Integrated Flight Deck for your King Air The Avidyne/S-TEC Alliant Integrated Flight Deck provides a full-featured glass flight deck & digital autopilot upgrade for your 90-Series and 200-Series King Air. Alliant increases safety, utility, and value. Virtually all new General Aviation aircraft are enjoying the safety and reliability benefits of all-glass flight decks. With the Alliant King Air Program, Avidyne and S-TEC have joined forces to create a retrofit solution for your King Air 200 and C90 that adds all the benefits of today’s integrated flight decks for much less than purchasing a new aircraft. The Alliant King Air upgrade increases safety and adds years of additional utility to your aircraft. In addition, Alliant provides long term resale value for your aircraft. before after Avidyne Envision™ – Integrated Avionics for the Retrofit Market Avidyne’s CMax™ Electronic Charts offer a world-wide library of geo-referenced approach charts and airport diagrams, helping you manage and access critical flight information and reducing the amount of paper required on board your aircraft. Utilizing Jeppesen’s trusted JeppView™ Electronic Airway Manual, CMax makes accessing an approach or viewing an airport diagram a breeze. At startup, your departure airport chart is automatically loaded for ease of orientation, especially at unfamiliar fields. Your destination airport diagram and the list of available approaches are automatically loaded at the time your flight plan is entered, and can be viewed easily using the auto-fill capability, or you can easily select and view any approach at any airport in the database. More than Just a Pretty Face Envision is Avidyne’s new retrofitable Integrated Flight Deck system that is designed with the flexibility to be installed in a number of different aircraft types and configurations. Envision adds all the enhanced situational awareness and reliability benefits of an all- glass flight deck to virtually any general aviation aircraft. Using Avidyne’s Envision Integrated Displays and the STEC 2100 Intelliflight Autopilot, the Alliant Integrated Flight Deck provides state-of-the-art situational awareness, safety, reliability, and redundancy for your King Air. Alliant uses dual Avidyne EXP5000 Primary Flight Displays (PFD) to integrate the pilot’s and copilot’s standard flight instruments. The dual 10.4” diagonal, large-format flat panel displays provide easy-to- interpret symbology that improves situational awareness and reduces pilot workload. Dual EXP5000 PFDs present standard flight instrumentation including Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (ADI), Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI), altitude, airspeed, and vertical speed. Pilot-selectable moving map presentations of flight plan data and Bearing Pointer are within the primary field of view, greatly reducing pilot workload. The EXP5000 provides full integration with the autopilot bug controls, allowing the pilot to see the autopilot targets on the primary instruments. EXP5000 also contains an integrated solid-state air data and attitude/heading reference system (ADAHRS) providing full redundancy as well as much higher reliability than traditional “spinning-mass” gyros. The integrated air data computer provides a valuable full-time instantaneous wind vector displayed on the EXP5000, taking the guesswork out of finding the right altitude to optimize your flight time and correcting for winds while entering the pattern or flying an approach. Trend indicators provide six-second trend data for airspeed, altitude and heading, allowing you to fly more precisely with reduced workload when changing or maintaining an airspeed or altitude. Redundancy and Reliability Fully-integrated, dual-independent ADAHRS systems are selectable for each EXP5000 and each ADAHRS can drive both EXP5000s. On-screen annunciations show cross-side ADAHRS selection. Advanced system monitors and Avidyne’s exc lusive Cross-Compare System™ (CCS) provide visual alerts in the unlikely event of a data discrepancy, providing unsurpassed redundancy and increased safety of flight. A ‘Pilot Priority’ switch allows the pilot to ‘lock out’ the co-pilot PFD controls, for peace of mind when a non-pilot is in the right seat. MultiFunction Display With Alliant, you have the choice of the 10.4” EX500 or the 5.4” EX500 MultiFunction Display. The EX500/EX5000 MFDs feature high-resolution moving maps that shows flight plan information