Avidyne says it now offers the most comprehensive onboard weather products package with the launch of the Entegra Wx Series. The company announced the further development in its weather products as AOPA Expo was getting under way in San Jose, Calif. The system will comprise "the newly-TSO'd MLX770 Two-way Datalink Transceiver and the MLB700 Broadcast Datalink Receiver serving worldwide WSI InFlight® datalink weather, as well as Avidyne's TWX670 Tactical Color Lightning System providing real-time on-board weather detection," according to a company release.

Avidyne CEO Dan Scwhinn said Avidyne expanded its relationship with weather data provider WSI to offer the worldwide coverage in the new system. "...we have orchestrated a suite of sensors and data services that position Avidyne as the single-source worldwide weather solutions provider for general aviation," said Schwinn. Avidyne also announced a new warranty program extending coverage on its products.
