The AV-1 is a 2 1/4” instrument that can be used as a display interface for an artificial horizon reference system (AHRS) or as an advanced digital compass, or both depending on which MGL Avionics sensor packages is connected to the AV-1.
The AV-1 can be setup to display the following:
-
Compass with five different displays (requires MGL Avionics SP-2 sensor package)
-
Horizon with or without slip indicator (requires MGL Avionics SP-3/4/5 sensor package)
-
Turn and bank indicator (requires MGL Avionics SP-3/4/5 sensor package)
-
Combined compass and horizon display with bank indicator and optional slip indicator (requires MGL Avionics SP2 & SP-3/4/5 sensor package)
You can also share sensor packages between various different size instruments eg. AV-2 units (these have a 3 1/8” display). For example you may want a 3 1/8” horizon display but a 2 1/4” compass/turn and bank indicator.
-
Artificial horizon reference system (AHRS) display unit with slip indication as well as turn and bank indication.
-
Advanced magnetic compass with course steering feature.
-
Can be setup as an individual compass display, artificial horizon or both.
-
The AV-1 is connected to the sensor packages by a simple 2 wire communication link. This allows for the optimum placement of the sensor packages in the aircraft.
-
More then one AV-1 can be connected onto a airtalk link. This allows for displaying the compass, artificial horizon and the turn and bank indicator on different AV-1/2 units.
