3 SkyView HDX System Overview
A Skyview HDX System is an integrated Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) that
aggregates air, engine, traffic, and navigation information for display to the pilot. The information
is presented on a primary SkyView HDX display, which is an LCD touchscreen with mechanical
knobs and buttons. A primary SkyView HDX display always presents a Primary Flight Display
(PFD). It can also present a Moving Map and Engine Monitoring System (EMS) information.
Subsystems, such as an Autopilot system also access this data to perform their functions. A
SkyView HDX display also presents voice aural annunciations and text messages that alert the
pilot to exceptional conditions, such as departures from desired altitudes or exceeding engine
parameter limits.
When an optional secondary SkyView HDX display is installed, the Skyview HDX System is
referred to as Multi-functional Display (MFD) system. An MFD can present any combination of
PFD, Moving Map, or EMS information in various layouts on the display screen. An MFD can
also function as a backup display should the primary display fail.
Air data and airplane motion information is collected by the Air Data Attitude Heading Reference
System (ADAHRS) module. Engine, fuel, and electrical system information is collected by the
EMS module. Navigation information is provided by a GPS antenna/receiver, as well as
integrated third-party NAV devices. Traffic data is provided by an Automatic Dependent
Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) IN receiver. ADS-B OUT capability is provided by the NAV
source and a transponder. The GPS antenna/receiver, ADS-B IN receiver, and transponder
connect to the SkyView HDX System using RS-232 serial communications. All serial ports have
configurable baud rates and data formats for use as general-purpose inputs and outputs.
A SkyView HDX display communicates with SkyView HDX System components via a proprietary
network. The SkyView HDX Network is a modern, multidrop serial network. SkyView HDX
Network wiring is electrically common between all SkyView HDX System components.
Connections to the SkyView HDX Network are made with unique network cables, hubs, splitters,
and connectors on the components. SkyView HDX System components include the ADAHRS
module, remote magnetometer, EMS module, Aeronautical Radio Incorporated (ARINC) 429
module, Autopilot servos, and accompanying control panels and buttons.
See Figure 1 and Figure 2 for a graphical representation of a SkyView HDX System.

Figure 3 EFIS-D10A Standby Display

4 Functional Description and Operation
This section provides an overview of the major functions and operation of a SkyView HDX
System.
4.1 SkyView HDX Displays

SkyView HDX displays are multi-functional, high-definition, LCD color displays that present
integrated Primary Flight Information (PFI), NAV/GPS information, Moving Map, COM radio
information and control, Transponder information and control, ADS-B IN and OUT, Engine
Monitoring, and Autopilot information and control.
SkyView HDX displays are available in two sizes:
• the SV-HDX1100 is a 10.1-inch, 1280 x 800-pixel display,
• the SV-HDX800 is a 7.1-inch, 1280 x 800-pixel display.
The displays utilize backlighting technology for increased lifespan, more uniform brightness,
superior dimmability, and reduced power consumption. Up to three SkyView HDX displays, in
any combination of the two sizes, can be installed in the airplane’s instrument panels.
Figure 4 shows the front of a 10" display (SV-HDX1100) and its important parts. (The figure is
also applicable for the SV-HDX800.)
Figure 4: SkyView HDX Display (SV-HDX1100 shown)

The structure surrounding the lighted LCD screen is referred to as the bezel. All tactile controls
for the system are located on the tilted shelf at the bottom of the bezel. Buttons, knobs, and an
integrated light sensor are located on the bezel. User interaction takes place via two knobs with
integrated buttons, eight buttons along the bottom of the bezel, and via tactile pressing on the
screen itself. The light sensor is used for automatic screen brightness control.

SkyView HDX display contains three main screen regions, described from top to bottom:
• The Top Bar (i.e., Info Bar) is configurable and presents important airplane information,
including clock time or a timer (when running), Autopilot status, Backup Battery status,
COM radio frequency, and Transponder status.
• The main portion of the screen is configurable and presents the PFD, Moving Map, and
EMS data, configuration information, menu and feature control pages, and many system
messages.
• The Main Menu (i.e., Bottom Bar) is displayed once the system is fully powered-on.
It presents knob and button labels in a menu arrangement. Knob and button
functionality are contextually-based and determined by what is presented on the screen.
The labels show the user the current function.
All SkyView HDX displays have touchscreen functionality on the PFD, Moving Map, and Info
Bar. Functions are selected and values adjusted by touching points on the screen. For example,
touching the HSI Source Selector (#9 in Figure 5) allows a different source to be selected to
present the HSI.
Selectable configurations for screen layouts are selected by pressing the display softkey. This
allows the pilot to choose whether a display should show PFD, Moving Map, or EMS information,
or a combination thereof.
Figure 5: SkyView HDX Display Touch Controls

4.2 Display Designations and Content
A SkyView HDX display can present many types and combinations of information. The display
designated as the primary display will always present Primary Content. The primary display can
also be configured to present Optional Content. Secondary displays can be configured to present
any type of information.
Primary Content:
• PFD
Optional Content:
• Moving Map display
• Engine Monitoring System (EMS) display
Information can be presented in 100% page layouts, 50% page layouts, and a bottom band
layout. See Figure 12 for PFD configured for 100% page layout; see Figure 6 for PFD, Moving
Map, and EMS configured for 50% page layout with bottom band.
Figure 6: Display Configured for 50% Page Layout with Bottom Band.

