Dynon and PocketFMS bring EasyVFR Wi-Fi Connectivity to SkyView
Flight Plan in Advance Plan a flight at home using EasyVFR’s flight planning features, then save time at the airplane by sending the planned route to the SkyView system via Wi-Fi. Flight plans sent from EasyVFR can be edited on a SkyView and flown by the SkyView Autopilot. Updated flight plans can be transferred between the devices at any time.
The SkyView – EasyVFR connectivity is enabled by a new Wi-Fi Adapter for SkyView, which is installed in any of SkyView’s USB ports. The Wi-Fi Adapter costs $35 and can be purchased from Aeronautical Instrumentation or from Dynon directly. One is required for each SkyView display installed in an aircraft, maintaining system redundancy. Once configured, EasyVFR connects to SkyView through a secure WPA2-protected Wi-Fi link. Support for the Wi-Fi Adapter is already built into the recently released SkyView 12.0 software and EasyVFR’s latest 3.60.2 release, which can be found at http://www.easyvfr.aero. In addition to Wi-Fi and EasyVFR connectivity, SkyView 12.0 has over 40 new features and improvements, including Autopilot Auto-Trim, OBS Mode, customizable aircraft icons, and a new optional in-air magnetic heading calibration. Wireless connectivity between Dynon SkyView and EasyVFR requires SkyView 12.0 (or later) software, a Wi-Fi Adapter for each SkyView display and EasyVFR version 3.60.2 or higher.
