Have 2 classic D-1000 screens with the heated Dynon pitot/AOA. There does not appear to be a way to change the range of the AOA. The green bars disappear as speed reduces, but the audio chirping does not start until the yellow lines are reached, and it is very narrow range to the solid sound and...

Be sure that you are testing with some one at the controls. w With the seat empty you will get results that can't happen in real life.

It's the same as any other six-cylinder: 1.5 times engine rpm.

The default mapping is just terrain, obstacles and so forth. Some folks prefer that display for its clean, uncluttered look. If you want an FAA chart you do have to go to SA.

Dynon does not give you charts. It only supplies nav and terrain data. If you want sectionals, airport diagrams, IFR approach plates and IFR low enroute charts you have to go to Seattle Avionics

For your typical Vans aircraft 22-23 degrees works pretty well.

Yes, you need to go to the GTN, to the default nav page, and hit the CDI button to switch from VOR nav to GPS nav. The Dynon knows which source you are using on the GTN and will display magenta for GPS or green for VOR/LOC. You don't get to choose on the Dynon which nav source you want on the...

Concur. As John Deakin and others point out, if there were such a thing as shock cooling, flying through rain would cause serious damage to your engine. Mechanics are prone to assign a cause to a problem with no data to support that conclusion. Engine temperature changes much faster when you...

I took the article to mean the static AND transponder testing required for both VFR and IFR for an aircraft to operate in areas requiring mode C and/or ADS-B. There is no way to comply with those requirements without both a separate static system test set and a transponder test set. The only...

I have reported that identical SanDisk ultrafit 32GB drives work with certain Skyview systems, whether HDX or Classic, and not with others. I in fact exchanged one of my ultra fit drives with a friend, because his just purchased drive did not work in either his HDX in one plane or Classic in...

With any of the Skyview current software, as far as I am aware, the system on boot automatically does the internal testing of the transponder. That is not the question. You have to do a full system test every two years, which will involve both the transponder and static system where the...

In reading the install manual, it covers the situation, by instruction you to manually switch or otherwise verify the transponder is configured in GRND mode as well as switching the pitot/static system to test mode. That will ensure that any plane or ground station receiving the signal will see...

Just read https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2021/november/23/aircraft-maintenance-what-pilots-need-to-know-about-the-faas-adsb-performance-monitor?utm_source=epilot&utm_medium=email with regard to ADS-B output during a test being picked up by ground station and airliner causing...

Second that. It took both Garmin and Avidyne a few YEARS to get FAA approval of IFR WAAS GPS navigator, with much bigger resources than I think Dynon has. Nothing terribly wrong with how GTN or Avidyne units integrate.

Depends on whether you are concerned about aircraft standards for wires in high temp situations, like electrical fire. Electronically, your Skyview screens will function with any decent quality Ethernet cable. If it is a type certificated aircraft then you have to have aircraft quality cable.

Over the past 20 years I installed a UBG-16 analyzer in the Mooney I owned previous to my RV, and had frequent problems with probes, doing a lot of recrimping spade connectors. I switched to the OLC connectors and problems went away. First couple years with RV with Dynon probes and connectors...

Your most straight-forward fix is to buy the GPS 2020, get it installed, revise the transponder configuration to show you have the GPS2020, and you then only need to respond to the letter that you have installed a compliant GPS. The GPS 2020 is a direct, exact physical replacement, that you only...

If I understand correctly, you have the Dynon 261 transponder. With the proper firmware update, it is perfectly compliant. However you say nothing about what you are using for ADS-B GPS source. The Dynon GPS250 does not comply. You need either a Dynon 2020 GPS or a certified panel mount IFR...

AFAIK the GPS-250 only drives the Skyview screen, and the ADS-B-472 gets all of the ADS-B IN information. The only link between the two is where traffic or weather is displayed on the screen. What GPS is used for ADS-B OUT is a different issue, and must be compliant with the reg requirements...

So look at Sure Fly mags. Still less than 1/2 price of ElectroAir.