4.3 Buttons and Knobs
The buttons and knobs on a SkyView HDX display are used for various functions, including
powering the unit ON and OFF, accessing and navigating menus, selecting/activating features,
and adjusting values.
Buttons generally require a single action (i.e., momentarily press). Pressing the button will
provide a distinct tactile click response to the pilot. The click occurs when the button is fully
pressed, but the action does not occur until the button is released. When a button is pressed in
this manner, a function or action denoted by the label above the button is invoked. Button
labels are contextual and may change dependent on menus and feature control pages the
pilot selects.
A button has a function if a label displays above it. If there is no label, then no function is
available. Some buttons have additional behavior when the button is pressed and held down for
two seconds. An example is Button #1. When you press-and-hold Button #1, the SkyView HDX
display will power ON/OFF. Additional press-and-hold behaviors for other buttons are described
in the SkyView HDX Airplane Flight Manual Supplement document.
Knobs can be rotated in both directions and pushed. The current knob function is indicated by
the label above the knob. Knob function is contextual and can change when the contents of the
screen is changed by the pilot.
Figure 7: Knob Rotation and Button Push Actions

On some screen pages with both vertical lists and a horizontal group of tabs, one or both knobs
can exhibit a push and rotate behavior which controls horizontal scrolling of the cursor across
rows and columns on some menus.

4.4 Function Control Menu
A SkyView HDX display has a Function Control Menu (i.e. MENU) for controlling various system
functions (see Figure 8). To access the MENU, press Button #7. The icons in MENU are tactile
and touching them opens the Control Page for the function. For example, touching the COM
RADIO icon opens its Control Page (see Figure 9). There are also shortcut icons on the Info Bar
for Autopilot, COM Radio, and Transponder functions. Information about using the function
controls are available in the SkyView HDX Airplane Flight Manual Supplement document.
Figure 8: Function Control Menu (MENU)

Figure 9: COM RADIO Control Menu

4.5 Setup Menus
Setup Menu and In-Flight Setup Menu are used for controlling the overall configuration,
calibration, and behavior of a SkyView HDX System. Information about configuring and
calibrating a SkyView HDX System is available in the SkyView HDX System General Installation
Manual document.
To enter the Setup Menus, press-and-hold Buttons #7 and #8 simultaneously. If the airplane is
grounded and stationary, the entire display changes to present the SETUP MENU (see Figure
10). While the SETUP MENU screen is displayed, the regular display is not available to the pilot.
If the airplane is in flight or taxiing, the display changes to a 50% page layout with the Primary
Flight Display (PFD) on the left and IN FLIGHT SETUP MENU on the right (see Figure 11). Only
a select few configuration and calibration options are available from this menu.

present the Wind Indicator on a SkyView HDX display.
5.8 Navigation Source Indicator

The selected (current) navigation source appears on the right side of the PDF, just below the
Altitude Indicator (see Figure 12). The pilot can toggle through configured NAV sources, such
as the internal VFR Navigator or third-party NAV devices, using the touch screen. In the
Navigation Source Indicator, data provided by radio is green and data provided by a GPS is
magenta.
5.9 Outside Air Temperature Indicator

The Outside Air Temperature (OAT) indicator appears on the right side of the PFD, just below
the Vertical Speed Indicator (see Figure 12). Data from the ADAHRS module or Remote
Magnetometer (via the OAT sensor) are used to present the OAT Indicator and Density Altitude
(DA) on the Altitude Indicator on a SkyView HDX display.
5.10 Auxiliary Functions

5.10.1 Clock
Current time (configurable between UTC and local) is presented in Top Bar (Info Bar).
5.10.2 G–Meter
The G–Meter presents the pilot with vertical acceleration information. It can be configured to
display in place of the Compass Rose situationally (i.e., when a specified G value is reached) or
continually. Numerical heading information is still presented when the G–Meter is displayed.
5.10.3 Traffic Indicators
A SkyView HDX display uses data from the ADS-B IN Receiver to present traffic indicators on
the PFD and Moving Map.
5.10.4 Angle of Attack
The SkyView HDX Display uses data from the ADAHRS module, which is connected to the AoA
Probe, to produce audible "beeps" as the airplane approaches a stall.

5.11 Synthetic Vision
A SkyView HDX display provides a synthetic vision representation of the local terrain and
obstacles. This display is for advisory purposes only and must not be used as the sole means
of terrain and obstacle avoidance.
When enabled, terrain clearance advisories are provided based on the predicted path of the
airplane relative to the terrain database and the proximity of the aircraft to terrain.
The synthetic vision advisory is based both on altitude and on flight path. Terrain shown in Red
is an immediate threat to the airplane. The map advisory is based solely on GPS altitude.
• YELLOW terrain is between 100 and 1000 feet below airplane GPS altitude.
• RED terrain is above the airplane, or 100 feet or less below the airplane.
NOTE: Terrain advisories are provided any time they are enabled, even if topographical relief is
not shown on the map.
When enabled, terrain advisories are suppressed prior to takeoff and are enabled approximately
200 feet above the takeoff altitude.

