Dynon Avionics SkyView Training @ Sun-N-Fun 2012

This class will introduce pilots to most ground and in-flight operational features of the \Dynon Avionics SkyView system\. In-depth discussion of installation and initial configuration of the system is not an objective of this class, though some of those concepts will be addressed where relevant.
Specific to the SkyView system, pilots will learn how to:
- configure the display(s) for various phases of ground and flight operations
- navigate using the integrated VFR GPS moving map and flight planner
- configure and operate the autopilot for both VFR and Ifr missions
- access course guidance information from various navigation sources installed in the aircraft
- locate and understand various calculated data presented by SkyView (ie: winds aloft, Tas, density altitude, angle-of-attack, fuel computer)
An additional objective of this class is to educate pilots about the process of transitioning from analog instrumentation to glass panel systems in a small Ga aircraft. Topics covered will include:
- cognitive differences of analog and digital/electronic instrumentation
- need for training and experience in successful transition
- benefits and pitfalls of glass panel systems
- cockpit resource management
Instructing these classes will be Kirk Kleinholz, Cfii and Sales Account Manager for Dynon Avionics.
\IMPORTANT Note:\
- \Morning class sessions\ -- from 8:30a-12:00noon -- will focus on \VFR procedures\, though some topics relevant to Ifr operations will be covered.
- \Afternoon class sessions\ -- from 1:00p-4:30p -- will emphasize \Ifr procedures\, including advanced use of the Hsi with multiple navigation sources, configuring the system for instrument approaches, and using the autopilot effectively for Ifr operations.
