    HDX level soft key

    I just upgraded to HDX from Classic. I was familiarizing myself and came up with a question. With the autopilot set up with expert controls, I can’t find a ”level” soft key. There is one in simplified controls but I can’t find it when in expert controls. Anyone know where it went?

    FD/AP issue

    I have had things happen when engaging lateral modes, that I shrugged off as pilot error until I recently decided to do some testing in an orderly fashion. I have had this problem with Ver 15 and Ver 16.0.4 SW. Below are the steps taken and the results which are not consistent with what I...

    Selecting Fly over vs turn anticipation for way points

    I hope this is not a RTFM problem but here goes. I am looking to see if there is a way to set waypoints for fly over vs. enabling turn anticipation (turning to the next leg before the waypoint). I have read where the status is indicated in the flight plan, but nothing talking about how to...

    Classic Skyview Wifi burp

    I had a strange thing happen today with regards to the Skyview Wifi. It would not let anything connnect due to incorrect password. Except that the password has been in use for years, and I verified the password in setup. To get Skyview to let any device connect, I had to go into setup and...

    Reverse knob direction

    SW version 12 indicates in the chenge list, that one can reverse the direction of the knobs for the map/zoom function. I have searched both the Skyview Installation manual and the Operation Manual and this forum on how to do this to no avail. Can anyone point me how the knob direction can be...

    Automatic Taxi diagram

    There are old threads from 2015 and before on this topic and I find it annoyingly still relevant. Foreflight brings up a taxi diagram very soon after landing but without an additional subscription tier doesn't show the position of the aircraft. That along with the fact that I have to look down...

    SV ASDB 472 traffic showing own position and calling traffic alerts

    I recently upgraded from the ADSB 470 to the 472. Skyview classic with 15.4.7 with Dynon transponder. Since the upgrade I have been seeing a traffic depiction nearly on top of my position and getting traffic alerts, only to have the traffic disappear. This is happening multiple times an hour...

    Pending or upcoming TFR depictions

    I wanted to provide an observation of a condition that can lead one into an active TFR. We recently had a situation where there was an active presidential TFR for the Bedminster area that was active through July 1. At the same time there was a future TFR for the same areas that is shown as...

    WiFi and Foreflight connection

    I have the WiFi dongles installed and fly with Foreflight. I have been flying with a friend recently who also has Foreflight. We tried to connect both IPads to the network and it appears to work. In fact we found that when we do that, if one IPad doesn’t have the flight plan, Skyview will send...

    AP tuning question

    Dynon, Since one of the distant past SW updates, I have had a slight but annoying porpoise in pitch during altitude hold. It is only really noticeable in smooth air. The altitude deviation is very small and not an issue at all, it is just a ride factor. I intend to do the AP tuning procedure...

    ADS-B IN traffic

    I have the SV-470 for ADS-B in.  I generally have seen this to be very reliable in that if I see traffic outside, it is shown in the system.  Yesterday, while cruising at 7500 ft (I was flying KFDK to KITH (east coast)) and talking to NY Center, they called crossing traffic 500 ft above and 2...

    Map info slow to respond

    I have a dual Skyview Classic installation with SW Version 15.0.4. Recently while scrolling through the airport Identifiers to look up airports the list becomes unresponsive for anywhere from a brief moment up to several seconds, like the system is searching a database. I have never...

    ADS-B Out flight check failed

    I recently upgraded my SV system to the SV-GPS-2020.  The SW is upgraded to 14.0.1 and the transponder SW was upgraded.  With the aircraft outside and the GPS receiving satellites, the transponder page in setup shows everything good. Initiated a flight from an airport in marginal ADS-B...

    Skyview AP anomaly

    I was flying with the AP engaged and the FD roll mode in Nav, tracking the GPS-250 flight plan.  The pitch mode was set to vertical speed (-500FPM) as I was descending from my cruise altitude.  The altitude preselect was set about 2500 ft below my present altitude. Speed hit the max limit...

    SW version 14 Traffic

    I just updated to V14 SW.  The Skyview installation includes the SV-470 ADS-B in, and I have the 261 transponder with the GPS250 for ADS-B out (SDA=0 SIL=0). Throughout the first and only flight,  I kept experiencing recurring traffic and warnings that were own aircraft.  I have just installed...

    Manual suggestion

    It would be immensely more convenient when using the manuals if the PDF page numbers matched the document page numbers.

    Fuel pressure transducer circuit latent failure

    I have had my Skyview system flying for a couple of years. I recently had a problem with my fuel pressure readings that has plagued me for 2 months. The fuel pressure would read 5 to 5.2 PSI whether there was fuel pressure or not. This was intermittent. This is a particularly onerous failure...

    ADS-B in dual band

    Love the ADS-B in functions.  It is just that one looses traffic when low around airports that don't have radar coverage and an ADS-R antenna on site.  Make a variant of the SV-ADSB-470 that is dual band.  Better yet, also make it an upgrade from the existing 978mhz only unit.  Even better yet...

    Message anomaly

    I experienced an anomaly with the messages today for the first time. I would get a aural "message" callout and when I checked the message box, there was no message until several seconds later. One message that I recall this happening for was the change tank message.
