Chapter 1
Welcome and Introduction
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 EFD system is built around the EFD1000 Pro MAX PFD, which
replaces a vertical pair of your six primary flight instruments. The PFD
has a bright, high-resolution, six-inch diagonal LCD display, and several
knobs, buttons, and keys 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).
