  • Page 9: Introduction

    Reference the electronic version of this guide to view it in color. Before You Fly We strongly recommended that you read this entire guide before attempting to use SkyView SE in an actual flying situation. Additionally, we encourage you to spend time on the ground familiarizing yourself with the operation of the system.
  • Page 10 SE training and feature videos. These videos help new owners quickly learn the basics so they can safely start flying with the system. Also, current SkyView / SkyView SE owners can gain in-depth knowledge of many of the more advanced or complex features.

  • Page 11: System Overview

    VFR aircraft, especially those transitioning from familiar “steam gauges”. This chapter provides a general overview of the various parts of SkyView SE as well as a theory of operation. The information in this chapter serves as a reference only and helps familiarize you with the inner workings of the units.
  • Page 12 Each SkyView SE display ships with a USB flash drive for use in these instances. Note that only one USB flash drive memory stick can be connected to a SkyView SE display at a time.

    Data Logging SkyView SE displays with Software version 14.1 or higher have the ability to record and store flight information in two logs for export by the user. The User Data Log recording rate can be configured by the user in the SkyView Setup Menu. For more information on configuration, retrieval, and analysis see the SkyView Classic / SE / HDX System Installation Guide .

  • Page 14: Mag-236

    The SkyView SE artificial horizon display (attitude) is generated via a complex algorithm using a multitude of sensors as described in Table 2. In normal operation SkyView SE uses airspeed to provide superior attitude accuracy. Should airspeed become unavailable due to inadvertent pitot icing, GPS ground speed will be used as an attitude aid.

    3. SV-D600 and SV-D900 Operation After reading this chapter, you should be familiar with basic SkyView SE display operation. For details regarding specific procedures (e.g., adjusting the barometer), refer to the PFD and EMS operation chapters. The SkyView SE SV-D600 and SV-D900 displays are identical in functionality and presentation.

  • Page 25 How to Manually Adjust the Backlight Brightness or Dim Level SkyView SE’s display backlighting is controlled by its ambient light sensor to actively adjust the brightness based on the current lighting conditions in the cockpit. The brightness is synchronized across multiple displays and SkyView network panel mounted modules (COM Radio and Knob Control Panel).

Screen Layout Configuration SkyView SE can display 4 combinations of PFD and Engine data in full-screen and partial-screen configurations as well as distribute this data across multiple displays. Each display in the system can also have its own layout.

  • Page 27: Backup Battery Charging And Testing

    Backup Battery Charging and Testing In the event of an electrical failure that causes SkyView SE to run on the SV-BAT-320, the SV- BAT-320 supplies power to the SkyView SE display it is connected to, along with any connected SV-ADAHRS-26X, SV-EMS-220, and SV-GPS-250 or -2020 modules.
  • Page 28 SV-D600 and SV-D900 Operation Backup Battery Status SkyView SE performs an automatic 30 second self-test of the battery every time a SkyView SE display is shut down normally when master power is turned off after a flight. Additionally, a manually-actuated discharge test should be performed annually when prompted by SkyView.

  • Page 29: Pfd Operation

    4. PFD Operation One of the main functions of SkyView SE is its Primary Flight Display (PFD). This chapter highlights the layout of the PFD page, its symbology, and contains instructions for adjusting bugs. SkyView’s PFD requires data from an SV-ADAHRS-200/201 module. If installed, SkyView’s heading will be determined by the SV-MAG-236 Remote Magnetometer.

  • Page 30: Pfd Symbology

    PFD Symbology Bugs The SkyView SE PFD makes use of heading (or track), altitude, and vertical speed bugs. Note that the altitude, vertical speed, and heading (or track) bugs are used for autopilot control if Autopilot servos are installed. Instructions for setting bugs are detailed in subsequent sections of this guide.
  • Page 31 Attitude indicator symbology is displayed on PFD and incorporates a roll scale with roll pointers and a zero pointer reference, pitch scale with horizon lines, and water line symbology. Figure 13 is an example SkyView attitude indicator. SkyView SE Pilot’s User Guide - Revision I...

The bug is displayed in cyan on the inner edge of the compass rose. The digital display of the bug is displayed to the lower left of the compass rose.
  • Page 38 PFD Operation When a valid external VFR GPS navigation source is connected to your SkyView SE system, its data can be displayed on and around the heading indicator in a standard HSI presentation.

    The SV-XPNDR-261/262 has no control head. Rather it is exclusively controlled by accessing the transponder submenu (XPNDR - Button 5 – on SkyView SE’s main menu). This allows the transponder to be mounted separately from the instrument panel, and reduces the amount of panel space taken by the transponder.