5.12 Moving Map & VFR GPS Navigator
A SkyView HDX display uses navigation databases (i.e. terrain, aviation, obstacle, and base)
and GPS-derived airplane position data to present the Moving Map (see Figure 18) and
Navigation (see Figure 19) and Flight Planning (see Figure 20) functions. The Moving Map has
touchscreen functionality and can present airport, airspace, obstacles, and other available
aviation data. The Moving Map is for advisory purposes only and is not an IFR-approved
navigation source. The Navigation and Flight Planning functions help the pilot find airports or
navaids and navigate to a sequence of one or more waypoints.
Figure 18: SkyView HDX Moving Map in 50% Page Layout with Bottom Band

Figure 19: Navigation Info in Split-Screen (50%) Layout
Figure 20: Flight Plan in Split-Screen (50%) Layout

5.12.1 Navigation Databases and Charts
A SkyView HDX System should be kept updated with the latest available databases. Depending
on the database, these may be updated as frequently as every month. See the SkyView HDX
System General Installation Manual document for information about loading databases.
A SkyView HDX display can "geo-map" FAA Charts and present them on the Moving Map. See
the SkyView HDX System General Installation Manual document for information about loading
charts.
5.12.2 GPS Sources
To present the Moving Map and Navigation and Flight Planning functions, a SkyView HDX
display needs to be connected to a valid GPS source. The GPS source must be configured for
priority of use. If the primary GPS source (POS 1) fails, the SkyView HDX display will
automatically use the next available GPS source (POS 2) configured in the system. See the
SkyView HDX System General Installation Manual document for information about configuring
GPS sources.
5.12.3 Weather and Traffic
A SkyView HDX display uses data from an ADS-B IN Receiver to present weather and traffic
indicators on the Moving Map.

5.13 Warning, Caution, and Message Alerting System
The area directly above the rightmost button (Button #8) is the Message Notification Area (see
Figure 21). This area is reserved to notify the flight crew of various messages and alerts that the
SkyView HDX Display can present. All messages and alerts are categorized by severity into one
of three categories. These include advisory “messages”, “caution” alerts, and “warning” alerts.
The definition of messages and alerts are as follows:
• 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.
Figure 21: Message Notification Area Showing a Warning Notification
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.

6 System Components
This section provides an overview of SkyView HDX System Components.

The EFIS-D10A (see Figure 23) is a standby display, providing attitude, airspeed, and altimeter
indicators. It serves as a backup display to a SkyView HDX display. Only power and Pitot and
Static lines are connected to the EFIS-D10A. It has no other external components. If avionics
power is lost in flight, the EFIS-D10A has an internal backup battery that provides power for at
least 45 minutes. The EFIS-D10A flange-mounts to an instrument panel.
Figure 23: EFIS-D10A
6.2 SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery

If avionics power is lost in flight, a properly operating SV-BAT-320 backup battery (see Figure
24) can provide power to a SkyView HDX display and critical SkyView HDX System components,
including a GPS Antenna/Receiver for at least 45 minutes. An SV-BAT-320 can power up a
SkyView HDX display without external power, allowing engine parameter monitoring during
engine start. An SV-BAT-320 is automatically charged by the SkyView HDX display during flight.
One SV-BAT-320 is required for each SkyView HDX display in a SkyView HDX System.
Figure 24: SV-BAT-320

6.3 SV-ADAHRS-200 ADAHRS Module
ADAHRS is an acronym for Air Data Attitude Heading Reference System. The Primary Flight
Display (PFD) functions on a SkyView HDX display are generated using data from a group of
calibrated sensors built into an SV-ADAHRS-200 module (see Figure 25). All sensors are solid
state (i.e., there are no moving parts). These sensors include accelerometers, which measure
forces in all three directions; rotational rate sensors, which sense rotation about all three axes;
pressure transducers for measuring air data; and magnetometers on all three axes for measuring
magnetic heading.
Pitot, Static, and AoA lines are connected to an SV-ADAHRS-200 module. An OAT sensor can
also be connected to an SV-ADAHRS-200.
Figure 25: SV-ADAHRS-200

See Table 4 for a mapping of PFD functions and ADAHRS inputs and sensors.

