Bigfork, MT, 2 November 2023 – uAvionix, the pioneering leader in cutting-edge avionics solutions, is proud to announce the pre-order availability of the AV-HSI (horizontal situation indicator), a game-changing accessory designed to enhance the functionality of the highly acclaimed AV-30 multifunction display (MFD). With a track record of shipping over 10,000 certified units in its brief history in the panel display market, the AV-30 takes another leap forward with the AV-HSI, bringing often-requested support for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) guidance.

The AV-HSI significantly advances the AV-30’s capabilities by seamlessly connecting with GPS/IFR Navigators and NAV/COMM equipment, rendering essential course and glideslope guidance for ILS (Instrument Landing System) and Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) approaches. This latest accessory boasts three ARINC-429 channels, enabling compatibility with a wide range of panel-mounted GPS Navigators, and four serial ports for seamless communication with common NAV/COMM radios. Additionally, the AV-HSI can act as a central hub for the AV-30 ecosystem, seamlessly synchronizing multiple AV-30s, providing information to the pilot where and when they need it. This synchronization reduces pilot workload, ensuring precision and coordination between the instruments.

Ryan Braun, Managing Director for Crewed Aviation at uAvionix, emphasized the company’s dedication to meeting the needs of pilots and aviators, stating, “As pilots, we understand the challenge of flying single-pilot in IMC. When paired with AV-HSI, AV-30 now has best-in-class capability to seamlessly display IFR guidance during critical phases of flight. Putting this information in the pilot’s immediate field of view and removing the need for legacy vacuum driven instruments, AV-30 delivers on more connectivity, more capability, and less weight.”

The AV-HSI’s compact form-factor, measuring just 2.3 by 2.3 by 0.6 inches and designed to remote mount, exemplifies uAvionix’s commitment to providing advanced technology in an easily installed package, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types and sizes.

Key features of the AV-HSI include:

1. Seamless Integration: The AV-HSI easily connects with the AV-30 multifunction display, expanding its capability to display additional guidance, including course and glideslope guidance for ILS and LPV approaches.

2. Multi-Channel Compatibility: With three ARINC-429 channels and four serial ports, the AV-HSI interfaces seamlessly with most panel-mounted GPS Navigators and easily connects with NAV/COMM radios to accurately exchange navigation data.

3. Centralized Synchronization: The AV-HSI can act as a hub for multiple AV-30 displays, enabling them to share navigation guidance and synchronize essential data to reduce pilot workload and enhance the flying experience. This includes heading bug, barometric pressure setting, and Outside Air Temperature (OAT).

4. Pre-Order Now: Pilots and aviation enthusiasts can pre-order the AV-HSI for experimental aircraft today, securing their place in line for the Fall shipping. Sales for certified aircraft will follow completion of certification.
