When I landed, I sent an email to Avidyne's technical support wondering how I would get home if my second IFD navigator had a similar issue on my trip, and how soon I could have it replaced once I did get home. I got an email back from Avidyne asking what airport in Florida I would be using to clear customs on my return. When I told them I would be using Treasure Coast Airport in Fort Pierce, Florida, they told me a replacement IFD550 would be waiting for me, along with an installer to put it in.
Congratulations on a great field report article on the Avidyne IFD550 in the September 2018 Aviation Consumer. As I’m sure you know, the IFD navigators have gone through many software changes since their introduction and continually get better, plus they have more functionality based partly on suggestions from their users.
