Unique to this STC, EAA worked with the FAA to allow the Dynon EFIS-D10A to be installed without the traditional Technical Standard Order or Parts Manufacturer Approval requirement.

The kit includes a USB Flash drive, builder’s manual, and instructional video. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