6.4 SV-MAG-236 Remote Magnetometer
The SV-MAG-236 remote magnetometer (see Figure 26) is used in SkyView HDX Systems to
locate a magnetometer in an area free of magnetic disturbances. Although the SV-ADAHRS-200
module has an integrated magnetometer, it should be installed in an area free of magnetic
disturbances while remaining within proximity of the airplane's center of gravity. An OAT
sensor can be connected to an SV-MAG-236.
Figure 26: SV-MAG-236
6.5 OAT Sensor

An Outside Air Temperature (OAT) sensor (see Figure 27) is externally mounted where it can
accurately measure the air temperature. Only one OAT sensor is required in a SkyView HDX
System. An OAT sensor can be connected to either an SV-ADAHRS-200 module or an
SV-MAG-236 remote magnetometer.
Figure 27: SV-OAT-340

6.6 SV-GPS-2020 GPS Antenna/Receiver
The SV-GPS-2020 antenna/receiver (see Figure 28) is externally mounted and specifically
designed for use in a SkyView HDX System. It has a much higher refresh rate than common
third-party GPD devices, which ensures smooth Moving Map operation. The SV-GPS-2020 is
powered by the SkyView HDX display, and it will continue to provide position updates when the
SkyView HDX display is operating on backup battery power. An SV-GPS-2020 provides high-
integrity GPS (position and time) data to a SkyView HDX display that is required by the FAA
2020 ADS-B Out mandate (14 CFR § / FAR 91.227).
Figure 28: SV-GPS-2020

6.7 SV-XPNDR-261 Transponder

An SV-XPNDR-261 transponder (see Figure 29) is a Class 1, Technical Standard Ordered
(TSO), remote-mounted, Mode-S transponder. It receives TIS-B (U.S. only) and transmits
ADS-B Out. The FAA 2020 ADS-B Out Mandate (14 CFR § / FAR 91.227) requires a Class 1
transponder for flight in Class B or Class C airspaces. Up two SV-XPNDR-261 transponders can
be installed in a SkyView HDX System.

Figure 29: SV-XPNDR-261
6.8 SV-ADSB-472 ADS-B IN Receiver

The SV-ADSB-472 (see Figure 30) is a dual band ADS-B IN receiver. It receives weather and
traffic data via 978 MHz UAT (U.S. only) and 1090 MHz ES. In the U.S., it receives free weather
and airspace restriction information (FIS-B) from the FAA’s network of ADS-B ground stations.
FIS-B traffic information is also available if the SV-ADSB-472 is paired with an SV-XPNDR-261
transponder.
Figure 30: SV-ADSB-472

6.9 SV-EMS-220 EMS Module
The engine gauges presented on a SkyView HDX display are generated from data acquired by
the SV-EMS-220 Engine Monitoring System (EMS) module (Figure 31) and its connected
sensors and inputs. An SV-EMS-220 supports popular four- and six-cylinder engines in single-
and dual-engine airplanes. It can measure a wide variety of engine and environmental
parameters, including:
• Amperage • Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT)
• Voltage • Turbine Inlet Temperature (TIT)
• RPMs (Tachometer) • Fuel Pressure
• Oil Pressure • Fuel Flow
• Oil Temperature • Fuel Level
• Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) • Flap Position
• Carburetor Temperature • Landing Gear Position
• Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) • Pitot Heat
SkyView HDX can monitor more than one engine, provided a dedicated EMS module is installed
for each engine.
A SkyView HDX display uses configuration files to map sensors inputs to pins on the SV-EMS-
220 module and configure engine gauge styles, colors, and organizational layout of the Bottom
Band, 50% Page, and 100% Page. Dynon provides generic configuration files that generate
FAA-approved EMS setups; however, installers are required to configure engine gauge color
bands to correspond with the engine limitations that are published in the airplane's flight manual.
For information about configuring an EMS, see the SkyView HDX System General Installation
Manual document.
Figure 31: SV-EMS-220

6.9.1 Single-Engine Airplanes
There are three display options (Bottom Band, 50% Page, 100% Page) for viewing engine
monitoring information on the SkyView HDX Display. The Bottom Band provides the ability to
keep the engine display visible along with other required flight information all on one screen.
Generic configuration files are available to configure the Bottom Band display.
Figure 32: Typical Single Engine EMS in 50% Page Layout and Bottom Band
Figure 33: Typical Single Engine EMS Presentation in 100% Page Layout

6.9.2 Twin-Engine Airplanes
Due to limited space on the Bottom Bar and 50% Page displays, twin-engine airplanes will
require a dedicated display to present EMS information. This is because FAA regulations require
this information always be displayed to the pilot.
Loading the EMS configuration file for your airplane is required to configure the system for dual
EMS modules and the dedicated EMS display. This file will also include a 50% Page and Bottom
Bar displays intended to be used if the dedicated engine display fails. The EMS configuration
file configures the EMS display to appear similar to what is shown in Figure 34, Figure 35, and
Figure 36.
Figure 34: Typical Twin Engine EMS Presentation in 100% Page Layout

Figure 35: Typical Twin Engine EMS Presentation in 50% Page Layout
Figure 36: Typical Twin Engine EMS Presentation in Bottom Bar

