1.2 Printing this Manual
To reduce waste and confusion resulting from outdated information in print, Dynon
Avionics does not provide this manual in printed form. We recommend that you download
the most recent version and print out sections as necessary for your build. If you prefer
to print out the entire manual, rather than printing it out on a home printer (typically, with
relatively expensive inkjet printing) we recommend that you take the PDF file of this
manual to be printed at a large office supply retailer that provides printing services. The
statement on the cover of this manual: Permission to print this manual is granted to
third parties should be sufficient permission to do so.
It is also handy to have the electronic version on your tablet computer for reference as
you can perform keyword searches, and the electronic version includes figures and
diagrams that contain important color information. We have found that the free “iBooks”
application that can be installed on Apple iPad tablet computers can import this manual’s
PDF file for easy reference.
In the electronic (.PDF) version of this manual, page and section references in the Table
of Contents, and elsewhere, act as hyperlinks, taking you to the relevant location in the
manual.

If your aircraft was built using components not provided by Dynon Avionics (such as
harnesses), some information provided in this manual may not be applicable. For
example, some manufacturers prefer to build harnesses that do not adhere to the wire
color codes of harnesses manufactured by Dynon Avionics. Some configuration menus
described in this manual may not be accessible, as a manufacturer may have restricted
access to certain menus.
1.3 Installation Compliance
Airplanes identified on the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Approved Model List
(AML) have been determined to meet a minimum required configuration for applicability
of the STC. However, as some airplanes may have been modified over the years, it may
be difficult to use the information in this manual to completely substantiate the installation
in compliance with the STC. It is the installer's responsibility to make the final
determination of applicability for each individual aircraft.
Prior to completing the installation, and before returning the aircraft to service, the installer
must complete and submit a completed FAA form 337 "Major Repair and Alteration
Airframe, Powerplant, Propeller, or Appliance" to the appropriate FAA Flight Standards
District Office. The form should describe the SkyView installation and the equipment and
