With modern GPS and Flight Management Systems (FMS), you can:
When paired with a modern autopilot, your aircraft becomes a precision tool that makes every flight smoother, more direct, and more predictable.
Modern GPS/NAV/COM units integrate global positioning, navigation aids, and communication functionalities into a single interface. These systems provide precise routing, real-time position awareness, and reliable communication with Air Traffic Control (ATC). Upgrading to advanced units like the Garmin GTN series or Avidyne IFD series ensures compliance with current FAA regulations and enhances situational awareness.
AHRS replaces traditional mechanical gyros with solid-state sensors to deliver accurate attitude (pitch, roll) and heading information. These systems are less prone to errors and require less maintenance, providing reliable data essential for instrument flight. Integrating AHRS with your cockpit displays ensures consistent and precise flight
An FMS automates flight planning and navigation tasks, allowing pilots to input a flight plan and have the system manage route tracking, altitude changes, and fuel efficiency. By integrating with GPS, NAV, and autopilot systems, an FMS reduces pilot workload and enhances flight precision. Systems like the Garmin G1000 or Avidyne Entegra provide comprehensive flight management capabilities.
Autopilots are essential for maintaining aircraft stability and handling during IFR flights, especially in low-visibility conditions. Modern autopilot systems can manage altitude, heading, and navigation tracking, and can be coupled with FMS for automated flight path management. Upgrading to digital autopilots like the Garmin GFC 500 or Avidyne DFC90 enhances safety and reduces pilot fatigue.
