Focusing Both Domestic And International Markets
By Jennifer Staretorp
"Avidyne strives to
provide avionics systems that make flying safer and simpler for all
general aviation pilots," said Dan Schwinn, President and CEO of
Avidyne, in a press release Tuesday. This sentiment was mirrored
throughout a Tuesday morning press conference at
AirVenture 2009, where he announced the release of
several new products, product upgrades, and ventures. Not only is
Avidyne striving to make flying simpler and safer through their
products, they are also trying to make it affordable.
The company announced the release of a new lower-cost FMS400
flight management system as well as an Entegra Release 9 Integrated
Flight Deck (IFD) for Cirrus aircraft. In a statement released to
the media, Patrick Herguth, CEO of Avidyne, said that "The FMS400
configuration allows Cirrus owners that do not require full WAAS
(Wide Area Augmentation System) precision approach capability to
enjoy the advanced, yet easy-to-use Entegra Release 9 and FMS
functionality." To continue the low cost model, the Entegra Release
9 Series offers products at three price levels, Gold, Silver, and
Platinum. The levels are designed to suit the needs of the pilot
based on their increasing levels of capability and redundancy. Each
package has the capability of being upgraded to a higher level as
necessary.
Avidyne is also focusing on their international clientele by
teaming up with Jeppesen to offer the Jeppesen European VFR Charts
package. The package is available for Avidyne's EX500 and EX500
Multifunction display (MFD) (shown above) as an optional
subscription. "We are pleased to now be able to offer our European
customers this valuable region-specific chart package that makes
flying in Europe easier and safer" said Dan Schwinn in a statement.
