New SkyView 2.6 Firmware: SkyView firmware 2.6 adds the ability to alert and display air traffic graphically. Traffic alerts will show up on SkyView’s moving map and synthetic vision displays using standard TCAS 1 symbols, identifying the location, severity of threat, distance, vertical separation and heading of any aircraft within the traffic system range. Pilots will have immediate situational awareness of traffic that they can easily track.
Within the United States, SkyView displays TIS traffic when connected to Dynon’s SV-XNPNR-261 or SV-XPNDR-262 Mode-S transponders, or a Garmin GTX 330 Mode-S transponder. TIS is a ground-based system available in all Class B and some Class C airspace where most traffic conflicts arise. It uses the same radar that is used by controllers.
SkyView also receives traffic information from a Zaon XRX passive traffic receiver, a NavWorx ADS-B receiver, a Trig ADS-B receiver, or any device that outputs the industry standard GTX 330 TIS traffic format. This capability allows SkyView’s new traffic feature to be used anywhere in the world, utilizing different traffic receiver technologies.
Enhanced Redundancy - Wiring Change Required: To enhance multi-display redundancy in version 2.6 firmware, external serial devices must now have their serial port inputs and outputs connected to all displays in a multi-display SkyView system. This wiring change must be made at the same time SkyView is upgraded to 2.6. See the Dynon Blog for a full description of which systems are effected and detailed wiring instructions.
New Mode S SV-XPNDR-262 and SV-XPNDR-261 Transponders: These new transponders are integrated into SkyView, with control and annunciation appearing on the SkyView Display. The transponder module is small and light, so it can be mounted anywhere in the airplane that is convenient. There are two models: the SV-XPNDR-261 for high performance aircraft, and the SV-XPNDR-262 for aircraft flying less than 15,000' and 175 Knots. The only difference between the two is the output power. Both add TIS traffic information. (Note, TIS traffic is only available in the U.S. in many Class B and C airspaces with radar coverage. SkyView can also receive traffic information from the Zaon XRX, NavWorx, and GTX 330 products.) Also, both products are certified and will meet the FAA ADS-B 2020 mandate. (Full ADS-B Out compliance will require that a TSO-C146A GPS be connected.)
New SV-ARINC-429 Module: The SkyView SV-ARINC-429 Module delivers on the promise to make SkyView compatible with certified GPS receivers, integrating with radios such as the Garmin 430/530. This includes advanced features such as GPS steering, CDI auto-scaling and vertical guidance information from WAAS-enabled GPS receivers. This Module also enables the full suite of G430/530 VOR and localizer functionality. With the addition of this module, SkyView eliminates the need to install a conventional CDI/GS head for the Garmin 430/530.
