Dynon Avionics Oshkosh 2014 Announcements
We've got quite a few things to tell you guys about. At Oshkosh we'll be debuting an 8.33 kHz COM radio, video input, and version 11 software for its SkyView glass panel system. Also, Advanced Flight Systems ? part of the Dynon family since July 2013 ? announces its new Quick Panel System. Available in both VFR and IFR versions with either Dynon or AFS displays, an AFS Quick Panel allows builders to install a turnkey avionics solution in their aircraft, saving thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of build time.
If you'll be at AirVenture this week, make sure you pull a rivet on the One Week Wonder Zenith CH 750 which will be built during the fly-in! The One Week Wonder will feature a complete SkyView Touch system. 8.33 kHz COM Radio Dynon?s SV-COM-C25 COM radio reinvented the pilot interface for radios. With dedicated buttons for tuning tower, ground, weather, and ATC frequencies, it saves time and reduces pilot workload. The SV-COM-X83 brings the same capability to Europe with 8.33 kHz frequency spacing. The 8.33 kHz transceiver module is TSO?d. The SV-COM-X83 comes in horizontal and vertical versions and will be available in August for a list price of $2195. ![]() SV-COM-X83 Control Panel - Vertical ![]() SV-COM-X83 Control Panel - Horizontal ![]() SV-COM-X83 Transceiver Module Video Input With SkyView 11 Software, all SkyView Touch and new SkyView screens can display video in both full-screen and split-screen formats when equipped with a Video Input Adapter. Video sources connect via s-video or composite input. Both NTSC and PAL formats are supported for worldwide compatibility. The Video Input Adapter for SkyView will be available in August for $195. ![]() SkyView with video input ![]() Video Input Adapter for SkyView SkyView 11 Software With over 60 new features and improvements in SkyView 11, Dynon continues to advance SkyView?s state-of-the-art capabilities. As always, SkyView 11 software is available as a free update for all SkyView customers. Just a few of the new features in SkyView 11 are: [list bull-blackball][*]A pilot-selectable wide field of view mode for synthetic vision.[*]Color-coded airport weather icons on the map when equipped with an SV-ADSB-470 module.[*]The ability to synchronize the altimeter setting to the nearest station?s METAR report (requires SV-ADSB-470).[*]Support for third-party 8.33 kHz COM radios. Supported radios include the f.u.n.k.e.

Quick Panel Systems by Advanced Flight Systems Advanced Flight Systems announces its Quick Panel System, a line of complete pre-built avionics panels. Starting with VFR and IFR-equipped panels for the RV-7/9, installing an aircraft?s modern avionics and electrical system is no longer a time consuming, complicated and frustrating experience. Each system includes a well-engineered instrument panel that is professionally wired, configured, tested and ready to install.* All avionics, including the aircraft?s autopilot servos, trim servos and lights are all cleanly wired to the new Advanced Control Module. The first Advanced Quick Panels are available for purchase at Oshkosh for only $19,995. Learn more about the Quick Panel System at the AFS website. ![]() AFS Quick Panel System - Front ![]() AFS Quick Panel System - Top ![]() AFS Quick Panel System - Advanced Control Module |
That camera input is way cool!
|
Does this mean that older screens won?t work with the video input ??
|
All SkyView Touches support video in, as do all currently shipping SkyView displays. Also, SkyView displays that were manufactured in about the last year or so have the internal hardware revision that supports the video input adapter (SV-D1000 displays s/n >= 6000 and SV-D700 displays s/n >= 4000) . A SkyView Touch upgrade (that we'll be offering soon) also enables video on SV-D1000 displays older than that.

Anybody home fixing things....? Sent in a unit for repair.
|
Our support, production, and repair staff are still here and will be here during OSH. For status of a specific repair, please send us an email or give us a call.
|
Can the video input be overlaid with your PFD data in the same manner as the GRT systems?

Excellent! Please keep up the good work.

