Certified Flat Panel Avionics From Dynon

Dynon announced on Sunday that it was in the process of certifying its SkyView HDX integrated instrument panel with the first STCs planned for the Cessna Skyhawk and Beechcraft Baron 58. The Dynon certified equipment is the same as its SkyView HDX, which was designed for Experimental Category aircraft. The system includes dual displays, with a primary flight display with synthetic vision and angle-of-attack capability, a full functioned autopilot using Dynon servos, engine monitoring, moving map and flight management and a fully compliant ADS-B transponder. Dynon expects to make first customer deliveries by the end of the year. The company also said that it "expects to continuously expand the approved model list (AML)" to include a "broad range" of aircraft.

Dynon also announced its emerging plans to start a network of factory run installation centers that will focus on installing SkyView HDX in certified airplanes. It's looking at establishing the first center in the Seattle area.

While the SkyView HDX system is a standalone one, it does require a third-party VOR/ILS receiver and a third-party IFR certificated GPS/WAAS navigator to be flown IFR. Dynon says that SkyView HDX is compatible with a number of such certified units, including those form Avidyne and Garmin, among others.

The cost of the system is $16,000 plus a $2,000 STC fee.
