Avidyne Corporation's IFD100 iPad App, which connects wirelessly with its panel-mounted IFD series of FMS/GPS/NAV/COM systems, now supports multi-tasking capability. This enables the IFD100 app to run and share data on the same split screen along with ForeFlight or other third-party apps.

“The IFD100 app provides another instance of IFD in the cockpit, giving our customers a unique, large-screen display and remote-control of their panel-mounted IFD,” says John Talmadge, Avidyne's VP of worldwide sales. “With this latest version, the IFD100 app can now be displayed on a split screen with other apps that support multitasking, including the ForeFlight app, as well as SkyDemon in Europe, allowing pilots even greater utility and more capabilities.”

The new IFD100 app version 10.2.9 is free of charge for IFD owners, and is available now from the Apple App Store. It connects wirelessly to any of Avidyne's IFD series FMS/GPS systems, including the IFD550, IFD540, IFD440, IFD545, IFD510, and IFD410.
