Description |
|
|
Added: Caution alert if transponder hex code is not set. |
|
|
Added: Option to alert the pilot when the current BARO setting and the nearest METAR- |
|
|
based altimeter setting are significantly different (requires SV-ADSB-470). |
|
|
Added: Audible “AUTOPILOT” callout when the autopilot is engaged. |
|
|
Added: Alerts when SV-AP-PANEL, or SV-KNOB-PANEL go offline. |
|
|
Added: Alert when an external Level button is connected and detected stuck at boot. |
|
|
Added: GPS-based distances to bearing sources in HSI info area (when only one bearing |
|
|
source is displayed). |
|
|
Added: Alert for detectable audio subsystem failures. |
|
|
Added: MAP MENU > FLIGHT PLAN OPTIONS > PLAN GROUND SPEED lets SkyView |
|
|
perform ETE, ETA, and other speed-dependent calculations at a user-specified ground |
|
|
speed when not flying. |
|
|
Improved: Traffic service/device reception quality indicator on map page. |
R (cont.) |
August 2014 |
Improved: Additional failure detection and annunciation of rate sensors, accelerometers, |
|
|
and pressure transducers in the SV-ADAHRS-20X. |
|
|
Improved: Alert that annunciates when there is no high-res terrain available for the |
|
|
current aircraft location (usually because a different world region is loaded). |
|
|
Improved: Joystick knob menu now annunciates successful sync of any bug or BARO |
|
|
setting when you press/hold the joystick knob. |
|
|
Improved: Bugs can now be turned on and off per display via PFD>BUGS. The presence of |
|
|
an autopilot no longer forces all bugs to be shown on all displays. |
|
|
Improved: Display dimming algorithm and menu control scheme improved to disallow |
|
|
brightness settings that would result in an illegible (too dim) display. |
|
|
Improved: Airport identifiers on MAP are now white to improve legibility. |
|
|
Improved: PFD>XPNDR menu no longer has a time-out that automatically backs out of |
|
|
menu. |
|
|
Improved: ROP/LOP EMS info widget now says “PK?” instead of “UND” when calculation |
|
|
is out of range or not possible for the configuration. |
|
|
|
|
|
New: Autopilot Auto-Trim. The SkyView AutoPilot can automatically re-trim the aircraft as |
|
|
it flies under autopilot control. This feature requires that the aircraft has an SV-AP-PANEL |
|
|
and is using its integrated trim controller for trim servo actuation. |
|
|
New: OBS Mode that allows pilots easily set and adjust an inbound course to any |
|
|
navigable point on the map. That inbound course may then be easily adjusted with the |
|
|
HSI CRS knob, similar to how one would with a VOR. This is useful to approach an airport |
|
|
from a specific direction, for example, without having to create a second waypoint to |
|
|
create a full flight plan leg. |
|
|
New: Aircraft icon displayed on the Map and in the HSI PFD can be changed to one of over |
S |
January 2015 |
a dozen types of aircraft. |
|
|
Added: Alerts that let the pilot know if the CPU within SkyView's display is overheating |
|
|
due to failure of SkyView's thermal dissipation features. |
|
|
Added: New option under MAP MENU > MAP ITEMS > TFR OPACITY that allows pilots to |
|
|
change the opacity of TFRs. This can be used to tune the visibility of co-located TFRs and |
|
|
underlying map features. |
|
|
Added: Support for sending/receiving frequencies to the Garmin GTR-200. This does not |
|
|
include the ability to send aviation database information to the GTR-200. |

