Aero-TV: Avionics Upgrade - Cirrus Offers Factory Installed R9

Cirrus Announces Factory Option for New SR20 and SR22 Aircraft

During the 2009 AOPA Summit, aviation enthusiasts convened at the Tampa Convention Center to see the latest in general aviation technology and hear the latest in general aviation news. During the convention, one of the industry’s top leaders, Cirrus Aircraft, announced that Avidyne’s Entegra Release 9 integrated flight deck system would now be available from Cirrus as a factory option on selected new SR20 and SR22 aircraft.

Developed to eliminate complexity and reduce head-down time, Avidyne’s Entegra 9 includes high-resolution IFD5000 displays designed with fully redundant architecture. Instead of being “daisy-chained,” each display has its own set of computational modules allowing for peer-to-peer data exchange and comparison without unfamiliar or limited reversionary modes. Features also include dual Air Data and Attitude Heading Reference Systems (ADAHRS), next-generation digital 16-watt VHF NAV/COM radios, and dual WAAS/RNP-capable GPS receivers.

In addition, Avidyne’s Entegra Release 9 features dual-redundant FMS900w systems with QWERTY keypads.  Designed to be fully integrated with the all-digital WAAS Gamma 3 CNS suite, the FMS900w premieres two new technologies. The first technology, termed “GeoFill,” provides intuitive selection for creating, editing, or loading flight plan data.  Instead of displaying choices in alphabetical order within the database, “GeoFill” predicts the next leg or waypoint based on proximity to the aircraft’s current location. In addition, the FMS900w includes an intuitive FMS Vectors feature. Unlike previous generation navigators, the FMS900w calculates any transition from the en route GPS phase of flight to an ILS intercept without the need to suspend or interrupt guidance to the autopilot. 

Cirrus is currently accepting deposits for build-to-order aircraft featuring the new Entegra Release 9 option.  Customers can expect a lead-time of around twelve weeks.
