IFD-100 Features

I can duplicate the settings for the various data blocks and such, but I don't think I can keep the IFD100 in sync with the IFD540. If I change a view in the 540, the 100 stays wherever it was. For example, I can start both say in the Map view, but then I can change one device to a flight plan view, without affecting what the other device shows. 

It does sync in the sense that whatever is entered on the 100 also shows up on the IFD, and visa versa.  I believe the point being made is that the 100 and IFD can independently view different pages, e.g., map view on one and fms view on the other (and any number of other combinations).  So the only syncing needed in that regard is to know which page your student is currently viewing if you want to see the same thing, or telling your student which page to select if you're wanting to illustrate a particular point on that view.

Actually, it will do that provided you are both viewing the same page.

Also, be aware that on the Map page, map tab, that you can have 3 different views; North Up, Track or Heading Up centered, and Track or Heading up arc.  The display of Track or Heading up is dependent on the User Settings that you selected for this on the IFD.

So the IFD in the panel could be showing North Up and the IFD-100 cold be showing Heading or Track up arc.

Press bottom right button on the panel mounted IFD to change map views.  On the IFD-100 touch the Heading Box at the top of the Map page, map tab to switch between map views (I think).
