New From Bendix/King
With two new products, Bendix/King has inaugurated its Apex Edge Series. The “next-generation” KSN 770 is an MFD for general aviation that will incorporate GPS and WAAS capability with new software-based VHF communication and navigation radio. The KSN 770 features a state-of-the-art graphical interface, INAV GA, originally designed for Honeywell’s large, integrated business aircraft cockpits. Featuring a 5.7-inch, high-resolution display and a sleek, ergonomic, intuitive design, the system also includes a comprehensive moving map and multiple control units to optimize the pilot interface.
The KFD 840 is an affordable replacement option for all the analog instruments in the steam gauge “six pack.” It can complement other systems or be used as a stand-alone PFD for Bendix/King’s new line of avionics, including the KSN 770. It’s designed to integrate with common autopilots and features an 8.4-inch LCD and an internal ADAHRS. For more, contact Bendix/King at (877) 712-2386. www.bendixking.com
