$3,900 SkyView System Heading For EXP and LSA
Markets
Dynon Avionics announces SkyView, a new generation glass cockpit
system destined for the Experimental and LSA markets. Dynon's
SkyView reportedly offers high quality glass panel avionics with
'incredibly bright' screens, redundant systems, design flexibility,
and future upgradability -- and at an affordable price.
The new SkyView System offers a Primary Flight Display,
Synthetic Vision, and a terrain map as standard features. An Engine
Monitoring System Module and Engine Sensor kit can be added to make
a complete Glass Panel System. Integrated autopilot software, to be
added in the near future, also comes standard and will require only
the addition of two servos, roll and pitch, to make a complete
two-axis autopilot system.
A SkyView PFD System starts as low as $3,900 for a 7" display
plus ADAHRS (Air Data/Attitude/Heading Reference System) Module.
Adding an Engine Monitoring System Module adds $600 for a total of
$4,500. Adding a second, redundant ADAHRS Module is only $800. An
"Ultimate System", with dual 10" displays, redundant ADAHRS, Engine
Monitor, and backup battery is only $9,980.
A selection of SkyView Network cables, in lengths from 3' to
20', is also available to make wiring a SkyView System
uncomplicated and quick. Dynon President John Torode notes that,
"Our first EFIS products were based on the premise that we could
make high-quality avionics available at prices all pilots could
afford. I am pleased that our team of engineers and developers can
continue this tradition with a technologically advanced system that
pilots will love to fly behind."
