Argus 4 Year Check

In order for an Argus to be considered airworthy, it must have a 4 Year Check within the previous 4 years + 3 months. Unlike other brands, the date of manufacture is not considered in calculating the time for the check.

The unit will be visually inspected, and run through a number of “must fire” and “must not fire” tests. It will be given a fresh set of batteries, and marked with a sticker indicating a year and a check number.

Repairs are not considered part of the check

Argus Cutter
Replacement cutters where originally provided at no cost, after use. This allowed Aviacom to collect data about saves. Those days are over, and they now charge for a replacement cutter. There is a limited remaining supply, since the Argus AAD has been out of production since 2011.
$225.00
Argus Display
Argus Display, with cable & connector. This is often called the “Display Unit”.
$335.00
Argus PCB
Argus Printed Circuit Board. This is the brains inside the “control unit”. If the unit is getting sensor errors, this requires replacement. If the battery is draining, this is the most likely part requiring replacement. This includes installation in your existing control unit. This often requires a full 4 year check, which can be pro-rated, depending on the remaining service life of the existing PCB.
