The Ca AVS (Addestramento al volo strumentale) is a twin-engined night flying and instrument trainer resembling the Ca 314 externally. A low-wing cantilever monoplane, it is powered by two 770 hp Isotta Fraschini Delta RC 40-III inverted V-12 engines, driving three blade constant speed props.
The cantilever monoplane wing comprises a centre-section and two outer sections. Construction is of wood with two box spars, former ribs and plywood covering.
The fuselage is a welded steel-tube framework, built in two sections and bolted together, with fabric covering over a light fairing structure. The tail unit is wood with plywood and fabric covering. The elevators and rudders are aerodynamically and statically balanced.
A crew of six can be carried for instruction of wireless operators, navigators and bomb aimers. Dual controls are fitted and one position can be screened off for blind flying.
