AV-Link PMA FAQs – uAvionix

Do I need multiple AV-Links?

AV-Link Overview: The AV-Link provides Wi-Fi connectivity for software updates, traffic display, and upcoming ForeFlight integration. Single AV-30 Installations: When installed, the AV-Link communicates only with the AV-30 to which it is connected. Multiple AV-30 Installations with AV-HSI: When the AV-HSI is installed and all AV-30 units are updated to software version 3.0.1 or later, one AV-Link with one AV-HSI can support up to four AV-30 units. In this configuration, the AV-Link connects to the AV-HSI, not directly to an AV-30. The AV-Link enables updates for all AV-30 units linked through the AV-HSI. Mounting Location: The AV-Link, when used with the AV-HSI, is remotely mounted behind the panel with the AV-HSI and not on the AV-30.

Does the AV-Link have Bluetooth?

No, the AV-Link does not provide Bluetooth.
