AV30s

Post by CKC »

Hi,

I'm a relatively new owner of a used DA40. Late last year I had my AI and DG replaced with AV30s while having an annual plus other work done at SouthTec Aviation. I really like the instruments except for when I enter controlled airspace and want to switch from a slaved GPS mode to a normal non-slaved DG mode. When in the non-slaved DG mode the drift errors are extreme to the point of almost making the instrument un-useable. I have read on other boards that uAvonix may have addressed the problem with a firmware update that has only been authorized for experimental aircraft to date. Does anyone here have experience with the AV30s or know anything about the subject?

Thanks!
Keith
