Wouldn’t it be great if you could create a flight plan using your iPad and then automatically load it into the avionics in your airplane? Aspen Avionics has created a Wi-Fi-based technology called Connected Panel that will let pilots do just that — and a whole lot more.
The first software app designed for the technology, called Connected Pilot, will enable users to create a flight plan using the popular ForeFlight Mobile app on their iPad and then wirelessly beam it to their Aspen Evolution or Bendix/King KSN 770 multifunction display. Once it’s loaded, the pilot presses a button on the avionics to accept the flight plan and it becomes active.
