Avionics Upgrade - Part I: Avidyne IFD Installation

[@mikeblackford994]

I havent flown for years and these new avionics mystify me. This video answered a lot of questions. Thanks Martin.

[@martinpauly]

There's a lot of learning still happening for me with this new equipment, and I'll continue to show what I learn in an occasional video. - Martin

[@patrickrichmond9896]

Martin, I am so happy that I subscribed to a man who is into prop planes. Cape air sadly doesn't have Bonanza airplanes but they have Beechcraft planes. It's a source of history of flying. Your channel in a way takes us back to the days before jet airplanes weren't even thought of yet.

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, Patrick. Piston airplanes are still very much alive, just not in the airline world anymore. Regards, Martin

[@BaronPilot]

Welcome to the world of #IFLYAVIDYNE I know you will love it!! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions! And great video as always!

[@martinpauly]

Thank you, Kristoffer. I look forward to learning to use all the cool features. I know it'll take time, but it'll be so rewarding. See you in Oshkosh! - Martin

[@angelreading5098]

Martin you have a top man on the job there and right to your hangar as well,this avionics technology is getting so exacting and you have proved that a retrofit is possible on an older aircraft such as your cherished Bonanza,keep your old skills alive with the steam gauges and enjoy your upgrade,thank you.

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, Angel. - Martin

[@PA28-181]

Love your info...installing a 540 and a L3 9000 in mine now... thank you !

[@martinpauly]

You are welcome - you'll love the 540/9000 combo! - Martin

[@petermacpherson4192]

Talk about plug n play, can't believe(relatively) how easy that swap was. Great video.

[@martinpauly]

It really was very easy. Had we left the transponder alone, the swap (including configuration) could have been done in less than an hour. - Martin

[@martinpauly]

Thank you, happy to hear that. - Martin

[@boilermaker7754]

Thanks Martin, interesting , great to see how the "magic" of avionics is made possible.

[@martinpauly]

Yes, "magic". :-) I have always been curious about how things work even if I don't work on them myself. I am not very mechanically inclined, but I still think I benefit from understanding how things are connected. Regards, Martin

[@johncessna5608]

Great video! I just purchased a 1978 A36 with a Garmin 530 (non-WAAS) so I found this video very informative. I will be at Oshkosh July 25-28 and will make a point to come and see you and your airplane.

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, John. I understand upgrading a non-WAAS system to a WAAS system (whether that WAAS system is from Garmin or Avidyne) is a bit more elaborate and involves antenna and antenna wiring changes. Enjoy Oshkosh, I look forward to meeting you. - Martin

[@davidstearns9664]

I enjoyed learning about aircraft electronics. I work for a military and aerospace manufacturer.

[@kenstec1439]

Great topic. Looking forward to more. Always have been a Garmin guy but slowly moving to appreciate the Avidyne system.

[@martinpauly]

Garmin makes nice equipment as well, except they seem less compatible with equipment from other vendors. In the next part of the video I'll talk a little bit about why I preferred the Avidyne setup for my Bonanza. Regards, Martin

[@djmx121]

Hey Martin. Nice to see you upgrading the panel. Very exciting! Great choice!

[@martinpauly]

Thank you, Sir. - Martin

[@WolfPilot]

Awesome video Martin! That setup looks really sweet!!

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, Jay. I've been very, very happy with the Avidyne IFDs over the almost two years (and counting) I've had them in my Bonanza. - Martin

[@almarasco8088]

Martin you are going to love the JPI 930 and I purchased the IFD 540 and IFD 440 and the the 930. Installed in my Malibu

[@martinpauly]

I am sure I will. We'll start the installation of the JPI930 this weekend - keep your fingers crossed! :-) - Martin

[@frankiep.8446]

I, too, have taken the leap and decided to upgrade my GNS530W with the IFD540. I like your 3 reasons for upgrading and agree, whole-heartedly. I’d like to mention that the Avidyne product is just as superior at 25-30% less the cost compared to their Garmin competitor. Thanks Martin and safe travels!

