It is the principal ICA document for the SkyView HDX system. SkyView HDX Autopilot Servo Installation & Maintenance Manual - Piper PA-34 Seneca Series, Rev F, 4/21/2022 Page | 5 3 Installation Compliance Airplanes on the AML meet a minimum required configuration for applicability of the STC. However, some airplanes may have been modified, and consequently, it may be difficult to use the information in this manual to completely substantiate the installation in compliance with the STC. It is the installer's responsibility to make the final determination of applicability for each individual airplane. Prior to completing the installation, and before returning the airplane to service, the installer must complete and submit a completed Form FAA 337 - Major Repair & Alteration (Airframe, Powerplant, Propeller, or Appliance) to the appropriate FAA Flight Standards District Office. The form must include the following: • Description of the SkyView Autopilot installation. • Description of how the SkyView Autopilot interfaces with existing equipment and systems. • Appropriately approved or acceptable data that demonstrates compliance. Refer to AC 43.9-1G - Instructions for Completion of FAA Form 337 for additional information. 3.1 Pre-installation Information Read and understand the following before proceeding with installation activities. Always install avionics equipment in compliance with regulatory requirements found in FAR Part 23 - Airworthiness Standards: Normal Category Airplanes, Subpart G -Flightcrew Interface And Other Information. Always install avionics equipment in accordance with the guidance and approved engineering methods outlined the following FAA documents: • FAR 23.1311-1C - Installation of Electronic Display in Part 23 Airplanes • AC 43.13-1B Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Inspection • AC 43.13-2B Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Alterations The certified mechanic who will authorize the airplane's return to service should agree with the installation plan (i.e., methods, component locations, wiring harness routing, etc.) before installation activities begin. This will help avoid potential rework should any part of the installation be found non-compliant. Page | 6 SkyView HDX Autopilot Servo Installation & Maintenance Manual - Piper PA-34 Seneca Series, Rev F, 4/21/2022 4 Control Cable Verification The SkyView HDX Autopilot system for the Piper PA-34 Seneca series of airplanes is designed to attach to the airplane's original 1/8" diameter control cables. It is important for installers to verify the diameter of the control cables before starting installation activities. The diameter of control cables should be measured in the vicinity where the autopilot servos will be installed (see Figure 1). To gain access to this area, installers will need to remove the second row seats, carpeting, and the floor in accordance with the Piper PA-34 Seneca Service Manual. The servos will be located beneath the cabin floor between the main spar and the rear spar carry-through structures. The roll servo will be on the left-hand side of the cabin (see Figure 1); the pitch servo will be located on the right-hand side of the cabin (see Figure 1). Control Cable Specification: The airplane's control cables must meet the requirements for 1/8" wire rope as specified by MIL-DTL-83420. NOMINAL DIAMETER MINIMUM DIAMETER DIAMETER TOLERANCE 1/8" 0.125" +0.014" If the airplane's original control cables are outside this specification, contact Dynon Technical Support for a resolution. Out-of-specification control cables can cause cable clamps to slip under load, causing the bridle cable to loosen and come off the capstan.

The instructions in this section assume the roll servo is still temporarily installed in airplane per procedures in Section 6.1. 6.2.1 Temporary Bridle Cable Attachment to Servo Capstan Reference Figure 12 and Figure 24 when performing the following procedure. To temporarily attach roll servo bridle cable to the servo capstan: 1. Remove capstan from servo. (See Section 8.5: Servo Capstan Removal and Re- installation for instructions.) 2. Insert capstan engagement swage of bridle cable into engagement hole of capstan. 3. Starting from swage engagement hole, wrap bridle cable in each direction around capstan, as shown in Figure 12. 4. Temporarily secure cable to capstan. Temporarily securing bridle cable to the capstan with tape or a rubber band prevents the cable from unraveling when handling. 6.2.2 Temporary Servo Capstan Attachment to Servo Shaft Reference Figure 12 and Figure 24 when performing the following procedure. To temporarily attach roll servo capstan/cable assembly to the servo shaft: 1. Place capstan/cable assembly onto servo shaft. Orient capstan as shown in Figure 13. Make sure bridle cable does not make excessive contact with cable guard. The position of cable guard may need to be adjusted. The bridle cable will prematurely wear if bridle cable and cable guard make excessive contact (i.e., the angle of the control cable is deflected when in a neutral position). 2. If bridle cable makes excessive contact with cable guard, remove guard and re-install in new position. (See Section 8.6: Cable Guard Adjustment for instructions.) 3. Secure capstan/cable assembly onto servo shaft. (See Section 8.5: Servo Capstan Removal and Re-installation for instructions.)

Take precautions to prevent the servo harnesses from chafing against structure or interfering with the airplane's flight controls or other moving components. Servo power and Autopilot Disconnect circuits are required to be separate from the signal and power circuits provided over the SkyView Network. The servos should receive power from a common power source with circuit protection sized for the loads associated with all servos. Terminate the servo network electrical harnesses with a D9 connector shell with female pins. Terminate the servo electrical harness pigtails with the mating D9 connector. Dynon provides the SV-NET-SERVO Network Autopilot Servo Cable Kit to aid in wiring the servos. Contact Dynon Sales for more information. Power for all servos must be controlled by a switch prominently mounted on the instrument panel. This provides the pilot the ability to quickly turn off power to the servos should it be needed.

