Practical test in flight: Frequency transmission to Dynon SV-COM

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

Installation is carried out with the usual SD-Link plug-and-play quality: The adapter is simply plugged in between the existing cabling and the Dynon SV-COM system. No additional power supply is required.

SD-Link expands its product range with 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.

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.

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

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

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.

If the SD-ProPilot adapter is deactivated in SkyDemon, 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.

Note on practical testing

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

Particularly helpful are interested parties who regularly use SkyDemon, can 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, contacting us does not automatically guarantee participation.

The SD-ProPilot adapter can be tested either without the Intelli-Switch or together with the optional Intelli-Switch. The preferred option will be requested in the prepared application email.
