Easy installation and initial set up. Pilot settings are easy to learn and customize display options. Clear and bright display. Accurately matched my G500 PFD throughout the first 10 hours of flight so far. Great value for my backup instrument.

Updating my previous 2 reviews for installation of dual AVI-30-Cs in my Cessna 170B. I have about 8 hours airtime on the new installation. Initially I found the DG mode unreliable, either too much precession as a free DG, or else too much wandering if trying to use the internal magnetometer. I gave uAvionix tech support a call. Answered right away. Told me what I already suspected, should install the remote magnetometer. So I ordered it, arrived early, install in RH wingtip took me about 3 hours. Note, be sure to order 3 conductor shielded wire if you dont have any as it only has 18 pigtail on the unit. Did the ground calibration (easy) and have flown with the magnetometer about 4 hours now. Very pleased with the final installation.

These are a great reason to get rid of the antiquated vacuum gauges.

Updating my previous review for installation of dual AVI-30-Cs in my Cessna 170B. I had the units bench wired and programmed/setup previous. Completed the installation in one day including dual OAT probes and removal of the entire venturi air system. Weight savings is over 10 lbs. All went very smoothly. First flight will be early September as I will be away for couple weeks.

Installing dual AVI-30s (certified) in my Cessna 170B due to air DG failure. This will permit me to also remove the attitude indication and the whole venturi air system. I chose the AVI-30s over other similar products as I wanted to keep the legacy look of round instruments in the panel. Plus I dont have an autopilot or panel mount GPS so some of the more advanced integration features of a Garmin unit for example are not helpful to me. The AVI-30s also provide me an easy upgrade path to ADS-B Out via Tailbeacon one day. The units are wired up and programmed on bench and Ive had a chance to become familiar with their operation. Have not installed in aircraft yet. Will be a very simply installation project soon. Very pleased so far.

Great unit, so many functions. I used mine as an attitude indicator. would recommend using MS sub D pins instead of the molex style pins that came with unit. Works great.

Thought I had a problem with one of my AV-30-C batteries, but after following Rebekahs (Uvionix Tech Dept) instructions, problem solved. Thanks Rebekah.

Q&A

Please note, Aircraft Spruce Canada'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 Canada 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: Can this Uavionix AV30 be used as a backup AI in a certified aircraft?

This largely depends on on the STC of what is being backed up. Contact uAvionix for details.

Q: Is the Uavionix AV-30 unit authorized for certified aircraft?

Yes, the Uavionix AV-30, part # 11-17556, is an FAA Approved unit. It can be installed in certified aircraft.

Q: Will the certified AV-30 be able to drive my STEC-30 with the installed gps?

Per the manufacturer, there is no function to drive autopilots at this moment. However, they are working on something that will adapt to legacy STEC autopilots.

Q: Can this use the GPS from my uavionics skybeacon?

Per the installation manual Revision A on page 7, it states that the optional GPS interface is Moving Map / Aviation Protocol output provided by most panel mounted GPS units. This cannot use the Skybeacon GPS signal.

Q: Can the Uavionix AV-30 be interfaced with legacy king kx155 nav/comm?

Per the installation manual Rev. A, it will not connect to a NAV/COM.

Q: Will there be an analog converter for the Uavionix AV-30 so I can use this as the attitude reference for my century IV auto pilot?

Yes. The manufacturer is creating a solution to allow this unit to connect to an autopilot. However, at this time, we are not aware of what autopilots will be available to function with the unit.

Q: My classic Cessna reads in mph, can I change IAS from kts to mph on the Uavionix AV30?

Yes, indicated AirSpeed could either be KTS or MPH on this unit.

Q: you say it has been certified, but uavionix site says not yet...

In the overview we show that certification is pending. This SKU will be the certified unit, so we are selling it as certified. We will not receive or ship any units until they are FAA Approved and we receive the certified units from Uavionix.

Q: Regarding the UAVIONIX AV-30 PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY - CERTIFIED: Will we need 2 units (1 for AI and 1 for DG) in a certified aircraft if we would like to remove our vacuum pump? Can it serve as primary for both all within one unit?

Per the manufacturer, upon approval you will need 2 units for AI and DG. If the installation leaves no instruments that require the vacuum source, it can be removed. However, the removal of the vacuum source is not included in the AV-30 STC.

Q: Does the HSI on the Uavionix AV-30 provide vertical (glideslope) guidance?

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