AIR COM (AC-1) is our next-generation radio module built for small aircraft. It offers impressive sound and advanced functions in a small, lightweight form factor. In fact, AIR COM is the world’s lightest and most compact, fully TSO-certified radio.
It sports modern functions like the incredible “Say Again” replay function and separate volumes for the DUAL/MON and the primary channel.
With its ultra-low weight and size, robust design, and unique functions, AC-1 is ideal for light sport aircraft. Its clear sound makes it a perfect backup COMM in larger aircraft. As it draws very little power and runs for hours on small batteries, it is also suitable for aircraft without an electrical system.
AIR COM can be installed directly on an AIR Control Display (ACD-57) or remotely with a cable and mount. Through the ACD‑57 display, pilots can select active/standby frequencies using large, high‑legibility letters and pushbuttons. The integration with modern EFIS provides even more installation flexibility.
Manufactured in Germany in AIR Avionics' PART-21 approved production facility and backed by a two‑year warranty, AIR Avionics' award-winning customer support, a quick exchange programme, and PART‑145 certified repairs, AT-2 integrates into a proven ecosystem that is trusted by pilots worldwide.
AIR Avionics combines German engineering and certified manufacturing to produce the AC‑1— the world’s smallest fully TSO-certified aircraft radio with unique functions that pilots love. AC-1 is designed by AIR Avionics' certified development team, where every knob, every line of code, and every pixel is designed by pilots.
