Uavionix AV-30-C Primary Replacement Update

I've yet to see an AV-30-C with a blue line on the airspeed tape. I put the issue squarely in the lap of their software developers.

Agreed. I did not get a positive response about adding the blue line. If I keep the instrument in the aircraft, I would want the blue line visible on it.

Wslade2, the STC Uavionix provided is NOT for a primary installation as an AI, only as a backup. So its useless for what I want, which is an approved PRIMARY AI replacement, just like the singles have with the AV-30-C, and just like the Garmin G5 offers to single and twin owners.

The Skymaster has been on the G5's AML since the beginning.

Uavionix's inability to get this done, after at least two years of begging for it, may force me to give Garmin my $, which I really did not want to do.

I concur. In addition to garmin, I have been noodling some on Aspen.

I've read about the precession problem.

Here's an excerpt about it:

Can't go wrong with the G5's - they have my vote. I have dual G5s (with magnetometer, GAD29B and GAD13) with a GTN750 and have had no issues. While maybe not as "fancy" as the AV-30-C, they are extremely reliable, easy to read and interface well with the GTN and my old autopilot.

Currently installing that same setup on my P337H. Looking forward to it being done!