Description |
|
|
Improved: When starting navigation via the "direct-to" feature, SkyView now anticipates |
|
|
the initial turn (if ones is required) and starts navigating from the end of that initial turn. |
|
|
This eliminates s-turning after the initial turn towards the "direct-to" destination. |
|
|
Improved: Video input can be flipped horizontally and/or vertically. |
|
|
Improved: Since "ON" mode is almost never used in mode-S operations, and pilots using |
|
|
that mode likely intend to be in ALT, a XPNDR NOT IN ALT MODE alert is presented |
|
|
whenever the SV-XPNDR-26X has been in "ON" mode for >5 seconds. |
|
|
Improved: Notification when SV-BAT-320 is severely discharged upon boot. This is most |
|
|
likely to occur immediately after performing the yearly battery rundown test. |
|
|
Improved: GPS location now sent to GNC 255 and GTR 225 radios to enable their ability to |
|
|
look up aviation features from their self-contained databases. |
|
|
Improved: XPNDR HEX CODE NOT SET alert now provided whenever an ADS-B receiver is |
|
|
installed but a valid HEX code is not set. |
|
|
Improved: MAP joystick/knob function can be set to either the left of right joystick/knob |
|
|
when MAP is full-screen (100% Page). |
|
|
Improved: Map zoom/range feature can be reversed so that clockwise rotation "zooms |
|
|
in" to the map (decreases range) to suit user preference. |
|
|
Improved: IAS bug now shown on six-pack PFD page. |
|
|
Improved: EGTs and CHTs that are displaying a "red X" due to probe failure no longer |
|
|
show a railed pictorial value on the analog graph graphical display. |
|
|
Improved: When a GTN or GNS series ARINC navigator is in GPS OBS mode, the selected |
|
|
inbound course to the waypoint being navigated to is depicted on SkyView's map when |
|
|
that navigator's flight plan the displayed map. |
S (cont.) |
January 2015 |
Improved: Display auto-dimming improved to improve behavior during light changes such |
|
|
as when a flashlight is used at night. |
|
|
Improved: Runways with unknown length are not shown when NRST list is being filtered |
|
|
by runway length. |
|
|
Improved: Automatic switching of AIR and GROUND modes for the SV-26X-XPNDR when |
|
|
flying at low airspeed. |
|
|
Improved: "GAMI"-style fuel flow spread is now always displayed in GPH to follow usage |
|
|
convention. |
|
|
Improved: PFD pitch ladder clipping adjusted to avoid visual conflicts with turn rate and |
|
|
heading elements above the DG/HSI. |
|
|
Fixed: ADS-B Density Altitude calculation. |
|
|
Fixed: SkyView would take longer (up to 2 minutes) to boot one time after high resolution |
|
|
terrain was loaded. This bug was introduced in 11.1. |
|
|
Improved: Knob debouncing algorithm to eliminate extra or erratic value changes when |
|
|
turning knobs. This affects both SkyView display knobs and those one SkyView control |
|
|
panels. |
|
|
Fixed: Airport icons in the NRST and INFO lists were erroneously being displayed as |
|
|
weather icons instead of the chart-style icons. |
|
|
Fixed: PAL mode now works with Video Input Adapter. |
|
|
Fixed: NO HI-RES TERRAIN message no longer annunciated due to GPS data loss. |
|
|
Fixed: incorrect error message when trying to load .duc packages a second time. |
|
|
Fixed: Upcoming TFRs received via ADS-B were incorrectly color-coded by local time |
|
|
instead of UTC time. |

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. Use the contact information mentioned earlier in this guide as resources for staying current on firmware availability for SkyView equipment. Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide for instructions on how to update firmware on SkyView equipment.
SV-D700, SV-D1000 and SV-D1000T
This guide refers to the SV-D700 and SV-D1000 as displays.
Functions
SkyView displays can act as a Primary Flight Display (PFD) with Synthetic Vision, an Engine Monitoring System (EMS), and a Moving Map in a variety of customizable screen layouts. Data is sourced from various connected modules and devices. Subsequent chapters in this guide address PFD, EMS, and Moving Map functions in more detail.
Power
SkyView displays require between 10 and 30 volts DC for operation. Approximate current consumption of a SkyView system at 12 and 24 volts DC is 3.5 amps and 1.8 amps, respectively. SkyView’s robust power protection allows it to be powered on during engine start.
The current draw figures for the display provided do not include Autopilot servo, COM radio, SV-ADSB-470, or transponder power draw as they receive power directly from the aircraft and not from SkyView. Be sure to include these power requirements when considering your overall power budget.
Each SkyView display supports an optional external SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery. See the SV- BAT-320 section for more information about backup battery behavior and operation.
SkyView Network
Modules such as the SV-ADAHRS-200/201 (flight instruments), SV-EMS-220/221 (engine instruments), SV-ARINC-429 (for communication with IFR GPS/NAV/COM devices), SV-COM-C25 (COM Radio), SV-KNOB-PANEL, SV-AP-PANEL and Autopilot servos use Dynon’s redundant
SkyView Network to communicate with SkyView’s displays.
SkyView Network is designed to continue to work properly in the event of wiring or module faults by utilizing multiple power pathways and a redundant data network. In fact, SkyView has the ability to annunciate wiring issues as they are discovered, often while preserving full system

