I am one of those. No such requirement, just commercial and 1200 minimum hours (135.243) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah, I thought this came from field testing in the experimental world, maybe even in the certified world - installed along the GFC 700 for smaller airplanes. I think it is an improved version, but the basic functionality might not be that different. I fly several GFC 700 equipped airplanes...

Hello all, I got a GFC500 installed in a C182Q in March, 2018. Since then, I have had two servo failures. This comes up on the G5 screen: Servo clutch fault Servo hardware fault The first one was a trim servo, which was replaced under warranty and took 8 hours to do the work. The second...

Went there in October last year and went to north Eleuthera Airbnb in Spanish wells. 6 friends in 2 airplanes. Island hopped down the Exuma chain and landed at Staniel Cay. Went snorkeling the afternoon and flew back to north Eleuthera before dark. The other plane went down to Stella maris and...

$145/tach

I will get a pic next time I am at the airport but here is what the 172 looks like (no GFC 500 but similar panel): Goes for $110/tach hour!

What airport was this? Some SIDs can be complicated and demanding, but can always be declined by you or your CFII. Teterboro one is one example taking off runway 24 - especially in a fast airplane and unfamiliar pilot. The RUUDY ONE rnav departure is much easier.

I am a CFII, and such sloppiness is the result of the CFII’s incompetence - regardless of the student’s experience. The CFII should’ve owned up to this and made the call.

It was installed at 3 different times and 2 different shops, but it took 15k for GFC 500 (with pitch trim servo) and 10k for dual G5 (including GMU 11 and GAD 29B) - a total of about 25 AMU - So if you subtract the cost of the equipment - about 8.5k for GFC 500 with trim servo and 5k for dual...

All, My flying club in Gaithersburg just completed the avionics upgrade for our 182, complete with a GFC 500. I went and picked up the plane, and it is fantastic. - Preset my climb altitude, and IAS before take off. - Lined up with the runway, pushed the GA (Go Around) button. That gave me...

Excellent to hear this. Our 182 is getting the GFC 500 installed at a Garmin dealer as we speak. Can't wait for it to come out on Tuesday next week. I would love to read the installation manual, but can't find it anywhere. Would you happen to have a link or something?

http://www.chiefaircraft.com/pdf/G5INSTALL.pdf section 4.3.2. Another plane of ours came backwith G5s wired to the avionics bus :(

Someone from the club called Garmin and were told that. Not sure where there would be any info other than calling Garmin. Maybe google might know something, but I haven't looked.

Push and hold for 10 seconds and it will come on. Known issue, Garmin working on fix.

Sorry, I mis-stated. The 430 and the EDM850 were installed a few years ago before the GTN was available. Everything else was in 2017.
