Nope, nope, nope. This is what all the Cessna heavy singles and light twins need and Garmin HAS NOT done it.

The G5 (including the new HSI versions) can't provide heading bug info to analog autopilots. If you want get rid of your legacy HSA/DG/AI you also need to buy a new autopilot. Period.

This is why we're all dying for Trio or TruTrak to come to market with an autopilot for us.

Sneak peek of my new panel.

Looks real nice!
Got your 3 bladed props installed yet?



Have you priced out the STEC autopilot installation?

A couple of GIANT triangular packages actually arrived this week.

We're a couple weeks away from completed install though...gotta get through the panel upgrade and annual.

Newp. I'm just going to keep the 400A until someone (Trio? TruTrak) comes out with a cost effective autopilot or until Garmin releases a digital to analog converter that will drive analog autopilots.

I've even been pricing GPSS modules from DAC and Icarus...even that doesn't make sense. You're in for almost $5k by the time you add connectors and the annunciator and you still don't get vertical navigation. :/
