We're gearing up to visit with many of you at Aero Friedrichshafen and Sun 'n Fun over the next few weeks and wanted to let you know about our upcoming product releases.
New Remote Magnetometer for SkyView
First, we're coming out with a new optional Remote Magnetometer for SkyView. Many of you have asked for an option to let you mount SkyView's magnetic sensors away from the ADAHRS for even easier installation, and we're delivering on your requests.
The SV-MAG-236 has a list price of $180, but will be available at introduction for $140. The SV-MAG-236 is expected to be released in late April.
SkyView Software 12.2
SkyView Transponder Software Update to support ADS-B 2020 Compliance
SkyView 12.2 includes a software update for SkyView's SV-XPNDR-261 transponders. This update adds support for the ADS-B+ data format required to use the Garmin GTN and GNS (WAAS versions) IFR navigators as a GPS position source for FAA 2020 ADS-B mandate compliance credit. Pilots that have these navigators installed in their aircraft and connected to SkyView's SV-XPNDR-261 are encouraged to update to SkyView 12.2 and enable ADS-B+ format support on both SkyView and their navigator.
ADS-B / TFR Improvements
SkyView now saves ADS-B weather and all active/upcoming TFRs across restarts. This gives pilots access to weather and TFR information that is still valid when SkyView is turned back on, eliminating the wait for a full refresh from the ADS-B system after a quick stop for fuel or lunch.
Additionally, stadium TFRs in the US are now distributed with SkyView's free US aviation and obstacle databases since the FAA no longer broadcasts them via the ADS-B FIS-B service.
SkyView 12.2 is expected to be released in late April.
New Lower Pricing on the D2 Pocket Panel
Next, we're announcing a new lower price on our D2 Pocket Panel. Compared to the legacy backup instruments in many production aircraft, the D2 is, according to J. Mac McClellan "about 100 times easier to fly." Now everyone that can't install our panel-mounted avionics in their certificated aircraft can fly behind a safe, affordable backup EFIS. The D2’s new list price is only $1095. The D2 is available now from Dynon dealers.
Online SkyView Training Video Series
For the past few years we’ve offered in-person SkyView transition training classes at our factory and at major shows like Oshkosh and Sun ‘n Fun, but we wanted to reach more of you with Kirk’s charming wit. We recently recorded one of the half-day classes and now have it available online in its entirety in a 6 episode series. All totaled, there’s over 4.5 hours of content. If you own SkyView, there’s something in there that you don’t know (and if there isn’t, we’re impressed!) grab a notebook and some popcorn and settle in.
You can find the 6 part video training series online at The Dynon Channel. Follow this link to watch all of them in a single playlist.
We look forward to seeing you in the next few weeks at either Sun ‘n Fun or Aero Friedrichshafen!
