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 a dozen types of aircraft.

U
April 2015
New: Support for SV-MAG-236 Remote Magnetometer for SkyView.
New: Transponder firmware update to version 2.6 to support ADS-B+
format from capable Garmin IFR navigators. Using ADS-B+ format is a
requirement for having an FAA ADS-B rule compliant installation in
2020 and beyond. Note that the transponder firmware update must be
manually initiated and does not happen automatically during a SkyView
software update.
New: Tablet connectivity with PocketFMS EasyVFR. PocketFMS
customers can send and receive flight plans from their devices and
SkyView over Wi-Fi.
Improved: SkyView now remembers the last two hours of ADS-B
weather and all active/upcoming TFRs after when SkyView is power
cycled. This gives the pilot access to weather and TFR information that
is still valid when SkyView is turned on and acquires time via GPS lock.
Updated: US Stadium TFRs now provided via database file after the
ADS-B FIS-B service ceased transmitting them.
Fixed: User data logs' time stamps were off by one day.
Fixed: SkyView did not recognize more than 20 GPX files on a USB
memory stick.
Fixed: Permanent Disney TFR shown as upcoming instead of active.
Fixed: Filtering for 912iS fuel pressure improved. For best results also
update to the latest engine sensor definitions.

available in English at this time.
New: A new warning message is displayed if the transponder detects an
anomaly.
New: A new message is displayed if the D1000 or D700 detects a
potential anomaly.
Improved: Chart data formats have changed resulting in improved
rendering time and better enroute chart graphics. The correct format
must be selected in the Seattle Avionics loader software. In addition,
one may notice that the map layer buttons might change location
and/or names when displaying Seattle Avionics charts.
Improved: Synthetic vision can highlight terrain that is immediately a
threat.
Improved: Added new widgets to support Rotax 912iS throttle position
and ECO mode.

Introduction
SkyView Classic Pilot’s User Guide – Revision Z
1-1
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. Additionally, we encourage you to spend time on the ground
familiarizing yourself with the operation of the system. While first learning to use the system in
the air, we recommend you have a backup pilot with you in the aircraft. Finally, we encourage
you to keep this guide in the aircraft with you at all times. This document is designed to give
you quick access to information that might be needed in flight. In a flying situation, it is the
pilot’s responsibility to use the system and the guide prudently.
Warning
Dynon Avionics’products incorporate a variety of precise, sensitive electronics. SkyView
products do not contain any field/user-serviceable parts. Units found to have been taken apart
may not be eligible for repair under warranty. Additionally, once a Dynon Avionics unit is
opened up, it is not considered airworthy and must be serviced at the factory.
Video and In-person Training
This guide is intended to familiarize a new SkyView pilot with the basics of operating a SkyView
system. No printed (or electronic) guide, such as this, can substitute for “seeing it in action,”
and thus Dynon Avionics provides an online collection of instructional videos; including a
complete SkyView operations course - see www.dynonavionics.com/videos. These videos help
new owners quickly learn the basics so they can safely start flying with the system. Also, current
SkyView owners can gain in-depth knowledge of many of the more advanced or complex
features.
Dynon Avionics provides hands-on training classes to help you in your transition to new
SkyView system. These are typically half-day courses, sitting in front of live SkyView displays
combined with in-depth instruction on how to operate SkyView. Visit our training page at
www.dynonavionics.com/training for details on upcoming classes.

Introduction
SkyView Classic Pilot’s User Guide – Revision Z 1-2
About this Guide
This guide helps you configure and get acquainted with SkyView Classic‘s many functions and
facilitates quick access to vital information. If you have a SkyView SE, or SkyView HDX system,
this is not the correct guide for those products –each has its own dedicated user’s guide
available at docs.dynonavionics.com. For detailed technical and installation information, refer
to the Installation Guide, also available at docs.dynonavionics.com.
This guide is revised, at a minimum, several times per year, usually coinciding with the release
of a new version of SkyView software, or the introduction of new SkyView-related products
from Dynon Avionics or partner companies. This revision reflects the features available as part
of the software version stated on the cover page. If your SkyView Classic system currently has
an earlier software version, some features may not be available for use on your SkyView system
(until you update its software).
Printing This Guide
To reduce waste and confusion resulting from outdated information in print, Dynon Avionics no
longer provides this guide in printed form. The latest, most up-to-date, most complete version
of this guide (and all Dynon Avionics documentation) is always available at
docs.dynonavionics.com. Rather than printing this guide on a home printer (typically, with
relatively expensive inkjet printing) we recommend that you take the PDF file of this guide to be
printed at a large office supply retailer that provides printing services. The statement on the
cover of this guide: Permission to print this manual is granted to third parties. should be
sufficient permission to do so.
It is also handy to have the electronic version on your tablet computer as reference, as you can
perform keyword searches, and the electronic version includes figures and diagrams that
contain important color information. We have found that the free “iBooks” application that can
be installed on Apple iPad tablet computers can import this guide’s PDF file for easy reference.
In the electronic (.PDF) version of this guide, page and section references in the Table of
Contents and elsewhere act as hyperlinks, taking you to the relevant location in the guide. The
latest electronic version (.PDF) of this guide may be downloaded from our website at
docs.dynonavionics.com.
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
Avionics’ internet sites:
•forum.dynonavionics.com –Dynon Avionics’ Online Customer Forum is a resource for
Dynon Avionics customers to discuss installation and operational issues relating to
Dynon Avionics products. The Forum is especially useful for pilots with uncommon
aircraft or unusual installation issues. For customers that cannot call Dynon Technical
Support during our normal business hours, the Forum is a convenient way to interact
with Dynon Avionics Technical Support. The Forum allows online sharing of wiring
diagrams, photos, and other types of electronic files.
