Avidyne received FAA certification for its Vantage 12 Flight Display System retrofit for Cirrus aircraft, with initial deliveries and installations now underway for more than 4,000 Entegra-equipped and pre-Entegra SR20/22 series aircraft.

The system features dual 12-inch LCD touchscreen displays serving as primary flight display (PFD) and multifunction display (MFD), offering significant improvements in display size, brightness, and processor performance compared to legacy systems. Key capabilities include 3D synthetic vision technology displaying terrain, traffic, obstacles, airports, and flight plan overlays, along with a hybrid touch interface combining touchscreen and traditional knobs and buttons.
