The Dynon SkyView HDX Certified full-suite retrofit avionics system has gained momentum recently with long and growing STC approval list, which includes Beech Bonanzas, Barons, Mooneys, Cessna Skylanes and other popular models. Even better is that the HDX system can be installed by qualified A&P mechanics with IA credentials, which helps when traditional avionics shops run long lead times for scheduling. Aviation Consumer Editor in Chief Larry Anglisano stopped by the Dynon booth at Sun 'n Fun 2025 in Florida and caught up with Dynon's Michael Schofield and prepared this video report.
Those vertical tape readouts are driving me crazy, and tiny round engine condition dials. The numbers in the “current condition” display need better readability - larger fonts, higher intensity or higher contrast. There is really too much information crammed into a relatively tiny display area. I say this, having long experience with the old analog 6-pack round-dial instruments. Sure, you can get used to “digital-only”, but it could be better, especially for those using bifocal and trifocal glasses.
