1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Dynon Avionics SkyView system. This chapter provides some important cautionary information and general usage instructions for this guide. The printed version of this guide is in grayscale. Some figures and diagrams contain important color information. Reference the electronic version of this guide to view it in color. Before You Fly We strongly recommended that you read this entire guide before attempting to use SkyView in an actual flying situation.
Introduction This guide discusses the most common operation scenarios. If you have an operational issue that is not discussed in this guide, you can find additional operational information on Dynon’s internet sites: wiki.dynonavionics.com – Dynon’s Documentation Wiki provides enhanced, extended, frequently updated online documentation contributed by Dynon employees and customer forum.dynonavionics.
2. System Overview This chapter provides a general overview of the various parts of SkyView as well as a theory of operation. The information in this chapter serves as a reference only and helps familiarize you with the inner workings of the units. It should not be used for diagnostic or reparative work. Dynon Avionics provides periodic firmware updates that enable new functionality.
System Overview functionality until full troubleshooting can be performed on the ground. These alerts are presented in SkyView’s alerting system, which is described in a later chapter of this guide. Serial I/O SkyView displays have five RS-232 serial ports for connection to compatible equipment. All serial ports are wired into the SkyView Display Harness (SV-HARNESS-D37). All serial ports have configurable baud rates and data formats for use as general purpose inputs and outputs.
System Overview SV-ADAHRS-20X This guide uses SV-ADAHRS-20X to refer to both the SV-ADAHRS-200 and the SVADAHRS-201. The SV-ADAHRS-200 and SV-ADAHRS-201 are identical in performance and are designed to work together as a redundant ADAHRS solution. An SV-ADAHRS-200 must be installed in your SkyView system in order to use an SVADAHRS-201. The primary flight instruments on your SkyView PFD are generated using a group of calibrated sensors built into the SV-ADAHRS-20X ADAHRS module.
System Overview provide superior attitude accuracy. Should airspeed become unavailable due to inadvertent pitot icing, GPS ground speed will be used as an attitude aid. You will see a GPS ASSIST annunciation on the primary flight display when this is the case. Compass Accuracy Effects on Synthetic Vision, Map Performance, and Autopilot It is critical that the magnetic heading be as accurate as possible for optimal Synthetic Vision and Moving Map performance.
System Overview Navigation Mapping Software (SV-MAP-270) SkyView has a robust navigation mapping option that is enabled by a one-time licensing of your SkyView system. Aviation and Obstacle data is available for free for US-based customers, and is available via Jeppesen and PocketFMS for other customer worldwide.
System Overview SV-AP-PANEL The SV-AP-PANEL is an optional panel-mounted module that affords dedicated controls for the SkyView Autopilot. The SV-AP-PANEL includes dedicated buttons for engaging the Autopilot, Flight Director, and all modes including setting up fully-coupled approaches, VNAV, IAS Hold, and mode sequencing. It also has a LEVEL button to immediately return the aircraft to straight and level flight. The SV-AP-PANEL is available in both horizontal and vertical versions.
3. SV-D700, SV-D1000 and SV-D1000T Operation After reading this chapter, you should be familiar with basic SkyView display operation. For details regarding specific procedures (e.g., adjusting the barometer), refer to the PFD, EMS, and Moving Map operation chapters. The SkyView SV-D700 and SV-D1000 displays are identical in functionality and presentation. The only difference is in the size and resolution of the screen. SVD1000T displays also include all the same functionality found in the other displays.
SV-D700, SV-D1000 and SV-D1000T Operation Figure 1–SkyView Display Front Bezel Layout Note the Top Bar, screen, joystick and button labels, light sensor, two joysticks and eight buttons. The Top Bar is user configurable and displays important textual information. The Top Bar will display clock time or a timer (when running), autopilot status, battery status (when an issue requiring attention is detected), transponder status, and COM Radio status.
SV-D700, SV-D1000 and SV-D1000T Operation Joystick and Button Operation Joysticks and buttons are used for various functions including powering the unit on and off, entering and navigating menus, and adjusting values. Operation Basics Joysticks can be turned and moved. Specific joystick behavior is addressed in subsequent sections of this guide when necessary. Figure 2–Joystick Turn (left) and Movement (right) Directions A button has a function if there is a label above it.
SV-D700, SV-D1000 and SV-D1000T Operation Joystick and Button Operation Example Some parameters may need to be adjusted using a joystick. When setting values with the joystick, each character (symbol, letter or digit) must be selected and adjusted successively. Figure 4–Adjusting Successive Characters with a Joystick In this example, the first time you turn the joystick, you toggle between the “-” and “+” symbols. To change the succeeding characters, you must move the cursor joystick to the right.

SV-D700, SV-D1000 and SV-D1000T Operation Swap Mode You may, at times, wish to swap the entire screen contents of your left and right displays without having to select and deselect each page on each display using the above process. This can be useful for flying from the “other” seat, for use when flight instructing, etc. Press SCREEN > SWAP on either display to enter swap mode and switch the screen contents of both displays simultaneously.
SV-D700, SV-D1000 and SV-D1000T Operation of emergency. Charging a completely discharged battery may take up to 4 hours. To conserve your aircraft battery, the SV‐BAT‐320 is only charged when SkyView detects that your alternator or generator is online. Specifically: If SkyView system voltage is above 12.25V: SkyView runs on master power and charges the SV-BAT-320. If SkyView system voltage is above 10V, but below 12.25V: SkyView runs on master power but does not charge the SV-BAT-320.
SV-D700, SV-D1000 and SV-D1000T Operation o It has been one year since the last full Backup Battery Test. See the SkyView System Installation Guide for instructions on how to perform this test. o The 30 second automatic battery self-check that is performed when master power is removed during a normal shutdown did not complete properly at least 3 consecutive times. Perform the Backup Battery Test per the SkyView System Installation Guide.
