The SkyView System is a powerful and flexible avionics platform, and features will be added for years to come. This table shows which features already exist, and which are being developed or planned.
SkyView Schedule: The following is our current schedule for release of SkyView enhancements over the next half year. We are working on many features in parallel, and every item requires extensive testing before we release it. So this schedule is not a guarantee of the release date of any specific feature. Please accept it as our best knowledge at this time, and we will endeavor to keep it updated and accurate.