[@Byrdflyr]

Martin, I also swapped my old Garmin 530 (non-WAAS) for an IFD-540, and added an NGT9000, and I really love them both. The I-pad connectivity and all the great features in the 540 have been a great improvement - of course, even after a year, I'm probably using 20% of the capabilities, so I need to dig into the manuals. The frequency ID feature is great. Also, they way the IFD intuitively predicts (or anticipates is probably more accurate) the waypoints your entering - that's amazing. I think a lot of us are switching to Avydine because this is a relatively easy swap (labor cost-wise), but adds so much capability and additional safety. Another great video.

[@dabuya]

Thank you for sharing! I hope to see you at Oshkosh.

[@martinpauly]

Yes, Oshkosh - I can't wait! :-) - Martin

[@denniscarew2955]

Great Video Martin. I have been using a IFD 540 since 2016, 550's were not available. Great units you'll love them Enjoy. Hope to see you at OSH.

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, Dennis. Yes, I'll be in Oshkosh - looking forward to talking to you there. - Martin

[@pilotreefer2930]

Thank you Martin, I have the Lynx a G5, IFD 550 / 440 and a new radio panel being installed right now.

[@martinpauly]

That'll be a great setup, Daniel. You'll love it! - Martin

[@robertthrailkill1368]

Real nice upgrade for your panel! Enjoy.

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, Robert! - Martin

[@davidrumolo422]

Another interesting video! I continue to struggle with the age old question of how much to invest in my old Pa28-140. Will likely use the wingtip ADSB out for compliance but the cost of new navcomms quickly surpass the a/c value. Time to do an airplane upgrade! See you at Oshkosh...will be there for the aircraft video forum.

[@martinpauly]

You are on the right track there, David - if you want to make a substantial panel upgrade, it is often cheaper to switch to a plane that already has your dream panel. See you in Oshkosh! - Martin

[@cpuwolf]

cannot wait to see completion

[@MrSixstring2k]

I am beginning to really like the avedyne gps

[@martinpauly]

From what I've seen so far on a couple of flights, I am thrilled. I love it! - Martin

[@mikes3174]

Nicely done Martin! Thank you for the great videos, I'm just getting back into flying after a very looooong hiatus and I have learned a lot from you.

[@rhintzsche]

Last fall and winter I replaced most of my panel (C-210L) with the JPI 930 engine monitor, the Avidyne 550 and 440 as well as the Aspen Evolution Pro 1000 as my PFD. With so many new instruments I had my avionics shop create a whole new panel to place everything in their most optimal position for my tastes. I added the Skytrax 100 UAT receiver, the Avidyne AXP340, an STEC 30 autopilot, and PSE’s PMA450a stereo audio panel. What a joy to fly! Also, it helps as I’m working on my IFR ticket. Less workload. As far as databases, I use a separate USB stick: one I plug into the 550 and one I for the 440. Once I power up the IFDs it only takes about 5 minutes to load all the databases. Not having used any digital devices before (except iPad), the learning curve hasn’t been really very hard at all! I do use Seattle Avionics’ FlyQ EFB, and there are some issues with transferring flight plan data, as Slingshot is not supported. Other than that, using the IFD’s wireless capabilities (either WiFi or Bt) to get weather radar and traffic on the iPad is seamless!

[@martinpauly]

Roger, that sounds like a very nice setup for your panel. I'm thinking an Aspen or Dynon might be in my future as well at some point, and then I may very well get a new piece of metal for a good-looking panel, like you did. - Martin

[@martinpauly]

Welcome back to the world of flying, Mike. I bet it feels good to be back in airplanes. - Martin

[@mitchellsantamaria4459]

Good luck with the Avidyne units, they certainly do pack in some great features. We have seen quite a few reliability issues with them over here (Australia). Quite a few aircraft have had multiple units replaced due to things like screens failing. When they are working, pilots seem to love them. Most of the engineers I know dont like them at all.

[@martinpauly]

Thanks for the note. Time will tell how well mine do. So far everything seems to be good. - Martin

[@davidrobins4025]

Exciting days for you.

[@harpoon_bakery162]

great seeing you go to a fail-free system. should be fun watching subsequent glass cockpit flights / streams. thanks for the content.

