Cross compatibility
Avidyne works with most other avionics such as Garmin, free-flight, Appaero, and others so that you have a much simpler installation than using a Garmin product.
Testimonials
“The 430W to 440 exchange was far easier than I imagined. The New unit was in, reprogrammed and flying in less than 45 minutes. Great support from Avidyne tech-support. The unit functioned flawlessly. Love the new screen and ease-of-use.” – Larry Shank, BeechTalk
“The IFD440/IFD540 is awesome; it offers so much more than my previous 530W/430W. Between tremendously improved resolution, touch screen and knobs, WiFi and Bluetooth . . . the list of improvements is almost endless. And all at an exceptional price point.” –Ken Reed, MooneySpace
The Easy Choice
Avidyne’s IFD Series of touch screen navigators represent the next generation in flight management systems. Each provides SBAS/LPV precision navigation and are designed to meet the accuracy and integrity requirements for ADS-B as part of the NextGen airspace initiative. As direct replacements for legacy systems, the IFDs each share the same basic functionality in large and compact display formats respectively.
Direct Replacements *
The IFDs are direct replacements for popular Garmin GNS Series Navigators. In most cases, the IFDs can utilize the existing tray and connectors, and are compatible with all the popular interface configurations, which can greatly minimize installation costs.
Hybrid Touch: Knobs & Buttons or Touch-Screen
The award-winning Page & Tab user interface eliminates nested menus, allowing you to go to any page in the system with only one or two clicks.
In addition to the dedicated knobs and buttons that many pilots prefer for frequent pilot actions, the IFDs Hybrid Touch capability allows pilots to perform virtually all of those same functions via the touch screen interface. Additionally, the IFDs offer MultiTouch functionalities such as pinch-zoom, map panning, and graphical flight plan editing. This can be done with the MultiTouch screen, or knobs and buttons depending on the pilot’s phase of flight.
Made by Pilots for Pilots
Avidyne’s full line of IFDs were designed for ease-of-use, especially during single-pilot IFR operations. As avid and enthusiastic pilots, the people at Avidyne understand the importance of workload reduction and simplicity of operation.
Made for Each Other
Built on a dual databus architecture, the IFD Navigators are key components in Avidyne’s panel-mounted avionics suite, which also includes the AMX240 Audio Panel, AXP340 ADS-B Mode S Transponder, and DFC90 Digital Autopilot.
Navigation at your fingertips
Get where you need to go. That’s why we fly. Avidyne wants you to keep your head up when flying with your family and loved ones. That’s the reason Avidyne designed their FMS to be as user-friendly as possible. Go where you need to go in two clicks or less.
Easy Flight Planning
Extensive testing and customer experience have proven that the IFD user interface reduces button pushes and knob twists required with previous navigators by 50%-75% or more. Dropdown menus are logically placed to provide easy data entry of airways, exit waypoints, destinations, and approach procedures. To make planning even easier, the IFDs can automatically create user-defined waypoints.
