Certified: Avidyne Atlas Multifunction FMS

Approved For Cessna Citation 560XL, Excel and XLS Models

Avidyne has received TSO and STC approval from the FAA for installation of their dzus-mounted Avidyne Atlas multifunction FMS in Cessna Citation 560XL, Excel, and XLS models.

TSO approval also allows MRO facilities to begin performing their own STCs and installations in turbine-class aircraft.

“Certification of the Avidyne Atlas is a huge step forward in FMS capability for turbine-class aircraft, and a big leap forward for our company as we continue our growth into the turbine markets,” said Avidyne CEO Dan Schwinn.

“We’ve targeted Atlas as an FMS replacement specifically for console-equipped jet operators to provide a highly-capable navigation and flight management solution that pilots will find incredibly easy to use.”

“Avidyne Atlas gives our customers a powerful new option when upgrading their GPS/FMS navigation capabilities, especially in turbine-class aircraft with older-generation EFIS displays where options have been limited,” said John Talmadge, Avidyne’s Vice President of Worldwide Sales.

“We have been working closely with several key MRO partners to identify platforms for additional Atlas STCs which will be forthcoming,” added Dan Reida, Avidyne’s Director of Business Aviation.

The self-contained unit is 7.5” tall, 5.75” wide, and 10.615” deep and is form-factor compatible with a host of legacy FMS systems.
