3 System Overview
The Dynon D30 features internal calibrated solid-state sensors and a high-definition display to
present Airspeed, Altitude, and Attitude data.
For SkyView HDX systems installed under STC SA02594SE, the D30 serves as a
standby flight display for SkyView’s Primary Flight Display (PFD).
The D30 provides pilots with immediate Primary Flight Information (PFI) in case of a SkyView
HDX system failure. It also allows pilots to cross-compare the presented PFI to ensure data
integrity.

4 Certified Installation Compliance
Some airplanes may have been modified from their stock type design, and consequently, it may
be difficult to use the information in this manual to completely substantiate the installation in
compliance with the STC. It is the installer's responsibility to make the final determination of
applicability for each individual aircraft.
Prior to completing the installation, and before returning the aircraft to service, the installer must
complete and submit a completed FAA Form 337 Major Repair & Alteration (Airframe,
Powerplant, Propeller, or Appliance). The form must include the following:
•Description of the D30 installation.
•Appropriately approved or acceptable data that demonstrates compliance.
Refer to AC 43.9-1G - Instructions for Completion of FAA Form 337 for additional information.
4.1 Pre-installation Information
Read and understand the following before proceeding with installation activities.
Always install avionics equipment in accordance with the instructions in this
manual and the guidance and approved engineering methods outlined the
following FAA documents:
•23.1311-1C - Installation of Electronic Display in Part 23 Airplanes
•AC 43.13-1B - Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft
Inspection
•AC 43.13-2B - Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft
Alterations
The appropriately-rated certified mechanic who will authorize the aircraft's return to
service should agree with the installation plan (i.e., methods, unit location, wire
harness routing, etc.) before installation activities begin. This will help avoid
potential rework should any part of the installation be found non-compliant.

5 Installation
This section provides information and instructions for installing the Dynon D30.
5.1 Mechanical Installation
The D30 must be installed within the primary maximum field-of-view boundary, as close as
practicable to the equipment that displays Primary Flight Information (PFI). According to AC
23.1311-1C, the primary maximum field-of-view is based on vertical and horizontal visual fields
from the pilot's eye reference point that can be observed with eye movement and minimal head
movement only.
The D30 is designed to mount to the instrument panel in a standard 3.125"
diameter instrument hole with little modification. See installation guidelines and
specifications below for more information.
The D30 is designed as near direct-fit replacement for the Dynon EFIS-D10A.
Observe the following guidelines and specifications when installing a D30:
•Unit should be installed so it is level horizontally.
•Wire harness extends about 3" from the rear of the unit. (This can be reduced if 90°
connector shell is used on the wire harness.)
•A small relief must be cut at the bottom of the hole in the instrument panel (see Figure 4).
•If retrofitting an EFIS-D10A with a D30, the holes drilled in the instrument panel for the
EFIS-D10A can be reused for the D30's bracket (see Figure 5).
•Front bezel will extend 0.5" beyond the face of the instrument panel.
•Unit will need to be accessed during service; therefore, provide a service loop in the wire
harness and the pitot and static lines to remove the unit from the instrument panel without
disconnection.
•Avoid placing the unit near heater vents or sources of extremely hot air.

D30 - Installation and Maintenance Manual, Rev A, 6/8/2023
Figure 3: Volume Requirements
To mount the D30 to an instrument panel:
1. If needed, use Figure 4 as a guide to mark and drill holes in instrument panel for mount
bracket attachment.
2. Cut small relief at bottom of instrument hole (see Figure 4) to allow clearance for unit's
retaining screw.
3. Deburr cut edges.
4. Feed mount bracket through instrument hole, as shown in Figure 5, and then secure
to instrument panel with provided hardware.
5. Complete pitot and static connection (see Section 5.2) and electrical installation (see
Section 5.3).
6. Insert unit into instrument hole and mount bracket, as shown in Figure 5.
7. Use 3/32" hex wrench to tighten captured retaining screw that secures unit to mount
bracket (see Figure 6). Tighten retaining screw to 3-5 lbs.
