uAvionix AV-30: Experimental, Certified

There are multiple uses for the 12-function AV-30. In the Van's RV panel, it's a non-slaved heading indicator.

Shop the budget EFIS market and you’ll consider the uAvionix AV-30. At just shy of $2000 for the certified version ($1495 for experimentals), the drop-in flight instrument packs a healthy punch in a round-gauge chassis. But there are limitations to consider, particularly when it comes to GPS and autopilot interfaces. 

Plenty of potential buyers we talk with are confused about the AV-30 product line, so here in simple language is a dose of ninja planning to help qualify an interface.
