    So, one of the data fields on my GTN-650Xi is ETA in LCL time. But the LCL time is not the local time at the destination, but the local time based on the GMT offset you set in settings. So if you take off in Easter time zone, for a destination in Central, it shows you ETA in Eastern time...

    Garmin G3X and KAP-150 Autopilot

    I was pricing some avionics upgrades and the one shop stated that a G3X cannot drive a KAP-150 autopilot. But the Garmin page says it can, but G3X Touch will not support display of flight director (FD), autopilot modes or annunciations for non-Garmin autopilots. Consult your Authorized Garmin...
