6.3 Pitot and Static Interfaces (Required)
Pitot and static connections are required for AI and DG modes.
Airspeed, altitude, derived angle of attack, True Airspeed (TAS) and Digital
Altitude (DALT) all require pitot and static connections as they are based
on either altitude or airspeed measured from those connections.
Airspeed, altitude, derived angle of attack (AoA), True Airspeed (TAS),
Density Altitude (DALT), DG heading, and traffic altitude all require pitot
and static connections as they are based on either altitude or airspeed
measured from those connections.
6.4 GPS Interface (Optional)
The Global Positioning System (GPS) interface is an optional RS-232
serial input that is compatible with the industry standard aviation output
provided by most panel mounted GPS units, and NMEA serial interfaces
provided by most hand-held GPS units.
This is a text/binary protocol output by the GPS navigator that contains
situational awareness information such as ground speed, track, distance to
destination, cross track, etc., and is typically utilized by remote
mapping/display products to provide additional pilot awareness.
This output does not provide IFR compliant lateral or vertical guidance,
therefore all GPS track and deviation related data presented is for VFR
operations only.
The AV-30-C does no computations or operations on the data obtained
from the GPS navigator, and simply displays the received data in a textual
or graphical format as configured by the pilot.
6.5 OAT Probe (Optional)
The optional Outside Air Temperature (OAT) probe interface is compatible
with the industry stand
ard “Davtron” (C307PS) probe which is mounted
external to the aircraft. OAT data is available as a textual data overlay and
is used to compute temperature dependent data such as True Airspeed
