Introduction This manual provides instructions to install, configure, and maintain SkyView HDX System autopilot servos in unmodified Cessna 172 Model Series F–S airplanes. Any airplane configurations that require modifications to areas in the airplane where autopilot servos are installed are not addressed in this manual. The SkyView HDX System autopilot servo settings are available for download as a configuration file that is loaded into the SkyView HDX display unit.
Installation Compliance Airplanes on the AML meet a minimum required configuration for applicability of the STC. However, some airplanes may have been modified, and consequently, it may be difficult to use the information in this manual to completely substantiate the installation in compliance with the STC.
Materials This section provides information about the materials used in installation of Roll and Pitch servos in unmodified Cessna 172 Model Series F–S airplanes. 2.1 Roll Servo Installation Materials The materials identified in Table 1 are required to install the Roll servo. Item numbers are used as figure call-outs in Section 7.1 Roll Servo Parts and Assemblies and Section...
2.2 Pitch Servo Installation Materials The materials identified in Table 2 are required to install a Pitch servo. Item numbers are used as figure call-outs in Section 7.3 Pitch Servo Parts and Assemblies and Section 7.4 Pitch Servo Installation.

Roll Servo Mounting Bracketry Installation This section details how to assemble and temporarily install the Roll Servo mounting bracketry. Refer to Section 6 Continued Airworthiness to remove or install a roll servo after bracket installation is complete. Refer to Section 5 Servo Electrical Wiring for roll servo wiring information.

Complete the following to position and temporarily install Upper and Lower Roll Servo Brackets: Attach upper and lower brackets to roll servo (see Figure 4). Do not fully tighten fasteners yet. Make sure upper bracket is in lowest (retracted) position allowed by its mounting slots.
Pitch Servo Mounting Bracketry Installation This section details how to assemble and install the Pitch Servo mounting bracketry. Refer to Section 6 Continued Airworthiness to remove or install a Pitch Servo after bracket installation is complete. Refer to Section 5 Servo Electrical Wiring for Pitch Servo wiring information.
4.3 Vertical Bracket Positioning and Temporary Installation Complete the following to assemble, position, and temporarily install the Pitch Servo Vertical Bracket Assembly: Temporarily attach pitch servo, idler pulley, and pulley guard to vertical bracket (see Figure 21). Position vertical bracket assembly so that lower flange of vertical bracket rests on base bracket (see Figure 22).
Complete the following to permanently install the Pitch Servo Bracket Assembly in the airplane: Position pitch servo bracket assembly in airplane, and then attach with cleco-style fasteners Position left and right angle braces against base bracket flanges and FS108.00 bulkhead, and then attach with cleco-style fasteners. Use #21 drill to finalize holes in base bracket flanges, angle brace lower flanges, and airplane skin, removing cleco-style fasteners as you proceed.
Servo Electrical Wiring This section provides details about the electrical installation of autopilot servos. Dynon Avionics offers a wire harness kit (SV-NET-SERVO) to simplify the process of electrically connecting autopilot servos to the SkyView HDX Network and airplane power. Contact Dynon Sales for more information.
• Black (pin 2) wire to common airframe ground. • Yellow (pin 3) wire to Autopilot Disconnect (A/P DISC) button on instrument panel or yoke. Secure wires to ensure they do not chafe or interfere with the airplane's flight controls or other moving components. 5.3 Electrical Connection To connect an autopilot servo to the airplane's electrical system: Make sure airplane power is disconnected.
Continued Airworthiness This section provides detailed Continued Airworthiness information for SkyView HDX autopilot servos. 6.1 Roll Servo Removal and Installation This section details how to remove and install a Roll Servo. Before installing a Roll Servo, verify the aileron control cables are rigged and tensioned to the airplane manufacturer’s specifications.

DO NOT bend cable guard flanges away from capstan. They are intended to keep bridle cable from jumping grooves. 14. Ensure aileron cables are clean and free of dirt and grease before installing cable clamps. 15. Perform one of the following: •...
6.2 Pitch Servo Removal and Installation This section details how to remove and install a Pitch Servo. Before installing a Pitch Servo, verify that the elevator control cables are rigged and tensioned to the airplane manufacturer’s specifications. Installers should consider printing the figures in Section and keeping them on- hand as they perform removal and installation.

Set cable swage into swage hole and pass the other end of the bridle cable under opposite cable guard flange (see Figure 28 Figure 29). Following grooves, feed both cable ends around capstan and underneath next set of cable guard flanges (see Figure 28 Figure 29).
6.3 Servo Calibration Procedure Servo calibration cannot be performed without an SV-ADAHRS-200 module installed and configured in the SkyView HDX System and Network. V-speeds must also be correctly entered in the SkyView HDX System. The servo calibration procedure identifies the orientation and range of motion of each servo and must be performed before the servo test procedure.
