An Avidyne IFD navigator has its own Wi-Fi. Join it from your tablet and iFly can send flight plans to the panel, receive plans from it, and use the IFD as a data source.
Avidyne's walkthrough
Connecting the iFly EFB to Avidyne IFD · 4:33 · Open on YouTube
Steps
- In your tablet's Wi-Fi settings, join the IFD's network. The default password is abcdef1234 unless your installer changed it.
- Open iFly EFB and go to Menu › Setup › ADS-B › Options › Change Selected Device. Choose Avidyne. Panel devices are not auto-detected, so this step is required.
- Open Flight Plan and enter your route.
- Tap More Options › Share / Export Flight Plan › Share to Local Network. Accept the plan on the IFD.
Once the IFD is the selected device, an Avidyne entry appears in the Flight Plan screen (or under More Options). From there you can reset the connection, send the current plan again, or pull the plan the IFD is flying into iFly.
If nothing happens
- The tablet dropped the IFD's Wi-Fi because it has no internet. Rejoin it; on Android, turn on Airplane Mode first and then Wi-Fi.
- The selected device is still Auto Detect. Set it to Avidyne (step 2).
- Close any other EFB app that is connected to the IFD.
- Use Avidyne › Reset connection and try the send again.
