Maybe there is confusion between a spiral and a spin. Likely the autopilot would handle the spiral assuming the airspeed was below Vne. A big difference between the two is falling vs. flying. Spins: don't even think about it. Different types have different recoveries and some won't recover...

That is extremely great news! Thanks for getting this in the queue and giving it some priority! -Randy

Some months back a solution was being considered for those of us with small, tandem cockpits with no magnetically neutral place to mount the ADHARS within the sweet spot near c/g. The solution was to allow mounting somewhere like a wingtip and have the software compensate with configuration for...

Still need a remote compass. It's hard to believe how wonderful Skyview and how useless the compass is in my cockpit. Seems like circling back to let those of us with small, magnetically challenged cockpits enjoy all the rudimentary, existing features. -Randy

Forgive me if you already know this...just trying to help... You can hook up one side only. You don't need to hook up both mags. Pull the signal from the electronic ignition side because that will be a clean signal. You'll still get the mag drop when you check left and right because it's the...

I would still love a remote mounted compass module since there is EMF everywhere in my tandem. That would be easier than a flux capacitor. -Randy

I don't think I said anything like, "I have no idea how to contact ATC...help me be a pilot..." I think I could fly around the county in a Cub with a compass, fuel gauge, alt, and airspeed and do just fine. However, SKyview is beautiful, reduces the workload, and really adds to my enjoyment...

I suppose that works well at a towered airport (no tower where I am or the places I frequent). And, it has happened more than once that I can't recall exactly what So Cal Freq I need for the location I find myself. The charts don't have all the frequencies, either (and the point is to sort of...

Great job on the en-route frequency. I had asked for that on this forum close to two years ago and the reply was that the data didn't exist anywhere and so it would never be added to Skyview. I'm glad you found the data somewhere. Now, as a follow-on: I live in So Cal where So Cal Approach is...

I noticed that, too about higher Gs... SV usually pegs at +6.5 even when I am at 9 on the steam gauge. I did not notice anything about temperature, though. Interesting... I haven't been able to push more than 5--working on my tolerance, and up to that point, the digital and analog seem to...

Mine saw +8 and -4 yesterday....and sees a bit more than that regularly. -Randy

Thanks guys! I had the transponder checked prior and it was A-OK. I just thought I would ask since I noticed a difference from ATC. -Randy

I upgraded to the Dynon transponder (261) and have the ADS-B receiver. All seems to be working reasonably well; however, in more remote areas, the transponder signal seems to disappear from ATC whereas the Garmin 327 did not. The installation is exactly the same (antenna and ground plane)...

I have a small aircraft--two seat tandem composite. It's small and light for aerobatics. The rear cockpit is where the pilot lives (who needs all the visibility of an RV, anyway?). The rear panel depth is tiny--a 7" Skyview barely fit depth-wise and the rest of the panel is too small or full...

It is odd because the music player has no hum but the SV does. The 1200 and SV don't play well together at all. My plane is a two place tandem, day VFR, aerobatic plane. No need for an audio panel and no room in the cockpit for one anyway. I'm sure your iCOM A210 will provide your solution...

I also have a PS 1200. Hooking Sky view to the music input does exactly what was described earlier--hum/buzz that builds after quiet. I tried Y-ing music from my mp3 player and that overpowered Sky view but the buzz is gone. Either way, it just doesn't work well enough. The mixer idea would...

Thank you for the reply. I think having ATC freqs under nearest would be a great future feature. My old, old Garmin 250xl did that and it was quite useful. If someone desides to do a popup request for flight following out in the middle of nowhere, its back to charts.... Shame that Sky view...

Forgive the question if there is a simple answer, but I've read through the user guide looking for this, and I scanned the forum here. Does Skyview include the frequencies for the controlling facility for a given airspace outside of airport airspace? I usually use VFR flight following, and I...

Thank you for the response. I was super careful mounting the ADAHRS. I read the "within 1 degree" in the instructions, mounted the unit flat and square facing forward. I've been rewarded with pitch, roll, and yaw depictions that seem to be spot on while in flight with no software adjustments...

I've been flying aerobatics fot about 10 years, and I compete at the Advanced level. I recently bought an Experimental (I moved from an Extra 300L that competed with for 8 years) and I just installed a Skyview to give me better situational awareness with the limited panel space. I am impressed...
