uAvionix software upgrade includes integration with ForeFlight

uAvionix has released AV-30 software version 3.2.0 for the experimental AV-30-E, with the update for the certified AV-30-C expected soon after.

The update allows pilots to plan a route in ForeFlight, push it directly to the AV-30, and have the autopilot follow the flight plan, uAvionix officials explain.

With this new capability, pilots can:

• Use ForeFlight as a navigation source for the AV-30, unlocking an interface for flight planning and navigation.
• Push waypoints and routes directly from ForeFlight to the AV-30, enabling the autopilot to follow a ForeFlight-defined flight plan with GPS steering and advanced waypoint anticipation.
• Update the active flight plan mid-flight from ForeFlight, adding waypoints or making route changes to avoid weather or comply with ATC instructions, with updates instantly reflected on the AV-30.

“This update brings an entirely new level of capability to the AV-30,” said John Chargo, Engineer at uAvionix. “With 3.2.0, pilots get a truly streamlined and seamless ForeFlight-to-panel experience. Building a route in ForeFlight and having it appear instantly on the AV-30, ready for the autopilot to follow, transforms how we plan and fly. It’s an exciting step forward for making advanced capability accessible to every GA cockpit.”

To enable ForeFlight integration, an AV-Link Wi-Fi bridge is required to push and update flight plans. For autopilot coupling, the Advanced Autopilot Unlock is required, company officials noted.

The update is available to AV-30-E users now, with AV-30-C availability to follow.
