uAvionix‘s AV-30-E multimode indicator now includes digital autopilot interface capabilities for experimental aircraft owners.
With the ability to control autopilot heading, altitude, and vertical speed from its user interface, the AV-30-E provides a “highly integrated and capable replacement for traditional attitude indicators and directional gyro instruments,” according to company officials.
A no-cost software upgrade for the non-certified AV-30-E is available now, featuring support for the following autopilots:
- TruTrak Vizion 385 and Vizion PMA
- BendixKing xCruze 100 and AeroCruze 100
Additional digital autopilots, including the Trio Pro Pilot, are undergoing integration testing, company officials added.
Certification of the autopilot interface capabilities for the AV-30-C is underway, officials added.
In addition to autopilot interface capabilities, the AV-30 series will soon gain support for an external magnetometer, the uAvionix AV-Mag. Designed with a magnetic sensor, the AV-Mag allows for increased performance and decreased workload through zero-drift magnetically slaved DG operation, company officials explained.
The AV-30-E for experimental aircraft costs $1,595.
