VIAVI AVX-10K-FLTS – Flight Line Test Set Only

The VIAVI AVX-10K-FLTS is a comprehensive, software-defined avionics test system used to verify, troubleshoot, and maintain aircraft communication, navigation, and surveillance (CNS) systems. It consolidates multiple test capabilities into one lightweight, field-ready unit, making it ideal for ramp or hangar operations. The tester supports performance verification of systems such as transponders, ADS-B, TCAS, ILS, DME, and VOR – all from a single interface.

The AVX-10K-FLTS variant is the base flight line configuration, designed to deliver core CNS testing capabilities without optional add-ons. It includes essential test functions like transponder, ADS-B, DME, navigation, and communication testing, which can later be expanded via software modules. This modular approach allows aviation operators to purchase only the test capabilities they need while maintaining full compatibility with future upgrades.

Yes. The AVX-10K-FLTS supports remote operation via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth using the VIAVI Mobile Tech app, which is compatible with both Android™ and iOS® devices. This allows technicians to conduct testing from anywhere around the aircraft – whether in the cockpit, near the tail, or on the ramp – without being tethered to the unit. Remote control greatly improves workflow efficiency and operator safety during line maintenance.

The AVX-10K-FLTS meets international regulatory and testing standards for avionics verification, including those governing ADS-B, TCAS, and ILS/LOC/GS/MB systems. Its built-in GPS receiver ensures precise positional data for ADS-B validation, and software-defined configurations allow adaptation to different regional testing protocols. The unit’s CE compliance and adherence to global frequency requirements make it a trusted tool for MROs and operators worldwide.

The AVX-10K’s software-defined architecture enables users to easily add new test capabilities via firmware updates rather than purchasing new hardware. This ensures the unit remains up to date with evolving avionics technology, including future ADS-B mandates or next-generation transponder standards. It also allows operators to customize functionality to their fleet’s specific communication and navigation systems, reducing the total cost of ownership.

The system includes both AC and DC power adapters, allowing flexible operation in hangar, ramp, or mobile environments. It supports power cords for U.S./Canada and Continental Europe, selectable at the order point, making it ideal for international deployment. This dual-input capability ensures the unit remains operational regardless of local electrical standards.

The unit’s intuitive touchscreen interface and preconfigured “Guided Test” workflows simplify the process of running and documenting avionics checks. Technicians can store and recall test sequences for repeatable performance validation, saving time during recurring maintenance cycles. Results can be exported instantly through USB, Ethernet, or wireless connections, supporting seamless record-keeping and regulatory compliance reporting.

The AVX-10K-FLTS covers a wide range of Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) systems, including transponders (Modes A, C, S), ADS-B In/Out, DME, VOR, TACAN, ILS (LOC, GS, MB), and COM radios. It also supports ELT beacon frequencies at 121.5, 243, and 406 MHz. This makes it a versatile solution for testing both civil and military aircraft systems during line or bench maintenance.

The compact, lightweight design and rugged transit case make the AVX-10K-FLTS easy to transport and operate in challenging ramp environments. Its durable housing protects internal components from vibration and temperature variations commonly encountered in field conditions. With its portable form factor, technicians can carry the unit between aircraft or maintenance bays without requiring heavy support equipment.

The unit includes built-in support for 978/1090 MHz ADS-B In/Out and GICB testing, ensuring alignment with FAA, EASA, and ICAO performance standards. The integrated GPS receiver provides accurate position data for ADS-B validation, ensuring the integrity of aircraft broadcasts. This makes it an essential tool for ensuring aircraft remain compliant with evolving global surveillance mandates.

The AVX-10K comes with a standard one-year manufacturer's warranty that provides coverage and support from the start. For operators looking for added peace of mind, VIAVI also offers extended warranty plans that can be purchased separately. These extended options typically range from three to five years and include additional benefits and coverage to help ensure long-term reliability and protection for your investment.
