Does this Garmin Suite have the necessary updates with no other modifications needed to the system?

Thanks in advance.

It's upgraded to WAAS which is good, but is limited by not having the GFC700 Garmin autopilot. The Stec-55x is a rate based, not an attitude based autopilot.

[Seefuture]

The answer to Mcstealth’s question is yes. All the applicable G1000 avionics softwear Is up to date and does not require further upgrade. That was done when the WAAS and 345x packages were installed at the same time in 2017 if memory serves. Thx.

So, some approaches are not available with the 55 where they are with the 700?

The 55x is a good autopilot but its no Garmin autopilot. it should be able to do the approaches, but the GFC autopilots are the gold standard for autopilots in this time. I think the plane is priced about right for what you're getting.

No, the Stec 55 is a good autopilot and all approaches will be supported. It's not quite the Garmin GFC700 but it's probably as close as you can get. 

This is a good panel.

You have the added advantage with the S-Tec 55x if your G1000 AHRS throws in the towel and you are flying with standby instruments you can still use the autopilot which is nice at a critical time. You cannot do that with the GFC 700. You are hand flying the airplane all the way down. The GFC 700 may have a great computer and servos, but it lacks the redundancy of the S-Tec installation. I also regularly fly LPV approaches to minimums with my S-Tec unit and it is solid. After flying both installations, to me the difference but for the redundancy, is nil.

Our truly amazing Ovation is now sold.  Over the last 7 years, she has taken our family and friends from Yellowknife to Newfoundland, the Bahamas out islands to Oklahoma City, Boston to Kansas and more points in between than I can honestly remember...what an aircraft.  Thanks to Clarence (M20Doc) and the gang at TriCity for keeping her in such great shape. Be well everybody.

Be well, SeeF.

Congrats on the sale.

The two usual questions that come up...

1) What’s next?

and...

2) Do we know the new owner?

Best regards,

I don’t believe the new owner is a Mooneyspacer yet.  As for me, I’m going to try my hand at multi engine flying next.  

[carusoam]

Send pics of the new ride when you can...

We have had a few MSers graduate to twins and turbines...

And a couple that have needed a bigger back seat... 

Best regards,
