Ya gotta hand it to Avidyne... they've
been on the march, of late, in terms of aggressive product
development and the willingness to give other/larger companies some
REAL competition. With their most recent move into the replacement
and aftermarket avionics sector, Avidyne is introducing the IFD510
SBAS/LPV/RNP-capable GPS Navigation System with a touch screen user
interface.
The IFD510 is a slide-in replacement
for existing GPS500/W GPS-only navigators found in many turbo-prop
and light jet aircraft, and is an extension of Avidyne’s
recently-announced plug-and-play avionics line, which includes the
IFD540, touch-screen FMS/GPS/NAV/COM. The new system was
introduced, opening day, at the 64th NBAA Convention and Trade Show
in Las Vegas.
“The IFD510 is ideally suited for turbine-class aircraft
owners who are looking to move into a higher-capability FMS with an
exceptionally easy to use touch-screen user interface,” said
Patrick Herguth, Avidyne’s Chief Operating Officer.
“Its plug-and-play design means that pilots who have been
flying with GPS500/W series navigators can easily upgrade to the
IFD510 with very little aircraft down time.”
Avidyne also announced that all of their panel mounted avionics,
including the IFD510, the IFD540, the AMX240 Audio Panel, and the
AXP340 Mode Transponder with ADS-B Out, will be available with
optional Grey bezels which are designed to be more aesthetically
suited to match the other avionics in typical turbine-class
aircraft panels.