One question also out there, is what kind of camera and environment do people want to use the feature in? FLIR at night, FLIR in IMC, standard visual during the day? FLIR cameras are still pretty pricey so we're not sure how much interest there is. It sounds awesome until it comes time to write the $3,000 check for a night camera or $10,000 for an IMC camera. |
I would be interested in being able to view VGA or HDMI video out from a laptop. This way on a long cross country flight my non-pilot wife can watch a movies on the screen in front of her without having to hold her laptop the entire time. She can listen to the audio via wired or Bluetooth headsets so no interference with ATC.
:cool: |

Concerning the use of the camera input, I'm thinking a permanently mounted bullet camera for use as a taxi aid, and to ensure the prop is really clear before cranking up. Bullet cams are so cheap and light, you could have a few of them all around the airplane. Should really help with SA. |
Is the video input selectable on the Skyview display, or is it limited to one input and we'd need a separate selector?
|
The current implementation is great for taxi or watching movies. You can see it full or split screen, just not behind the PFD.
It doesn't take VGA or HDMI in (those a huge bandwidth sources), but you can get HDMI or VGA to NTSC converters if you really want to watch movies. |
advance quick panel for RV12?
When will the quick panel be available for the RV12 dual screen IFR?

Australian Maps etc..
Hi Guys,
Great news about the improved components. Maybe in a couple of years for me. In the meantime, I have AFS equip (i.e. dual 5500s) which of course you now manage, and I know Dynon is working to get the Australian DAPS, ERCs, Sectionals etc completed. Can you give us some idea on the availability time frame. Especially as the US has had these for years. I know you currently have/are working on some software versions that will manage it. I am now in flight test phase and would like to know when Australia will be included in this default functionality especially as I have been waiting and following up for nearly 1.5 years. Sorry for putting you on the spot, however, I am starting to get a little frustrated. :-) Can you advise? Keep up the good work. |

http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...d.php?t=115653 However, I will mention that the installation of a GTN in an RV-12 is going to require a second alternator on the engine. The GTN draws over 3A at idle and a lot more at peak, and a well designed electrical system in an RV-12 is already at the 16A limit with just the two EFIS screens. |

While Dynon and AFS are very much partners, we do not manage the AFS business nor control when they get various features. You will need to ask AFS when they will have Australian data. On the Dynon side, we have made no statements about Australian plates. We do always hope to expand our offerings, but we are reliant on other data providers to get data at affordable prices, and then need to get support for those data formats in our software. So, someday, but we tend to be very reserved about announcing anything before we actually have it implemented as things can change and we don't want customers to be frustrated by our estimate of a timeframe made far in advance. SkyView actually only got USA plates 10 months ago, and Europe plates 7 months ago, so all of this is actually very new. |

Older Skyview
Hello Dynon Support
Will there be some sort of trade-In or RMA type work offered to the one of us with older screens regarding the new features of Skyview Ver 11.0?? My Skyview SV-700 is not that old and with the recent updates to Skyview ( Touch, Video etc..) I'm starting to feel like I already have a dinosaur in my RV-4 :eek: Bruno rv4@videotron.ca |

Just wondering where is Dynon with the fix for their pitot heat issues. It has been months if I am not mistaking that they agreed there is an issue with it yet to resolution.
Considering that this is a safety concern, I would have hope to see something by now. Rather disappointing |

Are you planning to develop an AOA indexer, such as the one AFS offers that can be mounted on the glareshield in the pilots view?
Frank Huber |
I developed one of these for the d10a several years ago. It sold modestly and since Dynon added the audio alert, it became somewhat redundant.
Nevertheless, audio alarms can be alarming to passengers, so I developed a device that is superior to both the visual display and audio alarm... A Haptic stick shaker that works with the D1x, SkyView and G3X. It provides a progressive pre-stall warming that is hard to ignore yet does not alarm pax. It's an open source hardware design, available from MakerPlane and was demonstrated at Oshkosh. |
