SkyView HDX Pilot’s User Guide – Revision B 6-1
6. ENGINE Operation
This section describes SkyView ENGINE functionality and a few of the advanced ways to use it
to monitor the health and operation of your engine.
This section references the Engine pages. These page should have been configured
during SkyView installation. Reference the SkyView Classic / SE / HDX System
Installation Guide for more information.
The three Engine Pages (100%, 50%, and ENGINE BOTTOM BAND) are configurable
by the pilot and should be configured during system installation. The specific
widgets in, and overall appearance of the 50% Page and EMS BOTTOM BAND are
not scaled down versions of the 100% Engine Page. They are unique layouts and
must be laid out individually.
Each of the three engine pages displays important engine parameters acquired using an SV-
EMS-220 module, its sensors, and other advanced engine monitoring features. The engine page
shown below is the ENGINE BOTTOM BAND, the preferred engine presentation in SkyView HDX.

The appearance and position of each element on the engine page is configurable using the
SCREEN LAYOUT EDITER under the EMS SETUP Menu in System setup. It should have been
configured during installation. All engine widgets that have assignable color ranges, can include:
red, yellow, green, black, blue, white, purple, cyan, and orange, for customization. For more
information regarding the Screen Layout Editor, reference the SkyView Classic / SE / HDX
System Installation Guide.
The green markings on pitch/roll/rudder trim indications, if they exist, nominally depict the
take-off position markings as defined during calibration.
Engine warning alerts are only triggered when their respective sensors are
configured as self-clearing or latching alarms. If a sensor’s alarm is configured as
off, no alert will trigger, even if that sensor’s measurement enters a range defined
as red. Reference the SkyView Classic / SE / HDX System Installation Guide for more
information regarding alarm configuration.
