Overview
Warnings
Carefully review this Owner’s Manual and make sure you thoroughly understand iFly 700’s functionality and
operation before attempting to use the unit during actual flight.
Do not install the iFly 700 where it obstructs the pilot’s field of view or interferes with operating controls.
The flight indicators shown on the iFly 700 are based on GPS-derived data and may differ from the your
aircraft’s instruments.
The altitude shown on the iFly 700 is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and may differ from the altitude
displayed by pressure altimeters. Always use the pressure altitude displayed by your aircraft’s altimeter for
determining aircraft altitude.
While flying, compare indicators from the iFly 700 with other available navigation sources, including the
information from cockpit gauges, other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. Although unlikely, it is
possible for erroneous operation to occur with the iFly 700. It is the responsibility of the pilot to resolve any
discrepancies before continuing navigation.
GPS and Source Data Notes
The United States government operates the Global Positioning System (GPS) and is solely responsible for
its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and
performance of the iFly 700.
Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars can cause an intermittent loss of altitude
and heading displays while the aircraft is on the ground.
The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Adventure Pilot
cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.
Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) data is provided by the FAA and may not be updated outside of normal business
hours. Confirm data currency through alternate sources and contact your local FSS for interpretation of TFR.
Do not use outdated sectional maps. Sectionals must be updated regularly to ensure that the information is
accurate. Pilots using outdated sectionals do so at their own risk.
General Notes
Avoid using any chemical or abrasive cleaners on the touchscreen and/or plastic casing. Clean the
touchscreen with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner, if needed.
The iFly 700 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized
service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and the pilot’s authority to
operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.
All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images, are subject to change and may
not reflect the most current iFly 700 GPS receiver. Depictions may differ slightly from the actual unit.
Use of polarized eye wear may cause the flight displays to appear dim or blank.
Only use the power adapters provided with the iFly 700 or recommended by AdventurePilot LLC.
Do not leave the iFly 700 in extremely high or low temperatures. Do not use in a humid environment or
submerge in water.
Do not place near magnets or large speakers. Do not put gold, metallic objects, or electric wave emitting
objects around the iFly 700.

Unit Overview
Mounting on a Windscreen
1. Secure the suction cup to your aircraft’s windscreen.
2. Insert the end of the mounting arm into the keyhole slot on the back of the unit.
3. Tighten the knob closest to the keyhole clockwise until secure.
4. Tighten the next knob clockwise to further secure the unit from vibrating loose.
5. Loosen the two arm adjustment knobs, position the unit as desired, and re-tighten the arm adjustment knobs.
Notes:
Do not install the iFly 700 where it obstructs your field of view or interferes with operating controls.
After installation, make sure the unit is firmly secured.
Connecting to Power
For using in your aircraft, connect the barrel end of the
included cigarette lighter adapter into the jack of the
iFly 700. Plug the other end into a DC 12–28V cigarette
lighter (accessory power port).
For using indoors, connect the barrel end of the included
AC adapter into the DC-12V jack of the iFly 700. Plug the
other end into a standard household outlet.
Powering On
1. The unit automatically turns on when
connected to power.
2. The Home Screen is displayed during
initialization while the iFly 700 collects
satellite data and establishes its present
location.
3. After initialization, a dialog box appears
containing safety warnings, and if
applicable, TFR and sectional expiration.
Touch “More info on expired sectionals”
to view the Sectional Information dialog
box.
Touch”I have read and understand these
warnings” to continue.
4. The sectional map of your location is
displayed with an icon representing
your aircraft shown in the center of the
screen.

• In North Up mode, the chart is always oriented so that
North is up.
• In Track Up mode, the chart is oriented so that the plane
is located at the bottom/center of the map facing straight
up and the map will rotate as the airplane turns.
Note: If you pan the map, the orientation will freeze. When
you touch Follow Plane to resume tracking the airplane,
the map will again rotate to maintain track-up orientation.

Overview
Using the Touch-Screen
Panning
Swipe your finger across the map to move (or “pan”) the view to
another area. Panning temporarily hides all the instruments and
buttons on the map. This can be useful if you need to see text or an
image that is behind something else on the map. For example, the
Altitude instrument may be covering an airport frequency.
Activating Buttons
Activate buttons by touching with your finger and releasing. This works
for buttons on the map (Menu, Zoom In, etc.), and buttons on the
forms and dialog boxes.
Button Fading
In order to maximize the amount screen available for displaying the
map, the control buttons will fade to be almost invisible after about 30
seconds. However, the buttons are still active in this mode. Touching a
faded button works the same as touching a non-faded button.
Switching Sectionals
Only one sectional is displayed at a time (however, both sides of
the sectional are shown at the same time). To switch to another
sectional, touch the area of the screen that contains the sectional you
wish to view and it will be brought into the foreground. Sometimes
two sectional maps will overlap each other, if you wish to view the
sectional that’s “underneath” the currently display map, touch the
Switch Maps button. The Switch Maps button will only be visible if
two or more sectionals are within the boundary of the current screen
Markers
Tap the screen with your finger to drop a “Spot Check” marker on the
map. The Spot Check marker displays the distance and course from
your current location to the spot you touched. It disappears after about
10 seconds.
You can also place a permanent marker at a location, which is useful
for keeping track of your distance and course from a particular point
on the map. Permanent markers are placed from the “Context Menu”
(see page 14).
