The old 400A
Pat,
I have a 77 G with the 400A. Early on when I first got the bird which was (10) + years ago the A/P would not couple to the ILS. I took it to an avionics shop in NH. An old timer since retired, repaired it and it has worked quite well over the years and will do a reasonable coupled approach. There will probably be lots of pro and con over the 400’s. The shop that you deal with, do they have an old timer or someone that KNOWS the 400? Maybe do a search and see if you can find an old timer or someone who knows the 400’s. In my neck of the woods, NH./MA. There is a shop on the Cape (HYA) Griffin Avionics that still works on them, at least the last I checked or needed work done which was (6) years ago. At that time the trim motor was changed out. I sure would like one with all the niceties however it will have to break real bad for me to do that. Hope she’s not listening, wouldn’t want to jinks it. Guy, the old 72 driver…
