    Skyview Classic knob intermittant

    I have intermittant operation of right hand knob on my SV-1000, serial # 002524. It is a re-manufactured Skyview I was sent after the original Skyview failed. The push button function works, the skewing sideways of the knob works but the rotating function is working less and less often now. I...

    Skyview Classic knob intermittant

    In my RV7, I have two SV-1000 classic Skyviews. The pilot side has the intermittant knob issue. Obviously it gets used the most. If I swap sides and install the seldom used co-pilot Skyview on the other side, is there any software changes that I'd need to update? Or do both Skyviews operate...

    Skyview Classic knob intermittant

    After quite a few years of enjoyable flights in my RV7 behind dual Skyviews, the knob on the pilot's side has become goofy. The twisting function in intermittant when I wish to change the Heading, baro setting or anything else requiring the twisting motion. Pan and push work fine. It is...

    Dynon Classic Error and Tech Dept response

    I was flying VMC recently when one of my 10" Skyview screens went blank as I was selecting something on the Map menu. I had seen this before but it restarted normally. This time, it came up with an error message directing me to download and email to Dynon. Gave me the instructions and...

    ADSB 472

    If I can't get power out of the orange wire of the Skyview, anything wrong with just supplying them 12 power off the avionics buss ? I would rather not.... Greg

    ADSB 472

    Configuring ADSB 472 and GPS 2020 troubles I've installed the ADSB and GPS and Xponder in my 14 yr old RV7. Have had Dual Skyviews for quite a while working before I decided to upgrade. Kept my old GPS 250 as a backup. Got it all wired and found that I do not have power to either of the GPS...

    DME quality

    I have been thinking about operating with the same assumption. After all, I can legally use VOR and ILS direction information displayed on Skyview when sourced from my SL-30, so it makes sense to file /A when using Skyview to supply distance information sent from the approved position source...

    "limited" EGT and CHT temperatures

    EGT Sensor Can I bend the end of the Skyview EGT sensor? One of them interferes with a spark plug wire right near the plug. I would like to bend the last 3/4" where the wires exit. Maybe bend it 1/2" or so over to the side. No where close to a kink in the tube, though. Will I ruin the...

    Position indication on startup with ver 14

    I had upgraded from the last version, (12 or 13, I guess), and I've only flown a few times with 14. I do have the SV-ADSB-470 installed and working for the last year or so. My concern was only that it is taking longer to acquire the GPS signal that I'm used to on previous flights.

    Position indication on startup with ver 14

    I start the Skyview after engine start outside and 20' East of the hangar and get the notice. I didn't see it before the upgrade to 14. Both displays act the same. Was wondering if it is expecting the 2020 antenna. Thanks

    Position indication on startup with ver 14

    I have dual Skyviews in my RV7 without the Dynon transponder or GPS 2020 antenna. I have flown a couple times since upgrading the ver 14 software. On startup, at the bottom of my screen, I see a message warning me about position not available. A question mark is placed on the little airplane...

    Uses for Timer

    In the timer menu, have an alarm clock function that wakes up the pilot on a autopilot assisted long VFR cross country. This could be either set by pilot or more preferably, it goes off by itself if the Skyview has no buttons pushed for more than 15 minutes. Maybe at 15 minutes it flashes an...

    warnings

    How about a hypoxia or sleeping warning. Selectable. Activates above 10k' and provides an on screen warning if no buttons are pushed for 15the minutes or so. Then in another minute it sounds a warning in headset. Then if nothing happens in a few more minutes, it descends the airplane to 8k'.

    New 6.0 autopilot tuning

    I was flying the new 6.0 autopilot yesterday and would like to know how to descend to a specific altitude and hold it while hand flying a heading. Specifically, go to a location and perform turns about a point to take photos. I couldn't make it work using either the VFR or IFR autopilot.

    Autopilot doesn't cooperate

    New dual 10" skyview in my RV7. Displays show pitch error and roll error. When power to autopilot is turned on, the display gets a big X and stops working. Ideas?
