Gents,
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE visit the link and add your aircraft/email info. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...ewform?c=0&w=1 It takes 30 seconds, it's free and they won't hassle you with spam. Companies like Trio and TruTrak are the BEST CHANCE we've got at an affordable way to get rid of our legacy autopilots /directional gyros/attitude indicators.

Done did it.
I think we need to show interest to EAA also. They hold the STC for the Garmin G5 PFD/HSI. This unit has been certified for C172, C182, PA-28, etc and could be the best option for a Aspen like PFD at an affordable price. Just a thought

Garmin G5
Thrown my hat in the ring...
I have the Garmin G5 in my 337 (am I the first?) and absolutely love the thing. The Skymaster is on the AML for the STC. Garmin just recently got the G5 approved as a primary HSI as well - have a package deal, 2 x G5's for 5 grand. That gives you something that approximates the Aspen 1000 for half the price. Dynon have a similar STC for the D10. I think now that manufactures have opened this door, we're going to see more cool stuff from the experimental world crossing into the Certified arena, which I'm all for. The FAA are encouraging it. It'd be cool to see a new autopilot option for the old girl, the STEC is super awesome, but its over 20k. *Ouch* Leighton. Last edited by LostKiwi : 04-20-17 at 03:33 PM.

g5 hsi in t337c
holy smokes....sure enough, there it is on the AML, my T337C. You're right, $4118 with harness and gps interface times two will make a nice replacement for my older NSD-360a HSI....it says avail May 9th.
Just need to make sure it interfacees ok with my dual Avidyne IFD550 stack, as well as investigate the use of it as heading indicator for the Navomatic good info...any PIREPS on the unit thus far (ie anyone have advanced unit)? Also, any other competitors we should be checking out b4 jumping on this one?

I have the G5 installed as an AH and can speak very highly of it. Moderately confident I'm the first 337 driver to install one.
Its very clear and bright and readable, regardless of light conditions (has a light sensor in it, auto dims as needed) Info is easy to interpret, altitude presets are super handy, you get a lot of bang for the buck. Plus... it makes the panel look super cool! Right out of the box it has the HSI as an option, but installed in the AH slot you have to disable that as part of the STC. Of course I sat there and played with it before i disabled it... Its pretty schweet! You can have the full circle, or the half circle. I think from memory it has the VOR's and traffic on it as an over lay - sorta moving map styles. Don't quote me on that though. Before you pull the trigger, check with Garmin about the 2 for 1 deal. I'm pretty sure they are offering a combo of the AH and the HSI together, and it was a bunch cheaper than trying to buy them individually. Leighton. Last edited by LostKiwi : 04-22-17 at 05:47 PM.

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.
