Skyview Wish List

[CanardMulti]

Just saw the announcement that Dynon has acquired Trig. Perhaps now Dynon will finally offer some version of the Trig TX56 or TX57 NAV COM that will integrate with Skyview like the Dynon stand alone VHF com does via the network as opposed to serial port input. In a perfect world, the offering would be a remote box with a compact tuning head that would be a drop in replacement for the current com-only. Ya gotta have dreams, right?

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.

Then your POH would be wrong. You can stall at any speed, so it's irrelevant. Besides, there's nothing to prevent you from recording those numbers yourself, if you deem them important.

 

[andresmith76]

Rhino - being an experimental, my POH is what I make of it. If the other V speeds, which can change, are indicated - why would including stall speeds be wrong?

 

[Rhino]

The calibration doesn't even measure speed, so there's nothing for Dynon to include. I imagine they have no interest in doing so because they aren't true stall speeds, and they don't want people confusing them as such. Yes, it's your POH. That's why I said you can record those numbers yourself.

Those other numbers (Vx, Vy, Xa,) are under set conditions, such as full gross weight, standard atmospheric conditions, etc. When you record your plane's numbers, you might want to be sure to include the parameters under which they obtained.

Exactly - and Dynon allows you to go into the Settings menu and enter those 3 parameters numbers as you want. What I'm wishing for is Skyview to capture and record the airspeed where each stall occurs for future reference. Doing so would be more accurate than me having to watch and remember the airspeed while performing and recovering from a series of stalls. If displaying those numbers on the airspeed tape might cause confusion then don't - just document them in Skyview's setup menu for future reference. I see no downside by having this information recorded. I've discussed this with Dynon Tech support and they actually thought it was a good suggestion, implying it should be posted on my Wish List thread.
