Avidyne Corporation's Entegra Release 9 Integrated Flight Deck avionics system has been selected by Lancair International, Inc. of Redmond, OR as an option for the Lancair Evolution aircraft.

The Avidyne offering includes dual high-resolution IFD5000 Integrated Flight Displays, WAAS-capable FMS900w Flight Management Systems, and 16-watt all-digital VDL-capable VHF radios. Additional options include Avidyne's MLB700 SIRIUS/XM for broadcast datalink, the TAS620 for traffic alerting, and the TWX670 for color lightning. 

"Avidyne is renowned for making avionics that are easy to use and that enhance overall safety," said Mike Fisher of Lancair International. "Release 9's FMS and its truly-redundant system architecture are a great fit for our turbine-class aircraft, and we are looking forward to working with Avidyne on this program. 

Lancair and Avidyne have enjoyed a successful relationship and we look forward to the future with the introduction of the Evolution incorporating Avidyne's Release 9 system." "We are pleased to be selected as an avionics option for the Lancair Evolution," said Dan Schwinn, Avidyne's President and CEO. "The Evolution's unique safety-enhancing features coupled the addition of Entegra Release 9 - which is designed to make single-pilot IFR flying safer and easier - make a great match for this airplane."