Alliant’s EX500/EX5000 MFDs include CMax™ Electronic Charts, and have interfaces to many popular airborne weather radar systems, as well as interfaces for EGPWS/TAWS, lightning and traffic. CMax™ – Maximizing Your Approach All-Digital, Attitude-Based Autopilot The S-TEC IntelliFlight™ 2100 is a full-featured digital, multi-axis, attitude-based autopilot. The IntelliFlight 2100 features all the advanced modes you come to expect on a high-end digital autopilot including: GPS Roll Steering (GPSS), Heading Hold, NAV & Approach Modes, Altitude Hold with Altitude Trim, Indicated Airspeed (IAS) Hold, Vertical Speed Select & Hold, Course Intercept Capability, and Yaw Damper. Incorporating the most advanced features and functionality ever introduced into a general aviation autopilot system, the new-generation IntelliFlight™ 2100 Digital FlightControl System (DFCS) is the culmination of S-TEC’s nearly 30 years as the worldwide leader in autopilot innovation. The advanced functionality found in the IntelliFlight 2100, combined with Avidyne’s Envision™ integrated avionics suite provide King Air 200 and C90 pilots with a level of capability that they could previously only hope for and complement them with an ease of operation that is unmatched by any comparable system. In creating the IntelliFlight 2100, S-TEC didn’t just design a new autopilot, it engineered an integral part of the Alliant Integrated Flight Deck that would take full advantage of the advanced capabilities offered by the Avidyne Envision PFD.

For example, the IntelliFlight 2100 features Indicated Air Speed (IAS) Hold and Control Wheel Steering (CWS) functions. After selecting the target climb or descent airspeed on the Envision PDF, the IAS Hold function allows you to direct the autopilot to hold the desired Indicated Air Speed by simply pressing the IAS button on the IntelliFlight’s control panel. The function makes it easy to maintain specific airspeed management during climbs and descents. Another feature of the IntelliFlight 2100 is Control Wheel Steering. When the autopilot is engaged, a switch on the yoke activates IntelliFlight’s CWS function, which disengages the servos, allowing the pilot to maneuver the aircraft as desired. When the CWS switch is released, the servos will re-engage and return to normal operation. The IntelliFlight 2100 also offers all the other capabilities pilots expect in a top-tier digital flight control system including GPS Roll Steering (GPSS), Heading Hold, NAV and Approach Modes, Altitude Pre-select, Altitude Hold with Auto-Trim, Vertical Speed (VE), Course Intercept Capability and Yaw Damper. While the IntelliFlight 2100 is one of the most advanced autopilots available it is also one of the easiest to use. Like every S-TEC autopilot, this advanced digital flight control system is designe0d around putting you in control of your aircraft though every phase of flight. From takeoff to touchdown, the S-TEC IntelliFlight 2100 DFCS combined with Avidyne’s Envision System creates the ultimate flight management system for King Air 200 and C90 owners and operators. S-TEC Intelliflight™ Digital Autopilot Avidyne leads the industry in datalink-capable multifunction displays and the EX500 and EX5000 MFDs provide the most advanced, and easiest-to-use datalink systems you can get. Interfacing the MFD with Avidyne’s MLB700 Broadcast Datalink Receiver gives pilots comprehensive, graphical information about weather conditions all across the Continental United States (CONUS). The trip page shows all waypoints in the flight plan, along with graphical and textual METARs at each reporting waypoint. Using the industry-leading WSI InFlight®Weather Service, and the SIRIUS® Satellite Radio Network, the EX500 and EX5000 MFDs display critical, near-real time information for pilots including WSI’s exclusive high-resolution NOWrad® radar mosaic, overlaid right on the moving map. The satellite datalink weather system also provides Storm Track Vectors, Hail Warnings, AIRMETs, SIGMETs, graphical and textual METARs, TAFs, Temperatures and Winds Aloft, and Lightning from the United States Precision Lightning Network. EX500/EX5000 shows Winds & Temperatures Aloft to help determine best cruising altitude. SIRIUS Satellite Radio Access more than 130 channels of digital-quality music, sports, news, and talk radio through your aircraft’s audio system. Audio content can be selected from anywhere in the aircraft using the RC70 wireless RF remote control.
