EAA Expands Dynon D10A STC

0

As AirVenture 2016 opens, EAA has announced that is has expanded its STC allowing installation of the Dynon D10A in certified aircraft to include more models and types, with yet more aircraft expected to be added as the program matures. EAA announced the program, which it calls the Accessible Safety STC, at Sun ‘n Fun in April. It allows owners of named certified aircraft to install the heretofore uncertified Dynon EFIS D10A in their panels.

Initially, the STC covered Cessna Skyhawks and the Piper PA-28 Cherokee line. The new expansion extends approvals tothe Cessna 175, 177 and 182 series and the Piper PA-24 and PA-32 series. EAA says additional aircraft will be added to the STC list soon.The STC has also been expanded to cover theDynon EFIS-D100 as an approved substitution for the Dynon EFIS-D10A named in the original STC. The two devices are essentially identical except the EFIS-D100 has a seven-inch display compared to the D10A’s four-inch display. Both instruments have proven popular with homebuilders, although they have been displaced in recent years by more capable EFIS products. The larger instrument will require more panel modification than the D10A, but the trade-off is better readability and versatility.

EAA says the STCs will cost $100 and will be shipped about two weeks after AirVenture closes. They can be ordered directly from EAA’s subsidiary. For more information, EAA also has a FAQ page.
