Overview
The PFD4000 is Avidyne’s new compact big-glass primary flight display system that is designed with the flexibility to be installed in a number of different aircraft types and configurations.
Designed as a “6-pack” replacement, the WAAS-compatible PFD4000 adds all the enhanced situational awareness and reliability benefits of an all-glass flight deck to virtually any general aviation aircraft.
The PFD4000 fits in virtually any panel space, conveying traditional primary flight instrumentation as well as a pilot-selectable moving map presentation of flight plan data and an RMI/Bearing pointer, all within the primary field of view, reducing pilot workload.
Installed with Avidyne’s versatile EX5000 or EX500 MFD – which shows navigation data, MultiLink™ datalink weather, lightning, traffic, obstacles, and terrain – Avidyne delivers a high-reliability glass flight deck solution with our hallmark “easiest-to-use” pilot/user interface.
Functionality
Integrated EHSI
The electronic horizontal situation indicator (EHSI) puts advanced navigation display capability in the primary field of view. Fully integrated with your VLOC/GPS, the PFD4000 provides synchronized switching as you transition from the en route phase to the approach phase of your flight.
Easy-to-Fly Trend Indicators
6-second trend indicators for airspeed, altitude and heading allow you to fly with higher precision and reduced workload when changing or maintaining critical airspeeds or altitudes.
Integrated Autopilot Functions
The PFD4000 may be coupled with the autopilot for altitude preselect, vertical speed select and heading select modes without the need for external controllers. Selection bugs and digital readouts for each of these parameters are provided for concise operation.
Ease of Use – An Avidyne Hallmark
The straight-forward user interface makes flying the PFD4000 a breeze, including one-button access to frequent pilot settings such as altitude/ vertical speed/ heading bugs and dedicated BARO control. Nav sources are push-button selectable for the EHSI needle, the bearing pointer, and the flight-plan moving map. The PFD4000 was designed to have a learning curve of less than five minutes.
Crisp, Bright Display
The PFD4000’s super-bright LED-backlit XGA display provides a fully- sunlight-readable presentation of your primary flight data in a single, 8-inch diagonal high-resolution (1024x768 pixel) LCD.
