TSO Approval Allows Avidyne To Begin Deliveries Of Newest
Radar-Replacement MFD
Avidyne Corporation announced
Monday they have received Technical Standard Order (TSO) approval
for their recently-introduced EX600 Multi-Function Display
(MFD).
“I am really excited about getting the new EX600 installed
in my aircraft,” said Avidyne customer, Michael Alper.
“After looking at all of the available MFD options, I
specifically chose the EX600 because I really liked its ease of
use, plus I found the QuickPan feature to be an incredibly useful
safety feature.”
“The EX600 represents the latest in MFD capability for
general aviation airplanes and helicopters, and builds on
Avidyne’s innovation and leadership in the radar-replacement
MFD category,” said Patrick Herguth, Avidyne’s Chief
Operating Officer. “This TSO approval allows us to
begin shipments of the EX600, which means aircraft owners can now
add or upgrade to the most feature-rich and easiest-to-use MFD
available.”
The EX600 is a full-function MFD that is designed to enhance
situational awareness and safety for pilots of general aviation
airplanes and now for helicopters as well.
All EX600s include the ability to display CMax approach charts
& worldwide airport diagrams, as well as support for European
VFR Charts—which provide an added measure of situational
awareness during critical phases of flight and while taxiing, both
domestically and internationally. CMax subscription services are
available through Jeppesen.
With interfaces to nineteen different radar models, the EX600 is
the leader in radar-replacement MFDs, meaning it can act as a
display replacement for many out-dated and un-repairable CRT radar
displays, while adding significant situational awareness and
utility enhancements. EX600 pricing starts at $9,990 for the
standard MFD, including CMax Electronic Approach Charts, Worldwide
Airport Diagrams, and standard interfaces for traffic and color
lightning.