6.10 SV-COM-X25/X83 COM Radio Control Panel & Transceiver
The SV-COM-X25 is an integrated VHF COM Radio consisting of two components: the SV-
COM-PANEL control panel (see Figure 37) and the SV-COM-T25/T8 transceiver (see Figure
38). The control panel is installed on an instrument panel, and the transceiver is installed
remotely in the airplane. The control panel is available in horizontal and vertical orientations. The
SV-COM-X25 operates at 118.000 MHz to 136.992 MHz with 25 kHz channel spacing. The
SV-COM-X83 operates at 118.000 MHz to 136.992 MHz with configurable 8.33 kHz or 25 kHz
channel spacing. Both COM radios provide button-touch and number-dial frequency tuning. Up
to two SV-COM-X25 COM radios can be installed in a SkyView HDX System. If two COM radios
are installed, only one can provide frequency information to the SkyView HDX display for
presentation on the Info Bar.
Figure 37: SV-COM-PANEL (Horizontal and Vertical Configurations)
Figure 38: SV-COM-T25/T8 Transceiver

6.11 SV-ARINC-429 ARINC 429 Connection Module
The SV-ARINC-429 module (see Figure 39) allows the SkyView HDX System to connect to
advanced third-party GPS Navigators.
Figure 39: SV-ARINC-429
6.12 SV-KNOB-PANEL Knob Control Panel

The Knob Control Panel is an optional control panel for a SkyView HDX system that provides
dedicated function knobs for ALT, BARO, and HDG/TRK bugs. The control panel is available in
horizontal and vertically orientations to accommodate various instrument panel layouts.
Operationally, the two versions are identical.
Without the Knob Control Panel, ALT, BARO, and HDG/TRK bugs are adjusted from the
multifunction knobs on a SkyView HDX Display. Each Knob Control Panel knob can be pressed
to sync each bug/setting, the same as using the knobs on the SkyView display. When a Knob
Control Panel is installed in a SkyView HDX system, the knobs on a SkyView HDX Display can
still be set to ALT, BARO, and HDG/TRK if desired. Up to two Knob Control Panels can be
installed in a SkyView HDX system.
Figure 40: SV-KNOB-PANEL (Horizontal & Vertical Configurations)

6.13 Autopilot System
SkyView HDX Autopilot is an optional, digitally controlled two-axis (roll and pitch) or three-axis
(roll, pitch, and yaw) servo-activated system that provides flight path control functions to the pilot.
The Autopilot can follow a heading by reference to the compass, follow direction over the ground
by reference to GPS track information, or navigate according to a CDI when coupled to SkyView
HDX’s internal VFR GPS Navigation data, or when coupled to external navigation source
providing VOR, localizer, cross track error or GPS navigation data.
The Autopilot can also hold altitude, and transition between altitudes at either a selected climb
rate or airspeed. The autopilot will also follow vertical guidance including glideslope and
glidepath information when coupled to an external navigation source.
In addition, the autopilot can have a third servo connected to the rudder. The rudder servo acts
as a yaw damper to reduce and prevent yaw excursions while cruising or maneuvering,
whenever the autopilot is engaged. The Yaw Damper (YD) function may also be activated during
manual flight.
6.13.1 Autopilot Control
Operating the Autopilot requires selection of the correct control mode to complete the desired
Autopilot task. The lateral and vertical servos can be engaged individually or simultaneously.
The servos can be engaged using the Autopilot Control Page (see Figure 41), located on the
display, or by using the Autopilot Control Panel (see Figure 43). Both controls provide the same
buttons and functions, with two exceptions:
1. The Autopilot Control Page does not provide the LEVEL button or function.
2. The Autopilot Control Panel does not provide the Yaw Damper button or function.
Figure 41: Autopilot Control Page

NOTE: Only the AP and the LEVEL buttons will engage the Autopilot servos.

Table 6: Autopilot Control Modes
CONTROL
FUNCTIONALITY DESCRIPTION
MODE
LEVEL • Rolls wings level and simultaneously returns nose to horizon, then holds zero
vertical speed.
HDG • Turns toward and holds compass heading as selected by HDG/TRK bug.
TRK • Turns toward and holds ground track as selected by HDG/TRK bug.
ROLL • Holds current bank angle, within bank angle limits.
• This mode can only be activated when Autopilot is activated and no other lateral
mode (HDG, TRK, or NAV) is selected at time of engagement.
NAV • Intercepts course by turning towards CDI needle then maintains selected OBS
course.
• VOR/LOC: Reverts to HDG mode if CDI is lost with HDG target set to OBS value,
or to current HDG if OBS is not set.
• GPS: Reverts to TRK mode if CDI is lost with TRK target set to OBS value, or to
current GPS ground track if OBS is not set.
ALT • Holds altitude commanded in the Autopilot status bar.
• When activating this mode commanded altitude is automatically set to the current
indicated altitude.
VS • Maintains the selected vertical speed as aircraft performance allows, until
approaching the altitude bug, then transitions to ALT mode.
NOTE: If VS mode is selected when altitude is near the selected altitude, the
Autopilot will not automatically capture altitude. This allows the pilot to initiate
a VS climb/descent away from the altitude bug.
NOTE: A VS setting of '0' will not maintain a specific altitude. However, if a specific
altitude is not required, a VS setting of '0' can provide a more comfortable ride
quality than ALT mode in turbulent conditions.
IAS • Maintains the selected air speed (if not aircraft performance limited) until the
selected altitude approaches, then transitions to ALT to maintain selected altitude.
VNAV • Intercepts and tracks a glideslope or glidepath.

