    Skyview Classic delayed startup

    My 7year old SV has started some weird behaviour on startup. After a short time, coloured bars appear on the screen and it appears that SV has frozen in a weird state. The screen then goes black. After a short time this cycle repeats. After 3 or 4 repetitions SV starts normally and all is well...

    Great Dynon Support and Service

    Just a quick acknowledgement of the great service and support I received recently from Dynon. After a number of fellow pilots complained that my radio transmissions were hard to understand I checked the SV-COM-425 radio with a power/swer meter and found the output had dropped to 0.2watt...

    Trouble with uploads to Savvyanalysis

    Hi All Anyone else having trouble uploading log files to Savvyanalysis? I now get parser errors, even with previous files that used to work. I have a ticket open with their support but the resolution seems to be taking a long time. Doug

    Dynon GPS Quality parameters

    Hi Dynon It would be quite useful if the user data log contained more fields pertaining to gps quality, in particular hdop and vdop which is currently displayed on the gps status screen. This would enable more detailed checking of the gps quality post flight. Fields for each SV would be even...

    Analyze Cruise Performance

    Hi All For those of you who download user logs from Skyview to use with Savvyanalysis or just to analyze, here is a little excel macro useful in analyzing the cruise performance of your aircraft by averaging a number of columns over a range of Hobbs times. I use Savvyanalysis to choose a range...

    Sensor data not output on log

    Hi All I have recently added a sensor to C37 P10 (General Input 6) The input is designed to show Generator output current on a Rotax 912ULS and works great, with the displayed current widget working perfectly. But when I export user data logs and inspect the log, the column for this sensor...

    Sensor Definition for a Hall Effect current sensor

    Hi All Here is a definition for another Hall Effect Current Sensor, range 0 to 30amps. The ACS715 sensor is about the size of a postage stamp, made by Pololu and costs about $10 The shunt resistance is only 1.2 milliohms Built in isolation of 2100 volts prevents any ground loops affecting the...

    SV-BAT-320 and lithium iron phosphate batteries

    Hi All The SV system only charges its backup battery when the supply voltage is greater then 12.25 volts. This is done so that the backup battery is only charged whilst the engine is running (says manual) But the terminal voltage of the LiFeP battery is a lot higher than Lead acid while not...

    Whats wrong with this sensor definition?

    Hi all Just defined a sensor definition to use with a thermistor to measure temperature. Mapped to pin 12, the sensor debug screen correctly shows the raw voltage and the calibrated temperature. The problem occurs when I go to setup the sensor range high value and low value. I am trying to...

    Suggestion for another EMS gauge

    Hi Dynon A nice optional gauge to display on the EMS would be acceleration, based on gps ground speed and indicated airspeed. The units could be metric or imperial. The usefulness of this gauge would be during the takeoff roll. Each type of aircraft will have typical accelerations required to...

    Custom Audio Alerts

    Hi All I don't believe its possible to have a custom audio file saved on the usb stick attached to a particular sensor alert. This would enable you to program a general input for alerts and also annunciate warnings of your own design. Does anyone think that is a worthwhile feature? Doug

    Traffic display on Skyview from PowerFlarm

    Hi all Can anyone tell me how well traffic from PowerFlarm is displayed on the Skyview PFD and map? I would think that ADSB and Flarm traffic is displayed as the appropiate icon, showing relative height and direction. But what about traffic from a mode C transponder that has no direction...

    Audible alert on low Airspeed

    Does anyone know if there is anyway to configure skyview to generate an audible alert if airspeed falls below a preset value? Would be useful during final

    SV-AP-PANEL in simplified mode

    Hi All I cannot understand why the SV-AP-PANEL does not do anything when the autopilot mode is set to simplified. Presumably the key presses are still sent to the skyviwe panel and discarded deliberately. In simple mode I would at least have the following operate: LEVEL initiates level mode TRK...

    Rotax oil pressure pn 456180 definition wrong?

    Hi Everyone I have the newer Oil Pressure sensor installed, PN 456180 in a new aircraft built mid 2015 with a 912ULS. I noticed the ems sensor chosen on the skyview system was "ROTAX OIL PRESSURE (HONEYWELL) not "ROTAX OIL PRESSURE (P/N 456180)" On inspection of the latest sensor file...

    Slip Warning

    A useful feature on Skyview, especially for training, would be an audible warning when the aircraft is slipping, annunciating "slip right" or "slip left" as appropriate. Two settings may be a slip percent x and a debounce time y. If the aircraft is slipping by more than x % for more than y...
