Key Features
Attitude Reference System (ARS) & Dynamic SVS
Requiring no additional boxes or wiring, the IFD550 displays a three-dimensional scene representing “egocentric” (out-the-window) & “exocentric” (in trail)
views of your aircraft in relation to nearby terrain & traffic.

3D Terrain & FLTA
Terrain Awareness (SVS-TA) is provided via hashed coloration of terrain. Textual & aural alerts are provided for terrain hazards. Forward Looking Terrain Alerting (FLTA) provides an extra measure of safety by displaying a solid yellow or red impact point based on projected flight path in the event that a collision with terrain is projected. FLTA also provides visual CAS messaging & aural alerting.

Airport Flags
Airfields are depicted with a METAR-style flag when in field of view. With valid METAR data from your datalink, airfield flags will be color-coded to represent the ceiling & visibility, consistent with the moving map presentation.

3D Traffic & Obstacles
The IFD550 uses standard traffic symbology to indicate threat level by target size & relative altitude & bearing. Standard high, low & grouping symbology is used to clearly depict obstacles with color-coded threat bubbles based on hazard level.

At the heart of the IFD550’s synthetic vision system, is Avidyne’s fully-integrated, NextGen MEMS- Gyro ARS sensor that senses pitch & roll.