[@martinpauly]

The glass upgrade will be a while, but eventually that's where I'm headed. - Martin

[@johncarr123]

Big bucks upgrades. Congrats!

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, John. Trading in the GNS units really helps keep the price acceptable. - Martin

[@johnnytoobad7785]

Nice to have "techie" friends in high places. Glad to see that the RS232 is still used for something. I'd hate to try get behind the backplane. The selected music should have been "Fly Me to the Moon" or "8 Miles High". Neat stuff though...

[@XACMF]

Great upgrade Martin! feels like a kid with a new box of candy! hehe cheers from RSW!

[@martinpauly]

Exactly, Carlow. That's the feeling - and I think the smile will stay on my face for a while! How are things in Fort Myers? Is it the typical summer weather there, with storms each afternoon? Best regards, Martin

[@johnarmstrong4758]

Fantastic video, I'm considering the same installation in my Comanche. Thanks for the info.

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, John. - Martin

[@Marauder92V]

Good stuff Martin! I got tired of the propriety approach Garmin took with other manufacturers. I will curiously watch for your Lynx and Avidyne integration. I always felt cheated that I couldn’t get my Lynx weather on the Garmin navigator.

[@martinpauly]

That's a big reason why I prefer the IFDs over GTNs. Don't get me wrong - Garmin does make good equipment, but they are not that much into compatibility with non-Garmin gear. - Martin

[@BoB4jjjjs]

Very nice.

[@MichaelLloyd]

Nice. That makes 3 YT aviators that I watch that have switched to Avidyne. It's pretty easy to see why.

[@martinpauly]

I know Baron Pilot did as well. I am curious, who is the third one? Thanks, Martin

[@MichaelLloyd]

@@martinpauly 310 Pilot Kevin and Jaime are very nice people and they've been upgrading their 310 lately. Side note: Baron Pilot (Kristoffer) is the first YT pilot I ever watched. I wasn't watching aviation videos (they weren't on my radar, pun intended :o) ) and he just showed up on my feed one day. His channel is what kicked me off to get my BFR completed after 23 years (it took a year to make that happen, instructors and airplanes are hard to come by where I live).

[@martinpauly]

@@MichaelLloyd Ah, yes - Kevin and Jaime. I haven't met them yet in person but hope I will someday. I believe thee live and fly in the Chicago area, not too far from me. I love hearing when people (re-) start flying after they see our videos. We want to share the love and joy of flying - always great to see when that is working. All the best! - Martin

[@MichaelLloyd]

@@martinpauly It's definitely working! Kevin and Jaime are controllers at Chicago ARTCC so if you've talked to Chicago Center (pretty sure you have) you might have talked to one or both of them. They were at Sun-N-Fun (one of my "wanna go to places", maybe next year) this year. Your Sun-N-Fun arrival video was awesome. The arrival didn't like fun at all but you showed it well.

I love the IFDs along with my duel ASPENs soon to be the upgraded MAX. Welcome

[@martinpauly]

I could see an ASPEN (or dual ASPENs) in my future. They would make a nice addition to my panel. Regards, Martin

[@steviedandashleyc]

Martin, we recently installed a IFD 440 in our Mooney. The UTC time is showing correct, but the ETA is wrong. The estimated time enroute is correct. Can’t seem to find this answer how how to fix. If you are able to answer that would be great.

[@martinpauly]

I assume the ETA is displayed as a local time, not UTC? If so, you probably need to adjust the "Local Time Offset" in your user options. Look for that term in the pilot guide, and you will find the following: HH:MM - push in bottom right IFD knob to put into edit mode then twist the inner ring to change in 15 minute increments and then push knob again to exit edit mode Note: Local time is a user specified offset from UTC rather than an automatically calculated offset based on current location. This should be manually readjusted if crossing time zones.

[@kevin4sambos119]

Martin, w the Lynx wifi and the IFD540 wifi do you ever have any issues of the Avidyne IFD wifi signal dropping off and one Avidyne wifi. Having 2 WiFi’s ever conflict within airplane, I like your setup

[@martinpauly]

Hi Kevin, I hard-wired the Lynx's ADS-B output into the IFD550, specifically so I wouldn't have to deal with two different WIFI sources. My iPad connects to the IFDs WIFI only, and gets ADS-B data through the IFD. That setup has been rock-solid. Regards, Martin

[@frankiep.8446]

... I forgot to mention that, in addition to the IFD540, I’ll be upgrading my panel to include the Dynon Skyview HDX with the self-contained EDM and removing the old Piper (I've a PA32R) Altimatic autopilot with the TruTrak. Dynon’s A/P isn’t certified for the PA32’s ... yet.

