FREE Shipping
Overview
|
Avidyne’s IFD Series of navigators feature the most intuitive Flight Management System in an easy-to-use, yet powerful design. The IFD540 is everything a pilot could want in an FMS/GPS/COM Navigator. It’s award-winning Page & Tab user interface eliminates nested menus, allowing you to go to any page in two clicks or less. Its innovative Hybrid Touch allows pilots to perform virtually all functions using its knobs and buttons, or via the versatile touch screen interface—giving you the choice based on user preference. The IFD540 has FMS Preview that lets you easily create, upload and review your flight plans visually with changes shown on the screen before selection plus in-flight changes are a snap because of Avidyne's patented GeoFill™ predicts your next entry based on your location, not the sequence in the database.
The IFD540 amps up your situational awareness with exocentric Synthetic Vision which provides you with an enhanced “VFR-Like” view of what’s in front of your aircraft displaying 3D terrain with hazard alerting, obstacles, and nearby traffic. Everything you need to see on a bright, easy-to-view 5.7” touchscreen. |
