The IFD550 is Avidyne's premium panel-mounted FMS solution. The IFD550 offers all the features and power of the IFD540, with the added benefit of 3D "ego-centered / outside-the-window" synthetic vision views. With its integrated Attitude Reference System (ARS) and dynamic SVS, you can "see" all your flight information displayed in front of you, providing unprecedented situational awareness. The synthetic vision shows terrain in 3D with hazard alerts, obstacles, and traffic. All of this is presented on a bright, easy-to-read 5.7-inch touchscreen. A perfect, easy replacement for the GNS530!
As with all our IFDs, the IFD550 includes many features that simplify usage, including FMS Preview, which allows you to create, upload, and review your flight plans visually, with modifications displayed on screen before selection. And thanks to our patented GeoFill™ technology, in-flight changes are a breeze, as the IFD550 predicts your next entry based on your position, not the sequence in the database.
