GFC 500 Digital Autopilot: In-flight Demo

[@PortCharlotteAlex]

Would have loved shots of the actual auto pilot.

[@robpoulton5232]

Would have been better to focus this video more on the AP controller and G5 indicators, not on the people talking. Great product though.

[@daviddressler5529]

Yes, show me the things I can't read about.

This would have been a more useful video if it had showed more of the instrument panel and the autopilot keys instead of the face of the person speaking. It was nearly impossible to catch what keys were being pressed on the GFC500 and what the G5 was showing in response.

Thank you for the feedback. That’s fair, this was really designed to help convey the features and benefits. It sounds like you’re looking for more hands-on training. We certainly have some content that is oriented that way as well. Check out this link and let us know what you think: ms.spr.ly/6058Tgdg6 ^DK

Get the STC for the Piper Comanche and I will give you my money. :-)

Flying the ILS 26 at KTWF my GTN 750/GFC 500 tracks the dme arc perfectly. Approaching the arc localizer intersection the gtn auto switches to the localzer but the gfc 500 auto switches to pitch and roll. So you don’t turn and fly by the localizer.I can’t figure out why. Nearing the inbound turn I have to switch to heading mode, steer to intercept the localizer and then switch to nav and the gtn/gfc flies it perfectly. What’s up Garmin? G5x2, GTN 750, GFC 500, GTX 345 in a Cessna TU206G.

It will be best to contact our product support team at [e-mail] to help better understand your specific configuration and pilot actions to help resolve. Thank you for being a Garmin customer. ^DK

Jessica - will the GFC500 and the G5 work to full functionality with the IFD440 GPS? Thank you

[@avianant6029]

This was a great video!

[@brax2364]

So either you work for Garmin and produced this worthless video or you already own the GFC 500 and have hours of experience using it. For the rest of us it would be nice to see how the thing actually works rather than watch talking heads.

[@avianant6029]

​@@brax2364hahaha I do not work for Garmin, just a private pilot. The bit I found useful was seeing the G5s with the autopilot, as back then I was training on that equipment. Happy to answer any questions you have about it now tho

[@SuperEddietv]

WOW! I saw absolutely nothing. eesh...........

[@brax2364]

Great that Michael does this and does that but no actual info on HOW Michael does all that wonderful stuff. Total waste of time.

[@jt1515]

I am sorry I got bored watching these two more than actual product...come on Garmin, you can afford a better/professional video of the product than this...

[@MrTomcat320]

Can't believe that a big company like GARMIN is doing such a poor video showing mostly people talking instead of showing the AP and the panel.

[@cleburne-dfwseptic6843]

poor quality video
