Unlock Cockpit Connectivity
AV-Link PMA is the ultimate companion to the AV-30 panel display for WiFi connectivity. The compact, FAA-approved module seamlessly integrates with the AV-30 to deliver live ADS-B traffic from GDL90 compliant ADS-B receivers and enable wireless firmware upgrades for the AV-30 that enhance the overall functionality of your avionics suite.
Primary Features
Live ADS-B Traffic Display
Connect via WiFi to a supported ADS-B receiver to display live ADS-B traffic directly on your AV-30. Compatible with devices like ForeFlight Sentry, Sentry Mini, Sentry Plus, SkyEcho, echoUAT, skySensor, and other GDL90 protocol receivers, the AV-Link PMA acts as an integrated WiFi bridge that allows for communication between the receiver and the AV-30. The AV-30 will display a separate navigational page with ADS-B traffic when AV-Link is connected and enabled.
Be Flight Aware
With the AV-Link PMA and ADS-B traffic display enabled on the AV-30, the screen will display active airborne and ground-based ADS-B traffic with zoom and select functions that allow you to view traffic from 1 nautical mile to 40 nautical miles in range and see information that includes call-sign, type of aircraft, and relative altitude. A traffic filter function can be enabled relative to ownship altitude to reduce information displayed on the screen, allowing you to focus on targets that matter most.
Streamlined Installation
Designed for easy integration, featuring a plug-and-play setup with the AV-30 that minimizes installation time. It even works with the AV-HSI allowing one AV-Link PMA to support firmware updates to multiple AV-30 displays. An embedded web page provides access for software updates, AV-Link PMA configuration settings and device status.
Additional Features
Effortless Functionality
Wireless Firmware and Software Updates
Allows for easy wireless updates of the AV-Link PMA, AV-30, and other AV-30 accessories (e.g. AV-HSI PMA) firmware and software, enabling enhancements and new features without the need for direct phyical connection behind the panel.
Industry Standard Interface
AV-Link PMA is efficiently designed to use the popular binary GDL 90 protocol commonly used in general aviation for communication between ADS-B devices and your Electronic Flight Bag (EFB).
Robust Wireless Capabilities
Offers reliable WiFi connectivity, ensuring stable links for ADS-B traffic data, firmware updates, and more.
GPS Support
Works seamlessly with portable ADS-B receivers that include GPS to provide accurate GPS track data for ADS-B traffic on the AV-30 traffic display screen.
Future-ready Connectivity
Engineered for expandability with future features in development aimed at further enhancing the integration between your panel and avionics systems.
FAA Approved
AV-Link PMA is fully FAA approved for both Certified and Experimental Aircraft Installations, ensuring compliance with aviation regulations.
