Dynon Certified has received FAA certification for the Dynon autopilot for Mooney M20J and M20K models.

According to the company, the approval applies to all M20J/K models that have Dynon Certified SkyView HDX systems.

The advanced three-axis autopilot includes a yaw damper, which is designed to improve situational awareness and reduce the demands of flying, according to Michael Schofield, Dynon’s director of marketing.

“Dynon is committed to enhancing flight safety and reducing pilot workload,” Schofield said.

According to Dynon, the unit is approach capable when paired with a compatible third-party IFR navigation device.

Pricing

The complete three-axis autopilot system, including yaw damper, starts at a list price of $6,434 for Mooney M20J/K series aircraft. The package includes all required hardware, mounting brackets, and servo harnesses.

Aircraft owners can select options such as the SkyView Autopilot Control Panel for $664, which provides the pilot with dedicated autopilot controls. The knob control panel, available for $335, has dedicated knobs to adjust the altitude heading, track, and altimeter settings for the autopilot.

The autopilot can be purchased from and installed by any Dynon Authorized Installation Center, or pilots can buy the equipment directly from Dynon and have it installed by a qualified avionics technician of their choosing.
