uAvionix Releases AV-APA: Revolutionizing Autopilot Connectivity for AV-30 Multifunction Display
Bigfork, MT, 31 October 2023 – uAvionix, the industry leader in low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) avionics solutions, is thrilled to announce the pre-order availability of another cutting-edge innovation, the AV-APA (Analog Port Adapter). Combined with the highly successful AV-30 multifunction display, the AV-APA eliminates the need for a vacuum-driven directional gyro while adding advanced GPS modes to legacy autopilots. By adding this much requested functionality, aircraft with autopilots can now efficiently reduce pilot workload and weight while increasing safety and reliability.
Ryan Braun, Managing Director for Crewed Aviation at uAvionix, expressed his excitement about the AV-APA’s release, stating, “At uAvionix, we are not just technology providers; we are pilots too. We understand how important the workload reduction and safety enhancements provided by autopilots are, but also the significant cost to retrofit new autopilots. This product, when combined with the AV-30, bridges the gap between legacy systems and modern avionics, which is exactly the type of value that uAvionix thrives on delivering.”
The AV-APA’s key features include:
1. Seamless Integration: The AV-APA easily installs in an aircraft and connects with the AV-30 multifunction display via standard connectors, ensuring a hassle-free installation process.
2. Heading Hold: This innovative accessory allows pilots to maintain precise heading control, enhancing overall flight stability.
3. GPS Track Following: With the AV-APA, aircraft can now accurately follow GPS tracks via the AV-30, improving navigation accuracy and reducing pilot workload. For many legacy autopilots, this will represent a significant improvement in capability.
4. Compact Design: Measuring just 2.2 x 2.6 x 0.8 inches and designed to remote mount, the AV-APA fits seamlessly into any cockpit without adding unnecessary bulk.
5. Available to Pre-Order Now: Pilots and aviation enthusiasts can pre-order the AV-APA for experimental aircraft <insert link> today, securing their place in line for the Fall shipping.
The AV-APA is now available for pre-order for experimental aircraft, with shipments set to begin at the end of 2023. Supported legacy autopilots include the S-TEC System 20, 30, 40, and 50, making this adapter an essential addition for pilots seeking to modernize their aircraft’s avionics suite. Sales for certified aircraft will follow the completion of FAA certification efforts.
uAvionix continues to lead the aviation industry in providing cutting-edge, SWaP-efficient avionics solutions. The AV-APA joins the ranks of their successful product lineup, which includes groundbreaking ADS-B, Display, and Portable technology aimed at enhancing safety and efficiency for pilots worldwide.
