Benefits

Cutting Edge Technology Without the Cutting
  • AV-30 fits in your existing 3” panel slot seamlessly. By mounting from behind, it preserves the “round dial” look, and eliminates the need for cutting or replacing your panel.
Probeless Angle of Attack (AOA) - Avoid Stalls
  • The AV-30 alerts you visually and aurally if you approach a dangerous AoA. AoA is calculated by comparing the aircraft’s pitch, flight path, and G-loading.

In The Box

  • AV-30 Experimental
  • Harness Kit (Serial connectors/pins/case housing/grounding strap, etc. Not assembled)
  • AV-LINK Experimental
  • Install hardware

Reviews

Dont have it in the airplane yet but it works perfectly on the bench. Customer support has been outstanding when I had questions about wiring and installation, responding by email the same day. User interface is simple, thorough, and intuitive. Seems to be a solid, well-designed unit and Im looking forward to getting it in the air.

Original AV-30E was purchased to replace a faulty DG and was problematic. Since the 2.4.1 update, everything seems to be far better. Purchased a second to replace my attitude indicator and am removing my vacuum system now! so far so good! The traffic feature is quite nice!

At first I thought I made a mistake buying two of these, but after flying with them for 6 months, I have to say I honestly love them and Im glad I stuck with them. The customer support has been amazing and attentive. My biggest headache was excessive heading drift, for which uAvionix has just announced a software fix. It will prevent the unit from capturing a bad calibration on start-up / shut-down and prevent the problem. Im excited for it to arrive. The units can be trimmed by the user to calibrate any of the numbers that may be off from your steam gauges, such as airspeed and altitude. After trimming, my numbers stay dead-on. I paired mine with the Davtron temp probe and I really enjoy being able to see TAS and OAT readouts directly on the unit. These are great little units to get you by in style and on a budget.

Beware of updated model # that has upgraded internal circuit protection. Old part #s are still being stocked and should be changed out.

Bench tested only so far, but appears to be everything hoped for. Moderately easy to set up.

The av-30 provides a lot of information in one instrument. AS, Artificial Horizon, Altimeter, vertical trend, voltage, directional gyro, and more. You are able to configure the V speeds. Con’s limited navigation tracking. There is a av-30 simulator on the uavionix website. I was able to get familiar with the unit before it was installed. All-in-all, the instrument meets my expectations.

Really impressive fonctionnalties .Excellent lightning and reading. Have to confirm when airborne.Not yet installed in my panel because still unable to find install menu to set Vspeeds,speed units and barrio units. Not clearly shown in the on line manual. Matter of time.

Q&A

Please note, Aircraft Spruce's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: At manual for AV-30 written that IAS units can be only KTS and MPH. Is it possible to add KMH? The same question fot ALT units, it is only Feet. Is it possible to add Meters?

Per the manufacturer: these will not display KMH.

Q: Good morning, I'm planning to visit the 2020 Sun Fun and pick up an AV-30 CERTIFIED at your booth, obviously ordered in time. Do you think the instrument will be ready certified for that time?

There is a certified version of this unit. Please see Part# 11-17556. We are expecting first delivery of the certified version in January of 2020. Part # 11-17555 will not become certified, it will only be for experimental so for certified applications, be sure to order 11-17556.

Q: The manual indicates the AOA has a slow speed limit of 35 knots. I am looking at putting it on an experimental aircraft with a stall speed of 30 statute miles an hour. What happens to the instrument reading when you go below 35 knots?

Because the limit is 35 knots, it will not display anything until it is over that speed.

Q: Does the Uavionix AV-30 unit show bank angle (or at least some of the common points 15/30/60)?

No. This unit does not show bank angle.

Q: Will the AV-30 link with a Tru-Trk auto pilot like the 2020 planned S-Tec adapter can it be used on other brand auto pilot?

At this moment we do not have this information available as Uavionix has not released this information.

Q: When in HSI mode can this Uavionix AV30 unit display vertical guidance from a GPS for an LPV approach?

Per Uavionix: there is no vertical guidance at all. There is only the horizontal steering indicator when in DG Mode.

Q: Will the AV-30 unit show speed limits (Green, White, Yellow arc, Vne red line) etc. I didnt find it in the specifications)

Yes, the gauge will have a green and red arc for the indicated airspeed.

Q: Does this pair with the Garmin 495 GPS?

Yes, The Garmin 495 provides NMEA output that can be received and displayed by the AV-30. The AV-30 supports NMEA protocol at baud rate speeds of 4800 and 9600, while "Aviation/moving map" protocol is fixed at a 9600 baud rate.

Q: Does the AV30 have an internal GPS?

No. Per the installation manual, it can function without a GPS signal, however it will require a GPS signal for full functionality. The GPS signal must be supplied to the unit, it is not internal.

Q: Does AV30 (Experimental) pair with the Garmin 150XL GPS?

Yes, the Garmin 150XL sends AVI aviation format and NMEA format that can be displayed by the AV-30.
