At AirVenture 2025 at Oshkosh, Nighthawk Flight Systems got a lot of attention when it showed a clean-sheet integrated avionics suite called Guardian. The Guardian was an attention-getter with its tight graphics, thin displays, a liberal IO that works with a large variety of third-party analog and digital avionics, plus a price tag that was said to be under $40,000. Nighthawk Flight Systems (it bought Sandel Avionics a few years ago) promised to start shipping the FAA-approved (via an AML-STC) system as early as December 2025. Since that’s just a couple of months away, we followed up on the project with company CEO Paul Martin, who not only promised a seamless installation and high-level field support, but set aggressive goals for the system’s initial certification and growth.
I wonder if you have a typo in the projected delivery date “as early as December 2024.”
BTW, this was not from Scott Dyer. That name was just automatically filled into the form when I pressed submit. There may be a problem with the form submission code as well.
We’ve tweaked some things on the server to get around this comment caching bug.
