Dynon Broadens Autopilot Certification to Include Additional Mooney Aircraft Models
Dynon Certified has secured FAA approval to extend its SkyView HDX autopilot system to more Mooney M20 models, providing advanced avionics to a greater number of vintage aircraft owners. The announcement came on February 5, 2026, stating that the autopilot is now approved for Mooney M20C, M20D, M20E, and M20F aircraft, supplementing the previously certified M20J and M20K models.
The three-axis autopilot system incorporates a yaw damper and is approach-capable when teamed with a compatible IFR navigation source. The complete system starts at $6,755, inclusive of all necessary brackets, hardware, and servo harnesses. Optional control panels are available separately, with the SkyView Autopilot Control Panel priced at $697 and the Knob Control Panel at $352.
“SkyView HDX Autopilot is now available for an expanded range of Mooney M20 models, offering a sophisticated, three-axis system that includes a yaw damper,” said Michael Schofield, Dynon’s director of marketing. “We’re thrilled to bring this popular option to even more Mooney pilots, highlighting Dynon’s commitment to easing pilot workload and enhancing safety of flight.”
Autopilot approval is now in place, and units are available for pre-order through Dynon Authorized Installation Centers or directly from Dynon for installation by qualified installers.
