Experimental Aircraft Owners Can Now Resolve Freezing, Lagging Issues When Equipped with Wi-Fi Module
Dynon Avionics has announced an update to their SkyView HDX displays, one that resolves issues experienced in conjunction with the available Dynon Wi-Fi adapters.
The issue affects those SkyView displays manufactured during or after March 2022, with a variety of adverse behaviors seen in operation. Some of the issues include "display restarts or display freezing," which the company notes "can result in the partial or complete loss of flight instrumentation without warning." Dynon states that many models and variations of the SkyView are entirely unaffected, like the standard Certified version of the SkyView HDX. The only system requiring the update are those Experimental models of the 10" and 7" HDX displays running hardware version 4.
To complete the fix, owners will need to download the software package for version 16.3.2 or later. If the fix cannot be done prior to further operation, the USB wi-fi adapter should be disconnected to preclude the appearance of known issues. While the most recent software version consists of bug fixes and compatibility fixes, previous major releases brought additional features for SkyView owners. At the close of last year, Dynon introduced support for Slingshot and FlyQ users, as well as
updated twin-engine monitoring for those aircraft so equipped. Additionally, Dynon addressed a Zulu time issue that caused an 18-second discrepancy in the SkyView's clock.
For those owners whose SkyView HDX systems are installed in an S-LSA, the aircraft manufacturer procedure supersedes any directive from Dynon.
