      Do they (GI275/G5) slave to/from the G3X Touch or is there a switch to separate and choose if the G3X or GI275 is commanding the GFC500?

    Hi Dan, Garmin should send you a check and use your video in their training materials. Superbly done. I've watched it several times now as it was my prep for my GFC500 which I picked up today. Thanks for making it such an easy transition. I LOVE that Autopilot!

    Good informational video. We just got a GFC500 installed and this is a good intro. At 6:08 I would prefer to keep it in HDG mode before turning the AP on. Then after the AP 'settles' I would hit NAV. I don't like the idea of the AP starting turns when I turn it on. Just personal preference I guess.

      @AeroRamer ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@RMAG Not an official term. I guess typing my thoughts did not come out clear. Is personal preference. Your way is as you know perfectly fine. I like to set the HSI heading bug to the current heading before I turn on the AP. So that when I turn on the AP the aircraft does not immediately starts banking trying to follow the NAV signal/GPS route. Can I skip the HDG steps, sure. I guess for me is a personal procedure. When using AP, I do this: 1) press the HSI heading bug to sync with current heading, 2) turn on AP, 3) press AP HDG button, 4) observe that AP is stable (for me, no banking), wait a few seconds then 5) press NAV to allow the AP to follow my flight plan.

In the Rev Q of the GI 275 Pilot Manual it is found on page 39 for airspeed, and page 43 for altimeter. On a G500 TXI the HSI also has them which depicts your turn rate.

    Good overview. I have my gfc500 interfaced to a g500txi display via the G5, which works well (the G5 mirrors the settings on the G500).
    One hint for new gfc500 drivers: I keep hitting that %^&* Toga button by accident. I used to turn the AP off to stop it from climbing, but I discovered the LVL button is a good way to cancel it, then you reprogram what you were doing before. In fact the LVL button is a good "get out of jail free" button anytime the AP is doing something you don't want, since it goes to the most passive mode (wings level no pitch) while you sort out what went wrong.

      The GFC 500 requires a G3X, a G5, or a GI 275 to drive it. The TXi is not designed to drive it directly. But yes all of the adjustments made on the GFC 500 shows up up on both the GI 275 and the G500 TXi. In fact if you make adjustments to altitude selections or barometric pressure settings on the TXi it will also show on the GI 275 and vice versa.

      VNAV has nothing to do with the glide slope. VNAV is a programmed descent to a specific altitude at a specific waypoint, and it is limited on the GFC 500 to the waypoint prior to the Final Approach Fix. To fly a glide slope or glide path you need to have an ILS or RNAV approach loaded and active, and the autopilot in Approach mode.

    Great content, thanks. Only thing missing is NAV mode (NAV instead of GPS) :-)

      NAV mode is not missing. You choose NAV mode to follow your NAV source. Your NAV source can either be GPS or VOR/LOC. Selecting the NAV source is a function of your a navigator/radio, not the AP,

    Got a question??? I got my twin Comanche upgrade the auto pilot to GFC500! Anyone know if Garmin planning to do Rudder bias in GFC500 class ??

    Enjoyed your video but have a question When you did the go around and hit the Nav button it showed up magenta. Now when I tried the same thing it didn't show up magenta, I have a garmin 530 not a 750 like you is this the difference ? If it is, what do I have to do to get the Nav in the go around.

      I am not that familiar with a 530, but I was on an RNAV approach which is Magenta for the approach and the missed approach. So it will always be magenta. If I was on an ILS when the 750 gets to the MAP it will suspend assuming you are landing. If I do a missed approach, I have to unsuspend the 750, and it will sequence through the missed approach procedure magenta lines.

    Good job in explaining it. Thanks.
    Do you think that 1 each Gl275 and 1 each G5 would be a significant plus vs. 2 each G5s and no Gl275 ... if the only other "upgrade" glass on the panel was a GNS 650 and the GFC 500?
    I'm trying to figure out what the least expensive "basic/minimum" upgrades from a steam gauge panel to some glass ... that would really give excellent workload reduction assistance to a single pilot in thick IMC.
    Thanks again. Chuck (NE Florida) : +)

    For the first time GA has reached a point next to the airliners, the only thing missing would be an AT but even some airliners don't have that.

    when direct to an IAF in nav mode, can you arm apr mode? Will it sequence then

      79,540 according to some notes I had. I’d have to check it again to be sure.

      @@RMAG greatly appreciate it if you can double check. I’ve the same setup on my M20J. I’ve been playing round with the K factor to get it close as possible. Thank you
