The KMD 250 is intended
for piston singles. The new MFD offers most of the advantages of the KMD550
and 850 displays but without the radar and terrain awareness and warning
system (TAWS) interfaces, systems the vast majority of singles don’t
need. (Those that do can always use the higher-end KMD display systems.)
The KMD 250 is slightly smaller than the 550 or the 850. With a 3.8” diagonal
display, compared with the 5” screen of the KMD 550, the size difference
is slight. The 250 measures 3” high, compared to 4” for the
550. The software and remaining capabilities on the KMD 250 are nearly
identical to those on the KMD 550, so pilots familiar with one of Honeywell’s
other MFDs will have an easy time transitioning to the new hardware. Bendix/King
offers 2 versions of the KMD 250, one that gets its GPS data from a separate
GPS navigator and one that has a built-in GPS. The model with the built-in
GPS can be used as a standalone VFR unit, or it can be interfaced with
a separate GPS, such as Bendix/King’s KLN 94 color IFR-approved moving
map GPS. TSO Certified