• Will not capture if descending from above the glideslope or glidepath.

6.13.2 Yaw Damper Control
The Yaw Damper is engaged independently from the Autopilot and can be engaged when the
Autopilot is not engaged. The Yaw Damper control selector appears only on the Autopilot Control
Page (see Figure 41). The Yaw Damper control selector will turn green when engaged. The
Slip/Skid indicator will also appear green with the letters YD in black when the Yaw Damper is
turned ON, and white when the Yaw Damper is turned OFF, as shown in Figure 42.

6.13.3 SV-AP-APDISC Autopilot Control Panel
The SV-AP-PANEL (see Figure 43) is an optional control panel for SkyView HDX Systems with
Autopilot that is installed on an instrument panel. It provides dedicated buttons for engaging the
Flight Director, Autopilot, and all control modes, including setting up fully coupled approaches,
VNAV, IAS Hold, and mode sequencing (provided that IFR navigation sources are installed). It
also has a LEVEL button to immediately return the aircraft to straight and level flight.
Figure 43: SV-AP-PANEL (Horizontal and Vertical Versions)

6.13.4 SV-BUTTON-APDISC Autopilot Disconnect Button
The SV-BUTTON-APDISC (see Figure 44) is an Autopilot Disconnect (A/P DISC) button for
SkyView HDX Systems with Autopilot. An A/P DISC button is required on SkyView HDX Systems
with Autopilot. The button can be mounted on the instrument panel or affixed to the control yoke.
The button's purpose is to immediately disengage the Autopilot.
Figure 44: SV-BUTTON-APDISC

6.13.5 SV-BUTTON-LEVEL Autopilot Level Button
The SV-BUTTON-LEVEL (see Figure 44) is an optional LEVEL button for SkyView HDX System
Autopilot that is installed on an instrument panel. The button’s purpose is to activate/deactivate
Level Mode. Level Mode (or Straight and Level Mode) will immediately attempt to reach zero
vertical speed and a roll angle of zero. It will not attempt to fly the aircraft to any previous altitude
or track, and it will not respect any bug inputs. When activated, Level Mode will cause the
Autopilot to engage if it was not already engaged.
Figure 45: SV-BUTTON-LEVEL

6.14 SV-NET-HUB Network Hub
The SV-NET-HUB network hub (see Figure 46) is an optional accessory that is typically installed
behind an instrument panel near SkyView HDX System components, as well as near Autopilot
servo installations. The SV-NET-HUB simplifies component connection to the SkyView HDX
Network.
Figure 46: SV-NET-HUB
6.15 Panel Mount USB Port

The Panel Mount USB Port (see Figure 47) is an optional accessory that is typically installed on
an instrument panel. It extends access to the USB ports on a SkyView HDX display. USB ports
are used for transferring files (e.g., firmware updates/backups, database updates, configuration
file uploads/downloads) to a SkyView HDX display.
Figure 47: Panel Mount USB Port

7 Troubleshooting
7.1 Identifying Failures
If a major failure occurs that prevents SkyView HDX Display from presenting information, it will
respond with a Red X and a descriptive label of which input failed. The Red X may overlay the
entire page if a data source such as the ADAHRS module fails (see Figure 48).
If an EMS module fails, there will be a Red X over the entire EMS display segment (bottom band,
50% page, etc.) and a yellow "EMS FAIL" label (see Figure 50). If a sensor fails, only the area
associated with the display of that sensor’s data will have a Red X displayed over it (see
Figure 51).
Fundamentally, the Red X indicates a failure to communicate with a SkyView HDX component
or a sensor connected to a component. Potential communication faults are listed in Section 5.13.

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).

9.4 SkyView HDX System Backup Battery Test

The Backup Battery for the SkyView HDX system must be tested once every 12 months to
ensure it is operational and meets the nominal 45-minute expected backup operation period.
Each SkyView HDX Display requires a Backup Battery, and each Backup Battery must be tested.
The Backup Battery must be fully charged prior to beginning the test. To test the battery,
complete the following steps:
1. Remove power from SkyView HDX Display by turning off Master Switch.
2. On SkyView HDX Display, during the 30-second power off countdown, press TEST BAT
button (see
Figure 81: TEST BAT Button

3. The BATTERY TEST screen will appear, displaying the status of the test. If the Backup
Battery can power the system for at least 45 minutes, the battery passes the test.
4. After test completes, the SkyView HDX Display will automatically power itself off.
To see the results of the test, go to SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > BATTERY
BACKUP (SV-BAT-320) STATUS>TEST RESULTS. Make sure the TEST RESULT says
PASS. If PASS is displayed, battery is good. If FAIL is displayed, battery needs to be
replaced (see Section 8.9)

32) This test discharges the Backup Battery. Recharging the Backup Battery after the
test is recommended by flying for approximately four hours or by powering on
31) SkyView HDX Display with ground power greater than 12.25 volts for approximately
four hours.
9.5 EFIS-D10A Backup Battery Test

