Avidyne‘s new multifunction flight management systems Helios and Atlas join IFD 440, 540, and 550 GPS navigators in the company’s list of products that integrate with Appareo‘s Stratus Insight EFB.
The integration allows for two-way communication, so pilots can create flight plans in the FMS and push them to Stratus Insight or, alternatively, push flight plans created on the app into their navigator, Appareo officials explain.
Additionally, if the navigator is receiving ADS-B in, it will send subscription-free weather and ADS-B traffic information directly to Stratus Insight.
Other information, such as AHRS data that’s available from an Avidyne navigator, will be sent to Stratus Insight as well.
To enable this two-way communication, Avidyne customers connect their iPad or iPhone Wi-Fi to their FMS, and open the Stratus Insight application.
