Retrofit Available For PA-46 Aircraft
The FAA has granted STC approval to Avidyne Corporation for the
installation of their Entegra Release 9 Integrated Flight Deck (R9)
in the Piper PA-46 Matrix aircraft, the company announced
Wednesday.
R9 Panel Installed In Piper Matirx
"Entegra Release 9 is a next-generation flight deck upgrade that
is designed to meet the mission profiles of the high-performance
aircraft, including the PA-46 Matrix," said Patrick Herguth,
Avidyne's Chief Operating Officer. "PA-46 aircraft are single-pilot
IFR workhorses and Release 9's easy-to-use FMS and its
fully-redundant system architecture dramatically reduce pilot
workload and increase safety."
"Avidyne developed Entegra Release 9 with turbine-class
single-pilot IFR operations in mind," said Avidyne president Dan
Schwinn. "PA-46 owners will find that the Release 9 system is much
easier to use and is much more capable than anything they have ever
flown in this class of aircraft, which will allow them to fly more
confidently in the IFR system."
The Entegra Release 9 retrofit for Piper PA-46 Matrix aircraft
includes two XGA high-resolution IFD5000 displays. In addition,
Release 9 features Avidyne's dual-redundant FMS900w systems with
FMS control/display unit, next-generation fully-digital VHF NAV/COM
radios and dual WAAS/RNP-capable GPS receivers.
Entegra Release 9 upgrade for the Piper PA-46 Matrix has a list
price of $72,800, plus installation. Contact Avidyne for more
information.
