Dynon had promised to implement a fully coupled approach solution for their D100 and D180 legacy EFIS systems a while back when those systems were the flagship product of the company. At the time, Dynon had limited resources as they were developing and refining the Skyview. Dynon's plan was to develop autopilot system (fully couple approaches etc) in the emerging Skyview system, and then port that work back to the D100/180.
After being repeatedly asked about their autopilot plans for the legacy product, Dynon finally replied with
Am curious as to how many D100/180 owners were waiting/expecting the vertical guidance feature to be implemented when they bought/installed their systems. I would guess that this feature would not matter much to a large segment of the the legacy product fleet, however for me it is a large disappointment.
I realize that Dynon has made a business decision, however ....
Maybe if the poll results are significant, there may be an incentive (goodwill) for Dynon to complete the legacy autopilot development (really, porting of already developed code).

... That said, do I ever expect us to take the project out of hibernation at this point? I don't. I (personal estimation here) give it a sub 10% chance of it actually happening at this point.So I wouldn't characterize it as a "definite maybe", but more of a "not completely impossible" (but not much above that).
