Avidyne IFD Software Release: Version 10.2.3.1
Avidyne is planning to release IFD software version 10.2.3.1 before the end of March for all models and versions of IFDs. All Avidyne IFDs will require a MANDATORY update to address the GPS week rollover that takes place on April 6, 2019. This update is necessary to maintain proper display of ADS-B and SXM weather as well as other date related functions including proper display of database currency. No GPS/NAV/COM functions are affected.
If you do not update your IFD to address the GPS rollover issue, on April 6th at midnight GMT, the system will report the date as being approximately 19 years in the past. Even if you are using a current navigation database, the system will show that the database is not yet valid. If you are using SXM or ADS-B weather, you will lose access to some of your Datalink weather products. NAV/COM functions are not affected.
Contact us if you have any questions or to schedule your update.
