Slip/Skid Ball
The action of the slip/skid ball simulates an analog slip/skid ball and provides a
visual representation of lateral acceleration. When the ball is within the two
vertical lines, the aircraft is in coordinated flight. Figure 39 is an example
SkyView slip/skid ball.
Angle of Attack Indicator
The Angle Of Attack (AOA) Indicator will display only when a Dynon AOA/Pitot probe
has been properly installed and calibrated. During normal flight, the AOA Indicator
will display green. As the AOA approaches and then reaches critical, the green and
yellow bars will disappear, leaving only red. Figure 40 is an example SkyView AOA
indicator.
A thorough explanation of AOA and the principles of operation of Dynon's AOA
Pitot probe are beyond the scope of this guide. Detailed information about AOA
and Dynon's approach to AOA is available at
OAT
Outside air temperature (OAT) as shown in Figure 41 is displayed in the very
lower-right corner of the PFD. Units can be set to degrees Fahrenheit or degrees
Celsius. Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide for instructions on
how to change the displayed units. If OAT is not valid (i.e., disconnected or
damaged), then "OAT ---" is displayed.
Synthetic Vision (SYNVIS)
Synthetic Vision depictions of terrain, runways, obstacles, and other information
are meant as informational aids only. These depictions should not be used as the
primary means for obtaining situational awareness of these features in flight.
Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Dynon cannot independently
verify the accuracy of terrain data at all geographical points.
When valid GPS data is available and Synthetic Vision is licensed on a SkyView display, the PFD
features integrated Synthetic Vision. Synthetic Vision displays the terrain directly ahead of the
aircraft. Terrain is graphically represented in sectional chart color variations which represent
topographical elevations and water features. Terrain is textured with a subtle checkerboard
pattern to aid in identifying aircraft movement.
You may toggle the Synthetic Vision system off or on at any time. Press PFD on the Main Menu,
then press MODE and then press SYNVIS. Additionally, SkyView offers the ability to show
synthetic vision in “wide” mode that shows more of the peripheral view. Similar to wide angle