The internal backup battery must be tested once every 12 months to ensure it is operational and
meets the nominal 45-minute expected backup operation period. The backup battery must be
fully charged prior to beginning the test. To ensure the battery is fully charged, do the following:
• While EFIS-D10A draws power from airplane power, allow internal battery in EFIS-D10A
to charge above 16.0 volts.
• To view the voltmeter, enter the menu system by pressing any button beneath an EFIS
page (except far left or far right hotkeys) and go to EFIS > INFO > LEFT > VMETER.
• The battery may charge as high as 16.8 volts, but it is only necessary to charge it to 16.0
volts for the test.
To test back up battery, complete the follow steps:
1. Remove all sources of external power from EFIS-D10A. When power is lost, a red bar will
appear with a 30-second countdown timer. Press STAY ON to continue the EFIS-D10A
operating off its internal backup battery.
2. Ensure EFIS-D10A screen is at its full brightness level. To do this, enter the menu system
by pressing any button beneath an EFIS page (except the far left or far right hotkeys) and
press MORE > DIM and fully increase the brightness level.
3. Let the unit remain on.
4. After 45 minutes, if the EFIS-D10A has not turned off and does not display the INTERNAL
BATTERY LOW warning, the battery passes the capacity test.
5. If the battery does not pass the capacity test, it will be necessary to replace the battery
(see Section 8.11).
6. Re-apply aircraft power to EFIS-D10A and charge battery until voltage is above 15.0 volts
before returning to service.

9.6 Pitot/Static Leakage Test
This test must be done to make sure there are no leaks in the pitot or static pneumatic tubes.
The check needs to be performed anytime the pitot and static pneumatic tubes are removed
from the ADAHRS module or the EFIS-D10A Standby Display.
This test must be used when performing pitot/static, transponder, or other tests that manipulate
either the pitot or static pressures.
Equipment:
• Calibrated pitot/static tester
• Rubber or plastic tube
9.6.1 Pitot System Leak Test Procedure
1. Put a piece of tape over the small hole in lower aft end of pitot tube.
2. Attach a piece of rubber or plastic tubing over pitot tube and close opposite end of tube.
3. Make sure both SkyView HDX Display and EFIS-D10A Standby Display are powered on.
4. Slowly roll up tube until airspeed indicator shows in cruise range of 120-140 Knots.
5. Attach tube to prevent air pressure change and look at airspeed on SkyView HDX Display
and EFIS-D10A Standby Display. After one minute, if there is a leak, pressure in system
will be reduced, and you will see a lower airspeed on the displays.
6. If there is a leak in the system, you must examine and tighten all connections, hoses, and
fittings before you do another check.
7. If there are no leaks, slowly unroll the tubing to let pressure in the instrument slowly return
to ambient pressure.
9.6.2 Static System Leak Test Procedure
1. Make sure that static system is free of restrictions and moisture.
2. Make sure that there are no alterations or deformations to airframe surface that may affect
relation between the air pressure in static pressure system and true ambient static air
pressure for any flight configuration.
3. Close static pressure alternate source control.
4. Attach a vacuum source to static pressure source opening.
5. Make sure both SkyView HDX Display and EFIS-D10A Standby Display are powered on.
6. Slowly apply vacuum source until altimeter indication is a 1,000-foot increase in altitude
indicated on both SkyView HDX Display and EFIS-D10A Standby Display.
7. Cut off vacuum source to make sure that there is a closed system for one minute.
8. If altimeter loss on SkyView HDX Display or EFIS-D10A Standby Display is not more than
100 feet after one minute, then the system is good, and you can slowly release vacuum
until the system goes back to ambient. If altimeter loss is more than 100 feet, tighten all
connections and perform leak test again.

9.7 Zero Pressure IAS/AoA Calibration
This calibration samples pitot, static, and AoA pressures. It should be performed before the AoA
calibration. Calibration should be performed in a windless environment to allow the SkyView
HDX system to provide the best possible Indicated Airspeed (IAS) readings at very low
airspeeds.
• To calibrate, go to SETUP > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > ADAHRS CALIBRATION >
ZERO PRESSURE IAS/AOA CALIBRATION and follow the on-screen instructions.
9.8 AoA Calibration

Perform the following calibration after the Zero Pressure IAS/AoA Calibration. If a Dynon
Avionics AoA/Pitot Sensor is re-installed, a calibration is required. This calibration is performed
while flying.
• Once you are flying straight and level at a safe altitude for stalls, go into the AoA
Calibration Wizard (IN FLIGHT SETUP MENU > AOA CALIBRATION) and follow the
onscreen instructions to calibrate angle of attack while in flight.
9.9 Transponder Tests

