The latest hardware release from Avidyne brings the company back to an innovative platform through which it changed the game two decades ago: the Cirrus SR20 and SR22 equipped with the first large-format primary and multifunction flight displays for light aircraft. The first Avidyne Entegra PFDs introduced pilots to the wide horizon line, granting them intuitive attitude assessment—and the multifunction displays offered the ability to see GPS-driven moving maps in grand scale, along with digital engine indications and checklists.
