FltPlanGO and Dynon
- Thread starter GalinHdz

I figured it out.
1 - You go to Fltplan.com on the computer
2 - From the MAIN MENU select SETTINGS
2 - In SETTINGS - Click on EDIT AIRCRAFT LIST
3 - Find your aircraft and click on the DYNON* .gpx box
4 - Click - SAVE
Next time you create or modify a flight plan, when you get to the NavLog page look for the GPX Flight Plan link on the bottom right of the page. Right click on the link and save it to your USB thumb drive. Plug the USB drive into the SkyView and upload it. I downloaded a flight plan to my USB drive and will try to upload it into my SkyView tomorrow.
Now we could only do this via the WIFI dongle.

Oh.
From the original posting, it sounded like one could send a flightplan from the FLTPlan GO app (via wifi) to the SV. BTW, this wifi transfer is what I have been waiting for, so I hope it comes soon.

Yes, this is a wi-fi feature, like the existing capabilities with ForeFlight and PocketFMS. We haven't formally announced it yet, but it looks to be working.
Does this mean that it works today for anyone who has the Dynon Wi-fi? or is there a (Dynon) software upgrade needed for it to work?
Per install guide 15-16- Instructions for using the SkyView Wi-Fi System with specific devices and applications is included in the SkyView Pilot’s User Guide, which is updated when additional devices and applications are added to SkyView’s firmware.
I assume, per above, when announced that there will be instructions on how to setup fltplan GO as there is for the Foreflight in the current instructions?
Thanks!
It'll work with current SkyView software - no update needed. So in iOS, first make sure you're connected to SkyView's Wi-Fi access point. Then, fire up the FltPlan app. You should see a momentary overlay message that it's connected to SkyView. When everything is connected, and you're on the FltPlan map page, there should be a new blue square icon in the top bar with up/down arrows. Press that and you'll see options for importing and exporting your flight plan to SkyView. Also, FltPlan will automatically use SkyView GPS position.
FltPlan.com came out with a video about their integration with Dynon SkyView. It looks very easy to do.

Dissappointing. It requires that you create a flight plan on the Fltplan website, download it to the app, the push it to the SkyView. I was hoping that one could edit a route in the App and push it to the SkyView, which is faster, more convenient and does not require sharing personal information.
It also means that if you are at a mountain airport with no internet connectivity, this feature will not work.
Am I interpreting this correctly?

Also, apparently won't work with the Android version of FltPlan Go ...
No. You can create the flight plan on the web page, the device or on SkyView. Once on the device or SkyView then you can transfer between them via WIFI. When connected to the INTERNET the flight plans(s) are synchronized between the device and the web page no matter where they were created.
The video assumes you don't have the needed flight plan created anywhere so they show the procedure from scratch. The video even shows editing the plan on SkyView then transferring the updated plan to the device. When the device connects to the INTERNET then the updated plan will be synchronized on the web page.

Great! It was ambiguous from the video, but I did a freeze frame and zoom to confirm that the upload button was there for routes, not just a dowloaded fp. I can now ditch EasyVFR which does not provide Canadian CFS data or approach plates. I still have to buy datasets from them, though.
Fltplan Go is annoying to use, but it's got the Canadian info and is the right price.