4. PFD Operation One of the main functions of SkyView is its Primary Flight Display (PFD) with Synthetic Vision. This chapter highlights the layout of the PFD page, its symbology, and contains instructions for adjusting bugs. SkyView’s PFD requires data from an SV-ADAHRS-20X module. Synthetic Vision further requires valid GPS data. The heading/track, altitude, and vertical speed bugs are used to control the SkyView Autopilot.
PFD Operation Vertical Speed Indicator with Vertical Speed Bug Compass Rose/Directional Gyro with Heading Bug Slip/Skid Ball Angle of Attack Indicator (not shown in Figure 9) OAT Wind Information (not shown in Figure 9) The PFD in Figure 9 is a basic depiction and does not include any HSI or autopilot information. GPS Signal Source SkyView’s PFD contains display elements – such as Synthetic Vision, ground speed, and the HSI that depend on GPS information to work.
PFD Operation Figure 10–All Bugs On For example, if the Minimums bug (MDA) is off, it is not an option in the Joystick Menu as illustrated in Figure 11. The same is true for other bugs. Figure 11–MDA Bug Off If all bugs are off, none of them show up in the Joystick Menu as illustrated in Figure 12. Also note how the heading bug is displayed (i.e., “- - - HDG” above the BACK label).
PFD Operation Airspeed Indicator The Airspeed Indicator is displayed on the left side of the PFD and incorporates an airspeed tape with a digital readout, true airspeed (TAS), airspeed trend indicator, and airspeed bug. Figure 14 is an example SkyView Airspeed Indicator. Units can be set to miles per hour, nautical miles per hour (knots), or kilometers per hour. Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide for instructions on how to change the displayed units.
PFD Operation to it. You may also synchronize the bug to current airspeed by pressing and holding the joystick to the left or right, or middle (click) for 2 seconds. Attitude Indicator Attitude indicator symbology is displayed on PFD and incorporates a roll scale with roll pointers and a zero pointer reference, pitch scale with horizon lines, and water line symbology. Figure 15 is an example SkyView attitude indicator.
PFD Operation annunciate “ATTITUDE RECOVERING”. During this time, SkyView’s attitude indication may be degraded and other instruments should be used to maintain safe flight. After straight and level flight is restored for a few seconds, the ATTITUDE RECOVERING message will disappear. Full performance of the attitude indication is restored. This requires no additional action by the pilot.
PFD Operation If the marker is to the left or right of the attitude indicator’s aircraft symbol, this indicates that the path over the ground is different than the direction the aircraft is pointing. This depicts the effects of wind or a slip attitude. If the aircraft is climbing out of a canyon and the marker is above the terrain ahead, this indicates that the aircraft, at its current trajectory, will clear that terrain.
PFD Operation Altimeter The altimeter is displayed on the right side of the PFD. It incorporates an altitude tape and digital readout, Density Altitude (DA), barometer setting, and altitude bug. Figure 17 is an example SkyView altimeter. The altitude tape displays 200 units above and below the current altitude digital readout. Each tick represents 25 units, with every 50 unit tick drawn slightly longer to differentiate them. Units can be set to feet or meters.
PFD Operation Altitude Bug The altitude bug is displayed in cyan on the altitude tape and its associated digital readout is displayed at the top of the altimeter. The altitude bug is used as a target for the pitch axis of the SkyView Autopilot when a pitch axis servo is installed. The reaction of the autopilot to an altitude bug change depends on the state of the pitch axis, its armed mode of operation, and the current state of the aircraft.
PFD Operation Figure 18 - MDA Bug 4-10 Figure 19 - MDA Bug Detail SkyView Pilot’s User Guide - Revision Q
PFD Operation Vertical Speed Indicator The vertical speed indicator (VSI) is displayed to the immediate right of the altimeter and incorporates a vertical speed tape, vertical speed pointer (with digital readout), and bug. Figure 20 is an example SkyView VSI. The VSI tape can display ±1000 units, ±2000 units, or ±4000 units. Units can be set to feet or meters. Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide for instructions on how to change the displayed units and the indicator scale.
PFD Operation 1. Enter the Joystick Function Menu. 2. Move the joystick up or down to highlight (VS). 3. Click the joystick or move it left or right to close the menu (this is optional). (VS) will now display just above that joystick. The vertical speed bug setting on the PFD will be outlined to signal that it is selected. Turn the joystick to adjust the vertical speed bug. Note that while the vertical speed bug is changing, its display window lights up in cyan to draw your attention to it.
PFD Operation Heading/Track Bug If your SkyView system includes an autopilot, the heading (HDG) bug is replaced by a track (TRK) bug when the autopilot is flying in GPS ground track (TRK) mode. The bug is displayed in cyan on the inner edge of the compass rose. The digital display of the bug is displayed to the lower left of the compass rose. To set the heading/track bug: 1. Enter the Joystick Function Menu. 2. Move the joystick up or down to highlight (HDG) or (TRK). 3.
PFD Operation configured within SkyView - to prevent confusion in systems that have multiple navigational devices. SkyView’s own navigation mapping capability is always labeled “SKYVIEW”. The GPS waypoints are displayed in HSI info area for SKYVIEW and ARINC navigators such as the GNS and GTN. To cycle through the available sources, press HSI SRC in the PFD Menu. Course Indicator Figure 25 - HSI Course Indicator The course indicator has an arrow at its end which points to the currently selected course.
PFD Operation To/From Indicator Figure 27 - HSI To Indication Because an HSI rotates the course line on top of the DG, the to/from indicator always points at the physical VOR/LOC transmitter, or towards the GPS waypoint. If it is pointing the same direction as the arrow at the end of the course line, then that is a "to" indication. If it is pointing the opposite direction of the arrow at the end of the course line, then that is a "from" indication.
