No mention of PA-28.

"2018 was an exciting time for Dynon Certified. We received the first STC approval for our flagship SkyView HDX system for most Cessna 172 models and then completed an amendment to include our complete suite including autopilot. While that’s a great start, we are aware there are thousands more of you that have indicated your interest in Dynon Certified products for your other aircraft makes and models. In 2019 we will continue expanding our reach to make that happen.

Simply put, growing the approved model list (AML) has gone slower than we’d hoped, and the government shutdown didn’t help when FAA progress essentially stopped. Though we had hoped to be able to deliver to a tighter schedule we have learned much about the process that we’ll benefit from, and that will continue. Now that the FAA is back in business, we expect to receive approval for the 35 series Bonanza in the coming weeks. Expect a formal announcement of that once it is signed, most likely during the month of April.

Going forward, we’re changing our approach to both expanding the AML and how we communicate our progress. Instead of publishing a calendar that predicts various models against specific dates, we’ll more simply tell you what we’re working on now and what we expect to be working on next. We’ll only estimate dates for aircraft that we’re actually working on until we get a better sense of our pace going forward.

From an implementation perspective, we anticipate going deeper into specific makes and models to capture as many of the variants of a particular aircraft family as possible. Practically speaking, this means that the next aircraft that we will be adding to the AML after the 35 series Bonanza is the A36 family. In fact, we’ve acquired an A36 for this project and work has already begun.

In addition to the Bonanza line, work continues on the piston twin Piper Seneca with approval expected in the first half of 2019. After that, the Cessna 182 is up next and we expect that to be done before the end of 2019. All further additions to the approved model list are yet to be determined.

Since the outset of the Certified program, we’ve been committed to a quality experience for our customers. We feel strongly that that is the key to our long term success. We have therefore added a relatively small number of dealer/installer partners - especially while our AML is limited - that we are confident will provide a good customer experience. With this newsletter, we are pleased to announce two additions to our dealer network. Check out our complete dealer list at http://www.dynoncertified.com/stc-install.php

As 2019 and beyond unfold we expect the list of planned aircraft to evolve as we continue to learn. In short, we want to let you know our honest thinking without over-promising specific models and dates. A continuously updated list of active and planned aircraft approvals is available at Dynon Certified website."
