A new partnership between Dynon Avionics and Airmate enables SkyView pilots in the United States to access Airmate’s aviation data for $49.90 a year.
Airmate’s USA data subscription includes:
- US Sectionals and US IFR raster charts
- All FAA approach plates and airport diagrams, georeferenced
- Digital database updates every 28 days at each FAA cycle that includes all airfields, controlled and restricted airspaces, radio beacons, waypoints and obstacles for the entire US, including Alaska and Hawaii.
To make installation easier, subscribers can use the Airmate Data Manager app. Available on both Windows and MacOS, this free app automatically checks for available data for your subscription, allows pilots to select the desired charts and plates, and then downloads and programs to a USB drive with the selected data, Dynon officials explained.
Additionally, using Airmate’s app, it is possible for training purposes to load SID, STAR, and RNAV approaches and export, via Wi-Fi, a flight plan including all approach waypoints to SkyView’s flight plan. The Airmate database includes all IFR approaches in the U.S. However, the IFR data does not contain glideslope/glidepath data and is not certified, Dynon officials noted. The use of SID/STAR/RNAV approaches in IFR operation requires an IFR-certified GPS receiver connected to the SkyView system.
SkyView Data for other regions, including Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, North America, and Pacific are also available.
