I've only flown Garmin, have a contract to purchase a plane with an Avidyne 440 navigator. I am spending some time reading user manuals today. There are a couple neat features, not sure of usefulness. They seem offer a wireless keyboard, don't think one is included in the sale. First impression is that this is of limited utility. Have you ever used one and if so, what did/do you think of it? The other neat thing is the IFD 100 app wherein it seems like an iPad can serve as a full size screen and controller of the information on the limited size 440 screen. Have you used this feature and how do you like it?
One of the things I've enjoyed with my large Garmin screens is that I no longer have/need my iPad on the yoke or limiting my vision outside if window mounted. The new plane has a stick, so use of iPad needs to be thought through, perhaps thigh mounted or spouse mounted...
so, does anyone use the bluetooth keyboard or the IFD 100 iPad app while in flight?
Thanks.
