For SkyView HDX systems installed under STC SA02594SE, the D30 serves as a standby flight display for SkyView’s Primary Flight Display (PFD). The D30 provides pilots with immediate Primary Flight Information (PFI) in case of a SkyView HDX system failure. It also allows pilots to cross-compare the presented PFI to ensure data integrity.
Basic Controls Operating the D30 is intuitive for people familiar with flight instrumentation. Basic operation happens via touching the actual indicators on the screen or the menu icon in the upper left corner of screen. The front bezel has an ON/OFF button (i.e., Bezel Button) and a USB-C port.
System Operation No special operating procedures are required for using the D30. Operating limitations for the D30 are listed in the 104004-000 D30 Airplane Flight Manual Supplement document at dynoncertified.com/docs. 3.3.1 Flight Indications The D30 provides the flight indications listed below. See...

Pitot and Static Connection The pitot and static ports on the back of the D30 are equipped with 1/8" NPT female fittings. Installers need to source 1/8" NPT male tube adapters and T-connectors for connection to existing pneumatic tubes. To attach pneumatic tubes to the D30: 1.
Electrical Installation The D30 is shipped with D25 female wire harness that plugs into the mating D25 male connector on the back of the unit (see Figure 8). The wire harness has designated wires for connection to airplane power and ground.
Page 26
5.3.1 Power and Ground Connection The D30 is compatible with 14V and 28V electrical systems and requires a power supply of 10– 30V DC. Power input to the D30 must be protected with at least an aviation-grade 3A circuit breaker or replaceable fuse.
3-second countdown timer. After countdown, unit will shut-down. 5.4.2 Setup Menu Access Installers will need to enter the D30's Setup Menu to perform the initial setup configuration tasks. To enter the D30 Setup Menu: 1. Make sure power is not applied to unit.
Page 28
Installers need to configure the system settings per installation, airplane limitations, and user preference. To configure the D30 system settings: 1. Enter Setup Menu (see Section 5.4.2), and then select Settings. 2. Refer to aircraft's POH and configure system settings. See...

This section provides information and procedures for troubleshooting issues with the Dynon D30. Self-Diagnostics The D30 includes limited self-diagnostic capability. If a fault or other condition is detected, a message and/or icon is displayed on the screen. The following provides a possible cause and recommended action for each message.
Page 32
MESSAGE / ICON CAUSE RECOMMENDED ACTION The D30 has detected an internal issue in its firmware or calibration tables. Contact Dynon Technical Support. The internal ADAHRS sensors are malfunctioning. DO NOT fly airplane! Unit Does Not Start-up If unit does not start-up, thoroughly check electrical connections, and retry. If unit still does not start-up, contact Dynon Technical Support.
Maintenance This section provides information and procedures for maintaining the Dynon D30. Periodic Maintenance Table 4 for maintenance tasks that must be performed routinely. Table 5: Periodic Maintenance TASK FREQUENCY DESCRIPTION / PROCEDURE Backup Battery Test Once Every 12 See Section 7.3.
EFIS devices effectively and without damage. The D30 screen and bezel screen can also be cleaned with a soft cotton cloth dampened with clean water. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents. Take care to not scratch surface of display.
Backup Battery Replacement If the backup battery needs replacement, it can be replaced in the field. Replacement batteries (Dynon P/N 504103-000) are available from Dynon Avionics or an authorized dealer. To replace the D30 backup battery: 1. Remove unit per instructions in Section 7.5.
Unit Removal and Replacement This section provides procedures for removing and replacing the D30 with and without electrical and pneumatic disconnection. To remove and replace the D30 without disconnection: 1. Make sure airplane power is disconnected. 2. Use 3/32" hex wrench to loosen retaining screw that secures unit to mount bracket (see Figure 11).

12. Unplug and connect pitot and static tubes to corresponding tube adapters on back of unit. 13. Plug harness connector into mating connector on back of unit (see Figure 12), and then hand-tighten retention screws to secure. 14. Carefully slide unit into instrument panel. 15.
Zero-pressure Calibration This calibration samples pitot and static pressures. This calibration needs to be performed during initial setup to calibrate airspeed, and as needed if airspeed indicator appears incorrect. This calibration should be performed in a windless environment to provide the best possible Indicated Airspeed (IAS) readings at very low airspeeds.
Altimeter Function Testing & Altitude Offset The D30’s altimeter function must be tested in accordance with 14 CFR, Part 43, Appendix E by a certified technician or facility. When performing the Altimeter Function Test, put the D30 into Pitot Static Test Mode.
USB drive or will not be recognizable by the D30. To update system software: 1. While D30 is OFF, use a USB-C adapter to insert USB drive into USB-C port on D30 bezel. 2. Turn D30 ON and wait, and then follow on-screen instructions.
