After taking the GA world by storm, the highly capable and
oh-so-usable Avidyne Release 9 glass panel system is poised to take
its next big leap... not as fast as some others have done, but
still built upon a system lauded worldwide for its ease of use and
single-pilot friendliness.
Entegra Release 9 features large-format, ultra- reliable
LED-backlit displays — the first to be truly interchangeable
for use as PFD or MFD. Since each Integrated Flight Display (IFD)
is fully capable of performing the functions of the other, no
unfamiliar or limited reversionary modes are required.
The fully-integrated, all-digital WAAS Gamma 3
COM/NAV/Surveillance (CNS) suite is managed with the intuitive
FMS900w, while dual redundant databus interconnection automatically
synchronizes data between displays, the FMS Keypad and a full
complement of safety sensors.
As noted above, future developments include future software
releases which will support new display formats including Synthetic
Vision (SVS), Enhanced Vision (EVS), and Highway in the Sky (HITS).
Avidyne’s Entegra SVS offers improvements over existing
systems by depicting 3D terrain all the way out to the horizon,
based on the aircraft’s altitude above the ground.
The Avidyne system also depicts obstacles, traffic and
“Highway-in-the-Sky” (HITS) boxes on the PFD. SVS
greatly enhances the utility of the airplane, improves the comfort
level of passengers, and increases the safety of each flight. SVS
holds immense promise for the future of release 9.... join Aero-Tv

crystal ball... synthetically.
