Avidyne Previews IFD 440/540 Touchscreen GPS Navcoms
New Avidyne FMS/GPS navcoms target the replacement market for the Garmin GNS 430/530.

Avionics manufacturer Avidyne of Lincoln, Mass. is showcasing its soon-to-be-certified touch screen IFD 540 and IFD 440 FMS/GPS navcoms this week at the Sun ’n’ Fun Fly-In in Lakeland, Fla. Featuring plug and play design, the units are aimed at the retrofit market, specifically as replacements for Garmin GNS 530 and GNS 430 GPS navcoms, providing an upgrade alternative to Garmin’s own GTN 750/650.

The new Avidyne units provide VHF communication and SBAS/LPV navigation, as well as ADS-B accuracy and integrity requirements. The touchscreen functionality includes pinch-zoom, map panning and graphical flight plan editing.
