Screens and Menus
This section lists all of the screens, menus, and pages in the SkyView system.
Some menu options are dependent on installed, networked, and/or calibrated
SkyView equipment. For example, if there are no servos present in the SkyView
network, the AP Menu will not be present on the Main Menu. This guide makes it
clear where these dependencies exist in their applicable sections.
Main Menu
This menu is displayed right after the SkyView display boots up similar to Figure 9 and contains
links to the following menus:
PFD–This menu allows users to turn the G Meter on and off, turn synthetic vision on or
off, select the NAV source, select bearing sources, and toggle bugs on and off.
AP–This menu allows users to toggle the status of each installed autopilot axis, set their
respective modes, and engage the autopilot in a 180° turn from the current ground
track. This menu is only accessible if the autopilot servos have been properly installed,
networked, calibrated, and tested
MAP–This menu allows users to control the Navigation Mapping Software features of
SkyView. Note that this button only appears when the SV-MAP-270 software has been
purchased and licensed, or when it is in its 30 hour free introductory trial period.
SCREEN–This menu allows users to set the backlight level, toggle the state of the three
information pages (PFD, ENGINE, and MAP), and change the layout of the screen.
Message Notification Area
Important alerts are relayed to users via the Message Notification Area. A flashing “Message”,
“Caution”, or “Warning” label above the rightmost button indicates the presence of a message
or alert. Press the rightmost button to bring up the Message Window to read the alert or
message. More information regarding messaging and alerting behavior is in the SkyView Pilot’s
User Guide.
