I'm curious if anyone with a G3X/G5 installation has had an inflight AHRS reversion, AHRS realignment, or MISCOMPARE annunciation and how you resolved it.

The only difference between my G5 and G3X is the altitude on the G5 shows about 20 ft higher than the G3X

With the Dynon Skyview, I occasionally would get a miscompare annunciation that usually involved a combination of tight turns and/or G forces. A couple times were just turbulence related.  One time taxiing on a rough surface while turning.  A little bit of straight and level, the annunciation would go away.  I expect pretty much the same with the GI-275s.  Except not so many tight turns and Gs with the Mooney.

Not sure if this applicable to your situation . ..... with two G5's installed and recent GFC 500 installed. I would get a "Attitude comparator" message from the G5  Data_Log file on the micro SD slot (with data logging enabled on the G5). In my case  with  2 G5's EADI  and G5 HSI was reverting back to the ADI prior to GFC500 install. I thought I had fixed this ADI reversion problem when I discovered an open CAN bus terminator and replaced it. This problem was very intermittent problem and very annoying  because some flights it would fail  and other flights it was fine very random problem. After changing the  CAN bus terminator it seem to much more reliable but I still had my doubts in the back of my mind.

It was only after the  GFC500 install did it reveal that problem had not been fixed. We couldn't have never have diagnose the problem properly without the GFC500 being  in the loop.  The installer swapped G5  positions ADI with HSI.  it worked flawless after that  and the "Attitude comparator" message wasn't showing up in data_log file and no ADI reversion on the HSI G5. this meant that my original G5 (an oldest) ADI has a bad Attitude comparator or so it appears. My installer had mention to me that it could have been almost any Garmin device on the CAN bus loop giving the "Attitude comparator"  message since most of the newer Garmin units have the AHRS circuitry embedded in them.  It may sound simple but  the more CAN  devices (nodes) on the bus especially the GFC500  the more columns appear in the Data_log file. The 2 G5 installation with GMU11, GAD13, GAD29B  configuration(before the GFC500 install) had no column for the "Attitude comparator" message which appears in the "Autopilot state" Column since it didn't exist at the time.

Hope this helps,
