Previously paused deliveries of Dynon Certified SkyView HDX displays can now resume immediately, equipped with the newest v16.0 software and most up-to-date hardware. The autopilot is certified for all model 36, A36, and B36 Bonanzas, or available as an option for its SkyView HDX avionics system. The system features a 3-axis autopilot system, yaw damping, and approach coupling with compatible third party IFR avionics.
