SV-GPS-2020
The SV-GPS-2020 GPS Receiver module is an optional externally mounted 4 Hz WAAS enabled
GPS receiver designed specifically for use with SkyView
to meet the requirements of the FAA’s
2020 ADS-B Out mandate. It supplies GPS data in NMEA format and automatically sets the time
on SkyView.
The SV-GPS-
2020’s WAAS capability does not allow it to be used as a primary
navigation
source in an IFR environment where a TSO’d WAAS GPS may be
required. It does mean that it utilizes the WAAS GPS satellite to improve its
positional accuracy compared to a non-WAAS enabled GPS.
SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery
The SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery is an optional backup battery for use with SkyView. It can
power a typical SkyView display and most of its connected modules for at least 60 minutes in
the event of failure of the aircraft electrical system.
Autopilot Servos
SV32, SV42, and SV52 servos enable SkyView to operate as an autopilot.
Navigation Mapping Software (SV-MAP-270)
SkyView has a robust navigation mapping option that is enabled by a one-time licensing of your
SkyView system. Aviation and Obstacle data is available for free for US-based customers, and is
available via Jeppesen and PocketFMS for other customer worldwide. Additionally, when this
option is equipped, SkyView can display VFR and IFR enroute charts, procedure charts (plates),
and airport diagrams through subscriptions from either Seattle Avionics or PocketFMS. See the
SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software section of this guide for further details about
SkyView’s mapping capability. Prior to August, 2016, the SV
-MAP-270 was an optional feature
of SkyView. After August, 2016 the equivalent function of the SV-MAP-270 is included with each
new SkyView display.
SV-XPNDR-26X
The SV-XPNDR-261 (Class 1) and SV-XPNDR-
262 (Class 2) are TSO’d remote mounted Mode
-S
transponder modules that, in addition to their transponder capability, contain ADS-B Out
capability via 1090 ES, and TIS traffic input capability (US Only).
SV-ADSB-470/472
The SV-ADSB-470 and SV-ADSB-472 receive traffic and weather information from the Automatic
Dependent Surveillance
