New device enables airborne avionics testing

By General Aviation News Staff · July 12, 2021 ·

 Viavi Solutions Inc. has introduced the VIAVI AVX-10K Flight Line Test Set, which enables performance verification testing of critical airborne systems from a simple-to-use device.

The AVX-10K validates the installation and performance of airborne systems during required bi-annual checks, as outlined in FAR Part 43 sections 91.411 (reported altitude tests) and 91.413. The single device combines the navigation and communication test features of the VIAVI IFR4000 and the surveillance test features of the VIAVI IFR6000.

With test capabilities ranging from a quick system auto-test to in-depth troubleshooting, the AVX-10K can be used for maintenance needs in the cockpit and anywhere around the aircraft, according to company officials.

The AVX-10K offers an intuitive user interface to help avionics technicians work more efficiently by streamlining setup, testing and reporting, company officials noted. Plus, the device can be remotely operated with the VIAVI Solutions Mobile Tech App on a smartphone or tablet, enabling technicians to perform tests around the aircraft or even in the cockpit.

“With the AVX-10K, VIAVI gives FBOs, MROs, and OEMs a powerful new way to streamline testing and maximize their technicians’ productivity,” said Guy Hill, Director of Avionics Test Products for VIAVI.
