Based in Lincoln, Mass., Avidyne Corporation is the leading provider of integrated flight deck systems and multi-function displays for general aviation aircraft. Avidyne’s industry-leading FlightMax Entegra integrated flight deck is fully certified and offered as standard equipment on several leading general aviation aircraft.

Avidyne recently announced the selection of XM WX Satellite Weather to provide broadcast datalink weather for their FlightMax EX500 multifunction displays and FlightMax Entegra integrated flight deck systems.

Avidyne’s new MultiLink™ capability will provide an interface to the Heads Up Technologies XMD-076 XM receiver. This MultiLink capability will be available as a software update for all Avidyne FlightMax EX500 and Entegra EX5000 multi-function displays. It allows the operation of Avidyne’s Narrowcast and XM’s Broadcast weather individually or together as complementary systems.

The addition of XM WX Satellite Weather will also provide access to lightning data from the National Lightning Detection Network while operating over the continental United States (CONUS). This is a new capability on FlightMax systems and provides the unique ability to configure an aircraft with ground-based lightning detection, airborne lightning detection, or a combination of ground and airborne lightning detection ability.

Avidyne’s FlightMax EX500 and Entegra systems are fully upgradeable for those customers who wish to add the XM Broadcast system.

Information on pricing, availability, and upgrade programs will be forthcoming shortly from Avidyne to current owners of FlightMax EX500 and Entegra systems who wish to upgrade to XM WX capability.
