Synopsis

The Avidyne IFD5540, IFD540, and IFD440 GPS/NAV/COMs bring a new level of capability to general aviation GPS navigation. Now every pilot can have an airline-quality flight management system in his or her aircraft, reducing workload and increasing instrument capabilities.

But you won’t be able to take advantage of the IFD’s capabilities if you don’t know how to use it. That’s where this book comes in.

This is a self-paced course of instruction that will show you all the important features of the Avidyne IFD navigators. It uses a scenario-based approach to present real world problems, and it gives you a hands-on opportunity to work through them using Avidyne’s IFD simulator programs. You’ll get to practice with all the important functions on your own, at your own speed.

In simple, step-by-step lessons you’ll learn how to download and operate the Avidyne IFD540/440 simulator, operate the IFD’s VHF navigation and communications radios, set up and fly flight plans, save flight plans for later use, set up and fly holding patterns, fly instrument approaches, use the IFD’s built-in databases and calculators, and customize your IFD to fit your own preferences

Plus, there’s a quick reference guide to help you quickly find all of the IFD’s important functions.

This book will fully prepare you for effective training in your aircraft. It will save you hours of instructional time and many gallons of aviation fuel.

This edition includes the latest version of Avidyne's IFD simulator and the new features of Avidyne software release 10.2.3.1.