Page | 30 SkyView HDX Autopilot Servo Installation & Maintenance Manual - Piper PA-34 Seneca Series, Rev F, 4/21/2022 8.3 Servo Calibration Procedure The SkyView HDX Autopilot servo settings are available for download as a configuration file that is loaded into the SkyView HDX display. This file configures the autopilot servo performance settings to meet the applicable certification regulations. Servo calibration cannot be performed without the following: • An ADAHRS module (SV-ADAHRS-200) installed and configured in the SkyView network. • All servos installed and configured in the SkyView network. • V-speeds correctly entered in SkyView HDX. (See the 103261-000 SkyView HDX System Installation Manual document for instructions.) To make a new servo appear on the SkyView HDX display, configure the SkyView network (SYSTEM SETUP > NETWORK SETUP > CONFIGURE). (See the 103261-000 SkyView HDX System Installation Manual document for instructions.) To calibrate the servos, enter the Servo Calibration Wizard (SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > AP SERVO CALIBRATION > CALIBRATION) and follow the onscreen instructions to calibrate the servo(s). SkyView HDX checks the status of the AP Disengage Button. If SkyView HDX detects that the button is pressed (the input is grounded) upon entering AP SERVO CALIBRATION, the AP Disengage Button is assumed to be stuck (or incorrectly installed), resulting in the following message being displayed, and the Autopilot servo calibration is aborted: "The servo disconnect switch appears to be pressed and may be installed incorrectly. The servo disconnect switch should be a type Momentary, Push Button Normal Open (PBNO). Press cancel below to return to the servo calibration menu." If the servo calibration procedure is not successful, inspect the button and servo wiring. (See the 103261-000 SkyView HDX System Installation Manual document for instructions.) If button type and wiring is correct, call Dynon Technical Support. If the servo calibration procedure is successful, SkyView HDX will automatically instruct you to run the servo test procedure. (See Section 8.4 for instructions.) SkyView HDX Autopilot Servo Installation & Maintenance Manual - Piper PA-34 Seneca Series, Rev F, 4/21/2022 Page | 31 8.4 Servo Test Procedure The servo test procedure requires a successful servo calibration. The servo test procedure verifies that each servo is configured properly by moving the control surfaces while the installer verifies the correct movement. You may run this procedure on its own at any time after a successful servo calibration. SkyView HDX will not display AP status on the Top Bar until after this test procedure is successfully completed. To run this procedure on its own (after a successful servo calibration procedure), enter the Servo Test Wizard (SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > AP SERVO CALIBRATION > TEST) and follow the onscreen instructions to test the servo(s). 8.5 Servo Capstan Removal and Re-installation A servo comes equipped with a capstan installed; however, the capstan will need to be removed during servo installation and maintenance procedures. The following procedure details the task of removing and then re-installing a capstan. Reference Figure 24 when performing the following procedure. 1. Remove cotter pin that secures castle nut to servo shaft. 2. Make mating marks on castle nut and servo shaft, and then remove castle nut from servo shaft. 3. Remove 5/16" wave washer from servo shaft. 4. Removed 5/16" nylon washer from servo shaft. 5. Remove capstan from servo shaft. The shear screw does not need to be removed to remove the capstan. The capstan has a hole that fits over the shear screw head. If the shear screw is loosened, it must be completely removed. The shear screw must be re-installed with a new application of Red Loctite™ 271 thread- locking compound, and finger-tightened until head is fully seated against servo attachment disc. 6. Re-install capstan onto output shaft, aligning hole in capstan with brass shear screw located in output shaft collar. 7. Re-install 5/16" nylon washer on servo shaft. 8. Re-install 5/16" wave washer on servo shaft. 9. Finger-tighten castle nut onto servo shaft, and then use a wrench to tighten until slot in castle nut lines up with hole for cotter pin in servo shaft. DO NOT overtighten the castle nut! Tightening the castle nut beyond 4 in-lbs. of torque may prevent the capstan from separating from the servo shaft if the controls become jammed.

Install new cotter pin to secure castle nut to servo shaft. 8.6 Cable Guard Adjustment Servos come equipped with a cable guard installed. The cable guard may need to be repositioned to avoid interference with the flight control cables or the bridle cables during servo installation procedures. The following procedure details the task of adjusting a cable guard. Reference Figure 24 when performing the following procedure. To remove the capstan and adjust the cable guard: 1. Remove capstan from servo shaft. (See Section 8.5 for instructions.) 2. Remove (4) #6-32 screws and (4) #6 star washers that secure capstan guard to servo. 3. Rotate capstan guard to correct position. 4. Re-install (4) #6-32 screws and (4) #6 star washers that secure capstan guard to servo. 5. Re-install capstan onto servo shaft. (See Section 8.5 for instructions.) 8.7 Servo Shear Screw Replacement Dynon servos come equipped with a capstan. The capstan connects to the servo via a frangible shear screw. The shear screw can be broken by the pilot to restore system movement should a servo become jammed. It is possible for turbulence loads acting on the airplane to cause a shear screw to fail, even though the servo never jammed. In the event of a shear screw failure, contact Dynon Avionics Technical Support to request a 102991-000 Shear Screw Replacement Kit. See the 103000-000 Dynon Servo Shear Screw Replacement Instructions document included in the Shear Screw Replacement Kit.
