Avidyne Corporation introduced their new Dzus-mounted Avidyne Atlas multifunction flight management system for turbine-class aircraft and helicopters at the 2019 NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas.
The Avidyne Atlas includes a Satellite-based Augmentation System (SBAS) GPS navigator with Required Navigation Performance (RNP) and Area Navigation (RNAV) capability, including Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV), Lateral Navigation/ Vertical Navigation (LNAV/VNAV), LNAV-Only, and Approach Procedures with Vertical (APV) approach modes. The system also features a full QWERTY style keyboard, with Avidyne’s unique ‘Page & Tab’ and hybrid touch-screen user interface, allowing the pilot to get to any function in only one or two button pushes. The touch screen also provides full color Moving Map, plus geo-referenced Jeppesen™ Electronic Approach Charts and Airport Diagrams.
Avidyne’s Director of Marketing, Tom Harper, talked about the new system with Aero-News Editor in Chief Jim Campbell while at the show.
