In chapter 5 the CDI knob is described; however, there is no description of it's use in or the activation of HDG mode? However table on p151/198 describes transitions from HDG mode. Is there a missing description, functionality that has been removed but not undocumented or did I just miss that section? It mentions data updates are >15 minute via the USB in the aircraft? I assume the unit's comm radio can be used during this phase? I'd also think making the checklists functionality available while updating would be a smart idea. -ryan |

Hah! Nice touch making the USB port available for device charging. That's a handy feature in case the iPad's battery runs low...

BTW, you'll note the very last page of the posted doc has a date identifying the specific draft so as I post new updated variants, you'll be able to tell from that last page.

Hi all,
I've just posted a draft of the IFD540 Pilot Guide at: http://www.avidyne.com/support/downloads/ifd-series.asp I had some formatting challenges when converting it to pdf that I'll clean up in the near future. Some pagination got screwed up (you'll see I highlighted some of those page number errors in yellow) and I see some page rippling happened in Section 6. The Index is also incomplete from a page numbering perspective. When I posted draft versions of the Transponder and Audio Panel pilot guides, I received a lot of terrific feedback on ways to improve those docs that I incorporated so I'm hoping for the same here. I view the content of this doc as 100% complete so have at it.... |
