During the 2009 AOPA Summit, aviation enthusiasts convened at
the Tampa Convention Center to see the latest in general aviation
technology and hear the latest in general aviation
news. During the convention, one of the industry’s top
leaders, Cirrus Aircraft, announced that Avidyne’s Entegra
Release 9 integrated flight deck system would now be available from
Cirrus as a factory option on selected new SR20 and SR22
aircraft.
Developed to eliminate complexity and reduce head-down time,
Avidyne’s Entegra 9 includes high-resolution IFD5000 displays
designed with fully redundant architecture. Instead of being
“daisy-chained,” each display has its own set of
computational modules allowing for peer-to-peer data exchange and
comparison without unfamiliar or limited reversionary modes.
Features also include dual Air Data and Attitude Heading Reference
Systems (ADAHRS), next-generation digital 16-watt VHF NAV/COM
radios, and dual WAAS/RNP-capable GPS receivers.
In addition, Avidyne’s Entegra Release 9 features
dual-redundant FMS900w systems with QWERTY keypads. Designed
to be fully integrated with the all-digital WAAS Gamma 3 CNS suite,
the FMS900w premieres two new technologies. The first technology,
termed “GeoFill,” provides intuitive selection for
creating, editing, or loading flight plan data. Instead of
displaying choices in alphabetical order within the database,
“GeoFill” predicts the next leg or waypoint based on
proximity to the aircraft’s current location. In
addition, the FMS900w includes an intuitive FMS Vectors feature.
Unlike previous generation navigators, the FMS900w calculates any
transition from the en route GPS phase of flight to an ILS
intercept without the need to suspend or interrupt guidance to the
autopilot.
Cirrus is currently accepting deposits for build-to-order
aircraft featuring the new Entegra Release 9 option.
Customers can expect a lead-time of around twelve weeks.
