System Planning
SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA 2-9
The entirety of the instrument panel and supporting avionics systems and instrumentation
should be designed so that the display of information essential for continued safe flight and
landing will remain available to the pilot after any single failure or probable combination of
failures. In other words, a usable "partial-panel" of primary flight instruments should be
preserved in the event of the failure of a SkyView display, systems that support it, or other
instruments in the aircraft.
This level of redundancy can be obtained in different ways. For example, one could utilize
multiple SkyView displays (with SV-BAT-320 backup batteries attached) including multiple
ADAHRS units connected to protect against the failure of any single display, ADAHRS, or the
electrical system. Flight instrument redundancy could also be preserved by using other separate
and independent systems such as the Dynon Avionics EFIS-D6. Some builders may elect to
combine SkyView with other more conventional “steam” gauges such as mechanical airspeed,
altitude, and attitude indicators.
To protect against aircraft electrical failures and anomalies, Dynon Avionics STRONGLY
RECOMMENDS that each SkyView display has an SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery connected to it.
SkyView’s attitude algorithm normally uses airspeed to provide superior accuracy. If a problem
develops with your airspeed reading due to mechanical blockage of pitot, disconnection of
pitot, or other pitot/static issues, a properly connected and configured GPS source acts as a
substitute. SkyView systems typically have one or more GPS sources connected to enable
Synthetic Vision and Mapping capabilities, but a primary and backup GPS connection is
especially important to preserve the attitude indication in the event of loss of airspeed
information in IFR aircraft.
In order to provide the most reliable airspeed (and therefore attitude) performance, Dynon
Avionics STRONGLY RECOMMENDS the installation of a heated pitot probe in aircraft equipped
for IFR to prevent loss of airspeed data due to icing.
Mounting Requirements
Some SkyView modules include mounting fasteners, while some do not. Mounting fasteners are
included as a convenience and installers are not required to use them. Use sensible mounting
techniques when installing equipment in suitable locations. You should reference individual
equipment sections for information regarding installation instructions.
