Timers
SkyView has internal tach, Hobbs, and other timers that each run at different times. EMS timers
are available for placement on the Engine Pages via the Screen Layout Editor. For more
information regarding the Screen Layout Editor, reference the SkyView System Installation
Guide.
Engine timers are displayed at 1/10 hour increments.
Tach Time
- labeled
TACH
when displayed on an Engine Page - is a measure of engine time
normalized to a cruise RPM. The cruise RPM parameter must be set properly in the system
setup to generate a correct tach time
Hobbs Time
- labeled
HOBBS
when displayed on an Engine Page - is a simple timer that runs
whenever the oil pressure is above 15 PSI or the engine is above 200 RPM. It essentially runs
when the engine does.
The
Engine Run Timer
- labeled
RUN TIME
when displayed on an Engine Page - is a Hobbs style
timer that records the time your engine has been running during your current flight. It resets
the first time the engine is started after SkyView is powered on. This allows you to view your
previous flight’s Engine Run Time any time before you start your engine before a flight.
The
Engine Trip Timer
- labeled
TRIP RUN
when displayed on an Engine Page - is a Hobbs style
timer that records the time your engine has been running. Unlike the Hobbs time, it can be
reset by pressing ENGINE > CLR TMR.
The
Total Air Timer
- labeled
AIR TOTAL
when displayed on an Engine Page - runs any time that
SkyView determines that the aircraft is in flight. SkyView uses the presence of significant
airspeed or GPS speed to decide whether the aircraft is flying. This timer can only be reset or
adjusted in the Aircraft Information menu within SkyView Setup. See the SkyView System
Installation Guide for infor
mation about using SkyView’s Setup Menu.
The
Air Timer
- labeled
AIR TIME
when displayed on an Engine Page - runs any time SkyView
determines the aircraft is in flight. SkyView uses the presence of significant airspeed or GPS
speed to decide whether the aircraft is flying. Resets as SkyView detects that the aircraft has
transition to “in the air” This time is also optionally used to calculate the
Switch Fuel Tank
Reminder.
