System Planning
2-6 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision R
To protect against aircraft electrical failures and anomalies, Dynon Avionics STRONGLY
RECOMMENDS that each SkyView display has an SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery connected to it.
SkyView’s attitude algorithm normally uses airspeed to provide superior accuracy. If a problem
develops with your airspeed reading due to mechanical blockage of pitot, disconnection of
pitot, or other pitot/static issues, a properly connected and configured GPS source acts as a
substitute. Dynon SkyView systems typically have one or more GPS sources connected to
enable Synthetic Vision and Mapping capabilities, but a primary and backup GPS connection is
especially important to preserve the attitude indication in the event of loss of airspeed
information in IFR aircraft.
In order to provide the most reliable airspeed (and therefore attitude) performance, Dynon
Avionics STRONGLY RECOMMENDS the installation of a heated pitot probe in aircraft equipped
for IFR to prevent loss of airspeed data due to icing.
Location Requirements
SV-D1000 and SV-D700
Observe the following guidelines when choosing a location for a SkyView display:
 Displays require about 2.4” (61mm) of free space behind the panel, depending on mounting
surface thickness.
 The SkyView Display Harness (SV-HARNESS-D37) extends about 3” (76mm) from the back of
the display.
 Add one inch beyond the physically required volume for the display’s heat sinks and fans to
operate.
 Avoid placing the display near heater vents or any source of extremely hot air.
 The display should be easily viewable without any obstructions.
 Displays have no internal inertial sensors and do not need to be mounted in the same
orientation as the ADAHRS or other modules.
 Displays only support a landscape viewing orientation; do not mount in portrait orientation.
 A SkyView system can include as many as three SkyView displays in any combination of SV-
D700, SV-D1000, or SV-D1000T.
 Many customers choose to allow room for and install a “panel mount USB extension cable
for each SkyView display. USB is used for installing firmware, databases, and electronic
charts (for which the USB flash drive is semi-permanently connected). Thus if space allows,
a panel-mounted USB connector can be more convenient than accessing a harness tucked
behind the panel. Such cables plug into the USB jacks on the back of the SkyView display.
Suitable cables can be found by searching on the Internet for “panel mount USB”.
