Dynon Introduces SkyView 7.0 With Charts

New Version Also Includes Airport Diagrams And Enhanced Moving Map Features

Dynon Avionics released its latest addition to SkyView’s Navigation tool box: Geo-Referenced Approach/Departure Charts, Airport Diagrams, and enhancements to SkyView’s moving map. With these new features, Dynon is able to offer experimental and LSA pilots a “paperless” cockpit.

SkyView’s new charting capabilities allow pilots to quickly find and display the procedures they need during flight, all while showing the aircraft’s position and track on the chart itself. With the touch of a button, SkyView automatically loads the airport diagram while on the ground.

In the US, this release includes procedure charts: IFR departures, arrivals, approaches, Hot Spots, Land and Hold Short Operations, and supplemental text. Airport diagrams include both the official FAA diagrams as well as Flight Guide’s set of nearly 5,000 extremely detailed airport diagrams for virtually every public-use airport in the US. They include locations and names for FBOs, fuel stations, and more, as well as runways and taxiways. Most charts and diagrams are geo-referenced, which allows SkyView to display the aircraft’s location superimposed on each chart. Detailed coverage information is available from Seattle Avionics – Dynon’s data partner for this feature.

Currently this feature is only available in the U.S.

SkyView’s Moving Map also receives major enhancements in version 7.0. In addition to its current ability to pan the map for situational awareness, SkyView now provides instant information about airports, obstacles, navaids, waypoints, and airspaces, simply by choosing items with the map pointer. When selected, items are highlighted on-screen and are accompanied by a useful data block that shows relevant information about the feature, all without any additional button pushing. This is particularly useful to highlight individual airspace segments in busy parts of the country that have multiple airspaces overlaid on top of each other.

Other features included in this release are built in count-up / count-down timers, as well as a fuel tank switch reminder that can be configured to alert on either elapsed time or fuel consumption. Air Route Traffic Control Center and Flight Service Station frequencies are now available from within SkyView (U.S. FAA data only).