[@visarma9673]

Sure would like to know the price of such an swap? What could you sell the 530 & 430? What was the difference for the new equipment? Thank You in advance for my being so snoopy

[@martinpauly]

Hi Robert, that depends on a lot of factors... I suggest you contact avionicssource.com, they have a trade-up program from a GNS to an IFD and can figure out the details for your situation. Regards, Martin

[@visarma9673]

Martin Pauly - thank you for the referral. It’s shocking that they are in Seattle WA? I’m 15 miles away... Great job on your videos...

[@sethmiller8318]

The GNS 430 and 530 will do flight plan transfer, and display adsb information (weather and traffic). They will also tune frequencies. Plus, after removing and reinstalling the transponder, you need to have another 91.413 appendix f test completed to legally use the transponder again.

[@martinpauly]

Hi Seth, do you have a reference for the 91.413 check after re-seating a previously checked transponder in its tray? I know it's not something I can do as an owner, but I can't find a requirement for a full recert under our conditions. Thanks, Martin

[@jimkeeth5120]

It’s actually 91.411 and Part 43 appendix E. Back in the days of grey (Gillham) code altitude it made sense. With serial altitude the chance of having erroneous altitude is unlikely because the altitude is coming through on one wire instead of 10+ wires with grey code.

[@sethmiller8318]

@@martinpauly first I will apologize for my post after reading it, I sound blunt. I also miss typed, as Jim below says, 91.413 tell you you need the test done, Part 43 appendix e tells you how to do the test. If you look at 91.413 (b) it tells you following any maintenance to a transponder where error could be introduced, then the test is required. Removing and reinstalling it could cause a failure if the connectors don't seat all of the way, or a pin gets bent. As Jim says, it is unlikely with serial transponders these days, but the only way to be sure everything is working as it should is to test it. I love watching our videos and I am thinking about starting to record some of my flying as well. I have a young son that I hope one day would go through them and watch them.

[@sethmiller8318]

@@jimkeeth5120 Correct, part 43 appendix e is the reference for the test. I was hastily typing that post on my phone. Yes the chance of error is small, but it is still a chance.

Martin, I need to adjust my pitch indication on my new IFD550. Does one of your videos cover this? I can’t find an installation manual. Currently I see -2.5 degree nose down in level flight. Frank

[@martinpauly]

Hi Frank, I don’t know how to change that setting, but surely your installer has an installation manual, no? I remember seeing that a bias in two axis can be configured, but I don’t remember how to get there. At any rate, this should be a fairly simple adjustment for your installer. Good luck! - Martin

[@PA30Pilot]

@@martinpauly thank you. Avidyne sent me specific directions and I made the corrections. Thank for taking the time for me. Frank

[@rolfetessem2254]

Martin, you will need one additional wire for audio. 99% of 530 installations did not have audio connected, unless TAWS was installed as well. The IFD has a number of audio alerts, including chime for TOD, terrain warnings, and 500ft altitude callout.

[@martinpauly]

Yes, you are correct - I learned that a bit later. In addition, we'll make another connection for the audio monitoring (i.e. listen to the standby COM frequency). So we are not quite done yet... - Martin

[@MrSeebsy]

Great video, It always makes me nervous looking at those "PC style" connectors on GA Avionics...... I would feel better if GA Avionics used the Military twist & lock style multi-pin electrical connectors.

[@martinpauly]

I know the more sturdy connectors you are talking about. I guess it's a cost thing, they are much more expensive than the "PC style" connectors. Having said that, those cheap connectors do seem to get the job done, and reliably so - at least in light GA airplanes. Regards, Martin

[@PowderMill]

Yup... a good quality db25 (amphenol) runs about $8 - $10 bucks a pair of m/f and metallic shells. AND... a mil-spec "cannon" style connector pair (25 pin / male and female connectors) only set you back approx $60-80 bucks I wonder how much the whole installation cost?

