IFD540 Touch Screen FMS/GPS/NAV/COMAvidyne’s IFD540 FMS/GPS/NAV/COM combines the best Flight Management System available, with a multi-channel digital VHF radio, in an easy-to-use, plug & play design. The Power of Hybrid Touch
IFD540's Hybrid Touch means virtually all functions performed via the touch-screen can also be accomplished with the knobs/buttons, except pinch-zoom, map panning, and graphical flight plan editing. Hybrid Touch gives you the choice.
The Easy ChoiceOver the years, pilots have chosen Avidyne for our MFDs, PFDs, and safety sensors because we design great avionics products that make flying safer and more fun. It’s no secret that ‘Ease of Use’ is truly the hallmark of all Avidyne products, and now with the IFD540, Avidyne is setting a new standard in easy user interface for FMS/GPS/NAV/COMs. Advancements in touch screen technology have enabled the design team at Avidyne—virtually all of whom are pilots—to optimize our user interface for the new IFD540. Its powerful new MultiTouch interface allows pilots to gesture using two fingers on the capacitive touch screen to easily scroll and zoom the map range setting in and out. In addition to touch screen, we have maintained familiar knob and button controls. This 'Hybrid Touch' user interface provides pilots the choice when interacting with the IFD540 for such functions as flight planning, map control, and frequency management. Leveraging the highly-intuitive Page & Tab user interface of our Entegra Release 9 system, the IFD540 provides plainly-labeled tabs, bi-directional keys, on-screen touch-sensitive labels, and a flat menu structure that make it much easier to access the information you want when you want it. The IFD540 represents the next generation in FMS/GPS/NAV/COM systems, and is capable of providing precision position information to support ADS-B as part of the NextGen airspace initiative. When it comes to panel-mounted avionics, you now have a choice and the choice is easy. Avidyne.

Versatile dual-sided Line Select Keys provide easy control of the thumbnail Hazard Display and map overlay settings. Dual-concentric knobs, dedicated function buttons, and a highly-intuitive touch-sensitive display combine to give pilots a datalink-enabled, map-centric view of their flight situation, while providing quick access to all of the IFD540’s powerful functions.
