PT20J 3,061 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 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 post Share on other sites
