Wi-Fi password

Can you tell us if you have anything non-Apple coming soon?

I, for one, would be delighted to give you 2 weeks to get this capability!

Thanks

I've flown with a Stratus and the only thing that happens is the Ipad shows the new network. The Stratus connects like it always did. Nothing to worry about.

It shouldn't.  I've stayed in plenty of hotels where there were multiple wi-fi networks "in view" and it never had any affect on the one I connected to with my device.

Avidyne uses Bluetooth for keyboard data entry but we use much more capable WiFi for airplane internal network and external out of the plane network communications.   This is very different in the minds of the cert authorities.   There are a number of other important differences that matter too but I'll leave them out for the purposes of this thread.

Give us 2 weeks.

Understood, and thanks for the clarification Steve. While choosing the wifi route for this type of exchange may result in a more full-function end-state, it does put Avidyne at a disadvantage when it comes to short term time to market wrt specific capability such as flight plan sync with ForeFlight. Given that this was announced 18mo ago, I'm sure you appreciate the frustration that Garmin is simply delivering the capability, especially for the old G430W/G530W boxes that the IFD's are meant to replace. Even with all the IFD capability, a customer can have the flight plan sync with ForeFlight today with the G430W/530W today and not yet with the IFD's.

Interesting that Avidyne is having trouble getting the FAA into a comfort zone on this after trying for so long when Garmin is saying that their Flight Stream can do 2-way transfer via wifi today of flight plans with even the old G430W/530W devices and ForeFlight, albeit with a $999 surcharge for the Flight Stream box ... "Flight Stream 210 adds the capability for flight plan syncing with the GTN 750/650 series and GNS 430W/530W series navigators as well as the ability to display attitude information using an on-board AHRS¹." Or is this also just slideware? Looks real, with a 1-3 day delivery lead.

Understood.

The question would then be why not provide access to the wireless network in the cockpit and thereby allowing peer to peer connectivity?

Perhaps a minor clarification...

Avidyne doesn't use the NavWorx Wi-Fi module.  The NavWorx Wi-Fi module itself actually works quite well.  It simply isn't a required interface in an Avidyne panel.

Won't do you any good until the app makers release their apps. The Navworx wifi module does not work.