PFD Operation This only appears when tuned to an ILS or a GPS with vertical navigation output. When displaying an ILS glideslope, full deflection is 0.5 degrees. HSI Info Items Figure 30 - HSI GPS Info Figure 31 - HSI NAV Info (LOC Example) Textual info items that provide additional data about the HSI source are displayed to the right of the HSI display. The information available depends on the data being provided by the HSI source.
PFD Operation and Dynon's approach to AOA is available at www.dynonavionics.com/docs/SkyView_AoA.html. OAT Outside air temperature (OAT) as shown in Figure 35 is displayed in the very lower-right corner of the PFD. Units can be set to degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide for instructions on how to change the displayed units. If OAT is not valid (i.e., disconnected or damaged), then "OAT ---" is displayed.
PFD Operation Figure 36–SkyView Synthetic Vision View Runways on Synthetic Vision Runways are depicted at airports for which runway information is available in the US only. See the Moving Map Operation section for more information about aviation data availability. Note that in many cases, the information in the Synthetic Vision depictions of runways may not match the actual physical markings seen in real life. In fact, in many cases, the Synthetic Vision depictions show more information about them.
PFD Operation o 200’+: 12 lines Obstacles on Synthetic Vision Obstacles are only depicted when the Navigation Mapping Software is licensed or in its 30 flight hour free introductory trial mode. See the SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software section for more information about map licensing and obtaining obstacle data. Obstacles are only shown on Synthetic Vision if their highest point is within 1000 feet below your aircraft’s GPS altitude.
PFD Operation Traffic information is informational only, and does not relieve the pilot-in-command of his or her responsibility to see and avoid traffic. The graphical depiction of traffic is only displayed when Synthetic Vision is turned on via the PFD>SYNVIS menu option. However, the yellow textual “TRAFFIC” alert message on the PFD page is always shown when Traffic Advisories are known and traffic is enabled. Traffic is displayed as reported by the device sending it to SkyView.
PFD Operation Figure 38 - Traffic Advisory on Synthetic Vision Figure 39 - Proximity Advisory on Synthetic Vision Figure 40 - Non Threat on Synthetic Vision Additionally, yellow Traffic Advisory targets contain a number within them that represents how far away they are (in miles, nautical miles, or kilometers, depending on your system setup) from your aircraft. The yellow Traffic Advisory target in Figure 41, for example, is 3 miles away, to the left, above, and descending.
PFD Operation Figure 42–Extreme Pitch Warning Indicator Arrows Six-Pack Presentation In firmware version 10.0 or later, SkyView includes the traditional six-pack analog presentation of flight instruments as well as the EFIS tape-based display. SkyView’s “six-pack” flight instrumentation mode lets you fly the gauges you’re used to if you’re new to glass. After flying in the six-pack mode, try out the “EFIS” style as you get comfortable: changing the presentation is just a few buttons away.
PFD Operation Figure 44 - Analog PFD without Synthetic Vision To turn on the six-pack, SynVis, or EFIS presentation go to the PFD Menu > MODE and select the layers to turn on either EFIS or SIX-PACK with or without SYNVIS. All the same information is displayed on the six-pack and EFIS tapes and the six-pack format respects all the same settings. All of the information boxes for Density Altitude, True Airspeed, Autopilot alert banners, Flight Director, and bugs, etc.
PFD Operation ADAHRS (Flight Instrument) Redundancy and Cross-Checking SkyView systems support multiple SV-ADAHRS-20X modules for redundancy and manage failure scenarios by automatically switching to backup modules should an ADAHRS completely fail. Additionally, in the event that multiple ADAHRS disagree, the display will annunciate this with an on-screen alert that calls out which parameter(s) are not the same on all ADAHRS.
PFD Operation Figure 46 - ADAHRS Cross-Check Comparison Once you have determined which ADAHRS is incorrect, press DISABLE to tell SkyView not to use it for the duration of the flight: Figure 47 - ADAHRS Cross-Check Comparison (one ADAHRS disabled) SkyView Pilot’s User Guide - Revision Q 4-25
PFD Operation Figure 48 - ADAHRS Cross-Check Comparison – six-pack Press exit to return to normal operation. The PFD will annunciate that only a single ADAHRS is available for use: Figure 49 - Single ADAHRS Mode Flag If, after you’ve entered the ADAHRS comparison screen, you do not disable an ADAHRS, a red warning and ADAHRS CROSS CHK ERROR alert will persist in the Message Alert Area (above button 8).
PFD Operation ADAHRS Status The ADAHRS labeled ACTIVE is the one that is being displayed on the PFD. An ADAHRS labeled STANDBY is being used for cross-checking, but it is not being displayed on the PFD. PRIMARY / ALTERNATE ADAHRS Selection The ADAHRS labeled PRIMARY is the one that will be preferentially chosen by SkyView as the active ADAHRS. An ADAHRS labeled ALTERNATE is one that is available to be used in the event of a failure or problem with the primary ADAHRS.
PFD Operation PFD Menu The PFD Menu is accessible from the Main Menu by pressing PFD (MAIN MENU > PFD). Users can reset the baro, toggle Synthetic Vision on or off, and configure the bearing and NAV sources. Back Press BACK to return to the Main Menu. G Meter Press G METER to toggle the G Meter on and off. When the G Meter is displayed, it replaces the HSI/Compass Rose, though numerical magnetic heading above the HSI area remains.

5. EMS Operation This chapter describes SkyView EMS functionality and a few of the advanced ways to use it to monitor the health and operation of your engine. This chapter references the Engine Page. This page should have been configured during SkyView installation. Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide for more information. Engine Page Layout The three Engine Pages (100%, 50%, and 20%) should have been configured during installation.
EMS Operation customization. For more information regarding the Screen Layout Editor, reference the SkyView System Installation Guide. The green markings on pitch/roll/rudder trim indications, if they exist, nominally depict the take-off position markings as defined during calibration. Engine warning alerts are only triggered when their respective sensors are configured as self-clearing or latching alarms.
