So only $30k for you!

To anyone else thinking about it, the G5 is not compatible.

Absolutely!
Please put me on the list. I really hope this happens.

My last plane had the GFC600 autopilot and it’s a real game changer. More important, I believe a real safety feature. The “level”
Button alone can save a life.

I’ll be watching this closely and will offer my plane as a test bed if the other plane falls through

Thx for the update.

Yes, I agree a digital autopilot would really make the airframes more attractive as the install base grows. And safer!

I'm assuming that for a pre-existing GI275 to qualify, it would have had to be setup as an AI? Mine was not, and I was told it can't be reconfigured as such.
