The IFD Series:  The most intuitive FMS/GPS/NAV/COM on the market.

Made by pilots for pilots, Avidyne’s IFD Series is considered the most intuitive, easy-to use-flight management system on the market today.   Popular with even the most discerning of pilots, the IFD 4- and 5 Series features hybrid touch with knobs and buttons, a quick and easy Page & Tab interface, simple flight planning, 3D synthetic vision (SVS) SBAS/LPV precision navigation and more.

A Complete FMS Solution:  Key Features

Touchscreen with Knobs and Buttons

Known as Hybrid Touch, touchscreen with knobs and buttons is a feature that makes the IFD Series unique.  Many pilots prefer knobs and buttons for frequent pilot actions especially when touchscreen can become difficult to manage. Perform virtually all of the same functions via the touchscreen interface or using the knobs and buttons.

Simple Flight Planning

IFD user interface reduces button pushes and knob twists required with previous navigators by 50%-75% or more. Drop down 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.

Avidyne’s FMS Preview™ shows a real-time graphical depiction of each modification in Cyan prior to selection making it easy to visualize before selecting a desired waypoint, airway, hold or hold entry, Direct-To, approach, approach transition and any other terminal procedures.  Unlike previous navigators, you can quickly load any number of destination airports and multiple approaches into your flight plan.

GeoFill ™ intelligently predicts the next waypoint entry, not based on its order in the database, but on its proximity to your current location or the previous waypoint in your flight plan.

3D Synthetic Vision

For improved situational awareness, Avidyne’s SVS offers 3D Terrain Awareness capability which can be displayed over the color-contoured terrain basemap.  For an extra measure of safety, Forward Looking Terrain (FLTA) actively projects the aircraft’s flight track to determine if a collision is imminent.  Caution Alerts are provided within 60-seconds with warning alerts if terrain is projected within 30 seconds.  3D Obstacles uses the standard high, low and grouping symbology to clearly depict any obstacles in the flight path.  3D Traffic uses the standard symbology with traffic depictions indicating relative threat level by aircraft size and relative altitude bearing.

Electronic Approach Charts and Airport Diagrams

The IFD5-Series includes CMax™ Approach Charts & Airport Diagrams. Utilizing Jeppesen’s Jeppview® chart 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 own-ship and flight plan position right on the chart or airport diagram.

WiFi/Bluetooth® Connectivity and Third-Party Mapping Applications

Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, available in all IFDs, features a number of ways for you to control your IFD.   The IFD Series seamlessly connects to your Apple iPad® IFD100 App and MK10 remote Bluetooth keyboard (provided with each IFD) giving pilots a full display of complete wireless control of your panel-mount IFD.

Additionally, the IFD provides open wireless connectivity to third-party flight planning and mapping applications such as  ForeFlight® Mobile, FlightPlanGO®, Seattle Avionics FlyQ®, AvPlan® EFB, Jeppesen® Mobile Flight Deck, Cloud Ahoy®, and AeroGlass®.
