Yes the Dynon has a fully functioning Flight Director (V command bars); its still certified down to a lower minimum, certified for VOR/ILS approaches, the Dynon AP control head is definitely easier/quicker to use but the gap of features will definitely be closing after this software update. I...
From what I’ve heard it will be an actual ARINC interface (rather than the simple serial line the Aerocruze100 uses) so the Dynon output will do full GPSS and will theoretically be able to do VOR/ILS stuff. Plus it will auto sync baro pressure and follow your altitude, VS, IAS, HDG bugs set on...
Having used both I have to say I love the Dynon/Avidyne combo. There's certain things I way prefer about the Dynon system and of course there's always a couple suggestions one could make! The Dynon autopilot that I've used in other aircraft like V35/A36/172 works amazing, after a few tweaks it...
I wouldn't say easy but the technology is getting more straightforward, especially with a lot of the Dynon equipment being plug and play with their SkyView network, it significantly reduces the installation time required. The Dynon system is really awesome and I don't want to fly with anything...
Reno Tahoe Int Airport, NV. It's pretty convenient for people coming in, dropping off the aircraft and then catching a commercial flight home. And we have a sales tax abatement so no tax applicable
Just about finished this Dynon/Avidyne install in a Piper Cherokee 235. Pre-wired for a future Dynon autopilot as well, just waiting for the new Knots2U glareshield arriving. Really love these Dynon installs! We've just had an installation slot open up in July if anyone needs it for an install...
Wondering if anybody happens to have a Century 3 Installation Manual for a 24v A36 Bonanza?
I need the parts listing for the pitch trim servo portion of it with p/n for the brackets
Personally I’d go with an Aspen E5 instead of two G5’s, you get a little more screen space and if you get the ‘top Mount RSM’ then down the line it will be super easy to upgrade it to the full Pro Max version.
I’ve used the GPS175 a little in a couple installs we’ve done, the resolution of the...
I get that, this particular 140 now has $60k into it haha and the autopilot and audio panel still have to get done! This kind of install is probably better invested into a 180 or 235 to ensure you get your money back out of it
Too tempting? haha
The equipment was just under $34,000 for the HDX system, ADSB in and out, Engine monitoring system, Avidyne IFD540 plus new instrument panel; then about $11,000 in labor. Pre-wired for the autopilot as well, so when thats certified it should only be about 20 hours to install...
The Dynon HDX system is a great way to go. I'm not sure if the Autopilot will be certified by the end of 2021 or not. It's got great flexibility, you can choose which display to have the engine monitoring on etc its highly configurable. You CAN have Airport charts as well as IFR Plates/charts...
Yes the Dynon passes position information to the GTR225 as well in the stream, so the radio would also show the station info.
PS, I would have another look at the HDX Install manual- I'm not sure if having the D10 in that position is legal, it has to be within a certain viewing range of the...
lol the owner used to have altitude and traffic alerts from the transponder to the audio panel. That button used to mute those alerts, now it can be repurposed :)
Wow we're super busy with the Dynon and Avidyne Installs, they're turning out to be a great package together! I can't wait for the autopilot to be STCd in more aircraft (I know it's coming- it will help when the FAA reopens!) as the Dynon autopilot we've put in experimentals is really a powerful...
