Is the SkyView SV-ADAHRS-200/201 less dependent on pitot aiding than the Generation 1 products?
Version 5.1 (and later) of the “Generation 1” products added GPS assist. Using version 5.1 with a GPS connected, GPS ground speed can be automatically substituted for airspeed when the EFIS detects that the airspeed indication has failed (usually because of an iced, blocked, or otherwise disconnected pitot). When this happens, the EFIS annunciates that its attitude indication is in a “GPS Assist” mode. The EFIS display also shows GPS ground speed next to the failed airspeed indication to help the pilot maintain situational awareness. Most importantly, when in GPS Assist mode, the attitude provided by Dynon EFIS systems continues to be accurate. GPS Assist is also a feature of SkyView.
