At EAA AirVenture 2009, Honeywell introduced their next
evolution in avionics products, the Bendix/King AV8OR ACE, at an
introductory price of only $1999. Offering a seven-inch
display, the AV8OR ACE includes a sunlight-readable touchscreen
interface for easy viewing and usage; the “Touch and
See” capability allows users to simply tap on screen objects,
such as airports, VORs, and airspace boundaries, to quickly access
further information. Customers can use aviation navigation in
either portrait or landscape modes.
The lightweight design also features FAA IFR geo-referenced
charts, eliminating the need to carry paper charts in
travel. The AV8OR ACE dramatically increases situational
awareness by providing aircraft location display directly on High
and Low en route charts, approach plates, and airport taxiway
diagrams. Customers can obtain digital charts and approach
charts from Bendix-King's vendor.
The AV8OR ACE includes a WAAS GPS system, automotive navigation,
regional databases, and flight guide airport services data
including fuel pricing, FBO information, and local facilities
guidance. The unit’s multimedia functionality and
Bluetooth capability allows for data linkage with Bluetooth-enabled
phones, alternative GPS receiver, and XM weather
receiver.
The weather interface supports WxWorx, allowing the AV8OR ACE to
display real-time weather information overlaid in detail on a
moving map, including graphical METARs, AIRMETs, SIGMETS, and
PIREPs.
