This is what I said earlier:-bottleworks wrote:I think I understand your confusion. The "Unit" is the transponder, not the SV. The transponder is 2020 ready. The transponder is separate from the SV. BUT! you must provide it with a Non-SV, 2020 compliant GPS source. Not from SV. (At this time).Nomore767 wrote:From my conversations with both Vans and Dynon, they have a unit, Skyview, that is ADS-B IN/OUT. The FAA say they require a certified GPS source whereas Dynon's is non-certified, although it works just the same. As such Skyview isn't 2020 compliant because of it's GPS source.

It's 2015, and the mandate is for 1-1-2020. In the meantime, from my conversations, Dynon are monitoring the FAA for any changes in policy whilst working on a 'module' (everything is a module) which may eventually meet the current 2020 mandate, or a relaxed mandate for aircraft such as light sport."
I don't think there is 'confusion' per se.
The transponder is part of Skyview via the module. We're talking about the same thing I believe.

Either way I know Dynon isn't going to spend their own money developing the same thing as several other manufacturers who are already getting close to acceptable solutions. Dynon told me they're looking at how to incorporate solutions into Skyview. A new module, modify an existing module, add something from another manufacturer, or will the FAA relax the rule? No one knows yet.
But things move fast in the avionics world.
