Available for experimental and light sport applications previously, the all-in-one uAvionix AV-30 has been FAA approved as a primary instrument via a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC). According to uAvionix’s documentation, “The AV-30-C is approved for primary Attitude, Slip and Direction of Flight.” With a built-in attitude reference system as well as pitot-static sensors, the AV-30-C can replace a vacuum-driven attitude gyro while also providing supplemental airspeed and altitude data. It can also be installed as a replacement for a directional gyro, while still providing a backup attitude instrument to the remaining AI. The DG does not use a remote magnetometer but does have an electronically stabilized display that the pilot sets with reference to the aircraft’s compass.
