SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision K 2-3
General System Installation Tips
Aircraft construction involves a variety of processes that create debris that can
damage Dynon Avionics components. Metalwork, in particular, will produce
metallic shavings and dust that may damage or destroy the electronics in Dynon
Avionics products if they are contaminated with this debris. Care should be taken
to ensure that Dynon Products are kept away from aircraft construction debris.
Damaged caused by the introduction outside particulates will not be repaired
under warranty.
Do not physically modify Dynon SkyView displays or modules in any way that is not
specified in this manual. Damage caused to Dynon products due to physical
modifications will not be repaired under warranty.
Installing SkyView in an IFR-Equipped Aircraft
If you are equipping an aircraft that is capable of being flown in IFR/IMC conditions, Dynon
Avionics makes the following recommendations:
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 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. Dynon 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.
