PT20J Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 The Garmin autopilot is a completely different architecture than other autopilots. With a Bendix King or S-TEC, there is a computer that gets inputs from the attitude indicator and controls the servos. In the GFC 500, the control panel is not the autopilot computer. It’s just a control panel. (It also has the audio functions and some monitoring circuitry.) Most of the autopilot logic is built into the attitude indicator — some is in the servos. That’s why it only works with Garmin devices that contain the autopilot logic (G5, G3X, GI275). Skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
