With Entegra Release 9, Avidyne eyes turbines
Avidyne is setting its sights on the lower echelon of the turbine business airplane market as part of a strategy by the Massachusetts avionics manufacturer

Avidyne is setting its sights on the lower echelon of the turbine business airplane market as part of a strategy by the Massachusetts avionics manufacturer to broaden the audience for its new Entegra R9 glass cockpit, introduced in the Cirrus SR22 and SR20 piston singles in April last year.

Entegra R9 has won praise from aviators for its simplified interface and ease of use in single-pilot cockpits, where a design philosophy centered on shallow menu structures, predictive entry of flight-related information and a completely new FMS designed from the circuit boards up delivers an avionics system that at times seems to do the thinking for you.
