After we ran the uAvionix AV-30 installation planning guide in the May 2022 issue of Aviation Consumer, we got some requests for an inflight shakedown report of the instrument’s autopilot and heading interface.

And while the new autopilot interface is only open to experimentals (for now), contributor Marc Cook has been flying behind an AV-30 E in his GlaStar and offered this short flight trial report.
