SkyView HDX Pilot’s User Guide – Revision B 5-3
For details on updating SkyView HDX databases, reference the SkyView Classic / SE
/ HDX System Installation Guide.
Aviation / Obstacle Databases
Like paper charts, Aviation / Obstacle databases are valid only for specific periods
and thus expire. It is your responsibility to stay current with these updates and
keep the SkyView HDX system up to date.
SkyView HDX uses aviation and obstacle databases to display airports, runways, nav aids,
airspace, obstacles, and other aviation data on the Moving Map and Synthetic Vision. Aviation
and obstacle databases also allow SkyView HDX to provide detailed information about aviation
features. SkyView HDX can also provide navigation to these aviation features.
Aviation / Obstacle databases for US pilots are provided by Dynon Avionics.
Aviation / Obstacle databases for regions outside the US are provided by other
providers – see http://dynonavionics.com/downloads.
Terrain Databases
SkyView HDX displays use high resolution terrain databases to display topographic features on
the MAP, as well as to display Synthetic Vision on the PFD. High Resolution Terrain Databases
are partitioned by region.
All SkyView HDX displays are shipped with high resolution terrain databases for North America
(includes the continental United States, part of Alaska, most of Canada, Mexico, part of Central
America, and the West Indies). If you are outside the US, your SkyView HDX display may have
already been loaded with high resolution terrain databases for your region by an aircraft
manufacturer or other reseller of Dynon products.
All available high resolution terrain databases can be downloaded at
http://dynonavionics.com/downloads.
Base-Map (Cultural Data) Database
The SkyView Base-Map (Cultural Data) database contains and roads, city names, railroads,
rivers, and political boundaries. The SkyView Base-Map database is partitioned by region.
All SkyView HDX displays are shipped with the Base-Map database for North America (includes
the continental United States, part of Alaska, most of Canada, Mexico, part of Central America,
and the West Indies). If you are outside the US, your SkyView HDX display may have already
been loaded with the Base-Map database for your region.
