Introduction to this Guide This guide provides an overview of the installation of a Dynon Avionics SkyView system as a conversion from an installed Dynon Avionics EFIS system: EFIS-D6, EFIS-D10A, EFIS-D60, EFIS-D100, and the EFIS portion of the Dynon Avionics FlightDEK-D180. This guide provides an overview of the installation of a Dynon Avionics SkyView system as a conversion from an installed Dynon Avionics EMS system: EMS-D10, EMS-D120, and the EMS portion of the Dynon Avionics FlightDEK-D180.

Major Differences Between Dynon Avionics EFIS, EMS, and SkyView There is no integration or communication between Dynon Avionics EFIS and EMS units and SkyView Because of the enhanced capabilities of SkyView, there is no “backwards compatibility” for SkyView systems to be able to communicate or interoperate with a Dynon Avionics EFIS or EMS.
Page 9
Redundancy / failover is integral to SkyView A SkyView system is more network-centric and redundant than an EFIS and EMS. Many of the specific recommendations for installing a SkyView system focus on maintaining redundancy. SkyView is designed to minimize single point failures, provided redundant units are installed.
Page 10
Dynon Avionics strongly recommends the installation of its SV-GPS-250 and/or its SV- GPS-2020 in a SkyView system because it offers numerous advantages versus panel- mounted or portable GPS units: The SV-GPS-250 transmits position updates 5x/second (5 Hz). The SV-GPS-2020 transmits position updates 4x/second (4 Hz).
More flexible engine monitoring Dynon’s EMS units had three general purpose inputs; the SkyView SV-EMS-220 has thirteen general purpose inputs, and adds two voltmeter inputs, built-in differential fuel flow measurement , compatibility with low-voltage tachometer signals, and much more. SkyView Compatibilities with Dynon Avionics EFIS and EMS Systems SkyView is compatible with the following Dynon Avionics accessories that may be part of a Dynon Avionics EFIS or EMS system: ...

SkyView display(s). The functionality of the knobs and buttons on the HS34 are integrated into the SkyView display. The Analog Resolver, DME, Marker, etc. inputs and outputs present on the HS34 are not available in SkyView. Internal Li-Ion Backup Battery – SkyView is not compatible with the (internal) backup battery used in Dynon Avionics EFIS units.
SkyView Mechanical Installation Considerations Complete, detailed mechanical installation details, including dimensioned mechanical drawings, for installing a SkyView system are in the SkyView System Installation Guide. The SV-D700 (7” SkyView display) is slightly larger than the mounting bracket for a Dynon Avionics EFIS-D60, EFIS-D100, EMS-D120, or FlightDEK-D180, so some panel rework will be required to install an SV-D700 in place of those units.
General Electrical Installation Considerations Complete electrical installation details for installing a SkyView system are in the SkyView System Installation Guide. SkyView systems require more electrical power (current) than a Dynon Avionics EFIS or EMS system - circuit breakers and main wiring, and perhaps even alternator / generator and batteries may need to be upgraded.
Guidelines for Conversion of Dynon Avionics EFIS Harness to SkyView Display SV-HARNESS-D37 As previously mentioned, the EFIS Primary Wiring Harness cannot be adapted for use a SkyView system, and will be removed from the aircraft. This chart explains the signals and wires connected to the EFIS Primary Wiring Harness connecting to other devices that must be rerouted to a SV-HARNESS-D37.

Guidelines for Conversion of AP74 Dedicated Autopilot Interface Module to SV-HARNESS-D37 As previously mentioned, the AP74 is not used in the SkyView system. This chart explains the signals and wires (only the audio) that, if used, must be rerouted for conversion to a SkyView SV-HARNESS-D37.
Guidelines for Conversion of Dynon Avionics Autopilot Servos The primary change for a servo converting to SkyView is that the servo’s White/Blue and White/Green wires (unused in Dynon Avionics EFIS systems) now need to be brought forward to connect to the SkyView Network along with the Blue and Green wires that previously connected to the EFIS and EMS DSAB network.
Guidelines for Conversion of Accessories The Dynon Avionics Heated AOA Pitot Probe Controller includes an output that is used to indicate failure of the heating system. Because of limited inputs on a Dynon Avionics EMS, this circuit was often wired to a separate indicator light. Because SkyView SV- EMS-220 has more available inputs, it is common to connect the “Heater Failure”...
