uAvionix, a leading provider of avionics solutions, has announced the release of AV-30-E software version 2.4.1, designed to offer experimental aircraft owners enhanced safety, efficiency, and in-flight interoperability. This update introduces several anticipated features, including support for the AV-APA (Analog Port Adapter), a new accessory connecting the AV-30 display to legacy autopilots.
One of the standout features of the 2.4.1 upgrade is the AV-APA accessory, a significant advancement from uAvionix. This accessory facilitates the connection between the AV-30 and legacy installed autopilots. By combining the AV-30 with the AV-APA, aircraft owners can replace outdated, heavy, vacuum-driven directional gyros with the multifunction AV-30 digital display. This transition allows for the adoption of advanced GPS navigation modes, contributing to a reduction in pilot workload and aircraft weight while enhancing safety and reliability.
