6. AUTOPILOT INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION<br />
<strong>Dynon</strong> <strong>Avionics</strong>’ Autopilot (AP) system is a competitively priced product for the Experimental<br />
& Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) aircraft market. Unlike standalone AP systems, <strong>Dynon</strong>’s AP is an<br />
enhancement to the <strong>Dynon</strong> <strong>Avionics</strong> <strong>EFIS</strong>-D10A, <strong>EFIS</strong>-<strong>D100</strong>, and FlightDEK-D180 products<br />
(beginning with firmware version 5.0). The <strong>Dynon</strong> <strong>Avionics</strong> AP provides roll (aileron) and/or<br />
pitch (elevator) control, leveraging the proven sensors, algorithms, and display systems of<br />
<strong>Dynon</strong>’s modern <strong>EFIS</strong> products. Another innovative element of the <strong>Dynon</strong> <strong>Avionics</strong> AP is that<br />
the servomotors (servos) responsible for actuating the control surfaces are “smart” devices.<br />
<strong>Dynon</strong>’s servos not only accept commands from the AP but also report “health,” resistance to<br />
commanded movements, motor override (or “slip”), and many other data elements back to the<br />
<strong>EFIS</strong>. This level of communication between AP control and motors provides the pilot with an<br />
unprecedented degree of awareness of the overall performance of the AP. <strong>Dynon</strong> currently offers<br />
the following servo models:<br />

<strong>Dynon</strong> also offers the AP74 Autopilot Interface Module, which provides dedicated AP control<br />
via panel-mounted buttons and a knob. <strong>Dynon</strong> offers mounting kits for specific airframes, which<br />
include parts and detailed instructions. Additionally, <strong>Dynon</strong> <strong>Avionics</strong> supplies a generic<br />
mounting kit of basic parts that provides a head start for owners of aircraft not currently<br />
supported by our specific kits.<br />
Additional Information and Updates<br />
This guide provides generic mechanical installation guidelines to assist installers while<br />
integrating the Autopilot system into many aircraft. If you purchased a plane-specific kit from<br />
<strong>Dynon</strong> <strong>Avionics</strong>, it contains more detailed drawings and diagrams unique to your aircraft. You<br />
can find the list of <strong>Dynon</strong>’s aircraft mounting kits on the current Price List / Order Form on<br />
<strong>Dynon</strong>’s secure web site at store.dynonavionics.com. The drawings and installation instructions<br />
of current <strong>Dynon</strong> <strong>Avionics</strong> aircraft mounting kits are available on the <strong>Dynon</strong> web site at<br />
docs.dynonavionics.com.<br />
Because the <strong>Dynon</strong> <strong>Avionics</strong> Autopilot is a new product and we expect that it will be installed in<br />
a wide variety of aircraft, <strong>Dynon</strong>’s Internet sites provide up-to-date information on installation<br />
and operation issues:<br />
wiki.dynonavionics.com – <strong>Dynon</strong>’s Documentation Wiki provides enhanced, extended,<br />
continuously-updated online documentation contributed by <strong>Dynon</strong> employees and customers.<br />
