AIR COM AC-1 is a next-generation radio with 8.33kHz channel spacing, offering many new functions like an audio equalizer, GPS-based frequency selection, or controlling an Air avionics mode-S transponder.
The radio is very compact and easy to install and is the smallest and lightest fully certified radio on the market today.
The simple operation and meaningful functionality helps to reduce cockpit workloads.
The radio is one of the most used instruments during flight. Still, today most radios feature small displays and often a cumbersome operation. AIR COM has the largest display in its class and simple, robust controls that are perfectly usable even in turbulence or with gloves. The colour display performs extremely well in sunlight and shows all information large and clear. Letters and numbers are significantly larger than in current radios.
AIR COM uses modern audio technology. The equalizer allows for the first time to improve clarity by adjusting the sound output. The digital design also makes a broad variety of functions possible, like intercom, audio mixing, or individual adjustments to sound input and output.
AIR COM features a comprehensive frequency database. With this database, frequencies can be selected easily by selecting the desired airport or airspace. The database can be updated with the integrated microSD memory card. The integrated memory also allows for storing user-frequencies.
With the integrated GPS interface, a list of the nearest airports or airspaces can be displayed and corresponding frequencies can be easily selected.
For the first time, it is possible to combine radio and the control of an external Mode-S transponder in a single compact 57mm instrument. To facilitate this, a Mode-S transponder (the AIR Avionics VT-01 main unit) can be connected to the AIR Control Display. Panel space is precious, displays get larger, and an ever-growing number of instruments need to fit into shrinking panels. Directly connecting the Mode-S transponder to the AIR Control Display means that both instruments together, radio and transponder, only need a single small 57mm cutout. This is a big step towards more panel space and saves costs.
