Avidyne endorses the book “Flying the Avidyne IFD” by Michael F. Bauer as another great means of learning the Avidyne IFD. Available on Amazon.com, this “self-paced course of instruction that will show you all the important features of the Avidyne IFD navigators. It uses a scenario-based approach to present real world problems, and it gives you a hands-on opportunity to work through them using Avidyne’s IFD simulator program. You’ll get to practice with all the important functions on your own, at your own speed. In simple, step-by-step lessons you’ll learn how to download and operate the Avidyne IFD540/440 simulator, operate the IFD’s VHF navigation and communications radios, set up and fly flight plans, save flight plans for later use, set up and fly holding patterns, fly instrument approaches, use the IFD’s built-in databases and calculators, and customize your IFD to fit your own preferences.”
