Avidyne IFD540

Evolution of Advanced Technology

Avidyne’s leadership in easy-to-use avionics takes the next step forward with the introduction of the IFD540 GPS/NAV/COM. As the newest member of Avidyne’s integrated flight display family, the IFD540 provides the same powerful navigation, communication, and multi-function display capability as found in our award-winning Entegra Release 9 systems in a touch screen, panel-mounted avionics form-factor.

Plug & Play Replacement for your Old 530

The IFD540 is designed as a plug & play replacement for the popular GNS530 & 530W navigators, but with bigger glass, a much larger screen area, 400% more pixels, and a much easier to use, touch-screen interface. And because it’s the same physical size, uses the same tray & antennas, and can be installed with no wiring changes, it makes it an incredibly easy and affordable retrofit for general aviation aircraft.

The IFD540 is the key component in Avidyne’s new panel-mounted avionics suite, which also includes the AMX240 Audio Panel and AXP340 ADS-B Extended Squitter Mode S Transponder.
