Pilots of older Mooney M20s, including certain “short body” models now have more options when shopping for an autopilot, thanks to new certifications for Dynon avionics.

Dynon recently announced the FAA approval of its SkyView HDX autopilot for use in the Mooney M20C, D, E and F aircraft. Expansion to these 1960s-era models follows approval of the autopilot for the later M20J and M20K models in 2024.
