Description

So Intuitive And Powerful You’ll Wonder Why You Didn’t Upgrade Sooner. The perfect Garmin GNS530 slide in replacement.

We gave the IFD540 everything a pilot could want in an FMS|GPS|NAV|COM. The FMS Preview™ lets you easily create, upload and review your flight plans visually with changes shown on the screen before selection plus in-flight changes are a snap because GeoFill™ predicts your next entry based on your location, not the sequence in the database. The IFD540 even amps up your safety and situational awareness – Synthetic Vision provides you with an enhanced “VFR-Like” view of what’s in front of the aircraft displaying 3D terrain with hazard alerting, obstacles, and traffic. Everything you need to see on a bright, easy-to-view 5.7” touchscreen. And it is a Garmin GNS530 slide in replacement.
