Dynon, a leader in avionics solutions for general aviation, today announced a significant expansion of its Approved Model List (AML) for its Dynon Certified SkyView HDX system. This expansion brings Dynon's advanced avionics capabilities to a wider range of aircraft, including most piston twin-engine models.
Expansion Highlights
Twin-Engine Coverage: The STC now includes 168 new twin-engine aircraft models, dramatically increasing avionics options for owners of these aircraft.
Broader Single-Engine Coverage: An additional 24 single-engine aircraft models have been added to the AML.
Total Coverage: With this expansion, Dynon's STC now covers nearly 800 aircraft models, solidifying its position as one of the most comprehensive avionics upgrade options in general aviation.
"This expansion represents a major milestone for Dynon and the general aviation community," said Michael Schofield, Director of Marketing at Dynon. "By bringing our SkyView HDX system to most piston twin-engine aircraft, we're offering owners of these planes the same advanced capabilities that tens of thousands of single-engine aircraft owners have been enjoying for over twenty years."
Approved Model List Expansion Details
The expanded approved model list covers a wide range of aircraft, including most non-pressurized piston single and twin-engine aircraft that carry up to 10 people. This includes larger piston single-engine aircraft that were outside of the scope of the original AML, such as the De Havilland Beaver. Dynon also added other aircraft, such as the Ercoupe/Aircoupe, that were requested by popular demand.
Pricing and Availability
Dynon is committed to maintaining its competitive pricing structure with this expansion. The prices for SkyView HDX systems and related products are the same as the existing affordable experimental and certified pricing. For type-certificated aircraft owners Dynon charges only a modest STC permission fee - $2678 for single engine aircraft and $5000 for twins - making the upgrade process straightforward and accessible.
"We're excited to offer our advanced avionics to a broader range of aircraft while maintaining our commitment to value," said Michael Schofield. "Twin-engine aircraft usually pay a significant premium to equip their aircraft, in part because there are two engines, but also because they are often segmented into higher cost equipment. By keeping our pricing consistent across our Dynon Certified product line, we're ensuring that more pilots can benefit from modern avionics technology."
SkyView HDX System Benefits
The SkyView HDX system offers a range of advanced features and benefits that significantly enhance the flying experience for pilots:
Intuitive Glass Panel Display: The SkyView HDX features a bright, high-resolution display that provides exceptional readability in all lighting conditions. Its intuitive interface allows for easy access to primary flight, engine, and navigation information.
Integrated Engine Monitoring: Pilots can keep a close eye on critical engine parameters with real-time monitoring and alerting capabilities, enhancing safety and operational efficiency. Twin-engine monitoring can be configured with separate gauges for each engine, or with intuitive “dual needle” gauges that conveniently overlay both engines’ information on a single gauge.
Advanced Navigation: The system includes moving map capabilities, flight planning tools, and support for IFR approaches with compatible navigator, making both VFR and IFR flights easier and more precise.
Autopilot Integration: SkyView HDX seamlessly integrates with Dynon's autopilot, offering features like flight director, VNAV, IAS hold, and coupled approaches. Autopilot is currently available for many Cessna 172, 182, Beechcraft Bonanza 35, Bonanza 36, Baron 58, and Piper Seneca models.
ADS-B In/Out: With optional ADS-B capability, pilots can receive weather and traffic information, enhancing situational awareness and safety.
Transponder and Com Radio: SkyView HDX offers integrated Mode-S Transponder and Com Radio options, allowing pilots to benefit from a truly integrated cockpit.
Backup Battery: An integrated backup battery ensures continued operation of critical flight instruments even in the event of an electrical system failure.
Comprehensive Backup: The Dynon D30 serves as a dedicated backup flight display, providing an additional layer of redundancy. The D30 also comes with its own battery backup, further enhancing the system's reliability and safety features.
This STC expansion further cements Dynon's commitment to providing cutting-edge avionics solutions to a broad spectrum of general aviation aircraft. Owners of newly eligible aircraft can now upgrade to Dynon's SkyView HDX system, bringing modern glass panel technology to their cockpits.
