Dynon Avionics is an American manufacturer specializing in electronic avionics tailored mainly for Experimental aircraft, Homebuilt aircraft, and Light-sport aircraft sectors. Their product range primarily consists of non-certified avionics, which typically lack FAA Technical Standard Order approval; however, many are listed among approved equipment for Light Sport Aircraft certification.[1] In the United States, these aircraft operate under a Special Airworthiness Certificate.
In 2016, Dynon collaborated with the Experimental Aircraft Association to secure a Supplemental type certificate for the D10A EFIS model, applicable to specific Piper Aircraft and Cessna variants, thereby broadening their portfolio of certified avionics.[2]
Products
Dynon's offerings feature the SkyView and SkyView Touch glass cockpit suites, which integrate EFIS, EMS, moving map with synthetic vision, and touchscreen controls. Their lineup also includes standalone EFIS units such as the D6, D60, D10A, and D100; EMS models like the D10 and D120; and the combined EFIS/EMS FlightDEK D180. Additional avionics devices provided by the company encompass ADAHRS units, autopilots, transponders, ADS-B receivers, communication radios, autopilot control panels, knob control panels, among other systems.
In 2012 and 2013, Dynon launched the portable D1 and upgraded D2 Pocket Panels—compact EFIS devices equipped with authentic AHRS capabilities designed for use without permanent installation across various aircraft. These products cater to pilots looking for cost-effective backup or supplementary flight instruments.[3][4]
A significant milestone includes one of the earliest implementations of Dynon's D10 EFIS aboard SpaceShipOne, the first privately developed spacecraft.[5]
