Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Dynon Avionics SkyView system.
This chapter provides some important cautionary information and general usage instructions
for this guide.
The printed version of this guide is in grayscale. Some figures and diagrams contain important
color information. Reference the electronic version of this guide to view it in color.
Before You Fly
We strongly recommended that you read this entire guide before attempting to use SkyView in
an actual flying situation. Additionally, we encourage you to spend time on the ground
familiarizing yourself with the operation of the system. While first learning to use the system in
the air, we recommend you have a backup pilot with you in the aircraft. Finally, we encourage
you to keep this guide in the aircraft with you at all times. This document is designed to give
you quick access to information that might be needed in flight.
In a flying situation, it is the
pilot’s responsibilit
y to use the system and the guide prudently.
Warning
Dynon Avionics

products incorporate a variety of precise, sensitive electronics. SkyView
products do not contain any field/user-serviceable parts. Units found to have been taken apart
may not be eligible for repair under warranty. Additionally, once a Dynon Avionics unit is
opened up, it is not considered airworthy and must be serviced at the factory.
Video and In-person Training
This guide is intended to familiarize a new SkyView pilot with the basics of operating a SkyView
system. No printed (or electronic) guide, such as this,
can substitute for “seeing it in action
,
”
and thus Dynon Avionics provides an online collection of instructional videos; including a
complete SkyView operations course - see
www.dynonavionics.com/videos
. These videos help
new owners quickly learn the basics so they can safely start flying with the system. Also, current
SkyView owners can gain in-depth knowledge of many of the more advanced or complex
features.
Dynon Avionics provides hands-on training classes to help you in your transition to new
SkyView system. These are typically half-day courses, sitting in front of live SkyView displays
combined with in-depth instruction on how to operate SkyView. Visit our training page at

for details on upcoming classes.
