The goal was to produce a pilot friendly, relatively inexpensive navigation display unit for general aviation aircraft which would diminish the navigational workload by quickly providing a vast amount of data while demanding minimal attention from the pilot. The project began in March 1988, ending in December 1990, with the Navscreen Model FD-100 accepted by the FAA for installation in certified aircraft. The NavScreen is an exciting, new, low cost way of displaying navigation information, using LORAN position data to show pilots at a glance, on a moving map display, where they are, where they are going, and where they have been with respect to all airports 100nm from their present location. Over 11,000 U.S. airport diagrams are contained on one easily updated 3-1/2 inch diskette which slides in the front of the unit. The NavScreen fits a standard 4 inch x 6 inch avionics slot in the instrument panel.
