    Skyview aviation data providers for New Zealand

    I am planning to relocate from the U.S. to New Zealand and shipping my LSA to NZ, but keeping my U.S. registration. I have all Dynon avionics- but no IFR navigator. I currently use the Seattle Avionics data subscription and use the geo referenced approach plates to practice IFR. Of the data...

    VS 0 mode

    I have tried to have the autopilot replicate what the pilot does in rising/descending air currents. Rather than try to maintain an altitude, accepting the updrafts/downdrafts will usually equal out altitude wise by the time you reach your destination. Especially on a long cross country you get...

    912is / Dynon ems 221

    I would suggest first making sure the Engine computers are on, and the lane lights are extinguished. If the screens still show red XXX's then you can continue checking the wiring.

    CAN fault after cold start

    May not be anything wrong. Has this been different than past experience with the same airplane? If so, what was done (changed or repaired) prior to this new behavior? Otherwise, if you are new to this airplane, just keep the power switch engaged 10-15 seconds after start, as long as everything...

    912is / Dynon ems 221

    I can't add anything more than it is probably a setup or wiring issue. Have you started your engine? If you have started the engine, does that change anything on the screen? If you can't start the engine yet, does energizing the computers (just prior to engaging the starter- when the lane...

    Emergency glide test findings

    If you review the most current revision of the manual, the guide ring is unchanged from previous versions. It does not account for terrain. The manual for emergency glide states that terrain and wind conditions are part of the calculations for determining a suitable airport.

    Emergency glide test findings

    I used it today as well. After reading the newest section of the user manual, I didn't have any problems using the feature, other than when engaging (holding the nearest for a few seconds) the message flashes that if you want the emergency glide feature hold the nearest button, otherwise press...

    SkyView Autopilot Control Panel buttons getting slow/sticky

    I sent mine in for the SB and when I got it back they had corrected the issue.

    Adding a 3rd axis servo (Yaw Damper)

    I used a capstan for my rudder. The wiring is identical to the other servos, Black-ground, Red-power, yellow-disconnect. The others go to the Skyview network connector. In the set up you will identify the servo with rudder inputs, left and right.

    AOA calibration warning

    I had been having the same problem, but with the new software update this issue has been resolved.

    Adahars Failure?

    I also agree 100% I had a failure in MVFR. I have since installed a second Dynon unit. I point out that the failed ADAHRS drives your Autopilot, and even if you have a backup instrument, unless you have it driving your autopilot you will have to hand fly the airplane. Installing a second ADAHRS...

    Curious spike in amps while Skyview loading and rebooting

    I loaded the new Skyview software today and (while the engine was not running) I noticed two spikes in Amps. I downloaded the data from todays flight and found that the two spikes (again while the engine was not running) were 43 amps and 53 amps. Both were only recorded for 1 second and were...

    LED Lighting Under HDX Button Panel

    I could but I don't find it annoying enough to try to troubleshoot. I have found some reference that the RF may be causing the problem with similar problems with LED's.

    LED Lighting Under HDX Button Panel

    No, the LED's are on their own separate circuit. Your observation about verifying the radio reflected my own.

    LED Lighting Under HDX Button Panel

    I installed blue strip LED's with a dimmer. The only problem I have experienced is that the lights go out when I key the x-mitter. I'm sure there is some way to fix that but I haven't found it that annoying.

    Chasing altitude

    It depends on what you mean by the autopilot chasing altitude. I think my autopilot is tuned about as well as can be expected, In cruise I notice a plus or minus 20 feet oscillation in relative smooth air to very light chop. Sometimes it may be plus or minus 10 feet in very smooth air. Some...

    Slingshot not connecting

    I flew today and verified that my IPad connected without incident and that the Dynons were ready to receive download data from my IPad. Since my USB's were up to date obviously there was no data to transfer.

    ADHARS component failure may not be obvious

    Update...... I took my own advise and installed a second ADAHRS- SV-201.

    Slingshot not connecting

    I received a pre-release copy of the software from Dynon in November and tried Slingshot using my IPad. No problems other than the complete update took a little over an hour. About the same amount of time to do my USB's at home. My IPad just had another firmware update and I haven't tried to...
