The SkyView System

You want to fly your plane, not mess with a computer. From the beginning, Dynon pilots designed SkyView HDX to have a clean and intuitive pilot interface through its on-screen buttons and joystick knobs. Whether you're new to glass cockpit technology or fly 777s at work, SkyView HDX is made for you.

A SkyView HDX system starts with the display, available in 10" and 7" sizes. Mix and match up to 3 displays in your panel. Add components and modules to tailor the system to your aircraft mission.

SkyView HDX glass panel avionics

SkyView HDX features improved displays, beautiful design, unrivaled control ergonomics, and an upgraded touch interface. Displays are compatible with all existing SkyView components and feature identical mounting profiles and electrical connections.

Corgi Aviation Trim Servos

NEW Corgi Trim Servos

Corgi servos are designed to electrically move trim control surfaces and other systems in homebuilt and other light aircraft applications. In modern homebuilt and light sport aircraft, they are commonly installed alongside complete avionics + autopilot systems such as those available from Dynon and Advanced Flight Systems.

SkyViews Primary and secondary flight instruments

SkyView Secondary ADAHRS Module

The secondary ADAHRS provides a completely redundant sensor suite to the SkyView system. When installed, SkyView will automatically compare the output signals from both the Primary and Secondary ADAHRS, and alert you when they do not match each other, allowing you to choose the correctly operating ADAHRS to use for the remainder of the flight.

SkyViews Primary and secondary flight instruments

SkyView Remote Magnetometer Module

It can be difficult in small airplanes to find a location ideal for both the attitude sensors and the magnetic sensor when they are combined in one electronic module. The SkyView Remote Magnetometer solves this problem by providing a second system magnetometer that can be mounted away from any sources of interference.

SkyView's Engine Monitoring System module

SkyView Engine Monitoring System (EMS) Modules

The SkyView EMS modules receive signals from engine and airframe sensors, processes their data, and then provides this information to SkyView for displaying on-screen. Dynon provides two SkyView EMS modules optimized for your engine make and model.

Terrain Data

Terrain Data

SkyView's free worldwide terrain data is the highest resolution available. Terrain colors are designed to look similar to charts while you're en route. They alert in vibrant yellow and red when altitude clearance is a factor.

Dynon uniquely offers a variety of installation aids intended to dramatically reduce the time it takes to install the SkyView electronic modules by eliminating the need to:

  • Decide upon a location to mount each module
  • Design the custom brackets for mounting each module
  • Fabricate the brackets
  • Install the brackets to the structure

SkyView Possibilities

You'd be surprised what you can fit in your aircraft when you choose SkyView. The widescreen format was designed to integrate perfectly in aircraft panels, which are often height-limited. SkyView's bezels were intentionally made as narrow as possible so that even the tightest panels have room for two or even three displays. The RV-8 panels on this page are examples of what you can accomplish in narrow tandem seat aircraft.

Light and Sporty

Light and Sporty

Looking for a simple, clean VFR panel for your sport aircraft? A single 10" SkyView SE Display can do everything you need, with all controls easily accessible on the front panel. The menu system is intuitive and logical to use. The left and right joystick knobs make it fast and easy to make adjustments and navigate the map. Opt for SkyView HDX and it's even easier to use.

Weekend Warrior

Weekend Warrior

Just because you're in a sporty tandem aircraft doesn't mean you can't also have the capability to fly through weather. A configuration like this, with dual displays, redundant ADAHRS, battery backup, and an IFR navigator equips you for legal, safe IFR flight.

Cross-Country Cruiser

Cross-Country Cruiser

Want a cross-country panel with more features for long distance travel? A second display makes navigating easier and is also a great backup. Add a control panel with dedicated knobs for Altitude, Barometer, and Heading/Track so they are always there for quick adjustments. The autopilot control panel adds immediate control of all autopilot modes.

The Airliner

The Airliner

We admit, it's a lot of panel. But it's possible and extremely capable. SkyView's architecture supports configurations that span from a single display all the way up through what is shown here. In fact, the Sportsman that several Dynon pilots co-own has this same three-screen configuration. Please ask one of us about it!
