SkyView ADS-B Receiver for Weather, Traffic, and TFRs

DYNON ANNOUNCES NEW ADS-B “IN” WEATHER, TRAFFIC and TFR RECEIVER

Woodinville, WA, July 18th, 2012 -Dynon announces the SV-ADSB-470 UAT Band Traffic and Weather Receiver for the SkyView system.  This remotely mounted receiver module integrates with the SkyView system to provide easy access to weather and traffic information on top of the detailed navigational information SkyView already provides.

At an MSRP of $995, the SV-ADSB-470 is the most affordable permanently mounted ADS-B solution on the market and has been designed specifically for experimental and light sport aircraft. It is powered directly from aircraft power and utilizes an externally mounted antenna for superior performance.

All information displayed is free with no monthly subscriptions, based on the FAA’s ADS-B broadcast in the USA. Weather is displayed graphically and textually on SkyView, and includes NEXRAD radar, METARs, and TAFS.  Airport weather data can be chosen based on nearest or by airport identifier.

By combining the SV-ADSB-470 with Dynon’s existing SV-XPNDR-261 Mode-S transponder module with ADS-B out, reliable, accurate traffic will be provided to the SkyView system, even without a certified GPS on board. The ADS-B system requires the aircraft to be ADS-B OUT equipped before traffic information is provided, and Dynon’s Transponder is fully DO-260B / ADS-B out certified so SkyView owners will receive a complete traffic picture any time ADS-B services are available. Nearby traffic that is a threat will generate an audio alert so that the pilot does not need to keep looking at the screen to be alerted to nearby aircraft.

Robert Hamilton, Director of Marketing at Dynon, mentions “We’re excited to offer in-flight weather on SkyView. It is the number one feature asked for by our customers, who want fully integrated real-time data that is subscription free.”

This new SkyView module will be available Fall, 2012, along with firmware updates to the SkyView system and the SV-XPNDR-261/262 transponder modules.

Aviation Data Advisory: KOAK Class C Airspace

Dynon Avionics has discovered an issue in the free FAA-provided US-only Aviation Data that can mislead the pilot into believing that the aircraft is not in KOAK's class C or SFO's class B airspace when, in fact, the pilot remains in KOAK's class C airspace.

For complete details, see the Aviation Data Advisory on the Dynon Avionics website.

SkyView Training Classes at Arlington Fly-in and AirVenture 2012

Dynon Avionics will be offering two additional series of classroom training in the operation of their SkyView system. In these classes current and prospective owners of SkyView systems will be working with real SkyView units, configuring them for various ground and flight operations.

The next series will be offered during the week of the Arlington Fly-in which runs from Wednesday 11th through Sunday 15th of July. Both morning and afternoon classes will be offered on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of that week. All classes will be held at the Dynon Avionics headquarters in Woodinville, WA, about 45 minutes south of Arlington Airport by car. Attendees will be responsible for their own transportation to and from the Dynon offices, but the classes are offered free to anyone wishing to attend.


Another series of classes will be offered at AirVenture 2012. Morning classes only will be offered on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of AirVenture. Classes will be held in the Hilton Garden Inn at the northwest corner of the airport. To partially offset the cost of the conference room facilities, there is a cost of $30 per person. Attendees should contact AirVenture staff to learn about the availability of ground transportatiion to and from the vicinity of the Hilton Garden Inn.


For both series of classes, tickets must be obtained through “Brown Paper Tickets”, an on-line event ticketing service. For more information on both series of classes and to obtain tickets, go to:

SkyView Support for Rotax 912iS Announced - March 2012

DYNON ANNOUNCES SKYVIEW SUPPORT FOR ROTAX 912iS ENGINE

March 26, 2012

Woodinville, WA – Dynon Avionics announces SkyView support for the new Rotax 912iS engine. Development of this capability has been underway for several months, with availability August 21, 2012

Support for the 912iS engine is via a new SV-EMS-221 module. The SV-EMS-221 receives many engine parameters directly from the 912iS engine computer through its new dual-channel CAN bus interface. Engine parameters available from the 912iS engine computer include RPM, manifold pressure, oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature, EGT for all four cylinders, ECU voltage, and engine hours. All the other normal SkyView SV-engine functions are still available using the SV-EMS-221, such as fuel level, trim position, battery voltage, and contacts.

A 912iS-specific engine sensor kit that includes the engine wiring harness, a Kavlico fuel pressure sensor, and an amps shunt is also available.

SkyView 3.3 Released

SkyView Software Version 3.3 is now available for download.

SkyView 3.3 adds audio alerts and messaging, fully integrated user waypoint functions, and much more and highly configurable GPS waypoint information to the Moving Map window.

The Audio Out feature includes voice annunciation of engine, navigation, and autopilot alerts, augmenting the visual alerting and messaging already incorporated in the display. 

The new User Waypoint function allows the pilot to create, manipulate, and import/export user defined waypoints. User Waypoints now appear as an icon of the pilot's choosing, and like other airports or navaids they can be used in flight plans, as direct-to navigation waypoints, or can be used visually on the map page to help navigate.

Substantially more waypoint GPS information can now be displayed on the GPS navigation map, including items such as Bearing to Waypoint, Distance to Go, Distance to Waypoint, ETA, Ground Speed, and GPS Altitude. All of this additional GPS information can be selected and viewed by the pilot in flight.

The new Map Navigation features require that the SkyView System have a SV-MAP-270 software license.

A new hardware device for SkyView is also being introduced, the SV-NET-HUB. With five network ports, it allows easier connection between multiple SkyView modules. Typically mounted in the avionics bay, one port can connect to a SkyView display leaving four ports available for connection to the ADAHRS, EMS module, and autopilot servos.

Customers can download SkyView Version 3.3 for free from the Dynon Website at http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/support_software_SkyView.html
