Self-exchange upgrade from IFD540 to 550

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I know that Avidyne has removed the documentation guide for self exchange from a GNS430 to an IFD440 due to the complications associated with required ADSB signals.
In my case, I am about to self-exchange an IFD540 for an IFD550.  Is there any documentation or guidance associated with that?

I am confident in my abilities to physically perform the swap and to transfer over the user settings.  However, I "don't know what I don't know" and am concerned there may be some subtle "gotchas" I might blunder into, such as:
- Are there going to be any issues with changing the N-number on the new device from the old owner's plane to my N-number?
- Are there places on the MyAvidyne site where I need to update serial numbers associated with my account?  (Those data seems to have been wiped out earlier this year when the back-end for that system was replaced, so I think the answer there is "no" as I need to re-input those data myself anyway.)

Is it possible to get an updated copy of the IFD Installation manual for reference?
