Brings Synthetic Vision And Full Wireless Capability To IFD Series Product Line
EASA has certified Avidyne Corporation's release 10.2 (R10.2) software for their IFD540 and IFD440 FMS/GPS/NAV/COM Systems.
R10.2 provides a host of new features for new and existing IFD540 and IFD440 owners including Synthetic Vision and two-way wireless connectivity with Avidyne’s new IFD100 iPad App. Avidyne has also received approval for their new IFD510 and IFD410 FMS/GPS-only systems.
“Release 10.2 was a significant undertaking that adds Synthetic Vision and expands our line of IFD Series of FMS/GPS products, bringing them to a whole new level of capability, and setting them far apart from anything else available in the market,” said Avidyne president, Dan Schwinn. “We are really pleased with EASA’s ability to get this important upgrade approved in such a timely manner for our customers flying throughout Europe.”
“With integrated Synthetic Vision and built-in wireless connectivity capabilities, no other navigators offer so much functionality, situational awareness, and ease of use,” said Mitch Biggs, Avidyne's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Any aircraft owner upgrading their old panel-mounted navigator to an Avidyne IFD can get a modern hybrid touch-screen WAAS GPS, a place to view ADS-B traffic and weather, and a gorgeous Synthetic Vision display all in the same panel space.”
Avidyne's new Release 10.2 software is available for field-loadable upgrade for existing IFD540 and IFD440 systems, giving these customers the ability to display Synthetic Vision views of the host aircraft, along with overlay of flight plan, color-contoured terrain, obstacles, full color 3D traffic and terrain warnings.
