SkyView HDX is an integrated system that aggregates air, engine, traffic, and navigation information for display to the pilot. The information is portrayed on the SkyView HDX display, which is a touchscreen, coupled with mechanical knobs and buttons. The SkyView HDX display provides Primary Flight Information (PFI) on the Primary Flight Display (PFD), Map with current position, and optionally Engine Monitoring information.

System Overview SkyView HDX Display Units The SkyView HDX display unit installed in the pilot's position is designated the Primary Display. It is configured during initial setup to always present PFD. It can also present Map and Engine Monitoring. Additional installed display units (referred to as Secondary Displays) have no PFD restrictions and can present any combination of PFD, Map, or Engine Monitoring.
Traffic Information SkyView HDX can display traffic information on the PFD and on the Map. The presentation of traffic information is for advisory purposes only and must not be used as a sole means of avoidance.

Weather Information SkyView HDX can display weather information on the Map, including lightning and PIREPS. Display of traffic information is for advisory purposes only and must not be used as a sole means of avoidance. The display of weather information is enabled from the IN-FLIGHT MENU under WEATHER OPTIONS.
7.10 Flight Crew Alerting System The Flight Crew Alerting System is a central feature of the SkyView HDX system. This system provides the pilot and crew with system information organized by condition priority for all installed SkyView HDX sub-systems. The alerts and messages will vary depending upon the installed equipment.
