Here's the link: https://www.gulfcoastavionics.com/products/4202-g5-electronic-flight-instrument-for-certified-aircraft.aspx Yes sir, it's a great unit. I picked one up last October and had it installed it in December. I had a little problem with the unit tilting the AH but after upgrading to the latest firmware of v2.6 it seems to be working great. I love the G5. Quote

Thanks for the info bud If they come up with an STC for an autopilot combo I might consider hanging on to my girl for a bit longer; otherwise, I'll continue to offer her up and cry when she leaves me.

I doubt that'll happen. I just don't see the FAA giving up that much freedom to us non-experimental guys. However, I hope I'm wrong. 2 Quote

I am not saying anything bad about the Tomahawk other than the production numbers. To which Mooney easily outnumbers the Tomahawk that are still flying at least here in the States. Secondly Mooney uses the same Type Certificate which covers M20 to Acclaim models. In comparison to Cessna C172 and C182 and other models which has 3 to 5 different type certificates for essentially the same model. Which makes a really pain to get it approved 1 Quote
Brian Scranton Posted February 16, 2017 Report Posted February 16, 2017 If I have a Century III AP that is linked to my AI for pitch--how does the D10 or the G5 affect that? Would I still need to keep my AI (ie, move it to the co-pilot side) to have pitch inputs for my AP? Quote

You can place the D10 or G5 front and center and replace your turn coordinator with your original AI that drives the Autopilot. Quote
