Configuring new Skyview mapping and EMS question

[TLNZ]

Hi

We have imported two new aircraft from Europe with dual 10" Dynon Skyviews and a couple of questions. Both have Rotax 912 is engines with the 221 EMS.

1. When stationery the engine instruments have crosses which come off on start up. I'm guessing thats because the sensors are not used and the data is coming from the Rotax EMS is that correct or do we have a set up issue?

2. For the mapping I believe we have the Dynon mapping sv-map-270 certificates. When they start up we get base layer and terrain and no warnings and I'm assuming if we did not have the certificate there would be some indication it was under 30 hour trial?

3. To add aeronautical data, I understand we have two choices, Jeppesen or Pocket FMS. Is there any location we can see screen shots of NZ actual mapping images to see resolution and what data is displayed, for example do either include aerodrome charts?

4. I understand we need to supply the serial number of either the master screen (presumably lefthand side in each cockpit) or alternatively both serial numbers. Is the serial number 5 digit numberic displayed under display set up license?

5. The databases installed are listed as REG - 13 - South Pacific Hi Res
AVDATA 10/17/13-12/11/13 FAA Worldwide terrain low res
OBDTAT 10/17/13-12/11/13 FAA
Worldwide terrain very low res
Base map created on 05/08/13 Europe

Are these the most appropriate?

6. Final question I assume we will not have the latest firmware installed as the aircraft were shipped from Europe in March so I should first update the firmware with version 10.1, is there a way I can confirm the version installed?

Thanks

John

1) Is this a 912 or a 912 iS engine? On the iS, there are some parameters that come from the Rotax's ECU and aren't available until it/the engine are running

2) That's true, but you can check and make sure the mapping license is installed by going to SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > LICENSE.

3) We can post a couple of images for you here. Is there an airport / area that you'd particularly like to see? Generally, Pocket FMS is stronger on the private airports that sport pilots typically use.

4) SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > SCREEN HARDWARE INFORMATION has the serial number.

5) Yes, except that you'll replace the FAA avdata and obdata with the PocketFMS or Jepp data, per above. When you install that data it will automatically overwrite the FAA data

6) That's also in SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > SCREEN HARDWARE INFORMATION

Thanks, the engines are iS in both.

We have maps licensed and found the serial number, also upgraded both to version 10.

I would like to compliment you guys on the upgrade process,  breeze, well engineered.

For map screen shots around the Auckland area would be great thanks.

Thanks John

Sorry to be a pain but my Mac wont open a bmp file, any change of a jpeg?

Your Mac's browser may not have native support for .bmp files, but the Mac's Preview App should be able to open / view them. Just save the image files to your desktop and then click on them - Preview should then open them.

Yes I tried that using preview but got a file corrupted message as attached.
