not shown on the map.
When enabled, terrain advisories are suppressed prior to takeoff and are enabled approximately

• Warning alerts are for conditions that require immediate flight crew awareness and
immediate flight crew response.
• Caution alerts are for conditions that require immediate flight crew awareness and
subsequent flight crew response.
• Messages are for conditions that require flight crew awareness and may require
subsequent flight crew response.
Whenever a new alert or message is generated, the message notification indicator (also the soft
key label) will flash to provide a visual indication that there are unviewed messages or alerts that
have not yet been seen and acknowledged. In addition, a corresponding voice aural will
annunciate. The annunciation is typically the spoken word “WARNING”, or “CAUTION” if the
alert is a warning or caution.
Pressing Button #8 will open the Message Window. The message window provides alerts in the
form of a written message correlating with each active alert. After Button 8 is pressed, the
messages present in the window are considered acknowledged and the message notification
indicator will stop flashing. The message notification indicator will remain highlighted to indicate
whether a message, caution, or warning condition exists.
The appearance of messages within the Message Notification Area is different when they are
first activated and when they become acknowledged. The difference between un-acknowledged
and acknowledged messages are shown in Figure 22.

A Red X will be displayed over the widget on the bottom of the SkyView HDX Display whenever
the following occur:
• Wiring faults
• Switches in the circuitry (if installed) fail in the incorrect position
• A sensor fails
To remove the Red X:
1. Check wiring and repair as required. Some sensors require 5 volts of power from EMS
C37P18 (pin 18, white/red wire) to operate.
2. Inspect and test position switches, if installed in the circuitry, and replace as required.
If a sensor fails and needs to be replaced, contact Dynon technical support. Always have a
properly certified mechanic or facility remove unit.

• Inspect the SkyView HDX system for security of attachment,
which includes visual inspection of mounting trays and other
supporting structures that attach the components to the
airplane.
• Inspect for signs of corrosion.
• Inspect all switches, knobs, panels, and buttons for damage.
• Inspect condition of wiring, shield terminations, routing and
attachment/clamping, along with any airplane penetration
points.
• SkyView HDX Display or EFIS-D10A Standby Display:
Visually inspect display fans, bezel, and buttons for dust, dirt,
or obstructions. Clean as needed (see above).
• SkyView HDX System Backup Battery: Inspect backup battery
for damage.
• GPS Antenna/Receiver: Visually inspect GPS unit for damage
and wear. GPS wiring should be checked for integrity, damage,
chafing, or excessive wear. The installation should be
inspected for cracks, and loose, or damaged fasteners.
• OAT Probe: Visually inspect OAT probe for damage and wear.
The OAT wiring should be checked for integrity, damage,
chafing, or excessive wear. The installation should be
inspected for cracks in the fuselage, and loose, or damaged
fasteners.
• AoA Probe: The the AoA probe should be visually inspected for
damage and wear. The AoA pneumatic tubing should be
checked for integrity, damage, chafing, or excessive wear. The
installation should be inspected for cracks in the fuselage, and
loose, or damaged fasteners.
• Autopilot Components: Inspect all autopilot servos, servo
brackets and cables. Make sure there is no damage or wear.
Cables are within tension and cable clamp bolts are torqued
within tolerance.

HDX Display must be updated individually.
30) Prior to updating the software, all SkyView HDX network devices must be powered
on and online. If all previously configured SkyView HDX network devices are not
detected, a warning screen will appear. The most common cause for this error is the
autopilot servos are powered off (AP switch not ON). As soon as the offline module(s)
resume communicating with SkyView HDX Display, the software update will
automatically proceed. (SkyView HDX network devices do not include the ADS-B IN
Receiver, Transponder, or GPS – those devices are connected via serial ports).

normal configuration: SETUP MENU > TRANSPONDER SETUP > AUTO ALT/GND

The on-ground compass calibration requires pointing the airplane in four (4) directions and
acquiring data at each direction. An accurate method of aligning the airplane with magnetic north,
east, south, and west, such as an airport’s compass rose, is required.
During the compass calibration, the airplane’s configuration and major systems should be in a
state that resembles flight conditions (i.e. the aircraft’s pitch attitude matches SkyView HDX’s
attitude depiction and all electronic devices used in flight should be on).
9.10.1 On-ground Compass Calibration
1. Turn on SkyView HDX system and allow it to warm up for a minimum of 5 minutes.
2. Using a compass rose, move aircraft into position so that it is convenient to orient it in
four (4) cardinal directions.
35) The in-flight compass calibration should be conducted on a clear, VFR day. Before
commencing the compass calibration, ensure that you have adequate altitude, clear
weather, no traffic, no obstructions in the flight path, great visibility, and no airspace
conflicts. It is recommended that clearing turns be performed before executing each
procedure.
36) It is recommended that you bring someone along for the in-flight compass calibration
procedure. At times the pilot’s attention will be divided between reading
documentation, configuring the SkyView HDX Display, and maintaining situational
awareness.
37) Confine the flying for the in-flight compass calibration to a specific area to minimize
variations in the earth’s magnetic field during the calibration process (i.e. don’t
combine the in-flight compass calibration with a cross-country flight).
38) The best compass performance will be achieved by performing the in-flight compass
calibration AFTER the on-ground compass calibration has been performed.
