SD-Link now also for Dynon SV-COM Radios.

We are pleased to announce another gap in the SD-Link-to be able to close the portfolio:

With the SD-SV-COM A suitable Bluetooth Low Energy adapter is now available for Dynon SV-COM radios are available to support you.

The adapter connects your Dynon SV-COM radio with navigation apps such as SkyDemon, Sky-Map, VFRnav or easyVFRFrequencies can thus be transferred directly from the navigation app to the radio – conveniently, quickly and without manual input on the radio.

Practical test in flight: Frequency transmission Dynon SV-COM

The following video shows frequency transmission in flight: A frequency is transmitted in SkyDemon selected and then sent to the Dynon SV-COM system transferred. Another frequency change demonstrates the successful takeover once again.

The installation is carried out in the usual way. SD-Link Plug-and-play quality: The adapter is simply plugged in between the existing wiring and the Dynon SV-COM system plugged in. No additional power supply is required.

The prerequisite is the use of a Dynon™ SV-COM-PANEL for operating the radio. The adapter is for Dynon SV-COM systems such as SV-COM-425, SV-COM-760, SV-COM-T83, SV-COM-T25, SV-COM-X25 and SV-COM-X83 Provided that they are controlled via an SV-COM-PANEL.

An existing Dynon SkyView™ HDXThe system is seamlessly integrated. No additional electrical or mechanical work is required.

SD-Link expands its product range to include a plug-and-play adapter for Trio ProPilot autopilots

Looking for testing partners.

We are looking for selected pilots with an installed Trio ProPilot autopilot for the new SD-ProPilot adapter.

Apply to become a trial partner

SD-ProPilot is the plug-and-play adapter for the Trio ProPilot Autopilot.

Yes, it is possible: By simply inserting this adapter, you can connect your Trio ProPilot autopilot to SkyDemon .

SD-ProPilot Plug-and-Play Adapter for Trio ProPilot and SkyDemon

It is irrelevant whether your ProPilot is already connected to an EFIS or not. You simply select the navigation data source in SkyDemon.

SD-Link Trio ProPilot Adapter for SkyDemon

By activating the SD-ProPilot data source, ProPilot follows the planned route. SkyDemon Route. You retain control directly on the screen of SkyDemon.

Dynamic route changes are immediately reflected in the navigation data transmitted to the ProPilot autopilot. This allows course changes to be conveniently prepared on a tablet and transferred directly to the autopilot.

Will the SD-ProPilot adapter be installed in SkyDemon When deactivated, the existing EFIS navigation takes over again – or manual control.

Optionally, control via the panel using the Intelli-Switch is possible.

The Intelli-Switch allows for easy overview and control of the current navigation data source for the ProPilot autopilot. The control unit fits into the 57 mm instrument panel and has a shallow installation depth.

SD-Link Trio ProPilot Adapter for SkyDemon with Intelli-Switch

Note on practical testing

For further testing, we are looking for selected pilots with an installed Trio ProPilot autopilot.

Interested parties who are particularly helpful are those who SkyDemon Use regularly, be able to describe technical feedback in a comprehensible way, and are willing to document installation, configuration, and initial practical experiences.

Trio ProPilot autopilot is installed in the aircraft
SkyDemon is actively used
Installation and testing can be carried out carefully.
Feedback is provided reliably and transparently.
Photos of the installation and a short review are welcome.

Since this is a controlled field trial, we select suitable trial partners individually. Therefore, an application does not automatically guarantee participation. If we do not select you as a trial partner, we will automatically put you on our waiting list and notify you once when SD-ProPilot launches.

The SD-ProPilot adapter can be tested either without the Intelli-Switch or together with the optional Intelli-Switch. You can specify your preferred option and your setup (aircraft type, connected systems) directly in the application form.

PigTails for GARMIN, TQ & f.u.n.k.e – if Plug & Play is not possible

PigTail SD-GENERIC to GARMIN GTR225 / TQ TY96/97

Dual Source Adapter now available – SkyDemon & use EFIS simultaneously!

We listened to you: Our new adapters are here!

We call it Dual source.

Many pilots have asked us: "Can I SkyDemon "Use it even though my EFIS is already connected to the radio?" – From now on the answer is: Yes, you can!

Our new Dual Source Adapter enable exactly that:

➡️ SkyDemon / Sky-Map / VFRnav / XCsoar – integration via Bluetooth®

➡️ continue to use the existing EFIS connection

Regardless of whether Garmin G3X, Dynon Skyview, Nesis or other systems – through the Dual-source principle The existing data line is split by the adapter, and the data from the second source is mixed in. No reprogramming or configuration required.

Based on customer feedback developed, tested and improved – for maximum flexibility in the cockpit.
