This needs to go to marketing.

After swapping out my 430W for the IFD440 the ADSB speed readouts as shown on flight aware look like an EKG readout. On a flight today the speed would jump from 210 to a high of 873MPH!!!

I have always like the speed of the Baron but if I could maintain some of these top speeds I would really like it. Never had this with the 430 so I am assuming it must be related to the swap. Anyone have any ideas?

Avidyne is really missing the boat on this. Instead of advertising the 440 as a avionics upgrade they should sell it as a speed mod :)
