IFD540 Touch Screen FMS/GPS/NAV/COMAvidyne’s IFD540 FMS/GPS/NAV/COM combines the best Flight Management System available, with a multi-channel digital VHF radio, in an easy-to-use, plug & play design. Powerful, yet simple.
Easy Radio TuningManaging your radios is easy with the IFD540. A numeric keypad automatically appears when editing a COM or NAV frequency. The IFD540’s quick-entry capability minimizes keystrokes by reducing the number of button pushes required. As an example, to enter the frequency 123.50, you need only enter 235. The leading one is always assumed, and it will auto fill the trailing zero for you. The IFD540 is capable of simultaneously tuning both the active and standby frequencies, both of which can be easily monitored when coupled with Avidyne’s AMX240 Audio Panel. The IFD540’s powerful FMS automatically nominates, auto-tunes, identifies, and monitors the NAV radio frequencies, so you may never have to tune another VOR or ILS frequency again! Should you choose to do so, manual tuning is easily completed with the pop-up numeric key pad or by simply typing the identifier for the VOR.
Station ReadoutThe IFD540 decodes the active and standby frequencies based on proximity in the database, and display the names of the stations in plain English, providing a handy reminder of the agency to which you will be transmitting when pressing the push-to-talk button.
Making Radio Tuning Even EasierThe preferred tuning method is by using the Frequency (FREQ) button. Pressing the Frequency button provides a list of the most likely frequencies you will need based on your current location in your flight plan. When close to your origin it will nominate the origin frequencies, when enroute it will provide the most likely center and flight service frequencies and when near your destination those frequencies will be provided for easy nomination. In fact, any frequency that is displayed can be touch-nominated to your radios.
Electronic Approach Charts & Airport DiagramsThe IFD540 includes CMax™ Approach Charts & Airport Diagrams. Utilizing Jeppesen’s Jeppview® charts subscription services, CMax provides Worldwide approach charts and a database of over 6,000 airport diagrams, most of which are geo-referenced, allowing for the display of your ownship and flight plan position right on the chart or airport diagram.
Touch the Chart icon in the flight plan to automatically load and view the appropriate approach plates and airport diagrams.
Easy NEAREST FunctionCycling through the NRST button provides easy access to a full list of airports nearest to your present position and airports nearest to your destination, along with nearest VORs, NDBs, Intersections, ARTCC, and Flight Service Stations (FSS). Frequencies can be loaded into the radio standby window with a single touch. Color METAR flags show a graphical presentation of the weather at each reporting airport.
Terrain Awareness & AlertingThe IFD540 includes Terrain Awareness and Alerting which can be displayed over the color-contoured terrain base map for easy pilot recognition of an imminent encounter with nearby terrain. TAWS-B OptionIn addition to its standard Terrain Alerting capability, the IFD540 also offers an affordable option for TAWS-B, which is mandated for business jets and turboprops with six or more passenger seats. It’s Forward Looking Terrain Alerting (FLTA) capability provides a solid yellow or red impact point based on flight path projection. Caution Alerts are provided when a collision with terrain is projected within approximately 60 seconds, and Warning Alerts are provided for terrain projected within approximately 30 seconds. FLTA provides aural alert messaging as well.
