Flying home from Southern California (EMT)

Still learning the G500 and GFC500 as we fly over lots of beautiful green California spring scenery!
Flying a Cessna 182 Skylane with:
* Garmin G500 TXi PFD/MFD
* GFC 500 autopilot
* GTN 750 navigator
* EDM 900 engine monitor

How’s the Gfc 500?

[@FlyingLessons]

I love it - even a notch more than the GFC 700 I used for IFR training, although it makes weirdly steep turns sometimes... Still troubleshooting that a bit. But if flies nice coupled approaches, nice vnav profiles with the GTN, etc. World of difference from the KAP 140 it had.

James Sloan what shop did you use?

[@FlyingLessons]

@@TheCapTan I used aerial avionics at RHV. Only shop I've dealt with although I did get quotes from a bunch. They're a little disorganized, and we're still working out a couple of kinks (with the flightsteam, the JPI, and a bit on failure modes between all the stuff) but I assume that's normal with this level of alteration, and overall I'm pretty happy.
