To avoid messing up my existing Van's RV-12 ULS parameters in my SV should I just update to 16.6.0 using Dynon's Method 1? In other words, NOT try to update any of my existing Van's sSV ettings??

My SV's ADSB-472 is Version 2.4.20 and I get occasional dropped targets, ghosting, etc. Can I separately update my ADSB to the newer Version 2.4.58 without having to go through the whole 16.6 update? I always dread the updating process due to my fear that my existing parameters and settings...

Sure would be nice if the new SV Classic update included the following: Whenever the AP is turned ON or its status changed to an active AP function, the symbols/switches along the bottom of the screen should automatically revert to the AP series of actions (e.g., PITCH, ROLL, etc.).

Sure do wish that the GA groups and avionics industry would bring pressure to bear on the FAA to fix this potential safety issue. I know, I know, we should always call an FAA-approved briefer prior to flight for their latest cryptic description of current TFRs. However, wouldn't it be smarter...

Out here in the firey west (just north of San Francisco) we see a lot of fire-related TFRs popping up and then being cancelled a week or so later. On my SV Classic 10" (w/ ADSB 2020) it is not unusual for the published TFRs to take 30 minutes or more to be displayed on my screen. In addition...

Thanks all -- my avionics tech said he never sees any problems with Dynon equipment.

Tomorrow I am getting my biennial transponder check at a local avionics shop. This is for my RV-12 ELS (Skyview 10 / ADS-B / VFR-only). I recall somewhere that Dynon describes the appropriate procedure to accomplish this check. Where can I find this procedure?

Actually, "feeling" the servos is a good thing in a way. As part of your preflight (before engine start), you can move the stick through its full range of motion and both feel and hear the servos' connection. This is a useful thing to know come the day that you inadvertently break the shear...

I initially flew for some 400 hours on my RV-12 / Skyview without the KNOB/PANEL -- this worked fine albeit with a bit more knob/button manipulation (though somewhat problematic when flying IFR). What caused me to subsequently buy and install the KNOB/PANEL was the "auto-trim" function...

I used Van's kit to retro-install my SV-AP-Panel / SV-AP-Knob pair. It included all of the wiring and was easy to install. Perhaps Van's will sell you just the wiring harness portion of their kit?

If the change in course is for a short period of time one option you can use is the Control Wheel Steering (CWS) function as described in the User Manual. Of course, this means you would have to manually fly the aircraft briefly.....

Is there any way to pre-program my Skyview Classic to automatically depict the appropriate airport surface diagram (with aircraft position actively shown) the moment I touch down or slow to taxi speed? This would be a great help in navigating around complex taxiway systems. I know I can select...