[@euroflyer4211]

Hi Martin ! looks very good ! One question though, it seems the IFD 550 and the Lynx create different WiFi networks and the iPad can only connect to one of them at the same time. Are you switching WiFi connections in the air or how will you be doing this ? Best wishes, Erik

[@martinpauly]

Hallo Erik, schoen von Dir zu hoeren. I tried to answer this question in the video. When it's all done and complete, I won't use the Lynx WIFI anymore. The Lynx will send weather and traffic information via RS232 (i.e. a physical wire) to the IFD, and the IFD will not just display this weather and traffic data but also relay it to an iPad via WIFI. So the IFD WIFI will be the only wireless network I will use. Herzliche Gruesse, Martin

[@1shARyn3]

QUERY: How long did it take you to update the databases? ((Guy in the hangar across from me replaced his Garmins with Avidyne units and is saying that mulitple hours are required and that his battery has insufficient capacity to complete the updates.....))

[@martinpauly]

Hi Gwen, the first update did indeed take quite long - about an hour for the IFD550, because of the huge terrain database. The rest of the data was much smaller, so since terrain isn't normally updated, I don't think it'll take long at all next time. - Martin

[@bigmotter001]

Great upgrade Martin. BUT, don't put all of your eggs in an electronic basket. Almost weekly the commercial pilots are declaring energencies from loss of displays. Take care.

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, John. I still have my steam gauge six pack in front of me, though the failures I've experienced in my seven years of Bonanza ownership were all in the mechanical instruments, never with electronics. - Martin

[@cmterodrigues8838]

Great!

[@dennisd7292]

As usual, very instructive Martin. No special work to make the new units talk to your autopilot and HSI?

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, Dennis. The HSI retained its prior connections to the Garmin GNS; I guess you could say it does not know that a different device is driving it now. Same for my Century III autopilot - they work just like they did before. - Martin

[@GaryMCurran]

Martin, since you brought up Kris, and doing a joint presentation with him at OSH, I was wondering if he was the one who turned you onto the IFDs. :p :) I know he certainly likes his in the Baron. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. I only have one question for you. I don't see why not, since the IFDs are pin compatible with the GNS units. Is your Bonanza going to get a G3X Touch display? I asked Kris when he was over at Avidyne if they were coming out with a replacement display similar to the G3X, but of course, he couldn't answer that, even if he knew. Still, a glass display in your cockpit to go with the EDM-930 and the new IFDs would be the ising on the cake!

[@martinpauly]

Hi Gary, You are on the right track, Baron Pilot has talked to me about the IFDs and given me the "grand tour" back in April at Sun 'n Fun. I know he liked his Avidyne equipment, and I am quickly learning why as I get to know mine. As for the G3X, at some point I sure would like to have an EFIS in front of me, but I can't do it all at once. When the time comes, I'll have to see what brand makes the most sense - fortunately we have some choices. Regards, Martin

@@martinpauly What happens if the power dies? Your nice glass cockpit might not show you a lot for very long. I am to cautious, I would like both glass and analogue in there. The very basics anyway, show you if you are the right way up and height from the ground, though it is nice to see if you are on the glide path by flying through the boxes. Does your equipment show you coming into the runway even if it is fog outside? Ignore me, I am just jealous, I don't even have a plane to fit it all to. lol

[@blackrockcity]

Does anyone know the root cause of WiFi unreliability in the IFD550? Which embedded OS does this run? Which SOC does it have? Is the WiFi antenna internal or external? Is there a method to verify that the RS232 capstone data continues to flow even after the WiFi goes down?

[@minnesnowtan9970]

I am still a student, so if my question seems uninformed it is. Does the iPad need to be connected to a service such as verizon or At&t, or can it stand on its own? I am assuming the GPS iPads that are not wifi only.

[@martinpauly]

The iPad does not need an internet connection in flight. It receives GPS position as well as ADS-B traffic and weather through the WIFI provided by the Avidyne IFD. That's all the updates it needs in flight. Regards, Martin
