G5 HSI feature tour

[@coma13794]

Great stuff, BP. If my century hsi dies, I will replace it with that hsi.

[@tringalij]

Does it have a ground track indicator at all? Also, can it switch to an arc mode or is it always stuck in that 360 rose mode?

[@asxviagra3114]

Great video. Will this interface with a Navomatic 300A?

[@waqarsyed6641]

Awesome investment

[@flyguy-pb5sx]

just curious why does the autopilot need the “old” ADI? Is there a limitation/capability issue with the G5 for some APs? If upgrading to a G5 stack, I would want to eliminate the need of a vacuum system.

[@drumloud88]

Does the G5 HSI connect to the nav radio for ils, vor, and loc approaches? As in not the GPS. My flying club has a 172 that has a Garmin 175 navigator. It doesn't have an obs option to switch the cdi from GPS to vloc because the navigator only gives GPS information. It doesn't have integrated comms or nav. We're in the market to get a second G5 as the HSI but I'm worried that we'll only be able to read GPS data on it and won't be able to connect it to the nav frequencies on our radio stack.

Nice video. I have the same setup including the same autopilot. I d like to talk to you about some settings.

[@Joemazzei4340]

just setting up G5 with PIper Autocontrol IIIB which is centry as well what if anything did you have to do to autopilot to make work?

[@zn105]

Joe Mazzei are you installing a Garmin GAD29B as well?

[@Joemazzei4340]

Yes and I was able to find out that there is a box to make the connection to the Piper Autocontrol IIIB i have a plug and play connection. I found it on the Sarasota Avionics web site.

Is the event you lost one of the displays could you display both navigation and attitude info on the same screen?

[@seikibrian8641]

As far as I know you can't, for example, superimpose the PFD over an HSI screen, but in PFD mode there is a compass tape along the top of the screen, and you can have a CDI near the bottom (just above the slip/skid indicator ball), so you do have basic navigation information.

Where is the glideslope and why can't I hear you?

[@larryvet53]

Hello, watching your video and I just had dual g5's installed with my garmin 430 and stec 30 autopilot. at anytime while flying, i there is 9 degrees difference between the 430 and the g5's???? Any suggestions

[@tracyfajette2122]

Larry Markley What’s the magnetic variation in your area? Could the 430 be reading true and the HSI be displaying magnetic?

[@larryvet53]

@@tracyfajette2122 that is a possibility.I will check tonight trying out the autopilot and straight and level variation. Thank you so much for responding. we are Akron Ohio based between 7 and 8 degrees variation

[@seanbuller7578]

nice set up indeed. is that a mooney?

[@bdpd1]

Yup 1977 M20J (201)

[@twopheew9995]

That a Mooney?

[@bdpd1]

1977 J model

[@tarrow4]

Watch out for that autopilot. If that’s a Century, losing your vacuum system stops the AI and the autopilot doesn’t know when to stop banking. Theres limits in the AI that stop the autopilot from banking too far.
