SkyView System Installation Guide - Dynon Avionics

System PlanningGeneral System Installation TipsAircraft construction involves a variety of processes that create debris that candamage Dynon Avionics components. Metalwork, in particular, will producemetallic shavings and dust that may damage or destroy the electronics in DynonAvionics products if they are contaminated with this debris. Care should be takento ensure that Dynon Products are kept away from aircraft construction debris.Damaged caused by the introduction outside particulates will not be repairedunder warranty.Do not physically modify Dynon SkyView displays or modules in any way that is notspecified in this manual. Damage caused to Dynon products due to physicalmodifications will not be repaired under warranty.Installing SkyView in an IFR-Equipped AircraftIf you are equipping an aircraft that is capable of being flown in IFR/IMC conditions, DynonAvionics makes the following recommendations:The entirety of the instrument panel and supporting avionics systems and instrumentationshould be designed so that the display of information essential for continued safe flight andlanding will remain available to the pilot after any single failure or probable combination offailures. In other words, a usable "partial-panel" of primary flight instruments should bepreserved in the event of the failure of a SkyView display, systems that support it, or otherinstruments in the aircraft.This level of redundancy can be obtained in different ways. For example, one could utilizemultiple SkyView displays (with SV-BAT-320 backup batteries attached) including multipleADAHRS units connected to protect against the failure of any single display, ADAHRS, or theelectrical system. Flight instrument redundancy could also be preserved by using other separateand independent systems such as the Dynon EFIS-D6. Some builders may elect to combineSkyView with other more conventional “steam” gauges such as mechanical airspeed, altitude,and attitude indicators.To protect against aircraft electrical failures and anomalies, Dynon Avionics STRONGLYRECOMMENDS that each SkyView display has an SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery connected to it.SkyView’s attitude algorithm normally uses airspeed to provide superior accuracy. If a problemdevelops with your airspeed reading due to mechanical blockage of pitot, disconnection ofpitot, or other pitot/static issues, a properly connected and configured GPS source acts as asubstitute. Dynon SkyView systems typically have one or more GPS sources connected toenable Synthetic Vision and Mapping capabilities, but a primary and backup GPS connection isespecially important to preserve the attitude indication in the event of loss of airspeedinformation in IFR aircraft.2-4 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision O
