Over what wireless connection can pilots send and receive information with the IFD and their iPad?

Wi-Fi

Bluetooth

AirDrop

RF signals

Please select an option. Incorrect The IFD acts as a local area network hub to send and receive data when connected to an iPad.

How does Avidyne work with so many 3rd party Electronic Flight Bag apps?

Avidyne is a subsidiary of Boeing

Avidyne makes its wireless SDK available to any developer that wants to integrate

Open-sourced protocols available on the public domain

Avidyne owns the rights to each app

Please select an option. Incorrect Interoperability requires having the source code for wireless protocols, which is available in a Software Development Kit

What is the IFD100 app?

A standalone EFB like Foreflight or FlyQ

A training app meant to simulate the IFD

A “remote control” that can provide a larger instance of the installed IFD

A paid app that is required for functionality of the IFD

Please select an option. Incorrect IFD100 is free on the app store and is meant to match the features and functionality of the panel-mounted IFD. It is not a flight planning app or another EFB.

What additional page is available on IFD100 when connected to an IFD550?

Datalink weather

Video

Air Data Calculator

Egocentric Synthetic Vision Display

Please select an option. Incorrect The IFD100 app matches the features of the IFD it is connected to, except IFD100 will have the ability to show charts, even when connected to an IFD4xx. The IFD550 has an additional ‘SVS Page’ that will display attitude information much like an attitude indicator.

How do I download Jeppesen Databases onto my iPad for use with IFD100?

Through the JDM app

Lightning cable connected to a Mac Desktop Computer

Database Download Page on IFD100

These are not necessary

Please select an option. Incorrect Databases are downloaded to the iPad through the IFD100 app and are critical for full functionality of the app when connected to an IFD through a host or client network over Wi-Fi.

What will happen if my IFD and IFD100 app Nav database cycles do not match?

Flight plans will not transfer to/from the iPad and IFD

The aircraft will be considered unairworthy

IFR is prohibited until the databases match

Com/Nav frequencies will be ‘Red X-ed’ on the app

Please select an option. Incorrect Flight plan transfer relies heavily on matching information found in the navigation database package. IFD100 is an optional tool and has no effect on airworthiness.

How do I know if my databases are expired or otherwise not current in both the IFD and IFD100 app?

A “databases not current” CAS message will appear

Databases will be in yellow on the Database Status Page

The IFD will not allow for flight plan entry

It will not allow me to connect to the IFD over Wi-Fi

Please select an option. Incorrect The IFD will display current databases for Nav, Obstacle, terrain, and charts (if applicable) in white letters/numbers. You will still be able to enter flight plans and connect via Wi-Fi. There is no CAS message for outdated databases.

What setting found in IFD100 App Settings needs to be turned on to receive traffic and weather from a portable device such as a Stratus3?

IFD Type

Auto Enable Missed

WIFI ADS-B Support

Local Network

Please select an option. Incorrect Traffic and weather are ADS-B products. This setting selects which source the app gets its ADS-B products from; either from the portable or from the IFD itself.

What is the name of the default host network on the IFD?

IFD_WIFI

IFD_Internet

Default

LIO_WIFI

Please select an option. Incorrect The Wi-Fi functionality is housed in the LIO board inside the IFD

With regard to flight plan transfer to the IFD, what is the largest difference between IFD100 and Foreflight?

It is automatic with the IFD100 app and must be sent to the panel in Foreflight

It is automatic in Foreflight and must be synced in IFD100

Approaches will not carry over from Foreflight flight plans

Foreflight also needs matching databases for flight plan transfer

Please select an option. Incorrect Foreflight requires you to sync the flight plan, but it will still carry over all approach, airway, and SID/STARs but doesn’t require matching nav database cycles like IFD100 does.
