2011年4月21日 · The AV-30 can read the changes in static pretty darn quickly - and they have control over any filtering without relying on the "calibrated leak" technology used by the VSI. The accelerometers read quickly and the gyros are most likely rate gyros to begin with so they will pick up the changes very quickly.

2012年1月26日 · The jury is still out on the AV-30 configured for DG. I am seeing what I consider excessive drift on the DG. There is a new firmware/software update for the AV-30’s that is supposed to improve the DG function. I have obtained the USB to RS232 adapter and DSUB connectors that I need to make a patch cable for updating my AV-30’s.

2021年12月1日 · Friends - I'm considering the installation of two AV-30-Cs in my C182. Currently I have an S-Tec 60 autopilot, driven by an S-Tec DG (when in heading mode). The AV-30-C installation manual states: If I'm reading this correctly, this says that I cannot replace my S-Tec DG with an AV-30-C, because it drives my S-Tec 60 autopilot in "heading" mode.

2023年3月17日 · The AV-30C will require a software update to use the magnetometer. Software update can be done via a windows laptop connected to the AV-30C via a USB-to-Dsub-9 cable and a fabricated Dsub-15-to-Dsub-9 cable.

2024年11月27日 · Back in 2015 the FAA released PS-ACE-23-08, providing the regulatory framework to replace an existing vacuum-driven gyroscope with an electric/electronic unit (such as an AV-30) as a minor alteration. Only the gyro function was allowed to be replaced, so you couldn't take advantage of the airspeed/altidude indications and remove those gauges.

2013年6月29日 · "We actually just received AV-30-C certification as of this morning, the PA28-140 will be on the AML no doubt. About the LPV ops.....the AV-30-C at the moment is set up for horizontal guidance via a GPS connection, we do not currently support vertical guidance, but it is slated to be introduced sometime before 2022."

2021年4月10日 · I installed 2 AV-30C, even though anxious about the precession stories…I am not IFR, but I want to be set up to train. Yes, there is no promise AV-30C can be used as a nav indicator yet… The subD connectors are a real exercise in patience. The pitot static connections to the AI are described required in the manual, so I did em.

2013年10月5日 · Just installed my AV-30 magnetometer a few days ago. Retrofit is not hard, but installing with the original device is even easier. I would definitely install a magnetometer with any new AV-30. You can parallel a single AV-MAG to feed 2 displays. For IFR I would probably lean towards a pair of G5 or GI-275 depending on budget.

2023年4月25日 · I concur with the AV-30/AV-MAG experience some have. The one set as DG was terrible before the AV-MAG came out (with version 2.3.9). Precession went away but the AV-30s would keep indicating NOMAG often and was pretty frustrating. With firmware 2.4.1, the NOMAG indication has completely resolved and the DG works great.

2018年4月11日 · The AV-30 without a magnetometer drifts about the same as the mechanical. The big drawback to the AV-30 in DG mode is when the temperature changes significantly from what it was when the DG aligned itself during startup (example: take off in 50* F air then climb to sub-freezing temps), it drifts so bad it becomes useless.
