GFC500 Suitable Replacement for KFC225?
ArtVandelay replied to V1VRV2's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
If You’re planning on keeping an old autopilot, I would definitely recommend buying spares when they become available from those that do upgrades. -

What about replacing the headset jacks or cleaning those as well. -
G3X / G5 / GFC 500 / GTN 650 Installation time
ArtVandelay replied to PT20J's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
You forgot the time required to remove interior, antenna installation, and servo installation is rather labor intensive since it is different for every plane. -
Garmin GFC 500 Autopilot Flight Overview
ArtVandelay replied to Rmag's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
Shouldn’t the GPS know when to activate the approach mode? It knows I’ve activated the approach and when I’m established? -
I compare static MAP to field barometer setting...adjust as necessary.

Yes, ground speeds. Two things to remember, 1) when the wind is 90° to your course, you’ll need to turn into the wind to maintain your course. Even if the wind is 100° or more, it will actually slow you down if strong enough. 2) You’ll spend more time flying into the wind than you spend flying with it, so average over time will be lower. I don’t know how GP calculates it.

Were you able to fit both on the left side of the radio stacks? JPI records everything it knows about, including GPS data if configured. -
Speaking of maintenance and speed, before overhaul when I had a deteriorating cam:129, since overhaul 137 knots.

It might come down to how much panel space you have. -

Ditto, I always feel like a CIA analyst when I do this. I do this to look for hotels within walking distance as well. -
