Introduction
SkyView HDX System Installation Manual -Revision E 1-1
1 Introduction
Upon receipt of your airplane’s LRUs, mouting brackets, cable harnesses, and any other
accessories, visually inspect shipping containers and (after unpacking) all components
for evidence of damage that may have occurred during shipping. If damage has occured,
contact Dynon Support.
This manual provides information about the mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic
installation and configuration of the following SkyView major system components into
aircraft listed in STC SA02594SE for approved models listed in AML SA02594SE_AML.
Autopilot installation and SkyView screen configurations are model(s) specific and are
documented in a separate documents. Not all functionality is approved for all models. The
AML specifies what aspects of the SkyView HDX System, which includes the D10A, can
be installed into a particular model of airplane.
In addition to the information provided in this installation manual, it is the installer’s
responsibility to conform to industry standards, as applicable.
This manual deals with setting up installation-dependent software options. If you have not
purchased all of the components mentioned above, you only need to read through the
sections of this manual relevant to your setup.
When a SkyView system is connected to products not manufactured or provided by
Dynon Avionics (such as NAV radios and GPS receivers), it is often necessary to refer to
those product’s technical/installation manuals/guides to configure their settings and their
wiring to be compatible with your SkyView system. While this manual provides some
information about some popular products not manufactured by Dynon Avionics, the
information provided in this manual is not comprehensive. For any third-party products
that are intend to be connect to the SkyView system, the installer should obtain the full
technical/installation manuals/guides available, for reference.
Dynon Avionics’ products incorporate a variety of precise, sensitive electronics. SkyView
products do not contain any field/user-serviceable parts such as fuses. Units found to
have been taken apart may not be eligible for repair under warranty. Additionally, once a
Dynon Avionics unit has been opened, it is not considered airworthy and must be serviced
at the factory.
1.1 Product Registration
Please take a moment to register your Dynon Avionics SkyView HDX system at
http://register.dynonavionics.com. Registering your product with Dynon Avionics ensures
that your contact information is up-to-date. This helps verify product ownership, can
expedite warranty claims, and allows us to notify you in the event a Service Bulletin is
published for your product. You can also sign up to receive other Dynon Avionics news
and product announcements. Dynon Avionics will not share your contact information with
third parties or send you announcements without your explicit consent.

1.2 Printing this Manual
To reduce waste and confusion resulting from outdated information in print, Dynon
Avionics does not provide this manual in printed form. We recommend that you download
the most recent version and print out sections as necessary for your build. If you prefer
to print out the entire manual, rather than printing it out on a home printer (typically, with
relatively expensive inkjet printing) we recommend that you take the PDF file of this
manual to be printed at a large office supply retailer that provides printing services. The
statement on the cover of this manual: 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 for 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 manual’s
PDF file for easy reference.
In the electronic (.PDF) version of this manual, page and section references in the Table
of Contents, and elsewhere, act as hyperlinks, taking you to the relevant location in the
manual.
This icon denotes information that merits special attention.
This icon denotes a helpful installation tip.
If your aircraft was built using components not provided by Dynon Avionics (such as
harnesses), some information provided in this manual may not be applicable. For
example, some manufacturers prefer to build harnesses that do not adhere to the wire
color codes of harnesses manufactured by Dynon Avionics. Some configuration menus
described in this manual may not be accessible, as a manufacturer may have restricted
access to certain menus.
1.3 Installation Compliance
Airplanes identified on the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Approved Model List
(AML) have been determined to meet a minimum required configuration for applicability
of the STC. However, as some airplanes may have been modified over the years, it may
be difficult to use the information in this manual to completely substantiate the installation
in compliance with the STC. It is the installer's responsibility to make the final
determination of applicability for each individual aircraft.
Prior to completing theinstallation, and before returning the aircraftto service, the installer
must complete and submit a completed FAA form 337 "Major Repair and Alteration
Airframe, Powerplant, Propeller, or Appliance" to the appropriate FAA Flight Standards
District Office. The form should describe the SkyView installation and the equipment and

systems to which the Skyview systems interface, along with the appropriately approved
or acceptable data demonstrating compliance.
Refer to AC 43.9-1E for insructions on completing an FAA form 337.
1.4 Installation Record
It is the responsibility of the mechanic or facility performing the installation to record where
each component of the SkyView system has been installed in the airplane. This record
should be entered into airplane’s permanent record. Dynon Avionics provides a document
template (103777-000 SkyView HDX System Equipment Installation Record) to complete
the record.
