SV-XPNDR-261/262 Installation and Configuration
11-26 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA
It is important to note that in the US, the ADS-B Out “mandate” and the associated GPS
requirements do not go into effect until January 1, 2020, and the mandate only requires
compliance in specific airspaces. If you do not have an SV-GPS-2020 (or an appropriately TSO’d
WAAS IFR GPS navigator - such as the Garmin GTN or GNS (WAAS only) series) installed,
SkyView will send data from the SV-GPS-2020 to the SV-XPNDR-261/262. Until January 1, 2020,
it is acceptable for the SV-XPNDR-261 to transmit GPS position data SV-GPS-250, and after 2020
it is acceptable to use this data if you do not fly in ADS-B required airspace.
Note that after 2020, only the (Class 1) SV-XPNDR-261 is capable of meeting the 2020 ADS-B
Out mandate. The (Class 2) SV-XPNDR-262 cannot be used for 2020 ADS-B Out compliance
credit since it does not meet the power transmission requirements of the ADS-B rule.
The FAA 2020 ADS-B Out mandate is codified in 14 CFR § 91.225 and 14 CFR § 91.227. In
general, these regulations require that as of January 1, 2020, if you operate an aircraft in,
below, or above Class B or Class C airspace, or above 10,000 feet in Class E airspace, an airplane
plane must be equipped with:
A Class 1 Mode S transponder with 1090ES ADS-B Extended Squitter that meets the
performance required in 14 CFR § 91.227 (or UAT; Dynon Avionics’ solution uses the
former)
The GPS supplying position data to the above transponder must meet the specific
performance requirements as defined in 14 CFR § 91.227.
The Dynon Avionics SV-XPNDR-261, as a TSO C166B device, meets the transponder and ADS-B
transmission requirements for 14 CFR § 91.225 and 14 CFR § 91.227.
The Dynon Avionics SV-GPS-2020, as a high integrity GPS receiver, meets the specific
performance requirements as defined in 14 CFR § 91.227.
Additional options for a GPS receiver that meets the specific performance requirements as
defined in 14 CFR § 91.227 include (that are supported by direct input to the SV-XPNDR-
261/262):
Avidyne IFD440 and IFD540
FreeFlight 1201 and 1203
Garmin GNS (WAAS only)
Garmin GTN
Trig Avionics TN70
The above units, when connected directly to the SV-XPNDR-261, is under review by the FAA as
of March, 2015. In the interim, these GPS devices, updated to their latest Software, connected
directly to an SV-XPNDR-261, updated to its latest Software, meet the performance
requirements required by 14 CFR § 91.227 when connected and configured per this installation
guide.