EMS Operation behavior is turned on (per the SkyView System Installation Guide), the tachometer and oil temperature behave in the following ways: Tachometer for Rotax 912: When OIL TEMP < 120ºF, the TACHOMETER displays these ranges: 0-1400 and 4000-6000 RPM in RED 1400-1800 and 2500-4000 RPM in YELLOW 1800-2500 RPM in GREEN When OIL TEMP > 120ºF, the TACHOMETER displays different ranges: 0-1400 and 5800-6000 RPM in RED 1400-1800 and 5500-5800 RPM in YELLOW 1800-5500 RPM in GREEN The alarm type f
EMS Operation To activate leaning mode, press LEAN. With this mode activated, LEAN highlights, and the label “LEAN” is displayed underneath the EGT bars to clearly differentiate it from the normal operating mode. This is depicted in Figure 59.
EMS Operation Figure 61–Lean of Peak To exit the Lean mode, press LEAN again; the EGT/CHT display then returns to its normal state. For best results, lean carefully by making small adjustments and allowing some time for temperatures to stabilize before leaning further. In addition to the EGT temperatures, you can also watch the fuel flow rate and CHT temperatures. Carefully read and follow your engine manufacturer’s leaning recommendations for best performance.
EMS Operation Tach Time - labeled TACH when displayed on an Engine Page - is a measure of engine time normalized to a cruise RPM. The cruise RPM parameter must be set properly in the system setup to generate a correct tach time Hobbs Time - labeled HOBBS when displayed on an Engine Page - is a simple timer that runs whenever the oil pressure is above 15 PSI or the engine is above 200 RPM. It essentially runs when the engine does.
EMS Operation They are available for placement on the Engine Pages via the Screen Layout Editor. For more information regarding the Screen Layout Editor, reference the SkyView System Installation Guide. The Fuel Remaining info item displays the current amount of fuel computed on board, based on your input of the aircraft’s starting fuel state and the amount of fuel that has the fuel flow sensor has seen flow through it.
EMS Operation Figure 62–Fuel Computer and Fuel Menu “Fuel Computer Quantity Adjustment” is the amount of fuel that you have told the fuel computer to presently add or subtract from the previous total fuel state. “Current Fuel Computer Quantity” is the total amount of fuel on board as far as the fuel computer knows. This is the number that ultimately needs to be correct in order for the fuel computer to accurately perform its calculations.
EMS Operation reminder to adjust the fuel computer, along with a FUEL MISMATCH message to indicate that the fuel measured by the in-tank fuel quantity sensors does not closely match the fuel computer’s fuel remaining value. Dual Engine Monitoring For aircraft with two engines, SkyView can be configured to monitor both engines when two SV-EMS-22X modules are installed. This requires two or more SkyView displays in the system, as each EMS module’s information is displayed on one display exclusively.
EMS Operation VP-X SkyView Interface Overview SkyView’s VP-X page provides the ability for SkyView to view and control the following features of the VP-X: Show a list of all configured channels on the VP-X, including the starter, alternator, trim, and flap channels. Show the status of each circuit, whether on or off or faulted (and type of fault). Total current draw of all circuits. View the current draw, in amps, of each circuit, down to 1/10 of an Amp. Reset a faulted circuit.
EMS Operation Figure 63 - VP-X Page with Fault Graphical Electrical System Diagram The top portion of the VP-X page depicts the following information about your aircraft’s electrical system graphically: Center, bottom (Vertical Power logo): Total current draw of all circuits in the system. Yellow cautions and red warning levels are triggered at the values specified during setup. Upper left: Main and auxiliary (if installed) alternators.
EMS Operation The column to the left of the circuit name is blank when the circuit is turned off, displays a green checkmark when it is turned on, and displays a red “X” when there is a fault condition. The column to the right of the circuit depicts contextual information about the circuit. Nominally, this is the current draw - in Amps - for circuits that are powered on. If the circuit is in a fault condition, the fault condition is described.
EMS Operation Power Circuits ON and OFF buttons: Press these buttons to turn a circuit or device on or off on demand. These buttons are not available if the circuit is in a fault condition. ON and OFF override the physical VP-X switch for the circuit (if configured) until the relevant VP-X physical switch is toggled.
6. Transponder Operation Dynon Avionics offers two transponder modules that can be connected to SkyView. When installed and configured, SkyView displays gain an integrated transponder that is controlled directly from the SkyView display. The SV-XPNDR-262 is a Class 2 Mode S transponder that is limited to use beneath 15,000 feet and under 175 knots. The SV-XPNDR-261 is a Class 1 Mode S transponder that can be used above those limitations.
Transponder Operation a. SBY: The transponder is on, but will not reply to any interrogations. This is the mode that the transponder is in when none of the modes below are active. b. GND: The transponder will respond to Mode S ground interrogations from surface movement radar. c. AUTO (replaces GND, above): Available when the transponder is configured to automatically switch between ALT/GND automatically (see the SkyView System Installation Guide for details).
Transponder Operation Note that there are some situations when the selected transponder mode may be different from the status annunciated in the Transponder Status Area. For example, if you select ALT mode, but there is a squat switch installed, it will keep the transponder in GND mode until the aircraft has become airborne. The requested ALT mode would then be activated. BACK Press BACK to return to the Main Menu. GND Press to set the transponder to ground mode.

7. SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software This chapter outlines what users should expect from SkyView’s Navigation Mapping Software capabilities and also covers operations that are specific to this function. SkyView’s Moving Map requires valid GPS and terrain data to function as a real time, look down topographical map. Aviation data is further required to show airspaces, airports, airport identifiers and other features overlaid on top of the map.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software If Navigation Mapping Software is not available, then either the system is not licensed or there is no valid aviation database in the system. To determine which of these is the case, check the status of the license in the Setup Menu under SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > LICENSE. See the SkyView System Installation Guide for more details about using Setup to check licenses.

SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Moving Map Page Layout The Moving Map Page as shown in Figure 67 displays a real-time topographical map in Track Up or North Up mode (depending on user setting). The map is sourced from a database that is stored inside the display and correlated to your current position using a GPS feed.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Moving Map Symbology Topography with Terrain Proximity Alerts SkyView’s Terrain Proximity Alerting should not be used as the primary terrain avoidance tool. It should be used as an aide with primary navigation instruments, charts, and other tools. Moving Map terrain is displayed in sectional chart color variations, representing various topographical elevations. Major bodies of water are displayed as solid blue.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software you’re within 100 ft of the altitude bug or if the arc is close enough to touch the aircraft icon, it is not displayed. Figure 69 - Aircraft Icon Figure 71 - Altitude Intercept Arc Figure 70 - Ground Track Line Figure 72 - Time and Distance Prediction Marks Distance Circle The distance shown on the map between the aircraft icon and the inner circular ring is the distance between them.

SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software The current ground track as shown in Figure 75 is displayed in two ways: the digital readout and the white ground track line. The border around the digital readout is normally magenta when based on the GPS ground track. When the aircraft is not moving fast enough for SkyView to reliably determine the ground track direction, magnetic heading is used instead. In this case, the border around the digital readout will be white.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Figure 78 - Course Line Flight Plan Legs Flight plan legs appear in the Moving Map display whenever a flight plan has been activated. The magenta line corresponds to the current leg of the Flight Plan and subsequent legs are shown in white. Legs prior to the current leg are not shown. See the Flight Planning section of this guide for more information about creating and working with flight plans.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Obstacles SkyView’s Moving Map represents obstacles using the same symbology found on sectional charts, as shown in Figure 80 and Figure 81. Only highintensity lighted obstacles are shown as lit. The geographic location of the obstacle is represented by the tip on single icons and the point directly between the tips of group icons. Obstacles are only shown on the Moving Map if their highest point is within 1000 feet below your aircraft’s GPS altitude.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Airspace SkyView’s Moving Map represents different classes of airspace with the colors specified in Table 6. The floors and ceilings of airspaces are shown within each airspace segment in the familiar sectional-style notation. Airspace Type Color Class A Solid orange with interior shading.

SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Navaids SkyView’s Moving Map displays navaids such as VORs, fixes, NDBs, and User Waypoints. VORs SkyView’s moving displays VORs, VOR-DMEs, and VORTACs with the same icons used on sectional charts as shown in Figure 82. VOR VOR-DME VORTAC TACAN Figure 82–Moving Map VOR Icons Each VOR has a floating identifier which hovers near its icon as well as a gray compass rose ring that shows the orientation of the VOR’s radials.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Airports SkyView represents an airport with a circle and a text name. If more information is provided in the database, a modifier may be added to the icon. A line in the circle represents the direction of the primary runway. Other symbology may be used in the circle such as an “R” to denote a private airport, an anchor to denote a seaplane base, or a ring to denote a military airport.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Motorways, Primary Roads, Railroads, and Rivers SkyView displays motorways as thick solid black lines, primary roads as thinner solid black lines, railroads as thin dark lines with railroad “ties”, and rivers as thin blue lines: Figure 87 - Roads, Railroads, and Rivers Enroute VFR, IFR Low Altitude, IFR High Altitude Charts When a USB stick with supported enroute charts is connected to your SkyView display(s), enroute chart options will be available under MAP > LAYE

SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Customizing Displayed Map Items The display of various map elements can be customized to reduce visual clutter. These preferences are located in MAIN MENU > MAP > MENU > MAP ITEMS. Use these settings to specify the highest zoom level that the various features are displayed.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Traffic information is informational only, and does not relieve the pilot-in-command of their responsibility to see and avoid traffic. Traffic is displayed as reported by the device sending it to SkyView. The precision and accuracy of the location of traffic targets may vary from device to device, and this may impact how accurately the position is represented on the SkyView display.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software only targets) because they are not able to request traffic data from the FAA ADS-B ground stations. Tail numbers will be shown below traffic targets when available. These can only be shown if your aircraft is equipped with Dynon's ADS-B receiver, and will only be shown for target aircraft that are ADS-B OUT equipped. Aircraft with Mode-C transponders or Mode-S transponders without extended squitter support will not have tail numbers shown.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Relative altitude in hundreds of feet is displayed above the symbol as a signed integer. So, the target in Figure 91 is +08, or 800 feet higher than our aircraft. This area is blank if the altitude of a target is not known. An up or down arrow to the right of the traffic symbol indicating whether the aircraft is climbing or descending, if available from the traffic source.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Symbol will always point towards the edge of the screen). This ensures that you are aware of the threat regardless of map zoom level. Note that the orange vector arrow may not be visible when a Traffic Advisory is off the screen.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software SkyView is connected to a TIS traffic device, but you are not in a TIS coverage volume (actual TIS devices such as the SV-XPNDR-26X or GTX 330 only). SkyView is configured for Traffic but there are no devices that are currently capable of providing traffic to SkyView. This could be due to failure of traffic devices, or an external device that is turned off.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software 5. SV-ADSB-470 with PARTIAL traffic service: SkyView will annunciate “Partial” traffic when it has ADS-B reception capability, but that ADS-B reception does not include either ADSB ground station coverage or radar targets included within those ground-based ADS-B traffic reports. Therefore, the ADS-B ground station is not able to convey a full traffic picture and cannot make you aware of all possible detectable traffic.
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Additionally, the Info window doubles as a way to find airports, navaids, and user waypoints in a variety of ways. When used this way, the first press of INFO will display detailed information about the airport or navaid that was most recently used or selected. The cursor will highlight the tab for the selected item type at the top of the window. From here, you can either move the CURSR joystick down to find the desired item by identifier, facility, or city.

8. Autopilot Operation This chapter guides you through the functionality, symbology, and operation of the SkyView Autopilot. It assumes that the Autopilot servos have been properly installed, calibrated, tested, and tuned according to the procedures in the SkyView System Installation Guide. For instructions on how to change Autopilot controls see the SkyView System Installation Guide.
