Geo-Referenced Procedure Charts and Airport Diagrams
US Procedure Charts
Support for US Approach/Departure Procedure charts (commonly called plates) and US airport
diagrams from Seattle Avionics was added in SkyView 7.0. Support for enroute charts was
added to SkyView in version 10.0. US Data is available from Seattle Avionics:
•
Geo-referenced Approach/Departure Procedure Charts.
•
Geo-referenced Airport Diagrams. Includes all FAA airport diagrams and
approximately 5000 Flight Guide airport diagrams.
•
Enroute Charts, including VFR sectional/world area/terminal area charts (that are
each automatically shown based on map zoom) and both IFR Low and High charts.
European Procedure Chart Options
European enroute and procedure charts (commonly called plates) are available from
PocketFMS. Support for European charts and airport diagrams was added to SkyView in version
7.1. The data sets vary from country to country. In addition to procedure charts and airport
diagrams, the visual approach, landing, and area charts critical to flight in Europe are available
for many countries. We encourage you to contact PocketFMS directly to best understand what
exact charts are offered in your area.
Other Chart Options
With the new chart format introduced in software version 13.0, other chart providers have
introduced support for SkyView. AvPlanEFB and OzRunways have introduced compatible
enroute and in some cases procedure charts. Please see their websites for additional
information.
Charts on USB Memory Stick
Unlike other databases that are stored in SkyView’s internal drive, all charts and airport
diagrams, because of their large size, must be stored on a USB memory stick that remains
connected to SkyView during use.
To utilize this feature, you'll need a suitable USB memory stick for each SkyView display in the
aircraft. Dynon Avionics recommends 16 GB or larger USB memory sticks.
USB memory sticks such as the SanDisk Cruzer Fit series are so short and light that they actually
could be mistaken for a USB port "cap". When connected to SkyView's USB harness, rear USB
ports, or other panel-mounted ports, they protrude only a few millimeters from the USB port.
These are available from retailers such as Amazon:
