Currently Accepting Orders For Avidyne Installation
Cirrus Aircraft announced Thursday at the AOPA Aviation Summit
that Avidyne’s Entegra Release 9 integrated flight deck
system is now available as a factory option on selected new SR20
and SR22 aircraft.
“Cirrus and Avidyne launched the glass flight deck
revolution back in 2003. Today, we are making Entegra Release 9
available as an option on new aircraft to meet the needs of those
customers desiring the next-generation Avidyne avionics
platform,” said Cirrus CEO, Brent Wouters.
“Cirrus has consistently been the industry leader in
bringing safety-enhancing innovations to general
aviation—from the parachute to the first all-glass flight
deck for GA—and we are excited to have our Entegra Release 9
system added as a factory option at Cirrus,” said Avidyne
President Dan Schwinn. “There are over 4,000 owners of
Entegra-equipped Cirrus aircraft and many new prospects that now
have the option of moving up to the Entegra Release 9 suite on a
brand new SR20 or SR22.”
The Entegra Release 9 includes high-resolution IFD5000 displays,
dual Air Data and Attitude Heading Reference Systems (ADAHRS),
dual-redundant FMS900w systems with a QWERTY keypad,
next-generation fully-digital 16-watt VHF NAV/COM radios, and dual
WAAS/RNP-capable GPS receivers. Release 9’s innovative Page
& Tab user interface makes it a breeze to quickly access data
without delving into hierarchical menus, pop-up windows or hidden
modes. Designed with a fully-redundant architecture, each IFD5000
is fully capable of performing the functions of the other with no
unfamiliar or limited reversionary modes. With Entegra Release 9,
Avidyne has developed a truly integrated system that is
specifically designed to eliminate complexity, reduce head-down
time, provide a whole new level of redundancy, and dramatically
enhance safety.
Cirrus is accepting orders now for new Cirrus aircraft with
Entegra Release 9 as a build-to-order aircraft, with a nominal lead
time of around 12 weeks. For pricing and ordering information,
including installation details, contact Cirrus.
