Hi All,
I happened to walk into Hangar 62 aka Banyon Avionics aka Tropic Aero
at Ft Lauderdale Exec today. Not a bad pilot shop.
The avionics product manager told me that yesterday Bendix-King
Honeywell cut off support for the AV8or line including spouting some
gibberish about remotely disabling the GPS access. He said BK would
be refunding all prior purchases. The shop is a big Garmin dealer of
course!
This of course is nearly unbelievable, so I just went to the BK site.
It says nothing of course, except that BK just signed an exclusive
deal with Duncan Avionics to support the AV8or 3D Horizon units.
Can anyone shed some light?

It looks like, with further checking, that BK is not abandoning the
AV8or series at all. It appears instead that the sales crew on the
floor at Tropic Aero is seriously misinformed and they should get their
floor demo unit of the AV8or Ace fixed instead of leaving it broken.

Duncan Aviation and Bendix/King by Honeywell Sign Exclusive Agreement for Sales & Service Of AV80R Horizon 3D Portable Cockpit Information System
February 18, 2010
LINCOLN, NEB. —Duncan Aviation and Bendix/King by Honeywell have signed an agreement that gives Duncan Aviation exclusive rights to sell and service Honeywell’s Portable Cockpit Information system, the AV8OR Horizon 3D.
A portable Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) with 3D Synthetic Vision and IFR approach plates, the AV8OR Horizon 3D provides the ultimate in situational awareness. During flight, it generates and displays dynamic, realistic 3D imagery, showing a cockpit-like view regardless of external conditions. With optional NEXRAD satellite weather and 3D traffic detection, the system has been developed by pilots, for pilots, as a cost-effective solution to improve flight safety.
“We are excited about the opportunity to introduce this leading edge cockpit technology to operators of general aviation aircraft,” says Chris Gress, Sales Manager of Duncan Aviation’s Components Solutions team. “This reasonably priced AV8OR Horizon with synthetic vision gives the smaller aircraft operator very similar information and the improved safety features found in the cockpit displays of aircraft coming off the OEM lines today.”
On the ground, the AV8OR system can be used as a Tablet PC, running Microsoft Windows-based aviation software that allows the user to plan a route, download weather forecasts, save flight plans, and more.
For more information about the AV8OR Horizon 3D, call Matt Nelson, Manager of Duncan Aviation’s Avionics Satellite Network at 402.479.4202. You can also visit the following website links:
https://www.bendixking.com/AV8OR3D/AV8ORHORIZON3D/default.html
https://www.bendixking.com/AV8OR3D/dealer.html
Bendix/King by Honeywell is a global provider of avionics, communications and flight controls for the general aviation market.
Duncan Aviation is an aircraft service provider supporting the aviation needs of government and business operators and other service providers. Services include major and minor airframe inspections and maintenance, engine services, major retrofits for cabin and cockpit systems in addition to full paint and interior services and aircraft sales and acquisitions. Duncan Aviation also has aircraft components solutions experts available 24/7/365 at 800.228.1836 or 402.475.4125 (international) who can handle any aircraft system problem with immediate exchanges, rotables, loaners or avionics/instrument/accessory/propeller repairs and overhauls.
Complete service facilities are located in Lincoln, Neb., and Battle Creek, Mich. Additional locations include more than 20 satellite avionics facilities strategically located throughout the United States. For more information about any of Duncan Aviation’s services, contact us at 402.475.2611 or 800.228.4277. Or visit us on the web at http://www.DuncanAviation.aero.
This only mentions the Aviator Horizon 3d which appears to be a takeoff of the Flight Cheetah mounted on a SamSung Q1 ultra Ultramobile PC.
It says nothing about the aviator handheld GPSs

5k$ for that combo and only 300nits, don't know but that is a pretty
impressive price for what you get I would say.
