Flight test results
The weather and work Gods finally conspired together and allowed me to test my GTN 650/Dynon Skyview combo. After a thorough review of the 650 and Dynon manuals, I am happy to report that both the ILS and LPV features (both vertical and lateral) worked flawlessly. I flew two ILS and two LPV approaches, one each hand flown and one each with the autopilot coupled. In order to hand fly either approach the appropriate source had to be placed in the 650 and the NAV button had to be pressed on the Skyview Autopilot Control Panel. The NAV button acts as an Approach button. In order for the autopilot to fly the vertical portion of the approach, the VNAV button had to be pressed as well. Both the ILS and LVP autopilot flown approaches were smooth and within a quarter of one degree of deflection even though it was quite bouncy. Thank you for all the responses and advise!!!
