Extending on these products, they recently designed and added a set of luggage, custom-made to their specifications. Recognizing it can be easy to load up your plane beyond its useful load, they even sell a very handy digital scale that is easy to use.

The use of a Head-Up Display (HUD) is shown to posi- tively impact avia- tion safety, provid- ing critical flight information directly in front of the pilot’s view during certain phas- es of flight. The Flight Safety Foundation confirmed that conclusion in two studies, one in 1990 and subsequently in 2009. Based on their research, the use of HUDs might have prevented, or at least resulted in a better outcome, between
31 and 38 percent of accidents.
The folks at MYGOFLIGHT also believe in its effective-
ness and have developed a HUD for general aviation – the SKYDISPLAY HUD. Of course, they used Charlie’s Cirrus SR22 as the development platform, flying countless tests. Their HUD has now been approved by the FAA and can be installed in a number of Part 23 aircraft, including several turboprops and turbines. Recognizing the significance of their new product line, MYGOFLIGHT formed a new divi- sion named SKYDISPLAYHUD (www.skydisplayhud.com).
The team also decided to integrate a MaxVis Enhanced Vision System (EVS) with their HUD, further enhancing the utility. Imagine flying at night, in low visibility, and having an infrared image of the airport environment projected di- rectly in front of you – along with the other critical informa- tion. Another great example of its usefulness is firefighting, allowing pilots to spot fires, follow the appropriate FPV, and see through the smoke – further enhancing flight safety. For aircraft with an existing MaxVis EVS (or installed at the time of the HUD), no additional approval is necessary.
MYGOFLIGHT expects FAA approval in January, with initial installations available on aircraft with Avidyne, Garmin G500/G600 (TXi) and Aspen avionics. The HUD sells for $29,500 and installation costs vary.
In Conclusion
It is inspiring to explore aviation technology with such innovative individuals like the team at MYGOFLIGHT. Over the last 10 years they have proven the value of their products, and the passion they have for aviation is evident. Stay tuned for more product reviews in the future.
