A thorough explanation of AOA and the principles of operation of Dynon Avionics’ AOA Pitot
probe are beyond the scope of this guide. Detailed information about AOA and Dynon Avionics’
approach to AOA is available at
www.dynonavionics.com/docs/SkyView_AoA.html
.
OAT
Outside air temperature (OAT) as shown in Figure 42 is displayed in the very
lower-right corner of the PFD. Units can be set to degrees Fahrenheit or degrees
Celsius. Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide for instructions on
how to change the displayed units. If OAT is not valid (i.e., out of range,
disconnected or damaged), then "OAT ---" is displayed.
Synthetic Vision (SYNVIS)
Synthetic Vision depictions of terrain, runways, obstacles, and other information
are meant as informational aids only. These depictions should not be used as the
primary means for obtaining situational awareness of these features in flight.
Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Dynon cannot independently
verify the accuracy of terrain data at all geographical points.
When valid GPS data is available, the PFD features integrated Synthetic Vision. Synthetic Vision
displays the terrain directly ahead of the aircraft. Terrain is graphically represented in sectional
chart color variations which represent topographical elevations and water features. Terrain is
textured with a subtle checkerboard pattern to aid in identifying aircraft movement.
In software version 13.0 and later, terrain alerting is available and is toggled on or off in the
PFD>MODE>TERR ALERT menu. When enabled, terrain that is an immediate threat is colored
red. Terrain that is potentially a threat is colored yellow. The coloring algorithm is different than
yellow and red indications on the map and is only shown on terrain relatively close to the
aircraft.
You may toggle the Synthetic Vision system off or on at any time. Press PFD on the Main Menu,
then press MODE and then press SYNVIS. Additionally, SkyView offers the ability to show
synthetic vision in “wide” mode that shows more of the peripheral view. Similar to wide angle
lens camera in order to show more of the peripheral view, objects will also appear farther
away. To adjust the view Press PFD on the Main Menu, then press MODE and then press WIDE.
The following are examples of SkyView Synthetic Vision.