The transponder must be tested and inspected per FAR 91.413 and AC 43.13-1B.
Post-installation tests should be carried out in accordance with your certification requirements.
These tests should include the following:
• Mode-S interrogations to verify correct address programming.
• Verification of the reported altitude using a static tester.
• Where installed, verification of correct squat switch ground/airborne indications. In an aircraft
with a squat switch, setting the Mode switch to ALT when the aircraft is on the ground should
leave the Transponder in GND mode; when the aircraft becomes airborne, the mode should
switch automatically to ALT.
• Interrogations to verify the receiver sensitivity. A Mode-S transponder should have a
minimum triggering level (MTL) of between -77 dBm and -71 dBm. Failure to meet this
requirement usually indicates antenna or coaxial cable problems.
• Interrogations to verify the transmitted power. A Class 1 installation should have no less than
125 Watts at the antenna (and no more than 500 Watts). A Class 2 installation should have
no less than 71 Watts at the antenna (and no more than 500 Watts). Failure to meet this
requirement is also generally due to antenna or wiring issues.
• Verification of the GPS position source and ADS-B outputs. Whenever a valid position is
received by the Transponder and it is in any mode other than Standby, ADS-B Extended
Squitter should be observed on the Transponder test set.
9.9.1 Manual ALT/GND Mode Switching
Transponder checks require manual switching to ALT and GND mode.
1. The Transponder is normally configured to automatically switch between GND and ALT
mode, based on airspeed and other parameters – SETUP MENU > TRANSPONDER
SETUP > AUTO ALT/GND > AUTOMATIC (AIR DATA). In this mode, in the XPNDR
menu, the GND button does not appear, and the ALT button will not change mode unless
you are in flight.
2. Some aircraft may be equipped with a squat switch for Transponder mode control; before
changing AUTO ALT/GND, record which squat switch configuration is set. You will need
this information to restore AUTO ALT/GND to this setting after Transponder testing is
complete.
3. To be able to manually switch the Transponder between ALT and GND mode, you must
temporarily reconfigure the transponder: SETUP MENU > TRANSPONDER SETUP >
AUTO ALT/GND > NONE > EXIT (button).
4. The Transponder can now be manually switched to ALT and GND modes: XPNDR > ALT
and XPNDR > GND.SV-ADSB-472 ADS-B IN Receiver.
34) After transponder testing is complete, remember to return the transponder to its
normal configuration: SETUP MENU > TRANSPONDER SETUP > AUTO ALT/GND
33) > AUTOMATIC (AIR DATA).
9.9.2 Manipulating Altitude

If the test on your Transponder requires manipulating the static pressure, be sure to manipulate
static pressure only after activating SkyView HDX’s pitot/static test mode. Pitot/static test mode
is accessed via SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION.
Connect Pitot and Static to the same test pressure altitude, or strange attitude behaviors may
occur.
9.10 Compass Calibration

Performing an in-flight compass calibration after an on-ground compass calibration can increase
the magnetic heading accuracy of the compass. The best compass performance will be achieved
by performing the on-ground compass calibration, then performing the in-flight compass
calibration. It is not required that the in-flight compass calibration be performed immediately after
the on-ground compass calibration.
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.

3. Enter Setup Menu on SkyView HDX Display and go to Compass Calibration Wizard
(SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > ADAHRS CALIBRATION > COMPASS
CALIBRATION).
NOTE: GPS data on the Compass Calibration Page must be green. If it is red, GPS data
is not valid.
4. Orient airplane to north, south, east, or west.
5. When airplane is stable at chosen orientation, push button indicating the direction the
airplane is oriented. For example, when the airplane is pointed north, push the NORTH
button.
6. Wait for data collection to reach 100%.
7. Rotate to next cardinal direction and repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 for all remaining headings.
8. When calibration is complete, a CALIBRATION COMPLETE message appears. Press
FINISH to return to menu navigation mode.
9.10.2 In-flight Compass Calibration
While the in-flight compass calibration is optional, it will likely improve the dynamic performance
of the heading indications of your airplane.
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.

Calibration Procedure:
1. While observing conditions listed above, push Buttons 7 and 8 simultaneously to enter
IN-FLIGHT SETUP MENU.
2. Select COMPASS CALIBRATION.
3. Click knob to enter in-flight COMPASS CALIBRATION menu (see Figure 82).
Figure 82: In-Flight Compass Calibration Menu

4. Push START button to begin calibration.
5. View NEW CALIBRATION section of menu. The goal of the in-flight compass calibration
is to achieve a compass calibration “quality” of at least 100.
6. Perform calibration maneuvers. The minimum maneuvers for in-flight compass calibration
are one (1) 360° turn clockwise, and one (1) 360° turn counterclockwise. Flying additional
maneuvers that incorporate pitch and roll changes will likely improve the in-flight compass
calibration.
7. When the quality is as high as you can obtain (minimum is 70), push the FINISH button
to complete the in-flight compass calibration. Flying additional maneuvers beyond the
minimum may improve in-flight compass calibration but will not make it worse.
QUALITY of 70-99 is acceptable, but not optimum; the accuracy of your magnetic heading
may not be acceptable. Additionally, a sub-optimal quality may have the following effects:
• Degraded performance of the SkyView Autopilot (AP) in HDG and NAV modes.
• Degraded accuracy of wind direction and velocity.

If, after multiple attempts at in-flight compass calibration, you cannot achieve a quality of
at least 70, it’s likely the compass sensor in the Remote Magnetometer module cannot
sense the earth’s magnetic field with enough precision (excessive magnetic interference).
The location of the Remote Magnetometer module should then be changed.
