Setting up AOA Dynon

[Hornet2008]

Hi all, new to AOA and have it installed on my Skyview. Question do I set up stall speed clean or with full flaps?

I set mine up for the landing configuration, full flaps.

This, to me, is one of the very few gaping holes in the Skyview system...it has no ability to take into account flap position when displaying/sounding the AOA information/alarms.

So it must be different for the older Dynon D-180. I read where it says to do it with flaps and without flaps. That would also make more sense because if it's only with flaps it won't work well when doing an accelerated stall like on take off or on a go around after you raise the flaps.

My AFS/Dynon setup came with a very detailed in flight calibration procedure for the AOA .
I have a copy if you need it.

Yes, it's different, because *it's not a D-180*. Sigh.

Yes, if it's calibrated with flaps full, it won't work properly with flaps up. That was my point, and as I said, one of the very few things in the SV system I wish they'd fix.

All the installation and user manuals are available on the Dynon website, BTW.

Thank you for being so condescending, you reminded me of my daughter when she was growing up and sighed at me, once. Hasn't done it since.

Having you here on the forums now will make everything a lot faster to find, we'll all just ask you since you know everything about everything.

Well, I know that the OP was asking about how to set up his AOA on a *Skyview* EFIS.

Sigh.

Thanks for all the replies, found some on the Dynon forums also. Great help, plan on setting it up tomorrow for landing full flaps.

Exactly so he wasn't sure how to do it. What if he missed something? I was just letting him know mine MIGHT be different (because I don't know everything) in order for him to verify as it seems it hadn't read how to do it.
