Avidyne’s Entegra Release 9 Integrated Flight Deck Selected By Piper for PA46 AircraftThe Avidyne Entegra Release 9 integrated flight deck system is offered as an optional avionics suite on the Piper PA-46 Meridian, Mirage, and Matrix aircraft.
Utilizing a fully-modular architecture, Entegra Release 9 represents the next generation of integrated flight deck systems for general aviation aircraft. The Entegra Release9 includes high-resolutionIFD5000 displays, dual-redundant FMS900w systems with a QWERTY keypad, next-generation fully-digital 16-watt VHF NAV/COM radios, and dual WAAS/RNP-capable GPS receivers. Release 9’s innovative Page & Tab user interface makes it a breeze to quickly access data without delving into hierarchical menus, pop-up windows or hidden modes. Designed with a fully-redundant architecture, each IFD5000 is fully capable of performing the functions of the other with no unfamiliar or limited reversionary modes. With Entegra Release 9, Avidyne has developed a truly integrated system that is specifically designed to eliminate complexity, reduce head-down time, provide a whole new level of redundancy, and dramatically enhance safety.
First PA-46 certification of the Matrix is expected in the second half of 2010. Customers who purchase an Entegra-equipped Meridian, Mirage or Matrix now will receive an upgrade voucher that locks in the Entegra Release 9 upgrade price at $50,000—redeemable upon certification—representing a significant value for PA-46 owners. Customers who want more information can contact their local Piper Dealer or go to www.release9.com. Those who would like to get a flight demonstration of the Entegra Release 9 suite can contact Avidyne at 800.AVIDYNE (800.284.3963). |
