GPS Signal Source

SkyView’s PFD contains display elements – such as Synthetic Vision, ground speed, and the HSI -
that depend on GPS information to work. Reference the GPS Source section in the SV-MAP-270
Navigation Mapping Software chapter of this guide for information about how SkyView utilizes
and prioritizes the available GPS sources that are used for this purpose.

PFD Symbology

Bugs

The SkyView PFD makes use of airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, minimum descent altitude,
and heading (or track) bugs. Note that the altitude, vertical speed, and heading (or track) bugs
are used for autopilot control if Autopilot servos are installed. Instructions for setting bugs are
detailed in subsequent sections of this guide.

The airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed bugs are located above their respective tapes and the
heading (or track) bug is located to the lower left of the Magnetic Heading Indicator/ Directional
Gyro.

You can toggle the display state of bugs using the following procedure. Ensure that bugs that
are used as control mechanisms for autopilot axes (i.e., HDG ALT, IAS, and VS) are available on
at least one display or knob control panel. If you have multiple displays in your aircraft, you can
toggle the bugs on each independently.

1. Press PFD while on the Main Menu.
2. Press BUGS.
3. Press HDG, ALT, IAS, VS, CRS or MDA to toggle the display state of each respective bug.

If a bug label is highlighted, it will show up on the PFD and in the joystick menu.

4. Press BACK to return to the PFD Menu.

A bug is only adjustable if it is on and it is an option in the Joystick Menu. Bugs that are turned
off are displayed as “- - - “with their respective units (e.g., “- - - FT” for an altitude bug).

When all bugs are turned on, all bugs are available in the Joystick Menu as illustrated in Figure
10.