Autopilot Operation Simplified or Expert Controls In SkyView 6.0 and later, you can choose between two different control schemes for your Autopilot: Simplified or Expert Controls. For instructions on changing the control scheme, refer to the SkyView System Installation Guide. Simplified Controls are great for VFR pilots that are looking to reduce the complexity of the Autopilot and cruise in comfort without a steep learning curve.
Autopilot Operation Other Autopilot Status Information In addition to the modes that are engaged and armed, the Top Bar and the area around it can communicate other important Autopilot status information. Roll Slip Indicator You may see this during periods of turbulence or if the strength of the servo is not sufficient to actuate the control surface. If slipping occurs on the roll servo, SkyView displays a slip warning as illustrated in the following figure.
Autopilot Operation Figure 151 - Pitch Slip / Trim Nose Up Indicator Hold To Engage Indicator Displayed when the disconnect switch is held down to engage the autopilot. The behavior upon release is different for Simplified and Expert Autopilot Control schemes. See the Simplified and Expert Control sections below for additional Hold To Engage behavior information.
Autopilot Operation Figure 155 - G-Limit Indicator Airspeed High/Low Indicator When the Autopilot is engaged, SkyView uses the indicator shown in the following figure to denote that the aircraft has reached its maximum or minimum airspeed limits as configured when the Autopilot was set up. When either of these indications is displayed, the autopilot will not pull or push on the pitch axis in a way that would exceed these limits.
Autopilot Operation Simplified Autopilot Menu The Autopilot Menu is accessible from the Main Menu by pressing the Autopilot button (over button 4) (MAIN MENU > AUTOPILOT): Figure 158 - Press AUTOPILOT in the Main Menu to enter the Autopilot Menu The Simplified Autopilot Menu, assuming both pitch and roll servos are installed in the aircraft, is illustrated below: Figure 159 – Simplified Autopilot Menu All of the buttons in the above figure are explained in the following sections in the order they appear

HSI+ALT will be unavailable and grayed-out if there is not a valid source (with active CDI) currently selected on the HSI, or if the autopilot is outside of its allowable engagement speed ranges.
Autopilot Operation Mode Track Hold (TRK) Annunciation HSI (GPS) HSI (LOC) GPS GPSS VOR LOC Level Mode STRAIGHT HSI (GPSS) HSI (VOR) TRK042 Description Track hold mode keeps the aircraft flying in a particular direction, as determined by the GPS’s ground track, or direction of travel over the ground. This target is reflected by the track (TRK) bug in the HSI. When the autopilot is initially engaged, the TRK bug will automatically be synchronized to the current ground track of the aircraft.
Autopilot Operation Mode Vertical Speed Hold to Altitude Capture Annunciation VS -500ALT Description Moving the ALT (altitude) bug away from the current altitude (when already holding altitude) automatically initiates a climb or descent to the new altitude in vertical speed mode. The rate of climb or descent during autopilot controlled changes in altitude is governed by the VS (vertical speed) bug.
Autopilot Operation o Roll axis: No change. The roll axis resumes tracking its HSI source. The Control Wheel Steering feature can be enabled and disabled via the Autopilot Setup Menu. See the SkyView System Installation Guide for details. Hold To Engage When the autopilot is not already engaged, press and hold the Autopilot disconnect switch will place the autopilot into Hold To Engage mode. The Top Bar annunciates REL TO ENG (release to engage) while the disconnect switch is held.
Autopilot Operation Expert Autopilot Operation and Controls This section covers how the Autopilot is used when set to the Expert controls. Refer to the SkyView System Installation Guide for instructions on how to change the autopilot control scheme between Simplified and Expert controls.
Autopilot Operation LEVEL Press the LEVEL button to engage the autopilot in Level mode. Subsequent presses of the LEVEL button are ignored. Messages (Text Varies) The Message Alert Area is always present above the rightmost button and contains important SkyView messages and alerts.
Autopilot Operation Pitch Menu The Expert Autopilot Pitch Menu is illustrated below: Figure 173 - Autopilot Pitch Axis Menu All of the buttons in the above figure are explained in the following section in the order they appear in the Expert Autopilot Pitch Menu from left to right. BACK Press the BACK button to return to the Expert Autopilot Menu. VS Activates / Deactivates vertical speed mode. VS will be unavailable and grayed-out if the autopilot is outside of its allowable engagement speed ranges.
Autopilot Operation IAS mode: Raises the IAS target, thereby causing the autopilot to pitch the nose of the aircraft down. ALT HOLD mode: Immediately changes the active mode to VS, and sets the initial VS to the Default Descent Vertical Speed configured during setup. This allows you to start a descent at a commonly-used vertical speed of your choosing with a single button press. NOSE DN will be unavailable and grayed-out if the active mode is not VS, IAS or Altitude Hold.
Autopilot Operation Figure 177 - VS Mode Active / ALT HOLD Mode Armed / Servos Not Engaged Engaging the Autopilot Engaging the autopilot with the expert controls preserves the current roll and pitch state of the aircraft thereby providing the pilot with the opportunity to command the autopilot without unexpected deviations. With the default modes of the autopilot being roll hold and vertical speed hold upon activation the aircraft continues its current attitude.
Autopilot Operation Pressing the button for any active mode turns off that mode and any armed mode for the axis, turns off the flight director and disengages the servo for the axis. Pressing the button for any armed mode disarms that mode. Expert Autopilot Roll Modes The following table summarizes the different autopilot modes of operation for the roll axis. Mode Annunciation Roll Hold ROLL Holds the current aircraft roll angle.
