ANN Flies An Avidyne R9-Equipped Cirrus... So We REALLY Do LikeThese Guys!

Avidyne Corporation designs and manufactures avionics instruments, flight displays, VHF and GPS-based navigation, communication and datalink transceivers, as well as a range of traffic detection and weather detection sensors.

Avidyne's Entegra Release 9 system represents the next generation of integrated flight deck systems for general aviation aircraft, including 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. 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.

Avidyne's EX600 Multi-Function Display (MFD) offers the most feature-rich, pilot-friendly and easiest-to-use radar-replacement multifunction display available. Dedicated, easy-to-use panning keys allow pilots to scroll to virtually any point on the map to view weather, airspace, and other points of interest. An exclusive QuickPan™ feature allows the pilot to quickly toggle between the present position and a panned-to position with a single button push. All EX600s also include CMax™Electronic Approach Charts and Worldwide Airport Diagrams.

Avidyne's dual-antenna TAS600 Series Traffic Advisory Systems provide unsurpassed traffic detection capability, which helps pilots avoid surprises due to the shadowing effects inherent with single-antenna systems, and which meet the DO-260A requirement for full diversity antennas allowing an upgrade path to ADS-B, and allowing pilots to see ADS-B traffic when available, along with on-board active-surveillance TAS traffic right on existing TAS-compatible displays.

Avidyne's weather sensors include the MLB700 broadcast datalink receiver, the MLX770 world-wide datalink transceiver, and the TWX670 Color Tactical Lightning Detection system.
 
Avidyne has four locations in the United States, including its Headquarters in Lincoln, MA, Guidance & Controls Engineering Group in Boulder, CO, Safety Systems Group in Columbus, OH, and its NAV/COM Avionics Group and a manufacturing facility in Melbourne, FL. Avidyne also provides worldwide product support out of its Avidyne-Europe, Avidyne-Australasia, and Avidyne-Brazil facilities.
