Welcome & Introduction
Welcome to Aspen Avionics’ Evolution Flight Display (EFD) system, the
most exible, expandable, and upgradable Electronic Flight Instrument
System (EFIS) available for General Aviation aircraft. Designed to replace
traditional, mechanical primary ight instruments—in whole or in part,
all at once, or in phases. This modularity and upgradability allows the
system to grow with you and your airplane, over time and aordably.
The EFD system is built around the EFD1000 Display Unit, which replaces a vertical pair
of your six primary ight instruments. The EFD1000 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)
(Figure 1-1).
