New Video: Updating the FAA Aviation and Obstacles Databases
Some pilots procrastinate updating their aviation and obstacles databases, perhaps because the process for doing updates is either unknown or seems too difficult. But having the most update information easily at hand in the cockpit is one of best features of affordable modern avionics for small aircraft.
This video covers the entire process of downloading the free monthly FAA database updates from the Dynon website, and uploading those files to your SkyView system. We show some minor variations in the download process dependent on the browser you use. And we cover details such as understanding the seemingly cryptic file names, and how to write downloaded files directly to a target USB stick rather than hunting for the file somewhere on your computer’s hard drive.

New Video: Installing the Autopilot Servo Limiting Bracket
This second video in David Weber’s “Tech Tips” series will demonstrate the proper way to install the limiting bracket on Dynon Avionics autopilot servos.
The servo limiting bracket is a simple but critical safety device. Proper installation and orientation of this bracket will help ensure you have the safest and best-performing advanced autopilot available for your aircraft.
New Video: Performing Network Configuration
One of the first steps after powering up up your SkyView system for the first time is to perform a network configuration. That process is also necessary when new components are added to the network.
This video will demonstrate the network configuration process step-by-step.October 14, 2015
New Video: Map INFO Feature
Continuing the series on Map features in the SkyView system, this video on the Map INFO feature will demonstrate how to access all the information available for airports and other objects included in the Aviation database.
A thorough understanding of SkyView’s Map features will demonstrate that you have all the information you need for VFR navigation at your fingertips on SkyView.

New Video: Map LAYERS Feature
This new video is the first in a short series to cover many of the features available on the moving map and VFR GPS navigator.
The LAYERS feature allows the computer-generated moving map to be overlaid with several additional types of information: Weather (requires the SV-ADSB-470 receiver) and Sectional, High- and Low-Altitude Enroute charts (require Chart Data subscription).
Did You Know? Dynon Autopilot: HDG vs TRK
Dynon’s Autopilot systems present two options for following a direction. Those two modes are HDG and TRK. Some pilots may be confused about the difference between these two autopilot control modes.
When HDG* or TRK modes are selected, the autopilot will follow the bug value selected by the pilot. This value is is indicated both by a digital value on the primary flight display and by the light blue bug icon located on the directional gyro. However, the actual flight path of the aircraft will vary depending on which mode is selected.
