as of late April the status has gone to “any day now” with a caveat that the FAA has given themselves
another 2 months in theory to finish their approvals, though they don’t appear to be using that full time
allotment (hence the “any day now” state). The two systems share all the same software and many of the
same hardware components.

AeroPlan is an extended warranty option available for the IFD440 and IFD540 products.
It was created to provide a way that Avidyne can lower your long term cost of ownership by having you
lower our long term cost of legal activity should you elect to sign up for the option.
AeroPlan has been offered for some of our Entegra products for a couple of years and has been well
received. Many (but not all) customers have chosen to sign up and receive the benefit. However, it’s not for
everyone and the choice is yours whether to participate. You must sign up for any of the terms to apply to
your installation.
Some additional background that motivated the offering:
Avidyne has been a party to a number of lawsuits, at least one where it had not manufactured a product on
the aircraft, where the frivolous nature of lawsuits became apparent.
The status quo of the liability arena in general aviation has to change-no longer should a manufacturer be
included in a lawsuit solely because its equipment was on an aircraft involved in an accident.
Avidyne has been subject to statements such as: “ we know you are not the target here, but it will cost
Avidyne 6 figures to defend the suit, just give us a % of that and we will agree to release you from the
lawsuit.” This has been the status quo, insurers participated in the problem by doing a mathematical
calculation and participating in the resolution of lawsuits on the basis of reducing cost and expense savings,
not on the basis of analysis of actions and determination of a problem with the Avidyne product. This has
clearly cost us a lot and for no value and no improvement in aviation safety.
In an effort to control the unreasonable inclusion of Avidyne in suits, Avidyne created an optional extended
warranty with a waiver program for consideration by its customer base. This waiver program would benefit
customers that chose to agree to the reduced pricing of the AeroPlan extended warranty in exchange for an
agreement to a limitation on some of their legal rights. The program would benefit Avidyne by creating
barriers for its inclusion in lawsuits where it was not determined as the probable cause of an accident by the
independent NTSB expert body. Avidyne has not sought to remove itself from responsibility if its product
