Without command bars, you're just flying raw needles, correct? Why make life difficult for yourself when you can just fly up in the command bars and they keep you on a perfect approach path laterally and vertically. Unless I'm missing something.
So for example, for this to work, I could use two GI 275s, a Garmin 430W and some kind of an autopilot head to that will integrate and communicate with the other hardware? Anyone have any ideas of such a setup?
I flew a Beech 1900 for US Air Express years ago with no autopilot but we had a flight director that would drive us down the ILS with command bars. There must be a way to do this. It's such a basic function, OTHERWISE THE ENTIRE GA WORLD IS FLYING RAW DATA APPROACHES?????
Is there any other display (G5?) that can be driven by a NAV unit (Garmin430/530/650) that has a flight director/command bars? Avionics shops can't seem to answer my question.
Thanks, Tom
Installing badic IFR panel in a Cessna 172 with two GI 275. What nav units will drive a flight director (command bars), no autopilot installed.
It's unclear which units drive command bars and which ones don't
Thx
