#Garmin 430 trainer for ipad upgrade#
The system also allows easier standby tuning.Īll of the above are great reasons to upgrade my unit, but the biggest reason is the instant upgrade. For instance below 128.800 it will say Boston Twr. It will be pretty hard to transmit on the wrong frequency when below the frequency it lists the name of the station displayed. Decoding and display of radio names will reduce radio mistakes. It seems like a small change, but it really makes flight planning much faster. The Avidyne IFD440/540 has a logic chain built in that will always suggest the waypoint that is closest to your flight plan leg or present position. It always adds just one more step to select the one, which is only 19 miles away. Every time I flied a flight plan from KLGB to SMO, the Santa Monica VOR, my trusty G430 always asks if I want the SMO VOR several hundred miles away in Mexico. Geo-Fill is one of the biggest step-ups to make flight plans easier and faster to enter. Pull out the wireless keyboard and enter even complex flight plans much faster and easier. Forget turning the knobs 100 times to enter a flight plan. This allows easy connectivity to popular iPad programs and at the same time lets you use a wireless keyboard! Yes, you read that right. The Avidyne IFD440 & 540 has both built in to every unit. Unlike other touchscreen units though, you can use the screen or the knobs for every function without going through multiple menus to quickly access what you need. The best parts of using an iPad, like dragging flight plan lines and pinch/zoom are built in. Hybrid touch allows the user to combine the familiar buttons/knobs with the new touchscreen technology if they want to. There are also five big reasons I am upgrading to the Avidyne IFD440. I think that the 430/530 series will be in service for many years. The 430/530 series in many ways brought ease of use in an affordable unit to general aviation. I teach Garmin training classes and do 1-2-1 training all over the U.S.
