Does Dynon have an IFR GPS?
Every dynon certified skyview hdx system starts with two sets of independent and redundant flight instruments that are ifr capable when paired with an ifr certified navigator. Skyview hdx displays also includes a full moving map with robust vfr gps flight planning and navigation capabilities. Yes, when equipped with the dynon autopilot and a 3rd party ils receiver or ifr gps with precision approach capability. Can i fly skyview hdx in ifr? Yes, skyview does not change the aircraft certification basis or operating limitations. All of the primary flight instruments, including attitude, are fully ifr capable.Yes, SkyView does not change the aircraft certification basis or operating limitations. All of the primary flight instruments, including attitude, are fully IFR capable. To navigate via IFR, you will still need a connected IFR-approved GPS or other IFR NAV source to feed guidance data to the SkyView display.
How to know if GPS is IFR approved?
How to determine if an installation is IFR approved: The easiest way for a pilot to determine if the GPS system is approved for IFR flight operations is to review the airplane flight manual supplement (AFMS) or rotorcraft flight manual supplement (RFMS). One of the major differences between IFR-certified GPS avionics and other GPS systems is that IFR GPS avionics provide alerting by using Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) algorithms to detect any system faults. Non-IFR certified GPS units do not have this alerting capability.How to determine if an installation is IFR approved: The easiest way for a pilot to determine if the GPS system is approved for IFR flight operations is to review the airplane flight manual supplement (AFMS) or rotorcraft flight manual supplement (RFMS).One of the major differences between IFR-certified GPS avionics and other GPS systems is that IFR GPS avionics provide alerting by using Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) algorithms to detect any system faults.

What GPS is required for IFR flight?
Your GPS display shows the lat/long distance measured between two points, and in most cases, you can use it for IFR flying. But in order to use GPS for instrument flight, you’ll need a TSO-C129, TSO-C196, TSO-C145, or TSO-C146 compliant GPS (AC 20-138). The FAA refers to these as suitable RNAV systems. In a nutshell, you can use WAAS for full IFR capability and RAIM on non-WAAS GPS aircraft. As a pilot, you need to receive training on how to operate GPS navigation systems for IFR flying, which includes an understanding of the limitations of WAAS and RAIM.So if your non-WAAS GPS is certified for IFR to the approach level—and a Garmin 430 is—you can use it for IFR and for training. That’s presuming it’s installed correctly and up-to-date. However, you will miss out on some of the best features GPS has to offer.
Can I fly IFR without Vor?
It is interesting to note that there is no requirement for navigational equipment such as VOR and GPS, but you must have them equipped if you intend to use their associated facilities. Since IFR procedures rely heavily on these types of navigational equipment, you won’t go far without them. The short answer is no. VFR and handheld GPS systems are not authorized for IFR navigation, instrument approaches, or as a primary instrument flight reference. During IFR operations they may be considered only an aid to situational awareness.
