Upgrading panel

[Rico Burgos]

Hello. I am upgrading my panel to a full dynon hdx system.
My question is, I have an existing ifd440, I would like to know if the skyview would feed fuel flow information to the ifd?
Thanks

It will not, but the Dynon itself does all fuel computer calculations, so here is no real benefit of having the information on the IFD.

Dynon calculations include:
Fuel burned
Fuel remaining
Fuel at Waypoint
Range in NM and Time
NM/gallon
Range and Time remaining at waypoint
Fuel needed to waypoint
Etc.

Got it. Basically skyview doesn’t send any info to the ifd? Just the ifd sends to skyview correct?

 

[Jesse Saint]

The Dynon send data to the IFD via ARINC 429, such as magnetic heading, heading bug, pressure altitude, Baro adjusted true altitude, etc. just no engine data.
