On March 14, 2023, a global network test, monitoring and assurance solutions provider, VIAVI Solutions, announced approval for the AVX-10K Flight Line Test Set for use on all Boeing commercial aircraft previously approved for the IFR4000 and IFR6000.
During installation, maintenance, and biannual inspections, the AVX-10K is utilized for performance verification and troubleshooting of airborne systems. The device combines the navigation, communication, and surveillance test capabilities of the VIAVI IFR4000 and IFR6000 into a single unit. With test capabilities ranging from a rapid system auto-test to in-depth troubleshooting, the versatile AVX-10K will be used for cockpit and exterior aircraft maintenance.