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.
USB
SkyView displays have three USB ports. Two are built into the back of the display and one is wired into the SkyView Display Harness for convenience. USB ports are used for firmware updates and backups, database updates, and configuration file uploads and downloads. Each SkyView display ships with a USB flash drive for use in these instances. The USB ports are also used for Procedure Chart, Airport Diagram and en-route chart database storage. This requires a larger USB flash drive than SkyView’s included flash drive which must remain plugged into the unit during use. The SkyView Video Input Adapter also plugs into the USB port, and must be plugged into the display before power on and remain plugged in for the full flight to view video on the connected display. Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide for instructions on how to use the USB ports for the operations mentioned above.
Display
The SV-D700 display is a 7-inch, 800 by 480 pixel, 1200+ nit TFT active matrix LCD screen. The SV-D1000 display is a 10.2-inch, 1024 by 600 pixel, 1350+ nit TFT active matrix LCD screen. The SV-D1000T display is a 10.2-inch, 1024 by 600 pixel, 1350+ nit TFT active matrix capacitive multi-touch LCD screen. SkyView displays utilize LED backlighting technology for increased lifespan, more uniform brightness, superior dimmability, and reduced power consumption.
Displays are capable of automatic screen backlight level management. Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide for instructions on how to enable this feature.
Joysticks and Buttons
User interaction takes place via the two joysticks and eight buttons along the bottom of the display’s bezel.
Data Logging
SkyView displays with Software version 5.1 or higher have the ability to record and store flight information in two logs for export by the user. The User Data Log recording rate can be configured by the user in the SkyView Setup Menu. For more information on configuration, retrieval, and analysis see the SkyView System Installation Guide.

SV-ADAHRS-20X
This guide uses SV-ADAHRS-20X to refer to both the SV-ADAHRS-200 and the SV- ADAHRS-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 SV- ADAHRS-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. All sensors are solid state–that is, there are no moving parts. These sensors include accelerometers, which measure forces in all three directions; rotational rate sensors, which sense rotation about all three axes; pressure transducers for measuring air data; and magnetometers on all three axes for measuring magnetic heading. These sensors form the core of Dynon’s Air Data Attitude and Heading Reference System (ADAHRS).
Table 2 describes which inputs and sensors are used within the ADAHRS module to generate the different displayed instruments.

Table 2–Instruments and Sensors (*GPS only used when airspeed from pitot and static is not available)
Attitude Calculation
The SkyView artificial horizon display (attitude) is generated via a complex algorithm using a multitude of sensors as described in Table 2. In normal operation SkyView uses airspeed to

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. The ADAHRS must be installed correctly, calibrated, and operating well in all attitudes. However, it is important to note that magnetic heading is not used to aid attitude determination under any circumstance.
SV-EMS-22X
The engine gauges on your SkyView Engine Page are generated from the data acquired by the SV-EMS-22X Engine Monitoring module and its sensors. This module supports popular four and six-cylinder engine installations and can measure a variety of engine and environmental parameters such as RPM, manifold pressure, oil temperature and pressure, exhaust gas temperature (EGT), cylinder head temperature (CHT), fuel levels for multiple tanks, voltage, current, fuel pressure, fuel flow, carburetor air temperature, coolant pressure and temperature, flap and trim potentiometers, external contacts, and general purpose temperature sensors. Two SV-EMS-22X modules can be installed to monitor either extra CHT/EGTs for large engines or dual engines.
SV-GPS-250
The SV-GPS-250 GPS Receiver module is an optional externally mounted 5 Hz WAAS enabled GPS receiver designed specifically for use with SkyView. It supplies GPS data in NMEA format and automatically sets the time on SkyView.
The SV-GPS-250’s WAAS capability does not allow it to be used as a primary navigation source in an IFR environment where a TSO’d WAAS GPS may be required. It does mean that it utilizes the WAAS GPS satellite to improve its positional accuracy compared to a non-WAAS enabled GPS.
SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery
The SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery is an optional backup battery for use with SkyView. It can power a typical SkyView display and most of its connected modules for at least 60 minutes in the event of failure of the aircraft electrical system.
Autopilot Servos
SV32, SV42, and SV52 servos enable SkyView to operate as an autopilot.

