Bob_Belville Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Garmin has a MSer's M20F in their possession now for installation of a GFC 500. The owner expects to get his plane back by August, I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to Start a writing campaign...? No need to campaign, the F model is in progress, that is to say they have a F model in their possession in order to gain FAA certification for the GFC 500. I believe the "Goal" is to be complete and certified by OSH. The E model has been identified, but will likely not begin the certification process until July. Apparently, in the FAA's eyes each model of the M20 series is "different" enough that each must be certified individually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
