I am Considering the Dynon D10A as a backup EFIS. I noted that the operating temp range limit was 122Â°F on the high side.  As a reference point, I compared it to the temp range of the L-3's Trilogy ESI-1000 which is 165Â°F on the high side.  I would appreciate the observations from those of you that have used this unit. Thanks

Terry,

    I use the D10A as a backup and have been very pleased with it.  The internal 2 hour battery is what sold me initially (although in 2006 there weren't a lot of options).  It does have some heat issues and I had to put a cooling fan above it (it is at the top of my stack) which conveniently serves as a defroster just in case.  Since then I have had no problems whatsoever and it saved my bacon once already when the alternator gave out.

We used one as a primary for years. A few temp issues when parked in the sun for a period of time, but never in flight.

More of the same: Â it's a good unit but it can overheat so plan accordingly. I installed a very small cooling fan after it blanked a couple times and it's been fine now for 1000 hrs.Â

Why not go with the Dynon D1 that is less money, doesn't need pitot 

static system hookups and gives you most of what the D10A will?

Granted you would be depending on GPS ground speed and ground track, but 

in most cases that isn't a big deal if you know what the wind is at 

point of intended landing. I guess it partly depends on where your main 

EFIS connection to ADAHRS and pitot/static system is located. Mine is in 

tail cone to avoid moving magnetic sources, so I didn't plumb pitot and 

static lines up to instrument panel.
