Dynon Obtains Certification for SkyView HDX in Nearly 600 GA
Aircraft Models
Dynon Certified – a division of Dynon Avionics – today announced a
dramatic expansion of the Approved Model List for its SkyView HDX line of
products. With this AML expansion, Dynon’s full suite of certified avionics is
now approved for nearly 600 type certificated piston single-engine aircraft.
Features approved include Primary and Backup Flight Displays, Synthetic Vision,
VFR mapping, flight planning, and navigation, Engine Monitoring, Mode S Transponder
with 2020-compliant ADS-B Out, ADS-B In Traffic and Weather, and Dynon’s Com
Radio.
“From the moment Dynon Certified introduced its groundbreaking STC
for SkyView HDX, we’ve heard from thousands of aircraft owners wishing we’d add
their aircraft to the approved model list next. Now, with FAA approval for nearly
600 aircraft models, we can deliver on those requests,” said Michael Schofield,
Dynon Director of Marketing. SkyView HDX systems are available from Dynon’s
Authorized Installation Centers and directly from Dynon. “Over 20,000 pilots
already know the joy of flying behind Dynon’s affordable, safety-enhancing
avionics technology. We’re excited to share that experience with even more GA
fliers”, says Schofield.
SkyView HDX is Dynon’s flagship avionics suite that allows most GA
pilots to comprehensively update their aging legacy avionics at an affordable
price. Pilots benefit from an uncluttered, elegant panel layout that reduces
workload, is intuitive, fun to fly, and enhances safety. A Dynon certified
installation typically reduces aircraft weight by 50 to 80 pounds after
replacing the original instruments, and usually allows the removal of
unreliable legacy equipment like the vacuum pump.
Base SkyView HDX configurations including Primary and Backup
Flight Displays, Synthetic Vision, and VFR mapping, flight planning, and
navigation start at $7630. Displays are available in both 10” and 7” variants
to suit a wide variety of instrument panel sizes. Engine monitoring, additional
displays, and other features and controls are optional.
The SkyView HDX system is fully integrated but modular, allowing
pilots to tailor installations to their aircraft’s unique mission and needs.
Additional options available for all approved aircraft include complete Engine
Monitoring with CHTs, EGTs, fuel flow, fuel computer, and lean assist; Mode S
Transponder with 2020-compliant ADS-B Out; ADS-B Traffic and Weather display;
Com Radio; and Electronic Flight Bag features.
Dynon’s fully-integrated autopilot – featuring IFR approach
capability when SkyView is integrated with a compatible navigator – is
additionally available in Cessna 172 F-S and Bonanza P35-V35B models. The
Bonanza approval includes yaw damper capability. Autopilot approvals for
additional aircraft will be continuously released over the coming months. As of
July 2019, Dynon is actively working on autopilot approvals for Bonanza 36s,
Cessna 182s, and Piper Seneca models.
Pricing and Availability
Base SkyView HDX equipment configurations start at $7630. STC
pricing for all aircraft models in the AML expansion is $2,000. Dynon Certified
products are available through a nationwide network of Dynon Authorized Installation
Centers. Pilots can also opt to buy directly from Dynon and have it installed
at their preferred avionics shop or by an A&P/IA.
Approved Model List
Dynon’s updated Approved model list covers 592 type certificated
piston single-engine aircraft, including most eligible aircraft made by Cessna,
Piper, Beechcraft, Mooney, Grumman, and almost 40 other manufacturers. The
complete AML is available at www.dynon.aero/stcaircraft.
