Default IPC with Dynon Assist

Exiting the hold on the last approach on my IPC in my RV9 with Dynon and Garmin leading the way. Every time I fly this stuff I'm just amazed with the capability of this equipment and I learn something new. When I first learned this IFR stuff I had a LORAN in the panel and thought I was ace of the base!!!

Glad to see South Texas coming alive with RV's. Though I'll probably never live there again, I was bourn and raised in Donna!

Default Practicle knowledge

Ted,
Excellent, please could I get your real-world answer to a couple questions. I fly IFR now with a Garmin 430 and steam gauges.

1. Does the Dynon screen show HSI and Approach Plate?
2. Is the HSI info coming from the Garmin 430?
3. If you didn't have a Garmin 430W would the Dynon still be able to display and fly the approach? I know not legal /G but will it do it?
4. Does NAV receiver data for the ILS or Loc data also display on the Dynon HSI?

I'm trying to decide if I need a Garmin GPS (TSOed) or is the Dynon capability good enough and just use Nav receiver for VOR, ILS, Loc etc to make it legal IFR. Not /G but still legal, basically.

Steve simple answers to your questions
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes NOT IFR LEGAL & no vertical guidance
4. Yes

You don't know what you're missing until you fly a fully coupled approach to the missed, hit the TOGA button and fly the missed approach all with just a hand on the throttle. Amazing!!!!
(I still keep the other hand right near that disconnect button cause you never know when some of those electrons are gonna revolt)

Don - how about right after I get a ride in Airforce 1? LOL

I'll give you a call and we'll set up your personal skyview demo. Maybe after the next meeting? You do need to have some new shoes tho or no deal.

Legalities aside, the Skyview system by itself will only fly from waypoint to waypoint; it doesn't know anything about approaches or holds. You'll need to manually enter the waypoints on the approach (or squirt them in via ForeFlight).

Garmin has (had?) a substantial price break on the gtn650 if you buy it with s g3x

If you are attempting to fly a GPS approach, that's not legal (which you kind of say up front) so why go there?
