The Avio Integrated Flight Management System


Your Virtual Copilot

The Dual Avio Integrated Flight Management System (IFMS) on the Eclipse 550 is an incredibly advanced system whose purpose is simple: make piloting the Eclipse Jet safe and easy. By reducing the number of switches and dials in the cockpit and creating an easy to use synoptic page for each aircraft system, the design team at Eclipse has simplified the act of flying by producing pilot controls that are more intuitive.

Take a deep look into the features of Avio IFMS



Integrated Controls: for Flying Single Pilot

The Integrated Flight Management System in the Eclipse 550 greatly reduces pilot workload, and in effect acts as a virtual copilot. Avio IFMS provides digital avionics with demonstrated airline reliability and systems capability unparalleled in the very light jet segment. Avio IFMS features an Integrated Flight Management System, Class 3 E-charts, and XM Satellite Weather. The 13 microprocessors in the IS&S displays control all the major aircraft systems. Dual WAAS / SBAS beta-3 GPS receivers are utilized for precise navigation. With the enhanced situational awareness, electronic charts and maps, display and control of the aircraft systems and the integrated autopilot control panel, the pilot is provided with the most advanced FMS available for the light jet class.

Integrated FMS Includes:

  • Airways and Victor Routes
  • Coupled LPV Approach
  • Vector to Final
  • OBS Mode
  • RNP (Auto / Manual)
  • Easy Insertion of Waypoints
  • Easy Insertion of Holding Patterns
  • Parallel Offsets
  • Procedure Turns and Holding Patterns
  • Active Waypoint Information
  • Missed Approach Information
  • Destination Waypoint Information
  • Nearest / On-Route Airports
  • Ability to Store 99 Flight Plans

Standard Mapping Features:

  • Complete Route on Map
  • Progressive Zooming to Reduce Workload
  • Aircraft Position Information
  • Scroll on Airport Information
  • On-Screen Display of Airways High & Low
  • On-Screen Display of Airspaces & Airport Runways
  • On-Screen Display of Navaids / Intersections
  • On-Screen Display of Stormscope Satellite Weather
  • Graphical Freezing Levels
  • Graphical Winds Aloft
  • Canadian NexRad / Metars TAF

Categorized Controls Make System Control Easy

The avionics system in the Eclipse 550, designed to be completely integrated, gives the pilot the ability to move between graphical systems interfaces quickly, removing unneccessary data and allowing the pilot to focus on the task at hand. Each synoptic page is displayed on the large, high resolution, multi-function display (MFD), providing the pilot a complete picture of the operations and performance of that system, all in one location.
