Avidyne Vantage

Description

Avidyne Vantage Flight Display Systems are designed for forward fit & retrofit applications in a variety of applications & display formats. Vantage displays provide significant display size, brightness, & processor performance improvements over legacy systems while retaining the ease of use that is synonymous with the Avidyne brand. Vantage includes 3D Synthetic Vision display of nearby terrain, traffic, obstacles, airports, & flight plan overlay, plus a hybrid touch user interface that allows pilots to control the system with touch screen or dedicated knobs & buttons.

The Vantage MFD provides full & split screen displays of Maps & Flight plans, Jeppesen Approach Charts & Airport Diagrams, multiple user configurations, editable datablocks, checklists, & will share much of the same operational user interface as the popular IFD550/540/440 FMS/ GPS/ NAV/ COM systems.

The Vantage MFD also provides full reversionary capability with dual Attitude Reference Sensors that are tightly coupled with the DFC90 autopilot for fail-safe, redundant operation.

Avidyne Vantage for Cirrus Entegra-equipped Aircraft
Avidyne Vantage is designed as a retrofit upgrade for Entegra-equipped aircraft. Owners upgrading to Vantage will enjoy the only option available for 12” touchscreen displays & will include Avidyne’s unique hybrid touch interface & a tight, seamless integration with Avidyne’s IFD-Series GPS/NAV/COMs & the DFC90 autopilot. Pilots will also appreciate the upgrade from 10” to the larger 12” screens boasting higher resolution XGA displays, standard synthetic vision capability, as well as dual AHRS with MFD reversion & split-screen capability. Avidyne Vantage will interface with existing engine instruments & SIU for engine instruments displayed on the Vantage MFD, or with newer DAUs that add primary engine instruments displayed on the Vantage PFD.

The Vantage upgrade will initially be certified for Cirrus aircraft with a dual IFD-Series GPS/NAV/COMs & DFC90 autopilot configuration & will be compatible with all configurations of engine instruments & other Cirrus factory installed equipment without any requirement for costly unlocks or enablements.

Avidyne’s Vantage flight displays will be first available as a retrofit for Cirrus aircraft equipped with the Entegra PFD & MFD flight deck. The Vantage PFD for the Cirrus will be very familiar to current Entegra owners in terms of ease & methods of operation, with a minimal transition learning curve.
