IFD550, BLACK BEZEL

Sale!

The IFD550 is Avidyne’s Premium panel-mounted FMS solution.

The IFD550 has all the features and power of the IFD540 with the added benefit of 3-dimensional “ego-centric/ out-the window” Synthetic Vision views. Thanks to its integrated Attitude Reference System (ARS) and Dynamic SVS, you can “see” all your flight information laid out in front of you, giving you unprecedented situational awareness. Synthetic Vision shows terrain in 3D with hazard alerting, obstacles, and traffic. Everything you need to see on a bright, easy-to-view 5.7” touchscreen. Easy slide-in replacement for GNS530!

As with all of our IFDs, the IFD550 includes many great features that make operation much easier including FMS Preview, which lets you easily create, upload and review your flight plans visually with changes shown on the screen before selection. And with our patented GeoFill™, in-flight changes are a snap because the IFD550 predicts your next entry based on your location, not the sequence in the database.
