Instrument works exactly as advertised. Learning curve isnt all that steep and product support from uAvionix has been excellent. This is my second AV-30. First replaced my AI. Second is to replace my DG and eliminate the entire suction system.

Have a few of these, experimental and certified. Best bang for the buck, and looks better than the square ones

Dont have it in the airplane yet but it works perfectly on the bench. Customer support has been outstanding when I had questions about wiring and installation, responding by email the same day. User interface is simple, thorough, and intuitive. Seems to be a solid, well-designed unit and Im looking forward to getting it in the air.

Original AV-30E was purchased to replace a faulty DG and was problematic. Since the 2.4.1 update, everything seems to be far better. Purchased a second to replace my attitude indicator and am removing my vacuum system now! so far so good! The traffic feature is quite nice!

Amazing product, still learning the functionality

Great service. The installation is very easy. Beautifully arranged information loaded display. Will see how it flies.

At first I thought I made a mistake buying two of these, but after flying with them for 6 months, I have to say I honestly love them and Im glad I stuck with them. The customer support has been amazing and attentive. My biggest headache was excessive heading drift, for which uAvionix has just announced a software fix. It will prevent the unit from capturing a bad calibration on start-up / shut-down and prevent the problem. Im excited for it to arrive. The units can be trimmed by the user to calibrate any of the numbers that may be off from your steam gauges, such as airspeed and altitude. After trimming, my numbers stay dead-on. I paired mine with the Davtron temp probe and I really enjoy being able to see TAS and OAT readouts directly on the unit. These are great little units to get you by in style and on a budget.

Beware of updated model # that has upgraded internal circuit protection. Old part #s are still being stocked and should be changed out.

Bench tested only so far, but appears to be everything hoped for. Moderately easy to set up.

The av-30 provides a lot of information in one instrument. AS, Artificial Horizon, Altimeter, vertical trend, voltage, directional gyro, and more. You are able to configure the V speeds. Con’s limited navigation tracking. There is a av-30 simulator on the uavionix website. I was able to get familiar with the unit before it was installed. All-in-all, the instrument meets my expectations.

Really impressive fonctionnalties .Excellent lightning and reading. Have to confirm when airborne.Not yet installed in my panel because still unable to find install menu to set Vspeeds,speed units and barrio units. Not clearly shown in the on line manual. Matter of time.

VERY SIMPLE to install, performance outstanding, great addition to my panel to replace legacy vac gyros, and looks great

It is a very good instrament and I would give it 5 stars if the AOA would be more accurate. However it is an inferred AOA (Probeless) and i may not have it set up right... It is a very nice guage for the money and the artificial horizon does work very well!

I had an opportunity to fly this installed in an experimental aircraft. Was not impressed. If you have never flown glass cockpit you might not know the difference, but the resolution is not up to the current standards that other manufactures have set.

Supposed to show vertical speed. I can’t find it. Supposed to be able to adjust for angled panel, it almost does.

Would not hold a heading, tried another unit, called the company and they acknowledged there was a problem with most of them and to correct it you had to install a magnetometer (installed about $1400) Original cost installed was $2000. New cost for unit installed is between $3700 and $3900. Not quite the bargain they convey!

I purchased 2 AV30’s for AI & DG positions. BIG MISTAKE spent a lot of time & money and all I really have is two AI’s. The DG function just doesn’t work. I’ve supposedly got the latest software firmware hardware with the built in magnetometer. Uavionix are very nice to talk to but don’t have any solutions. Only work if you use GPS heading, the DG heading is often off 80deg in one hour. Should have gone for the G5’s. Not sure how long I can put up with these. Might work if Uavionix ever come up with a remote magnetometer, don’t hold your breath.
