    GFC 500 does such an amazing job in that headwind!

    Getting a GFC500 this month. Not sure I can get used to the idea of an AP flying while I see rocks going by.

    What is a reasonable expectation for a GNC-500's final install cost?

    Question: Have you ever experienced the Alt Hold light to come on without pilot button push?

    I am having 2 G5s and GArmin Auto Pilot installed. I have the Garmin CDI Installed which I can select GPS or NAV. It looked like you also had GPS on your CDI. They are telling me I can't have GPS on my CDI as a selection. Prioriy it can only go to Garmin HSI. However it looked like youe CDI was locked on to GPS from your 430. Please confirm Thanks great video

    Nice. I am about to have one installed in my 182 with two Gi275s. I have a Garmin 530w to connect with.

      Agree. I just added GFC500 and am trying to get the fine details of operation. Good to see the whole panel during video. Just like my Mooney 201. Very helpful. Thank you

    The aural alerts you receive for altitude...did that come alive as a result of the GFC500? I have the dual G5s with GNX375 and no altitude alerting. Considering adding the GFC500 as it appears to do an amazing job in that crosswind! Thx for the video.

    • @bdpd1

      Altitude alerting comes from the GFC 500 mode control panel.

    Can you operate the yaw damper with the autopilot off?

    • @bdpd1
      @bdpd1  4 роки тому

      Yes you can. There are three different normal buttonologies to disconnect (besides non normal such as circuit breaker etc). AP disco switch will turn everything off, flight director stays on. If you run the trim manually it will leave the yaw damper on. you can also turn it off from the panel and that acts like the disconnect switch.

      @@soflaav8r yes you can also operate with the YD on / off alone, YD with flight director, or YD on / off with autopilot just like other autopilots

    how did you get the altitude alerter to ding through the speakers and not headsets is that in the G5 software or wiring?

    • @bdpd1
      @bdpd1  3 роки тому +1

      It’s the way it’s wired to the audio panel as an I switched input - it will ding through both speaker (it turned on) and headsets

    Thinking of adding the YD servo to my 201 with GFC 500. Does it make a big difference in turbulence?
    Faster than you can react ?
    Thanks and your video is awesome.

    • @bdpd1
      @bdpd1  3 роки тому

      Yes it cuts down on the oscillations and tail wag after encountering turbulence significantly. In the Mooney it also allows for feet off rudders climbs and descents

    Good job on the video. I do have a question: Once you load the approach, you turn 210 to intercept. You also hit APR mode. Do you have to press the button each time or will the AP capture the decent profile if left alone?

    • @bdpd1
      @bdpd1  3 роки тому +1

      You have to push the next selected mode to arm the approach, then both HDG and LOC will be annunciated until you intercept the localizer. Similar behavior for vertical mode - it won’t depart the ALT hold until you intercept glide path with apr mode selected
