At
AirVenture Oshkosh 2014, Dynon Avionics announces an 8.33 kHz COM radio, video
input, and version 11 software for its SkyView glass panel system. Also,
Advanced Flight Systems – part of the Dynon family since July 2013 – announces
its new Quick Panel System. Available in both VFR and IFR versions with either Dynon or AFS displays, an AFS Quick Panel allows builders to install a turnkey avionics solution in their aircraft, saving thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of build time.
8.33 kHz COM Radio
Dynon’s
SV-COM-C25 COM radio reinvented the pilot interface for radios. With dedicated
buttons for tuning tower, ground, weather, and ATC frequencies, it saves time
and reduces pilot workload. The
SV-COM-X83 brings the same capability to Europe with 8.33 kHz frequency spacing. The 8.33 kHz transceiver module is TSO’d. The
SV-COM-X83 comes in horizontal and vertical versions and will be available in August for a list price of $2195.

Video Input
With
SkyView 11 Software, all SkyView Touch and new SkyView screens can display
video in both full-screen and split-screen formats when equipped with a Video
Input Adapter. Video sources connect via s-video or composite input. Both NTSC
and PAL formats are supported for worldwide compatibility. The Video Input
Adapter for SkyView will be available in August for $195.

SkyView 11 Software
With
over 60 new features and improvements in SkyView 11, Dynon continues to advance
SkyView’s state-of-the-art capabilities. As always, SkyView 11 software is
available as a free update for all SkyView customers. Just a few of the new
features in SkyView 11 are:
- A pilot-selectable wide field
of view mode for synthetic vision.
- Color-coded airport weather
icons on the map when equipped with an SV-ADSB-470 module.
- The ability to synchronize the
altimeter setting to the nearest station’s METAR report (requires
SV-ADSB-470).
- Support for third-party 8.33
kHz COM radios. Supported radios include the f.u.n.k.e. ATR833, Garmin GTR
225 & GNC 255, and Trig TY91/92.
- Decluttering of airspaces
outside of a pilot-specified altitude band above and below the aircraft.

Quick Panel Systems by
Advanced Flight Systems
Advanced
Flight Systems announces its Quick Panel System, a line of complete pre-built
avionics panels. Starting with VFR and IFR-equipped panels for the RV-7/9,
installing an aircraft’s modern avionics and electrical system is no longer a
time consuming, complicated and frustrating experience. Each system includes a
well-engineered instrument panel that is professionally wired, configured,
tested and ready to install. All
avionics, including the aircraft’s autopilot servos, trim servos and lights are
all cleanly wired to the new Advanced Control Module.
The
first Advanced Quick Panels are available for purchase at Oshkosh for only
$19,995. Learn more about the Quick Panel System at the AFS website.
