With very few exceptions, all software inside the IFDs is capable of being updated via the bezel USB port as
well. This means the IFD does not need to be returned to the factory for any future software updates. The
Avidyne position is that any shop that holds a repair station certificate, an A&P, or an Experimental Aircraft
owner with log book signoff authority can perform the update. They will of course, have to follow the
provided Service Bulletin explicitly and mail/fax/email back in the completed update sheet that is part of the
Service Bulletin but we don't restrict this to just Avidyne dealers. We are using a number of overlapping
means to notify owners that a software update is available, the nature of the update, if it is considered
mandatory or optional and if there is a fee associated with the update. Some new features should be
expected to come with a fee but other sustaining engineering type of software changes may be no-charge.
