3100

Introduction to the Genesys STEC 3100 Autopilot

[@daleberger6984]

It's a Yaw Damper. Not Dampener. See Section 3-5 of the Pilot's Guide. 40 year autopilot tech here. Just finished installing this autopilot in 177RG with a GTN750 driving an Aspen EFD1000Pro MAX. Works flawlessly. Finishing the flight tests this week.

CORRECTION: In the video I mistakenly say pushing the HDG button turns on the autopilot, that is not correct.

One would think a 7,000 hour “Master Instructor” would know there is no such thing as a yaw dampener. It has a yaw damper!

[@chucksdesk]

can the setup in the 3100 be set to use mph instead of knots? My airspeed is in mph.

Can this autopilot be used on a G1000 to replace the KAP140? I have a 2006 C-182T. Looking to upgrade the autopilot.

Hi Jeff!, The G1000 system can be a challenge. My best advice is to contact Andy Campbell directly at [e-mail]

[@jeffannis7074]

@@PilotSafetyOrg THANKS - I emailed Andy. Much appreciated.

Regarding the STEC 3100- Can I use any baro-corrected the vertical controls? you state Garmin g500 txi works... so would a Garmin G5 work as well?

[@waynehollar799]

The G5 is not currently compatible with the 3100, and I'm guessing that Garmin probably intended it that way, at least for now.

[@PilotSafetyOrg]

The G5 HSI absolutely works with the S-Tec 3100. It is compatible.