Autopilot Operation TRK In this mode, the roll axis will fly the selected GPS ground track via the TRK (track) bug. The TRK bug value is not synchronized unless you manually synchronize the TRK bug or utilize Control Wheel Steering (see section below for detail). This allows you to pre-select headings in an IFR environment before you want to actually fly to them. NAV In this mode, the roll axis will track the selected HSI source from a GPS, VOR, localizer (LOC) or GPS roll steering (GPSS).
Autopilot Operation Mode Annunciation Altitude Hold ALT 3500 Vertical Navigation Armed VNV Glideslope Armed Vertical Navigation Active Glideslope Active Level Mode GS VNV GS LEVEL Description Control Holds the current altitude target. ALT HOLD button or automatically sequenced from the ALT armed mode Captures the vertical navigation of the selected navigation source.
Autopilot Operation If the ALT bug is set, the Autopilot will also arm ALT mode. This allows it to sequence to ALT HOLD mode and level off at the pre-selected bugged altitude as the aircraft approaches it. Note that the Autopilot does not enforce “agreement” between the IAS and ALT bugs. For example, it is possible to set the ALT bug below your current altitude, but set IAS to a target which results in a climb.
Autopilot Operation maximize the performance of your autopilot installation. Before using VNAV, verify that SkyView is holding altitude in ALT HOLD mode within 10 feet of the altitude target stated in the Top Bar. If the altitude being held is offset by the requested altitude by more than 10 feet, VNAV performance will suffer. If altitude hold is offset by more than 10 feet, simply leave the autopilot in ALT HOLD for 5-10 minutes in smooth air.
Autopilot Operation Figure 183 - Dual Cue / Cross Bars with Autopilot Servos Engaged Figure 184 - Dual Cue / Cross Bars with Autopilot Servos Not Engaged If the flight director symbol is aligned with the aircraft’s pitch and roll water-marks the aircraft is in the desired attitude in order satisfy the autopilot’s guidance. When the autopilot servos are engaged, it will maneuver the aircraft to align the flight director cues.
Autopilot Operation Hold To Engage When the autopilot and flight director are not already engaged, press and hold the Autopilot disconnect switch will place the autopilot into Hold To Engage mode. Figure 186 - Hold to Engage Indicator When the disconnect switch is released, the Autopilot engages in roll hold and vertical speed modes. Effectively, this operation is the same as pressing the AP button in the Expert Autopilot Menu.
Autopilot Operation 2. If you weren’t already climbing or descending, initiate the climb or descent with the NOSE UP / DN buttons (either in the PITCH menu or on the Autopilot Control Panel) or adjust the vertical speed bug. 3. This automatically engages VS->ALT mode. Change Altitude with Indicated Airspeed 1. Adjust the altitude bug to the new desired altitude. 2. Press the IAS button on the Pitch Menu or the Autopilot Control Panel. 3.
Autopilot Operation (1) If the GPS does not support auto-switching from NAV to GPS, you must manually perform this action by using AUTOPILOT > HSI SRC. (2) Some devices, such as the Garmin 430, 430W and GTN series, can automatically change from the GPS to the localizer and send a signal to the SkyView to automatically change the HSI source at the appropriate time.
Autopilot Operation SkyView Autopilot Control Panel Operation The SkyView Autopilot Control Panel provides dedicated controls for all Autopilot modes. This allows the pilot to navigate other menus on the SkyView display while retaining direct access to the autopilot. Autopilot status appears on the SkyView top bar as normal to show active and armed modes as well as current bug values.
Autopilot Operation Trim Controller Safety Features Controlling aircraft trim in your aircraft is serious. The SV-AP-PANEL's integrated trim controller features the following safety features: When the trim controller is connected to two sets of switches or stick controls, one of them will always take priority over the other when the requested trim commands disagree. This is normally the "pilot" position, but whether or not this is the left or right seat or set of controls will vary by aircraft.
9. SkyView Touch (SV-D1000T) Operation SkyView Touch was designed specifically for the cockpit. Recognizing the challenge that turbulence poses in using touch gestures, SkyView’s pilot-engineers created an interface specifically to complement SkyView’s existing button/knob interface and not completely replace it. Touch actions are designed to be easy to learn and are used in places where they can reduce pilot workload the most.
SkyView Touch (SV-D1000T) Operation b. When the Autopilot is configured with Expert controls the left half of the status bar will short cut to AUTOPILOT > ROLL and the right half of the status bar will shortcut to AUTOPILOT > PITCH. 2. MAIN MENU > XPNDR 3. MAIN MENU > TOOLS > TIMER PFD Operations Touching a PFD item that has an adjustable bug instantly re-assigns a SkyView PFD joystick knob to that touched item, eliminating the need to manually reassign a joystick knob.

The map will resume following the aircraft. 3. The + and – will zoom the map in or out. In addition, you can use two fingers anywhere on the map to pinch to zoom in or out of any point or area of interest. 4.
SkyView Touch (SV-D1000T) Operation b. : Touching the button performs the same actions that the button does in the Map Menu. c. FPL: Touch FPL (Flight Plan) to bring up the Flight Plan window. It is used to create, display, or modify Flight Plans. It is equivalent to pressing Map Menu > FPL in the menu system. Reference the Flight Planning section of this guide for details. d.
SkyView Touch (SV-D1000T) Operation waypoint to the SkyView flight plan and touch the top bar for the TIMER before finishing the insert, it is the same as pressing CANCEL out of the flight plan menu.
10. COM Radio Operation The SV-COM-C25 integrates with your SkyView system in a novel way, allowing you to “load” airports to it to enable quick, single button-push frequency tuning via the dedicated TWR, ATIS, GND, and ATC buttons. You can also send individual frequencies to the SV-COM-C25 from SkyView’s airport info pages. And of course, you can also spin frequencies in the “old fashioned way” when you’re feeling nostalgic (or are following ATC instructions).
COM Radio Operation SkyView Top Bar COM Radio Status Overview COM Radio Status is also reflected in the top bar of your SkyView displays. The identification lettering (B-I) depicted below matches the figure above: Using your COM Radio Power The SV-COM-C25 normally powers on and off with your SkyView system. Press and hold the Volume Knob / Power Button to manually turn the SV-COM-C25 off and on. Volume Use the volume knob to adjust the radio volume.