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.
Screen Synchronization
If you have multiple SkyView displays in your aircraft, the system will synchronize important information between them. Actions such as setting baro, bugs, engaging the autopilot, or acknowledging warnings only need to be performed on one display (or control panel) to be reflected across the system.
Some settings such as screen layout and map range level are not synchronized on purpose. Firmware sensor configuration file (.sfg) updates must also be done to each screen individually. Navigation and obstacle databases may or may not synchronize, depending on whether the displays are connected together via Ethernet. Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide for more information on this topic.
If you are using two EMS modules to monitor dual engines, the engine page layouts and enginespecific timers like the Hobbs and Tach time, as well as engine alerts, are not synchronized between multiple displays. Additionally, fuel computer computations may or may not be combined between displays depending on system configuration. See the SkyView System Installation Guide for additional details on this topic.
Display Bezel Layout
Figure 1 illustrates the front of an SV-D1000 display and its important parts.

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. Reference the How to Configure the Top Bar Section of this guide for details on how to configure the Top Bar.
The screen shows PFD, Engine, and Moving Map data, configuration information, and system alerts. Its layout is user configurable. See the Screen Layout Configuration Section for specific instructions on how to configure the layout of your screen.
Joystick and button labels are also on the screen as seen in Figure 1. Joystick and button functionality is contextual based on what is onscreen and these labels show the user the current function. For example, the (MAP) label above joystick #2 in Figure 1 shows that manipulating that joystick will affect what the user can see on the Moving Map Page.
The set of button labels displayed immediately after the display turns on is referred to as the Main Menu.
Each SkyView display has an integrated light-detecting sensor in the front bezel. This light sensor can be used for automatic backlight level management. Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide for instructions on how to configure the display for automatic backlight level management.

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. If there is no label, there is no function. The figure below shows an example button label.
Figure 3–Example Button Label
When you press the softkey button (or tap its label on SkyView Touch) momentarily, its action is invoked.
Button labels are called out in all capital letters such as BACK, EXIT, FINISH, and CLEAR. This guide directs users to press a button by using its label. For example, when this guide asks you to press FINISH, it is asking you to press the button with the FINISH 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.
In this example, you first adjust the “-” or “+” character, move the joystick right, then adjust the one hundreds digit, and so forth. Once you have adjusted the value appropriately, press ACCEPT or move the joystick to the right again.
At times, the next item in the menu path in this guide may be a joystick selection OR a button push—the correct choice will be apparent.
Menu Navigation
All menu navigation in this guide starts at the In Flight Setup Menu.
After the display turns on, you will see a screen similar to the one in Figure 1. This guide refers to the label bar at the bottom of the screen as the Main Menu.
Throughout this guide, the “>” character is used to indicate a sequence of menu selections or other actions you would take as you navigate the menu system. Menu selections which are followed by “…” indicate full-screen wizard interfaces which guide you through the appropriate steps. These wizard interfaces are not described in detail in this guide, as the on-screen instructions provide adequate information.
SkyView menus follow this structure: SETUP MENU > MENU > ... > MENU > PAGE or WIZARD. The setup menus (In Flight Setup or Setup) are the root of most menu navigation. Each nested menu is more specific than the previous one and there is no set limit for the number of nested menus before reaching a page. A page or wizard is at the end of the chain and it is where the user can perform a specific action such as create a system software backup, configure a SkyView network, or set up the layout of the onscreen engine gauges. Wizards employ easy-to- follow onscreen instructions.
For example, SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > MEASUREMENT UNITS > BAROMETER indicates entering the SETUP MENU, then selecting SYSTEM SETUP, then selecting MEASUREMENT UNITS, and then entering the BAROMETER Menu to select INHG, MBAR, or MMHG.
Table 3 is a summary of menu navigation.
