SKYVIEW screen flicker

[woneill]

Both 7" screens will go dark for a small fraction of a second with no warning or pilot input to any aircraft system or control. Doesn't seem to be any repetitive interval. I've noticed it a few minutes apart and also thought it had been stable for an entire flight.

Any ideas appreciated.

Are you seeing red "X"es on the screen when this happens? Or are they completely blank? If the former: are you running the latest software version? (2.6)

They go completely blank and I am running v2.6 and all databases are current.

I have noticed the same thing happens to me when I turn on, or off, the power to the autopilot servos.

And mine is with no pilot input to any aircraft system or control.

And it happens when I am at the hangar (engine off) running on battery charger, as well as while flying.

Happens to me on startup as the starter runs.

The dimming when you start the plane is expected. Any time the voltage is below 10V, we dim the screen in order to reduce the load on your battery. If you have a backup battery, this doesn't happen.
