Enables WAAS Data Display On PFDs
Avidyne Corporation announced this week at AirVenture 2007 the
Release 7.0 software upgrade for Entegra EXP5000 Primary Flight
Displays (PFDs) and EX5000 Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) that will
add support for WAAS instrument approach procedures.
Avidyne tells ANN its authorized service centers will remove and
send the EXP5000 PFDs to Avidyne for upgrade, test and
recertification to support WAAS GPS navigation inputs. To minimize
installation downtime Avidyne strongly recommends that owners
accomplish the Release 7.0 upgrade at the same time as they upgrade
their Garmin GPS receivers, antennas and wiring. Avidyne notified
dealers in March that Release 7.0 would be required to support
WAAS. EXP5000 owners should not perform the Garmin GPS WAAS upgrade
prior to installing Release 7.0.
Release 7.0 flash memory and other upgrades for the EX5000 MFD
that bring the display software up to current factory-new levels
may be completed by Avidyne dealers.
Avidyne is accepting orders now for the Release 7.0 upgrade for
Entegra-equipped Cirrus and Columbia aircraft, and for
Envision/Alliant aircraft, for delivery later in Q3. Availability
of Release 7.0 for Entegra-equipped Piper aircraft will be
forthcoming.
Pricing for the Release 7.0 Entegra software upgrade for systems
covered under a new product warranty or the FLEX Service Program is
$2,395 for systems with a single PFD and single MFD, and $3,895 for
systems with a dual PFDs and a single MFD. All customers who
previously upgraded to Release 6 are eligible for in-warranty
pricing.
Pricing is $3,895 for single PFD and single MFD systems with
pre-Release 6 software and no longer under warranty.
