Avidyne

IFD440 failed in less than 20 hours. Warranty does not cover shipping or repairs. Very disappointing.

Avidyne is a great technology company with leading edge avionics. If you are serious about TAA and flying, Avidyne is the right technical solution for you.

I purchased my iFD440 in July and love it. It works great and is a great replacement for the 430w. The touch+button function is amazing, I like the feel, resolution, and overall functionality. I strongly recommend it to others on my facebook group. However from a function standpoint there are a couple enhancements I'd like to see. Giving some more customization to the home screen like changing the range ring, or making the 'direct to' command take less clicks in case of emergency would be welcome features. I'd also like to see the display a bit taller, as there is wasted real estate above and below the screen. Lastly, I have miscellaneous issues with the iFD100 app that although a motivator for buying the IFD440, now in actual use gets minimal attention. Thanks!

We did the trade in program and swapped our Garmin 430 for an IFD 440. The swap was easy and the few issues we had during installation were promptly addressed by our dealer and Avidyne. Ours is coupled to a legacy Stec30 autopilot with altitude hold and GPSS and works very well with this combination. We had a couple of issues that were basically due to our learning curve more than the 440 being the problem and Avidyne was prompt and helpful in getting us on track. The 440 is an amazing piece of equipment and it’s capabilities far outrun our needs. I would highly recommend the Avidyne IFD.

I started IFR training wifh steam gages and upgraded our panel with fhe IFD540 and can not express the ease of use this unit has. Added a weekend glasa with Gary Reeves and Im ready and far more confident in flying IFR than I ever have been. Only downside was I didnt splurge and get the 550!!

You don't know how easy navigating and flying IFR is until you've sat behind an Avidyne IFD navigator. I've always thought the industry standard was clunky and far from intuitive. How it ever became the standard is beyond reasonable knowledge. IFD's are intuitive, predictive and productive. Avidyne is the only thing you'll find in any aircraft that I own!

Great products. Excellent customer service.

Great features over Garmin, more product issues than I would like.

I believe Avidyne has fantastic products, I own an IFD440 and am happy with it.
What I truly appreciate is the quick and very helpful support they provide, they are outstanding.

I installed an ifd440 in my personal airplane. I fly corporate aircraft professionally and I felt right at home going to the avidyne IFD.
