SkyView Introduction

SkyView System

SkyView Overview:  Experimental and LSA pilots know that they have the most technologically advanced GA aircraft flying.  SkyView continues that tradition with the next generation of glass panels, offering redundant networks and systems, incredibly bright screens, design flexibility, and future upgradability unsurpassed by anything else flying.

Designing Your SkyView System:  To help you decide what System components are required for your airplane, please see the Planning your SkyView System page.

Features and Schedule :  Please see our Current & Future Features List for a detailed list of SkyView features. The SkyView System currently includes the SkyView 7" & 10" Displays, ADAHRS Module, EMS Module, GPS Receiver/Antenna Puck, Backup Battery, and Synthetic Vision and Top-Down Terrain. A subsequent product launch (date unknown) will include our moving map navigation software option, autopilot, and ARINC 429 converter module. And of course, we will be releasing many other SkyView modules and software features that continue to build on this powerful platform for years to come (e.g., advanced autopilot, COM radio, intercom, transponder, traffic, weather, etc.).

Trade-ins:  We appreciate our customer’s return business, and are offering credit to customers upgrading their Dynon systems. Trade in your Dynon D10/D100 Series EFIS and/or EMS and we will credit 1/2 the list price towards the purchase of a new SkyView system. Please see our SkyView Rebate Page for complete details. 

SkyView Network

The SkyView System consists of the following components:

Advanced Screens:  Very bright, high-resolution screens driven by advanced graphic processors create highly visible and readable displays.  Screen resolutions are 1024x600 for the SV-D1000 10” and 800x480 for the SV-D700 7”.  Brightness is over 1350 nits for the 10” display and 1200 nits for the 7” display. Displays are fully dimmable for night flight. A wiring harness included with each display makes for easy connections between displays and modules.

Integrated User Interface:  Two multi-position joysticks (left, right, up, down, diagonal, push, and rotary) offer easy and intuitive control of your SkyView displays.  EFIS, EMS, Autopilot, Moving Map, 3-D Terrain/Synthetic Vision, and menu structures are all available with less than three button presses.  Future functionality will include external video display, weather data, traffic, and complete COM radio, NAV radio, and transponder control.

Worldwide Terrain Data:  SkyView Displays are shipped with a US and South American terrain database installed. Every other region of the world can be download from our Worldwide Terrain Data page. 

SkyView Network:  Every SkyView system display and module is connected by two independent power and data buses.

System Battery Backup:  A system backup battery will provide over an hour of backup power to a Display and Modules. Each Display requires its own Backup Battery for redundancy.

Flexible User Interface:  The default screen setups are logical and functional, so you can start flying with a minimum of setup time.  But as you determine your preferences and screen layouts, the displayed data can be configured in ways that work best for you.

Engine Module:  The SV-EMS-220 can be mounted closer to the engine, allowing easier wire routing. Note: the SV-EMS-220 cannot be mounted on the engine side of the firewall.

ADAHRS Module:
  The SV-ADAHRS-200 is a complete MEMS-based attitude reference and air data computer, integrated with a digital compass.  This allows easier mounting and higher accuracy calibration between the system components.  One or more SV-ADAHRS-201 Modules can be added to a SkyView System for redundancy.

GPS Receiver:  The SV-GPS-250 connects to the system backup battery for greater reliability.  Other NMEA compatible GPS receivers may also be connected to the SkyView system and used in lieu of the SV-GPS-250.

Compatibility:  Your existing Dynon engine monitor sensors and harness will work with the new SV-EMS-220 Engine Module.  Your existing Dynon Servos will work with the SkyView system, including a redundant network connection.  Your existing Dynon pitot probes will also work with the SkyView system.

USB Updates:  Convenient program and data updates via USB memory stick.
