The AVI-G is the most advanced oxygen system available for gliders. Using around 50mA of power, the fully installed for on-demand pulsed oxygen delivery fully integrated with the HealthView II and Air Avionics ATD-57 will take your soaring to new heights.
SYSTEMS OVERVIEW The AVI system is a complete kit for health and hypoxia management in gliders, including the installed AVI pulse demand control unit, HealthView II with Air Avionics ATD-57, Illyrian oximeter, choice of Aluminum bottle, a silicone cannula, a nasal pillow mask, and a plumbing, port, and placard kit. In total, the system is everything you need for installation to control and monitor oxygen delivery and health. MORE PERMANENT SEMI-BUILT-IN SYSTEM AVI is designed as a more permanent semi-built-in oxygen system. We coined the term semi-built-in to describe the oxygen system because the plumbing is hidden while the bottle is accessible and removable. This is an improvement of the fully-built-in systems because the bottles are easier to fill or to remove when not needed, yet the install is clean, tidy, and professional. However, the AVI is otherwise a fully-built-in system because the control unit is ship powered and the plumbing lines are routed behind paneling and concealed. HEALTHVIEW II Available now and shipping September 2025 is the HealthView II with the Air Avionics ATD-57. The ATD-57 is a modular avionics system that is low profile with high visibility graphics and tactile control inputs. The HealthView II with the Air Avonics ATD-57 instrument fits within a standard 2.25" cutout to output all Aithre oxygen and biometric health information and provide a rich set of controls over the Avi and Turbo oxygen systems. The HealthView II with the ATD-57 features over 60 customizable color health fields across 9 custom pages with per station control of oxygen dosing and Turbo injection control. All Aithre devices and their associated data will display either via BLE or the serial communication channels, including Shield, Metis, Avi, Turbo, and Illyrian products. The ATD with the HealthView II is modular and can be optionally expanded to provide ADS-B weather and traffic. Additional license and/or equipment is required for the weather and traffic functionality. Power input to the HealthView II and ATD is 12-30V with a power draw of under 20mA at 12V. OXYGEN DELIVERY Simply activate the AVI system and breathe while monitoring the flow and delivery via the HealthView II and ATD-57. The AVI adjusts dosage automatically based on pressure altitude and provides for dosage adjustments customization and emergency overrides. The pulse system is the first ever to based on MEMS flow measurements as opposed to pressure measurements. This technology provides enhanced inhalation detection plus real-time flow rate determinations and accurate respiration rate feedback. To provide smoother oxygen delivery, the AVI delivers each pulse of oxygen as a series of micro bursts with each inhalation. The micro bursts start immediately upon inhalation and extend over the first critical portion of the inhalation cycle. The number and spacing of the microbursts are adjusted in real-time and customized for each inhalation based on respiration length and pressure altitude. In the event of power loss or electrical failure, a backup line of continuous flow is routed from the regulator direct to an emergency backup port to bypass the electronics. This ensures you always have access to oxygen. ALTUS WIRELESS PRESSURE GAUGE The AVI includes the Aithre Altus Meso tank pressure gauge, which allows for monitoring the oxygen pressure remaining while the bottle is out of sight. Readings from 0-2500 PSI are communicated to the HealthView II and ATD-57 to supplement the analog pressure gauge. ILLYRIAN OXIMETER The AVI system includes an Illyrian II oximeter. The Illyrian wearable oximeter provides continuous real-time SPO2 and heart rate information to the HealthView II and ATD-57. Advanced features include head movement and cabin altitude monitoring with haptic vibration feedback. BACKUP COMPOSITE BOTTLE The system includes a standalone 47L carbon fiber composite bottle with a fixed flow regulator that outputs approximately 0.5 LPM for 2 hrs. This handheld bottle is designed to supply a simple independent flow of oxygen for pilot use in the event of any system failure or leakage. The bottle can be stowed and secured in a flight bag or seat back pocket for additional peace of mind during flight. |
