At AOPA’s 2009 Summit, the Avidyne Corporation announced
their all-new EX600 Multi-Function Display (MFD), the next stage in
the radar-replacement MFD market for general aviation aircraft and
helicopters.
After launching the first stand-alone Flight Situation Display
in 1996, Avidyne continued to push innovation and product
improvement with the FlightMax and EX500 series MFDs; as stated by
Patrick Herguth, Avidyne’s Chief Operating Officer,
“the EX600 raises the bar again with its larger display, and
with the addition of Map Panning, a highly-requested feature that
makes it the most user-friendly MFD available.”
A follow-up to the EX500, the EX600 MFD offers an upgraded
5.8inch diagonal (an increase from the EX500’s 5.5inch
diagonal) and 640x480 pixel display (an increase from the
EX500’s 616x350 pixel display). In addition, the EX600
includes an all-new Map Panning feature that allows pilots to
easily pan and zoom to any location on the moving map.
The EX600 also incorporates an exclusive QuickPan™
feature, allowing pilots to quickly toggle between their present
position and a panned-to position with a single button push.
Avidyne hopes that the two features will dramatically improve a
pilot’s ability to access and display critical flight
data. All EX600s will come with CMax approach charts,
worldwide airport diagrams, and European VFR chart support.
On January 4th, 2010, Avidyne Corporation announced they have
received Technical Standard Order (TSO) approval for the
EX600. The approval allows Avidyne to being shipments of the
EX600 in the coming months. Designed for aircraft without an MFD,
or in need of an upgrade, Avidyne is sponsoring a trade-in program
that provides a $2,500 trade-in allowance for old radar indicators
and MFDs towards a new EX600. In addition, EX500 owners can
upgrade to the EX600 MFD starting at only $5,495.
