•
Press PRESET to have SkyView recall a previously programmed amount of fuel which
represents different fuel loading besides “full”. This is commonly used in aircraft that
have visual tabs in the tanks to easily fill to a non-full but well-defined fuel state. See the
SkyView System Installation Guide for information about how to set this value.
•
Press MATCH to have SkyView automatically add/subtract the appropriate amount of
fuel so that Total Fuel matches the Measured Fuel value that the physical fuel tank
sensors are measuring. Press ACCEPT to confirm the new displayed Total Fuel and exits
the FUEL menu,
•
Press CANCEL to discard any changes made to the Total Fuel and exit the FUEL menu.
Beware that the value that SkyView adjusts the fuel computer when MATCH is used
is only as accurate as your fuel level sensor measurements.
Auto Fuel Detect
The fuel computer can optionally be configured to detect when fuel has been added while
SkyView was off, as would be the case during a normal refueling operation. When configured to
detect fuel additions, SkyView will automatically display the FUEL menu upon startup as a
reminder to adjust the fuel computer, along with a FUEL MISMATCH message to indicate that
the fuel measured by the in-tank fuel quantity sensors does not closely match the fuel
computer’s fuel remaining value.
Dual Engine Monitoring
For aircraft with two engines, SkyView can be configured to monitor both engines when two
SV-EMS-22X modules are installed. This requires two or more SkyView displays in the system, as
each EMS module’s information is displayed on one display exclusively. In this set up each
engine is monitored independently on a single display.
One exception to the above is that SkyView’s flow
-based fuel computer feature can be
configured in one of two ways: In one configuration, it will totalize all fuel and usage
throughout the aircraft
–
as you’d want when there is a single combined fuel system in the
aircraft. Alternatively, it can compute each engine’s fuel totals and usage quanti
ties separately,
as you’d want if each engine were served by a completely independent fuel system. In either
case, the instantaneous fuel flow reading will be indicative of the current fuel usage of the
corresponding engine. The following info items will either be based on either the total fuel in
the aircraft or the total fuel per fuel system: Fuel Remaining, Fuel Used, Fuel Efficiency, Fuel at
Waypoint, and Range values.
In a dual engine system, the following timers are running when either engine is running: Run
Time, Total Air Time, Trip Run, Air Trip, and Air Timer. However, the Hobbs and Tach timers are
tied to the individual engine.
See the SkyView System Installation Guide for more details on setup and configuration of dual
engine monitoring.
