Avidyne DFC90
If you're seeking an autopilot that's easy to use, highly accurate, and offers turbine-class features, Avidyne’s DFC90 is the answer. This attitude-based autopilot eliminates the overshoots and flutters of older, rate-based systems, especially during ILS approaches in windy conditions. Unlike autopilots with basic displays, the DFC90 clearly shows engaged functions with backlit buttons and display indicators, giving you peace of mind and control.

Avidyne’s DFC 90 Autopilot is a precision, attitude-based flight control system featuring all the standard vertical and lateral modes of operation of a turbine-class autopilot system, including Flight Director (FD), Altitude Hold (ALT), Airspeed Hold (IAS), Vertical Speed Hold (VS), Heading (HDG), and Navigation (NAV, APPR, LOC/GS, GPSS).
The DFC 90 also features unique functions engineered to prevent common GA autopilot issues like stalls, over speeds, or exceeding the flight parameter envelope – all at a price significantly less than competitive units that offer less functionality.
TOP FEATURES
Includes the standard vertical and lateral modes of operation of a turbine-class autopilot system, including Flight Director (FD), Altitude Hold (ALT), Airspeed Hold (IAS), Vertical Speed Hold (VS), Heading (HDG), and Navigation (NAV, APPR, LOC/GS, GPSS).
EP® – Avidyne’s Envelope Protection – Provides visual and aural warnings to the pilot and prevents autopilot-induced stalls and over speeds when the autopilot is engaged (this has been a major contributing factor in autopilot-caused GA accidents).
STRAIGHT & LEVEL” BUTTON – Overrides all autopilot modes and levels the aircraft in both pitch and roll recovering the aircraft from unusual attitudes The S&L button provides added peace of mind—especially for a non-pilot in the right seat (i.e. Cirrus Parachute).
SYNCHRONIZED HEADING BUG – With the DFC90, turns are commanded with the motion of the heading knob. For example, the autopilot will execute a right-hand 270-degree turn if you rotate the heading knob right, 270 degrees.
ATTITUDE-BASED – Greatly improves stability when tracking an ILS to minimums in windy conditions.
EA® – Avidyne’s Envelope Alerting provides visual and aural warnings to the pilot when the aircraft is nearing its normal flight parameters, even when the autopilot is off.
INDICATED AIRSPEED HOLD (IAS) – Provides constant speed flight level changes plus the new vertical mode includes a dedicated airspeed knob and a new airspeed bug on the PFD.
ENHANCED FLIGHT DIRECTOR – The capability of the DFC90 is vastly improved and significantly improves the ability to hand-fly approaches.
