Dynon SkyView HDX in a MOONEY! | IN-FLIGHT REVIEW | BEST full GLASS AFFORDABLE PANEL EVER!

[PilotFun101]

Consider Subscribing and Fly Along! It was a long but fun process replacing all my analogue instruments with digital avionics. After 3 months in the shop it was time to #FlyDynon. This is my first time sharing my experience flying the Dynon SkyView HDX on film. Check out the in-flight review. Join me in my MooneyM20C Ranger as we fly around the North East. Thanks for Flying Along!

Love the video and the Dynon looks great. 

You say at the beginning that the Mooney cockpit is an inch smaller than most other airplanes. Maybe I misunderstood, but let's not propagate the myth that Mooney cockpits are narrower than other comparable airplanes. The seating position is lower, there is no room under the seat like there is in a Cessna, etc. But the Mooney cockpit is actually wider than other comparable airplanes. And you're probably sitting closer to the panel than in other airplanes. But the Mooney is wider...

Cessna 150 38 inches
Cessna 172 and 152 40 inches
Grumman AA5 41 inches
Cessna 182 42 inches
Piper PA28 42 inches
Bonanzas 42 inches
Cessna 206/210 has 43 inches

Mooney cabin is 43.5 inches

Conspicuously left out the Rockwell Commander?

With all due respect, I thought you were only listing metal planes, so you are good.

Thank you @gsxrpilot for the information!  Still learning.

What a fantastic video and a great demo of the Dynon system.  Really looks to be a very capable system and easy to use.

Nice work again, 101...

+1 on killing the wydth myth...

Knots would be good... but all your POH numbers are in mph...

I like the altitude call outs... 

Use caution... ADSB data age can be misleading...  It is a two step process... data gathering and compilation... you are probably getting the compilation time... compiled a bunch of 10minute old data... the total lag time isn’t being Properly being delivered to you... (something you can do the research on as your system may be improved compared to mine)

Best regards,

I believe the issue is how difficult (compared to others) it is to get into our seats. Once you are in, it is great.
