Chapter 1
Welcome to Aspen Avionics’ Evolution Flight Display (EFD) system, the
most flexible, expandable, and upgradable Electronic Flight Instrument
System (EFIS) available for General Aviation aircraft. The EFD system is
designed to replace traditional, mechanical primary flight instruments—
in whole or in part, all at once, or in phases. This modularity and
upgradability allow the system to grow with you and your airplane,
over time and affordably.
The EFD1000/500 MAX has a bright, high-resolution, six-inch diagonal
LCD display, and a number of knobs and buttons the pilot uses to
control the system. The three-inch diameter, four-inch deep can on
the back of the display slides into existing panel cutouts (where the top
mechanical instrument used to be) and it can also be recess mounted
(
