Venturay - Affordable Technology for Pilots

Affordable Technology for Pilots

Our mission is to improve safety in general aviation by providing reliable, affordable avionics.

As homebuilders ourselves, we recognize the obstacles facing every experimental aircraft owner and the financial realities that most of us face in choosing what instruments and safety features to install in our aircrafts. By using modern design and production efficiencies, we intend to offer flight instruments and accessories at less than half the price of comparable instruments on the market. Our products are not TSO'd or STC'd because our main clientele is the experimental/homebuilt market. Certificated aircraft owners should talk with their A&P if they wish to install any of our products.

While most pilots in General Aviation recognize the great advances we have witnessed in aviation in the last two decades, many of us continue to struggle on with old technology. While such a preference is certainly understandable, there are times when we should adopt wholeheartedly some of the new technologies. GPS is an excellent case in point. For less than an antique, refurbished COM radio, several companies offer us moving-map GPS with a wealth of features never imagined by GA only a few years ago.

As an example, our first product was our Angle of Attack indicators. Most pilots are at least peripherally aware of this instruments but its greatest fans are in the military where the critical approach to landing on a carrier can mean the difference between life and death. But so too in general aviation by warning the pilot of an impending stall. How many of us are mindful that a plane that stalls at 50 IAS when level will stall at 70 IAS at a 60-degree turn? And that stall speed varies according to weight so you can land much slower (and safer) when lightly loaded?

In emergency situations like engine failure, the proper glide angle can mean the difference between making the airport or being forced to dead-stick it in a field. Because there is no time to perform elaborate calculations to determine best glide speed in such circumstances, the only realistic solution is an angle of attack indicator. One of the major obstacles to a more widespread use of angle of attack indicators is price – who wants to spend yet another $1,000 when they have done without it this long? This is why we tasked our engineers to design a reliable and accurate instrument for less than half the price of existing offerings. In fact, for a limited time, we are offering the Venturay AOA indicator for only $320. Given the significant benefits and improved safety in using AOA indicators, we hope that by offering this technology at such an affordable price that we may contribute to lowering GA accidents due to stalls, long landings, and in-flight emergencies. Finally, as a member of the flying community, five percent of all our profits go to aviation safety programs. So every dollar you spend on improving your safety also contributes to the safety of other pilots around the country.

And don't forget, our products are backed by our money-back guarantee: if our product does not live up to all its promises, just return it to us within 30 days with your receipt and we will issue a refund. Because we are pilots and we understand the realities of General Aviation.
