Version 4.0 SkyView firmware is being introduced at Oshkosh and shipping immediately after (very early August.)  

 

        Most visible in Version 4.0 are improvements to the SkyView navigation mapping, with free base map data available worldwide. These include towns, cities, roads, rivers, and rail roads. Airspace depiction is also greatly improved, with graphics that match the style and color of sectional type charts. European airspace details have been added to reflect all airspace categories. With the addition of all this new data, SkyView now de-clutters objects and names to create a highly readable and detailed navigation map. A SV-MAP-270 navigation mapping license is required to utilize the new base map data.

 

        Version 4.0 also enhances SkyView system redundancy with annunciation of network faults and ADAHRS inconsistencies. All SkyView network cables have two sets of redundant data lines. Now, if a fault occurs on one data line it is annunciated on the SkyView display and all communications are automatically switched to the non-faulted data lines. Also, if an aircraft is equipped with two ADAHRS modules, and if the reported attitude or other information significantly differs between the two sensor modules, then a warning is displayed to the pilot. The pilot can then cross check other instruments and disable any ADAHRS that is malfunctioning.

 

        The SkyView autopilot received several ongoing improvements, and Version 4.0 includes support for the Rotax 912 iS. The new SV-EMS-221 Module, required for this feature, will also ship August 1st and is $1,050 retail. We are also offering a new EMSKIT-RTXiS, part number 101711-007, for $190 retail.

 

We are announcing the SV-ADSB-470 UAT Band Traffic and Weather Receiver for the SkyView system. This remotely mounted receiver module integrates with the SkyView system to provide easy access to weather and traffic information on top of the detailed navigational information SkyView already provides.

 

At an MSRP of $995, the SV-ADSB-470 is the most affordable permanently mounted ADS-B solution on the market and has been designed specifically for experimental and light sport aircraft. It is powered directly from aircraft power and utilizes an externally mounted antenna for superior performance.

 

All information displayed is free with no monthly subscriptions, based on the FAA's ADS-B broadcast in the USA. Weather is displayed graphically and textually on SkyView, and includes NEXRAD radar, METARs, and TAFS. Airport weather data can be chosen based on nearest or by airport identifier.

 

By combining the SV-ADSB-470 with Dynon's existing SV-XPNDR-261 Mode-S transponder module with ADS-B out, reliable, accurate traffic will be provided to the SkyView system, even without a certified GPS on board. The ADS-B system requires the aircraft to be ADS-B OUT equipped before traffic information is provided, and Dynon's Transponder is fully DO-260B / ADS-B out certified so SkyView owners will receive a complete traffic picture any time ADS-B services are available. Nearby traffic that is a threat will generate an audio alert so that the pilot does not need to keep looking at the screen to be alerted to nearby aircraft.

 

This new SkyView module will be available Fall, 2012, along with firmware updates to the SkyView system and the SV-XPNDR-261/262 transponder modules.

At Oshkosh, Dynon is introducing a portable true attitude indicator that can be used by ALL pilots. The D1 utilizes the same Dynon MEMS-based AHRS technology that has made Dynon the leading supplier of EFIS (Electronic Flight Information Systems) in experimental and Light Sport Aircraft. This new D1 Pocket Panel can be used by all GA pilots, and is priced at $1,425.

 

The D1 is a true artificial horizon with accurate pitch and roll, and can find the horizon even if turned on in flight. And it maintains the horizon during extended duration turns. The AHRS sensors also drive a turn rate indicator and slip/skid ball. Included is an internal GPS receiver to display GPS ground speed, altitude, vertical speed, and ground track.

 

At only 3½" wide, 3¼" high, and 1" thick, the D1 is truly portable. It features a battery that will last at least four hours on a charge, and comes with two portable mounting options. The first is a RAM® suction cup mount, and the second is portable 3 ⅛" hole "pinch" mount.
