So, no one from Avidyne knows the information. Yes, I know I can look at the ifd540 manual, I have. But, I don't have an ifd5
40 in my airplane, so would rather study the one for my aircraft. Didn't realize it was a difficult question. Thanks again, for any info. Best,David Edited by dwbarnett - 07 May 2016 at 4:00pm |

Hi David,
I'm the guy writing all the Pilot Guides. I expect to post the draft IFD440 10.2 PG by the end of this coming week (~13 May). It will be downloadable from here: |

I'm just about done with the IFD440 version. I have some images in the manual to update. As soon as that's done, I'll make a new post here. I've got a very full week next week with a bunch of travel so I'm not certain it will be completed this coming week but we'll see.

hmm, still no 440 guide. I guess the changes were a little more complex.
Look forward to it's release Best, David |

To Avi Jake
Have a couple of questions about the current IFD440 pilot guide, installed with Skytrax100 and AXP340
According to page 3-30, "When integrated with an optional traffic system (e.g. TAS, TIS, TCAS, ADS-B), the IFD will display traffic information for transponder-equipped aircraft and provide aural and visual alerting for traffic considered a threat." The installer said that there are no traffic Aural alerts with the current software version. Is that true and will be available with Release 10.2? Page 4-19 of the pilot guide indicates that you can display VLOC Radio frequencies in Slots 3 and 4, but could not duplicate that. I know it can be done with the 540, was that included in the 440 pilot guide by mistake? Thank you Ibrahim |

Hi Ibrahim,
Release 10.2 does add support for aurals for traffic alerts.
Yes, the IFD440 PG had a typo in the draft I posted several months ago. That has been fixed in the version that will be officially released with the product. |

Steve,
Thanks for the info, when do you expect Release 10.2 for the IFD, and 8.2 for the EX5000? Ibrahim |

I know you are looking for a specific date but I'm going to stick with my "just as soon as it's approved" response for both.

Just checking but did I somehow miss the 10.2 Draft of the IFD440 guide? I don't see it on the website.

Same here. I thought the guide was coming out in May.
What draft are we talking about now. Slightly confused. David |

ok , avijake; I'm really confused on the IFD 440 guide. One of your replys back in May, indicated the guide was forthcoming. Now I read your reply of basicaly when it's approved. Are you saying when your draft guide is approved? Or when 10.2 is released. I guess I'm not understanding how the 550 and 540 drafts have been released, but not the 440 draft. As mentioned before, I know I can review the 540 draft, as there are similarities. However, I own a 440, so feel it's best to study-my equipment. Thanks again for clarification.

There were changes that kept happening in May/June to the manual. The IFD440 book will clearly be available when 10.2 is released. If my plate stays somewhat clear between now and then, I might be able to get the doc ECO'd and posted before that.
