Avidyne IFD440 GPS/NAV/COM Touch Screen

The IFD440 has a highly-capable, easy-to-use Flight Management System (FMS) that meets TSO-C146c for full SBAS/LPV approach guidance. It features easy-to-use flight planning with ‘one-touch’ victor airway and jet-route navigation, Avidyne’s exclusive GeoFill™ waypoint nomination, and FMS Vectors™ capability. FMS Vectors provides fully-coupled guidance through all phases of flight without all the manual autopilot interaction and suspending of flight plans typically associated with previous-generation systems. 

 

Featuring a 10-watt, 8.33 kHz, two-channel VHF communication radio—with an option for 16 Watts—the IFD540 also includes a two-channel VHF NAV/VLOC with automatic frequency nomination and one-touch Frequency List tuning. Active and standby COM frequencies are automatically decoded and the names of the stations are displayed in plain English, for easy station recognition and as a handy reminder of the agency to which you will be transmitting when pressing the push-to-talk button.

 

The IFD440 supports Avidyne’s CMax™ Electronic Approach Charts & Airport Diagrams, and also includes Terrain Awareness and Alerting as standard, with an option for integrated Class-B TAWS functionality.

 

The plug-and-play IFD440 is a slide-in replacement for the popular GNS430 navigators, providing a larger screen area and a much easier to use, button and touch-screen interface.  The IFD440 is designed to integrate with all the existing equipment which the 430 systems previously operated, including a long list of PFDs, EFIS, CDIs, HSIs, remote sensors, discrete, autopilots, MFDs, etc.  And because it’s the same physical size as the 430, it fits into the same tray, uses the same antennas, and can be installed with no wiring changes, it makes an incredibly easy and affordable retrofit for any general aviation aircraft.
