    Swapped SkyView for HDX, now AOA way off

    Swapped SkyView Classic for HDX. Used to have aural and a good green, yellow red indication on panel. Since the swap no aural. Did a stall series to recalibrate, now solid red on screen, no yellow or red. Suggestions…?

    HDX trade up

    Picked wrong week to install new HDX. I thought the only difference between the Classic install and the HDX was the need to drill two new holes on bottom of both units. Have discovered that the screws are smaller, thus new nut plates. This has gone from a DIY to hire a professional. Also learned...

    ILS on Garmin 530W with a Skyview Classic

    Use my Garmin for nav. Use the Skyview for SA, it gives a better display. Loaded an ILS on the Garmin under procedure and then D to the airport on the Skyview. Ten miles out went to LOC on the Garmin as the controller. The loc and gs were active and on the Skyview but the cdi was not...

    AOA calibration

    Followed the on screen instructions to calibrate the AOA. Tried to get several “stall” markers in different flap settings. Clean, quarter, half,3/4and full flaps. After each stall, I hit the stall button followed by the save button presented on the screen. I was thinking that I could do this...

    AOA Calibration

    Bought a RV8A from an estate, so there is no one to ask the obvious. I have the heated Dynon pitot and verified in annual that I have it plumbed correctly with blue and white hose to ADHRS. I have found the one page instructions on page 15.3 of the installation manual on calibration...

    Heated AOA

    RV8A is in annual and all tore up with panels off. Have wanted AOA info for some time. Soliciting opinions on post installation satisfaction and ease of installation. I currently have a heated pitot. Is is just a manner of adding one additional wire to a pin on the back of the Dynon Classic?

    Seattle Avionics chart data… yet again

    Here is a pic of my data manager. No text, no red balls, no green balls. However it is still updating IFR hi, which I have toggled off. Seattle Avionics has.l been sooo frustrating for the 18 months that I’ve had the plane. Every month it takes 3 hours of downloading to just do the new. Two to...

    Updating new annual in settings

    Just got a new conditional on Rv8A. Old date shows red. How do I insert new date? Moving joystick around to find “the” way isn’t working

    SV320 Back up battery

    New owner from an estate, so there’s no one to ask the obvious. I have a Skyview Classic 10” and 7”. I get a “back up battery inop” annunciator on start up on the 7”. I did a battery test on the 10” and it passes. Looked into the avionics bay and see one SV320. Question, is it possible to run...

    SkyView Classic bearing pointers

    New owner with a Garmin 530W and a Dynon SV1000 and SV700. Thought for weeks that I could fly an IFR approach with the SkyView, but could never figure out how to load a specific procedure, learned here that I can see the aircraft position on the approach but not actually fly it. Need to use the...

    IFR Approaches solely using the Dynon SkyView?

    I have a Garmin 530 W and a Dynon 10” and 7”. I can select an approach on the Garmin and fly it. I was thinking that if I got chart data from Seattle Avionics that I would have a second source to fly an IFR approach. I am beginning to think that this isn’t possible. The SkyView presents 3D...
