  • Page 17: Introduction

    When a SkyView system is connected to products not manufactured or provided by Dynon Avionics (such as NAV radios and GPS receivers), it is often necessary to refer to those product’s technical/installation manuals/guides to configure their settings and their wiring to be compatible with your SkyView system.

  • Page 18: Printing This Manual

    This icon denotes information that merits special attention. This icon denotes a helpful installation tip. If your aircraft was built using components not provided by Dynon Avionics (such as harnesses), some information provided in this manual may not be applicable. For example, some manufacturers prefer to build harnesses that do not adhere to the wire color codes of harnesses manufactured by Dynon Avionics.

  • Page 19: Installation Record

    It is the responsibility of the mechanic or facility performing the installation to record where each component of the SkyView system has been installed in the airplane. This record should be entered into airplane’s permanent record. Dynon Avionics provides a document template (103777-000 SkyView HDX System Equipment Installation Record) to complete the record.

    Instrument Panel Design Instrument Panel Design Installing SkyView HDX necessitates the design and fabrication of a new instrument panel to mount the SkyView panel-mounted equipment. This section provides quantified and qualified regulatory guidance, as well as volumetric requirements for the SkyView panel- mounted equipment to help you decide where to locate equipment on the instrument panel.

  • Page 44: Instrument Panel Material Requirements

    To maintain structural integrity of the aluminum instrument panel, make sure the instrument panel design incorporates a minimum 3/4" (0.75") edge margin around the perimeter of all cutouts for SkyView HDX displays. Additionally, design all replacement instrument panels in accordance with the guidance for sheet metal thickness in Table 8.
