(I'm not asking for vertical callouts for altitudes, as I understand that's a complex and liability-prone issue) * Audible callouts for "approaching waypoint"-- any time the airplane is about to change course or a new altitude restriction is in the FMS, give me a noise, much like TOD works now * audible tone any time a CAS caution/warning message appears (thanks to dmtidler for the suggestion) * hit Foreflight with a stick until they support streaming from the IFD

Please make the soft key on the left side show what the key will select, not what the screen is showing.

Feature request for the IFD100 app:  Make it work in Split Screen on iPad.

Thank you teeth 6 for the follow-up.  Orest's explanation totally blew over my head until you asked for clarification.  I suppose the root of the problem is the IFD 540 is so intuitive that I never read the PG cover to cover but only referred to it when I had questions.  But I still would rather the button told me where I am going rather than where I already know I am!

Assumption correct.

I don't quite get the scenario you're trying to set up, but as I stated before, you will get the traffic on IFD100 for the IFD to which it is connected.

OK here's another thought, applicable to those who have dual IFDs, as Tom and I both do.

David - Still a great question, unanswered so far.

I agree with Bob.

When we started this, there were some communications opportunities.  We were told in the past that the only TRFC which would be ported out was ADS-B/Capstone, but the doctrine now is that TAS traffic also ports out.  It is interesting to think about that - recall that the TAS unit is sending all the info to do ATAS symbology - but the IFD can't "decrypt" it...can it be set up some way such that FF or FQ can get the TAS data and do full display?   I would set up on box on LIO_WiFI and another as a STRATUX AP, seems like opportunities to maximize usefulness....

I understand.  There’s another request at the top of this page to replicate a screen from the GNS480.  I also don’t think the IFD suffers from not having that.  If I had to pick a “Default NAV Page” it would be different from your “Default NAV Page”.  The programmable data blocks mean I don’t have to settle for yours and you don’t have to settle for mine.  We can each have our own.  In addition, each user of the same unit can have their own preferences.  Also, with the IFD 100, I get to have that on a big screen right in front of me regardless of where the IFD is on my panel.  I think that all makes for a pretty well-designed navigator.  Everyone has an old friend they left behind when they moved to the new neighborhood.  All I can suggest is that you try to make new friends before deciding that you prefer the friends you grew up with in the old neighborhood.  Just give it a chance.

Then a new feature for the IFD100 would be to allow changing the chassis ID from the app itself, rather than having to go into the settings of the iPad to it.

Is there a reason the FPL can show "at or above", "at", and "at or below", but not "between"?  I was just looking at a procedure where the IAF was between 6000 and 3900, but the IFD shows at or above 3900.
