In retrospect, it may have been too much to try to get the FAA to approve all of this in one submittal?
Perhaps it might have been better to do it in chunks.

  • All of 10.2's bug fixes
  • All of 10.2 new features
  • IFD550 and IFD545 with integrated Attitude Reference Systems
  • Synthetic Vision
  • Wx Radar
  • IFD100, two-Way Wi-Fi
  • and on and on... 
Maybe next time we can just get 10.1.4 for the bug fixes and then 10.2 for the features :) 
My suspicion is that the delays have been far more frustrating for Avidyne than for us!

Did you notice the 2016 year on that date, post was tongue-in-cheek. That was just a copy of the original announcement and the date the feature set was made public. There is no announced release date for 10.2, as far as I know, other than very, very soon.

While waiting for 10.2, I just completed another really nice trip using the existing software on my 540 and 440 its a real treat to use the IFD's compared to the competitor.  Having the map and flight plan displayed simultaneously on the display, the FREQ page and a whole lot more.  Now if Avidyne would get rid of headwinds and turbulence, that would be just great!