COM Radio Operation When receiving on the active frequency, the following indications are shown. Note the arrow on the top bar that points to the active frequency, and the up arrow on the RX area of the control panel display that points “up” to the active frequency: Squelch Override (Monitor) The radio has an automatic squelch function which screens out noise and only receives radio stations that have active transmissions on them.
COM Radio Operation When dual watch is enabled, the SV-COM-C25 monitors the standby frequency for transmissions while simultaneously monitoring the active frequency, allowing you to listen to both (but not simultaneously). This allows you to listen to ATIS on standby, for example, while keeping tower tuned to the active frequency. The active frequency always receives priority. This is true even if dual watch is listening to a continuous broadcast on the standby frequency.
COM Radio Operation Turn the small, inner ring of the dual concentric knob to change the standby frequency in 25 kHz increments. o For example, if the frequency you start with is 123.450, turning the large knob will change the numbers before the decimal – 123 – while the small knob will adjust the numbers after the decimal – 450. Press the dual concentric knob on the control panel to flip/flop the chosen frequency from the standby frequency to the active frequency.
COM Radio Operation With a valid COM frequency highlighted, press the TUNE COM button to send the frequency to the standby frequency: Press the dual concentric knob on the control panel to flip/flop the chosen frequency from the standby frequency to the active frequency.
COM Radio Operation This feature also works when a Garmin SL30, SL40, GTR 225, GNC 255, MGL V6, MGL V10, Trig TY91, Val NAV 2000, or Icom A210 (with Icom sw version 1.53 or newer) is appropriately configured. The SL30 and GNC 255 can additionally receive NAV radio frequencies by selecting VOR frequencies (MAP > NRST > VOR > TUNE NAV). You can tune NAV frequencies from both the NRST list of VORs, as well as from the detailed VOR Info pages.
COM Radio Operation Use the TWR, ATIS, GND, and ATC buttons on the control panel to send the associated airport frequencies to the standby frequency location. By Airport Lookup From SkyView’s MAP page, look up an airport via SkyView’s INFO page. 10-8 Press the APT>COM button to load the airport to the control panel o Note this button is only available if SkyView has frequencies for the selected airport.
COM Radio Operation Use the TWR, ATIS, GND, and ATC buttons to send the associated airport frequencies to the standby frequency location Loading Airports via the Control Panel By Nearest Press the APT button once.
COM Radio Operation By A-Z / 0-9 Character Entry Press the APT button twice. Use the dual concentric knob to type an airport identifier. Note that this search is limited to airports within 75 miles of your location to speed up entry by limiting the airport possibilities. o The small, inner knob chooses characters (A-Z, 0-9) o The larger, outer knob moves the cursor.
COM Radio Operation Using the TWR, ATIS, GND, and ATC Buttons When an airport is loaded on the radio, press the TWR, ATIS, GND, and ATC buttons to send frequencies associated with that airport to the standby frequency. Repeated presses of these buttons will cycle through all available frequencies of that type (for example busy airports may have multiple tower frequencies): TWR: Tunes tower, unicom, and multicom frequencies.
COM Radio Operation Waiting for Data The loaded airport area of the control panel will show an animating scrolling black cursor momentarily when it is waiting for airport data from SkyView: Figure 195 - Scrolling Cursor No GPS The control panel and SkyView top bar annunciate that SkyView does not have GPS position information in the following way: Without GPS position, airport loading and TWR/ATIS/GND/ATC will not be available.
COM Radio Operation External Flip/Flop If you have an external flip/flop switch connected (typically to your control stick or yoke), pressing it flip/flops the active and standby frequencies just like pressing the dual concentric knob does. See the SkyView System Installation guide for details on connecting an external flip/flop switch.
11. Messages and Alerts SkyView annunciates important notifications onscreen, in a dedicated Message Window, and optionally via audio (if connected and configured). This chapter describes SkyView alert behavior. Loss of Information SkyView notifies users with a large red X and a descriptive label if a major failure occurs that prevents the display of information.
Messages and Alerts Alerts and messages are all categorized into one of three severity levels: o Advisory message. o A condition which is abnormal but not critical in nature; may increase pilot workload. o A critical condition that should be addressed immediately; may affect safety of flight if not addressed.
Messages and Alerts If the alert is related to an on-screen parameter on the Engine Page, that parameter’s value will flash and highlight red simultaneously. Engine warning alerts are only triggered when their respective sensors are configured as self-clearing or latching alarms. If a sensor’s alarm is configured as off, no alert will trigger, even if that sensor’s measurement enters a range defined as red.
Messages and Alerts Alert and Message Acknowledgement New messages and alerts that have not been seen are considered unacknowledged and are highlighted. Acknowledged messages are not highlighted in the Message Window. Display the Message Window with the rightmost button to acknowledge an alert message. This action displays the current alerts and messages and causes the Message Notification Area to stop flashing. Note that self-clearing alerts may not need acknowledgement if the alarm condition ceases.
Messages and Alerts Audio Alerts When connected to an audio panel or intercom, SkyView can generate tones or voice alerts for various conditions. Inhibited Alerts Audio alerts that occur within 5 seconds of SkyView initially powering on are inhibited to reduce transient nuisance alerts that may occur as SkyView comes online. Engine Alerts can be optionally configured to be inhibited before engine start or 5 minutes, whichever comes first. See the SkyView System Installation Guide for details.

Messages and Alerts should treat this error similarly to the way you would treat the failure of a single ADAHRS in a system that is equipped with two of them: There is little you can do to troubleshoot such an issue in flight, should it occur. However, you should exercise the same precautions you would exercise if you did not have backup flight instruments. If you are flying in IMC, especially, you should consider making a precautionary landing as soon as possible.
