Hello, If you were wondering why. Watch this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I actually did a G3X touch, and the shop changed the original transducer to Electronic International. According to them, you don’t need that much of adjustment on the K factor but it’s had to believe. I think mine is off by 5-7% I assume you’ve installed GFC 500 and GTN navigator. How do you like your setup ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When you upgrade to Garmin G3X touch or G500 TXI with engine data, Garmin has its own transducer which you have to replace. From factory it has a K factor of 76000. I was trying to see if anybody where able to play around with the K factor for this particular setup to get a true Fuel Flow reading on a M20J. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello guys, Looking for a K factor value on a M20J with this particular setup. If you would kindly share your inputs I greatly appreciate it. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you so much! I’ll send him an email [emoji120] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Steve, Don’t get me wrong. 750txi or even 530w is wonderful. I was trained with them till recently with my experience with IFD. On IFD 540, 1) you have GO reference when you’re entering flight plane or you have amendment to your route. It’s so convenient. 2) Go reference frequency with the names. 3) when you’re on a map it shows all your crossing altitude for non-precision approaches! 4) you get to any page with in 1-2 click. 5) FMS system it’s much easier. With 750TXI, you have to change pages each times you want to change or edit a flight plan, obstacle, and more. IFD is not like that! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes the cost is about 4K more. I have always been a Garmin guy. Had a 530w before. Few months ago I tried the IFD trainer apps and I felt in love with it! Absolutely stunning comparing to GTN 750 which I know how to operate as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m in the process of installation of ( G3X touch, G5, GFC500 autopilot, IFD 540 ) and i keep reading many forms that you will not get the full functionally of GFC 500 autopilot with IFD. Apparently there is a issue with the VNAV function and on the GPS approach right after FAF the airplane will deviate one or two dot to the right or left. Unfortunately when i call Avidyne to confirm with the tec support, they cant assist me with this intermigration. Dealers or installers don't know either! I love the IFD product and is a excellent unit for those who truly fly IFR. But if this is the case I've to change to Garmin 750TXI. I don't know how can we confirm this and who do you need to reach in Avidyne to confirm! We are buying their products but with poor support! Please anyone with the same setup please share your thoughts. Greatly appreciate it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s what I also heard. No improvement on the J. But pre J, yes! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone recently removed the stock exhaust on a Mooney M20J for PowerFlow? I would like to hear your thoughts on the upgrade and performance! Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, I’m sure I got a J 1983. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s how I look at it when I set the budget for the installation of GFC 500! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t get me wrong. This is excellent setup and the flight director it’s not a huge thing for pilots trained to fly with old steam gauges and without any of this stuff! But I got to a point of my life that I like to have more redundancy and safety. Garmin GFC 500 autopilot has a lot to offer in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was leaning towards Aspen and the EA1000 last year before I install my G5 HSI. This would be a good system but the autopilot wouldn’t have a flight director. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wouldn’t know. I already have a G5 HSI, so for me another G5 Ai is more symmetrical Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
