    Check Gear Audio Warning

    FEATURE REQUEST: Make the "Check Gear" audio call out repeatedly once triggered. Make it every "N" seconds or "M" knots slower, at first, and then more urgently as the aircraft continues to slow down, with the gear still not down and locked.

    Multiple Pin Option for Landing Gear Warning

    When I saw that V15.3.5 had "Added: Up to four discrete landing gear contacts now supported. Requires updated engine sensor definitions", I wanted that capability.  To start with I already have dedicated 12V  status lights through the Ray Allen indicator and did not want to give that up.  I...

    SV -XPNDR -261 Output of "Flight ID"

    Mine works fine, but does not output the "Flight ID".  Should it and if so, what do I change to get that?  I searched the installation manual and pilot's guide. I know this by looking at the received ADS-B data using two different ADS-B receivers.  They show a correct "call sign" for me but a...

    Landing Gear Warning

    Just installed circuitry connected to the EMS contact pin  for gear warning.  This works very nicely, BTW.  I used a tiny circuit board and a few parts so that the warning is turned off only if all three gear are down and locked. FEATURE REQUEST:  Make the "Check Gear" audio call out more than...

    EGT/CHT Troubles

    Has anyone else had trouble with erratic EGT/CHT indications using the Dynon supplied sensors? Been flying for years and putting up with erratic indications. Have gone over all the crimps with a quality ratcheting crimper with some improvement, but it doesn't last. Have replaced the EGT sensors...

    Skyview 12.1

    Glad to see the goodies that will be in V 12.2.  Can't wait! I am running 12.0 and don't find any reference to 12.1.  Is 12.2 just a typo?

    Aircraft Icon added in V12.0

    Is it possible to make the icon solid rather than an outline? I have a hard time seeing any of the icon choices across the cockpit on a 7" display whenever the map background is light colored. I looked at the .dfg file and found the entry "aircraft_icon_type", but that is just the choice of...

    Revisions to Dynon Manuals

    This is in response to complaints by some about the state of Dynon install and user manuals. I believe that the manuals are excellent right now.  A first time user has all the info needed to install and use the equipment.  I have been a user since version one of Skyview and the only thing I...

    Nov. AV/OBST Data

    When will the data be available, and why does the map screen say expired on the 12th, when the FAA says it expires on the 13th?

    Dynon pitot heater feedbac

    This question is for those of you that have the heated AOA pitot tube and have installed per page 15-7 of the manual. Do you see the EMS widget cycle between ON and OFF during normal operation?  I swear that I used to see that, but now it always says ON unless I pull the C/B.  Then it says OFF...

    Autopilot Modes

    Page 8-7 of Rev Q, Operator's Manual says the following about the simplified autopilot controls: Press the LEVEL button to engage the autopilot in Level mode. Subsequent presses of the LEVEL button are ignored. Page 8-12 says the same words about the expert autopilot mode, but then page 8-15...

    ADS-B Traffic In The En Route Environment

    This is adressed to those with the Dynon transponder and ADS-B equipment that have verified they are transmitting ADS-B OUT and get traffic back over ADS-B. Do you ever get traffic reports when you know that you are in the "en route service volume", that is, you are not in terminal air space...

    Erroneous Compass Readings With Heated Pitot/AOA

    I have always had the compass swing left about 12 degrees whenever the Pitot heat cycled on. Finally, I trouble shot this to root cause this week and eliminated the problem completely. The problem occurred because my airframe is all composite and I had installed all aluminum lines between the...

    Wind Direction and Velocity on the PFD

    I performed the National Test Pilot School (NTPS) procedure to verify TAS. This is the three leg test where the aircraft is flown at constant power, airspeed, altitude over three GPS tracks while recording the GPS track and the GPS groundspeed values. These six values can be used to solve for...

    H/W Update to the EMS and Probe Wire Routing

    I have a Lancair with all the Skyview equipment except ADSB and have had "electrical noise" issues in the past. This resulted in breaking squelch on COMM radios and jumpy engine monitor values. I have all the Dynon network filters installed which helped a lot. I still had RPM/MAP jumping...

    EMS Data Output

    Support, A little birdy says this data (Installation Guide, Section 18) is the same as or similar to the legacy products. Is true? If so, are there already existing tools to decode and make use of the data? Could do my own, but I'd rather beg, borrow, or steal. Regardless, it seems there...

    Zaon Traffic Data

    Dynon Support, Just added the Zaon XRX wiring to bring traffic into Skyview. Everything works as advertised on Skyview. This connection is in parallel with a Bluetooth connection to my tablet. Data is correctly arriving at the Tablet also. In the setup to use on Skyview, you set the Zaon...

    Skyview in Certified Airplanes?

    Dynon Support, Avweb had a blurb on 04/15/2011 stating that Flight Design will have a certified four place new design (the C4) in the future. The following statement appeared in the notice: The C4's avionics package may include the Garmin G1000, Dynon SkyView suite, autopilot, traffic and...
