SkyView Pilot’s User Guide - Revision S xi
Revision Revision Date Description
R (cont.) August 2014
Added: Caution alert if transponder hex code is not set.
Added: Option to alert the pilot when the current BARO setting and the nearest METAR-
based altimeter setting are significantly different (requires SV-ADSB-470).
Added: Audible “AUTOPILOT” callout when the autopilot is engaged.
Added: Alerts when SV-AP-PANEL, or SV-KNOB-PANEL go offline.
Added: Alert when an external Level button is connected and detected stuck at boot.
Added: GPS-based distances to bearing sources in HSI info area (when only one bearing
source is displayed).
Added: Alert for detectable audio subsystem failures.
Added: MAP MENU > FLIGHT PLAN OPTIONS > PLAN GROUND SPEED lets SkyView
perform ETE, ETA, and other speed-dependent calculations at a user-specified ground
speed when not flying.
Improved: Traffic service/device reception quality indicator on map page.
Improved: Additional failure detection and annunciation of rate sensors, accelerometers,
and pressure transducers in the SV-ADAHRS-20X.
Improved: Alert that annunciates when there is no high-res terrain available for the
current aircraft location (usually because a different world region is loaded).
Improved: Joystick knob menu now annunciates successful sync of any bug or BARO
setting when you press/hold the joystick knob.
Improved: Bugs can now be turned on and off per display via PFD>BUGS. The presence of
an autopilot no longer forces all bugs to be shown on all displays.
Improved: Display dimming algorithm and menu control scheme improved to disallow
brightness settings that would result in an illegible (too dim) display.
Improved: Airport identifiers on MAP are now white to improve legibility.
Improved: PFD>XPNDR menu no longer has a time-out that automatically backs out of
menu.
Improved: ROP/LOP EMS info widget now says “PK?” instead of “UND” when calculation
is out of range or not possible for the configuration.
S January 2015
New: Autopilot Auto-Trim. The SkyView AutoPilot can automatically re-trim the aircraft as
it flies under autopilot control. This feature requires that the aircraft has an SV-AP-PANEL
and is using its integrated trim controller for trim servo actuation.
New: OBS Mode that allows pilots easily set and adjust an inbound course to any
navigable point on the map. That inbound course may then be easily adjusted with the
HSI CRS knob, similar to how one would with a VOR. This is useful to approach an airport
from a specific direction, for example, without having to create a second waypoint to
create a full flight plan leg.
New: Aircraft icon displayed on the Map and in the HSI PFD can be changed to one of over
a dozen types of aircraft.
Added: Alerts that let the pilot know if the CPU within SkyView's display is overheating
due to failure of SkyView's thermal dissipation features.
Added: New option under MAP MENU > MAP ITEMS > TFR OPACITY that allows pilots to
change the opacity of TFRs. This can be used to tune the visibility of co-located TFRs and
underlying map features.
Added: Support for sending/receiving frequencies to the Garmin GTR-200. This does not
include the ability to send aviation database information to the GTR-200.
