SkyView SE
Pilot’s User Guide
- Revision B
8-9
Because SkyView SE has no mapping, flight planning or navigation capability, it relies on a single
aviation database as the source of airport frequency information for access by the Dynon COM
radio. While that aviation data file contains various other airport information, the data is
disregarded in SkyView SE systems.
All SkyView SE displays are shipped with the free US aviation data file installed. SkyView SE
customers in other parts of the world using the Dynon COM radio would need to obtain and
load an aviation data file from one of the other sources listed below.
Each of the aviation data sources discussed below includes obstacles data either
contained in the same download file or in a separate file that can be downloaded
together with the aviation data. However, SkyView SE does not support the use or
display of obstacles data. If your download file includes obstacles data, it will be
imported together with the aviation data file, but the obstacle data will be ignored
by SkyView SE.
