Skyview Wish List

[JPSchultz]

I just completed the stall/AOA calibrations for the 4 different flap settings on my RV-14A. I was surprised to then find out Skyview doesn't record or display the airspeed where each stall occurred.

I wish Skyview would indicate the stall airspeed values for each flap setting (Vs, Vs1, Vs2, Vso) on the airspeed indicator tape as it does for the Vx, Vy & Va performance speeds. Having these real-world numbers would create a great reference I could then add to my POH.

Your stall speed varies with gross weight (and associated g loading), rate of change of airspeed, center of gravity, and prop wash over the wing (i.e. power). The speed you stalled your airplane is unique to those factors. To calculate your true stall speed, you need to use a different method than the one used to calibrate the AoA (refer to EAA Flight Test Cards).

I am curious about what 4 flap settings you programmed on your 14. I only programmed full up, half flap (approach and shortfield takeoff) and full flap (landing).

I do understand how stall speed is affected by all the factors you mention. What I am asking is the Dynon software record the speed at which each stall occurred following the on-screen instructions.

I calibrated my RV-14A's stalls at 4 different flaps settings - 0°, 10°, 20° & 30°.

I'd also like to see the auto pilot status bar move with the PFD when that is moved to the right half of the screen instead of staying over the map page.

CPDLC!!

Controller-Pilot Data Link Connection - the ability to "text" ATC messaging back and forth instead of tying up the frequency. This is the way forward!

With how often it *doesn't* work and with the required subscription...no thanks.

At this point, I'd be happy if they just stopped breaking things with each update i.e. map info items are gone as of 17.4.

Bringing this subject up again.

We all have been listing to the wish list for a while now. Am I the only one not seeing any movement from Dynon? Yes there was an update late last year, but did any of us really benefit from that update?

Avidyne is about to release 10.3.2.2 for the IFD navigators. Some good stuff being added, not much for Dynon users. I thought this was an interesting added feature.

• Added support for Aspen display of Enroute VNAV

Why can't Dynon work with Avidyne to so the same. I have talked with Avidyne at AirVenture, the last 2 years about this subject and the response I get every time is Dynon has not asked. When I ask Dynon why not, I got a snippy comment from a young marketing rep saying it is not important to Dynon. Really!

Enroute VNAV is an important tool, and increase Flight Safety by reducing pilot work load. I agree, also makes pilots lazier, but it is a tool that is provided by the IFD just not displayed on Dynon. I have a G5 as a back up ADI which displays the Enroute VNAV guidance.

As a Technical Advisor for my EAA Chapter, when I get asked which avionics system to install I then ask what is the mission. If the plan is to fly only VFR then Dynon for sure. But if the mission is for a very capable IFR aircraft then go with Garmin. There are a lot of great ideas on this thread, Dynon can do so much more if they really want to.

Just my thoughts
