uAvionix Analog Port Adapter AV-APA PMA for AV-30 Display Overview:

The AV-APA PMA (analog port adapter) accessory enables aircraft owners with legacy autopilots to replace their old, heavy, vacuum-driven directional gyro with a more capable, lighter, digital AV-30 Flight Display and potentially remove their vacuum system entirely.

The AV-APA PMA emulates the analog heading signal used by legacy autopilots to provide heading hold as well as the ability to follow GPS tracks from a portable or IFR GPS.

• SEAMLESS INTEGRATION: The AV-APA easily installs in an aircraft and connects with the AV-30 display via standard connectors, ensuring a hassle-free installation process.
• HEADING HOLD: This innovative accessory allows pilots to maintain precise heading control, enhancing overall fl ight stability.
•  GPS TRACK FOLLOWING: With the AV-APA, aircraft can now accurately follow GPS tracks via the AV-30, improving navigation accuracy and reducing pilot workload. For many legacy autopilots, this will represent a significant improvement in capability.
• COMPACT DESIGN: Measuring just 2.2 x 2.6 x 0.8 inches and designed to remote mount, the AV-APA fi ts seamlessly into any cockpit without adding unnecessary bulk.
