Includes EX5000/ EX500/ EX600 MFD And Entegra Release 9-Equipped Aircraft
Upgrades are available that will enable ADS-B on Avidyne EX5000/EX500/600 MFD and Entegra R9 equipped aircraft. Along with Avidyne’s broad product line of GPS navigators and transponders, software upgrades are now available that allow the display of ADS-B In traffic on Entegra flight decks.
“We continue to develop new products as part of our ongoing commitment to ADS-B, and with these software upgrades, we now have an ADS-B solution for every display product in our product line including our legacy displays,” said Avidyne CEO, Dan Schwinn. “ADS-B equipage is vital to the success of the NexGen Airspace program and we are expanding our ADS-B product portfolio to meet the demand.”
EX5000 and EX500/EX600 equipped aircraft owners can upgrade to R8.2 or R4.2 respectively to add display capability of FIS-B weather using Avidyne’s SkyTrax100 ADS-B IN receiver, and ADS-B Traffic using ARINC429/735 protocol. Avidyne IFD440 and IFD550 series GPSs and AXP340 or AXP322 transponder are available to provide ADS-B Out. Along with Avidyne’s SkyTrax100 ADS-B IN Receiver , R8.2/R4.2 software EX-Series MFDs adds compatibility with 3rd-party systems including Lynx NGT-9000, Garmin GTX345, FreeFlight RANGR-RX, or other Capstone/735-compatible ADS-B IN receivers.
Entegra R9 equipped aircraft owners can upgrade with an AXP322 remote transponder and a Skytrax 100 ADS-B In receiver to provide both ADS-B In and Out. Entegra software R9.4 provides an upgrade path to ADS-B OUT compliance for those R9 customers currently using the existing Becker remote-mounted Mode A/C transponder. For ADS-B IN, R9.4 software adds display capability of FIS-B Weather and/or ADS-B Traffic on the R9 displays using Avidyne’s SkyTrax100 Series ADS-B IN Receiver.
Pricing for these upgrades vary based on current equipage and versions and desired equipage. Software upgrades for R8.2/R4.2/R9.4 have a list price of $999. Some Entegra units may have to be returned to a service facility to have the software upgrade installed.
