reminder to adjust the fuel computer, along with a FUEL MISMATCH message to indicate that
the fuel measured by the in-tank fuel quantity sensors does not closely match the fuel
computer’s fuel remaining value.
Dual Engine Monitoring
For aircraft with two engines, SkyView can be configured to monitor both engines when two
SV-EMS-22X modules are installed. This requires two or more SkyView displays in the system, as
each EMS module’s information is displayed on one display exclusively. In this set up each
engine is monitored independently on a single display.
One exception to the above is that SkyView’s flow-based fuel computer feature can be
configured in one of two ways: In one configuration, it will totalize all fuel and usage
throughout the aircraft – as you’d want when there is a single combined fuel system in the
aircraft. Alternatively, it can compute each engine’s fuel totals and usage quantities separately,
as you’d want if each engine were served by a completely independent fuel system. In either
case, the instantaneous fuel flow reading will be indicative of the current fuel usage of the
corresponding engine. The following info items will either be based on either the total fuel in
the aircraft or the total fuel per fuel system: Fuel Remaining, Fuel Used, Fuel Efficiency, Fuel at
Waypoint, and Range values.
In a dual engine system, the following timers are running when either engine is running: Run
Time, Total Air Time, Trip Run, Air Trip, and Air Timer. However, the Hobbs and Tach timers are
tied to the individual engine.
See the SkyView System Installation Guide for more details on setup and configuration of dual
engine monitoring.
VP-X Operation
Dynon SkyView can interface with the Vertical Power VP-X System to provide robust monitoring
and control of your electrical system via your SkyView system. In order to use this feature, a
Vertical Power VP-X system is required, along with software license for the VP-X features within
SkyView.
VP-X License Information
The VP-X software features are enabled on Dynon SkyView by purchasing a VP-X license code
from Dynon Avionics and entering it into your SkyView system. Only one VP-X license is needed
in a SkyView system, no matter how many displays are attached. That license is applied to only
one display, but that display stores the license information for the entire system. In normal use,
license information is shared with all displays connected via SkyView Network to allow the VP-X
features to be operated on any display in the system.
Information about purchasing a license, installing a VP-X license on a SkyView system, and
configuring SkyView to properly interface with the VP-X can be found by referencing BOTH the
Dynon SkyView System Installation Guide and the Vertical Power VP-X manuals.
