Companies have tried for decades to create a viable head up display for the lighter end of general aviation. But until now, nobody has successfully produced a unit that fits the needs of piston and light turbine operators. MyGoFlight first announced its HUD four years ago, and is currently flight-testing the unit in an Avidyne-equipped Cirrus.
MyGoFlight HUD Nears Certification
Key Takeaways:
- MyGoFlight has developed the Skydisplay HUD-LCD180, a head-up display specifically designed for general aviation and light business aviation, mirroring advanced capabilities at a reduced size, weight, and cost.
- The Skydisplay HUD automatically extracts and presents certified flight data directly from the aircraft's panel, aiming to improve flight safety by enabling pilots to keep their head up and eyes out.
- Priced around $25,000 plus installation, significantly less than traditional certified HUDs, it is expected to receive Supplemental Type Certification (STC) this year for compatibility with specific avionics like the Avidyne Entegra PFD and Garmin G430W.
- MyGoFlight plans to expand compatibility to other avionics systems, including Aspen Avionics PFDs, with direct connections potentially lowering costs further, and is offering an introductory special for early adopters.
