AirVenture 2024: Avidyne Vantage Update

Avidyne is at AirVenture a few steps closer to certification with the Vantage retrofit integrated avionics for Cirrus models. It's intended as a modern and streamlined upgrade for Avidyne Entegra-equipped Cirrus models, sporting large touchscreen displays and tight integration with Avidyne's DFC90 autopilot and IFD-series navigators. Aviation Consumer Editor Larry Anglisano spend some time at the Avidyne booth with Tom Harper for an update.

12 inch is progress but we need much bigger still. Is this only replacement or also a general product? and avidyne isn't known for being cost effective so what's the price for such a set? 70 grand?

Did I hear a release date? because pretty sure last year it was the same thing.

When is Avidyne going to hire a decent UI designer? Your stuff looks like total amateur hour next to Garmin. Nobody that I know with the money for an upgrade like this is going to pay all that money to look at this hideous stuff.
