Extra USA to offer the AV-30-C and AV-30-E as a factory-backed replacement for legacy instruments like the AVMap EFIS.

BIGFORK, MT — July 7, 2026 — uAvionix, a leader in innovative avionics solutions for general aviation, today announced a strategic partnership with Extra USA and its authorized Service Center. Under this new agreement, Extra USA will offer and install the uAvionix AV-30-C (Certified) or AV-30-E (Experimental) 3” Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) as an official, modern replacement for factory-installed legacy avionics and multi-function EFIS units.

This partnership provides owners of the world-renowned Extra aerobatic and high-performance aircraft a seamless, factory-approved path to modernize their cockpits with cutting-edge display technology, enhanced situational awareness, and robust reliability.

A Modern Upgrade for High-Performance Cockpits

The AV-30 easily fits into a standard 3” round cutout, preserving the classic panel aesthetics of Extra aircraft while delivering a quantum leap in modern capability. It can be configured as either a primary Attitude Indicator (AI) or a Directional Gyro (DG), packed with features tailored to demanding flight environments.

Key benefits of the AV-30 upgrade include:

  • Pilot Customizable Displays: Customizable audio alerts, primary flight data, and user-configured display screens.
  • Aerobatic Capability: Designed to handle high-G environments, ensuring reliable attitude and directional data during precision maneuvers.
  • Internal Battery Backup: Offers up to 2 hours of emergency operation in the event of an aircraft power failure.
  • Non-Aging Display: Vibrant, high-contrast display that remains crisp and sunlight-readable, eliminating the fading and reliability issues common in legacy CRT and early LCD screens.
  • ForeFlight Integration: Allows pilots to plan a route in ForeFlight®, while away from the plane, then seamlessly synchronize the AV-30 once in the cockpit, and even have a supported autopilot follow the flight plan—creating a seamless ForeFlight-to-panel experience.

Factory-Backed Peace of Mind

By partnering directly with Extra USA and its premier Service Center, aircraft owners can rest assured that the installation of the AV-30-C or AV-30-E meets the rigorous factory standards required for high-stress aerobatic airframes.

“Extra Aircraft are precision aircraft designed for peak performance, and their avionics should reflect that,” said Shane Woodson, VP of General Aviation at uAvionix. “Partnering with Extra USA ensures that owners transitioning away from their legacy units receive a proven, factory-backed installation that enhances safety, reliability, and the overall flying experience.”

Availability and Booking

The AV-30-C and AV-30-E upgrade is available immediately through Extra USA’s primary service center. Extra owners looking to schedule their retrofit or learn more about the factory-backed upgrade options are encouraged to contact Extra USA directly.
