Pre-takeoff checklist
There is an effort underway to get enough Commanders together to help get over the finish line for an STC from Genesys. We have between 13 and 15 now and trying to get as close to 20 as we can. The Commander Owner's Group has been working on getting the numbers together over last year and now we are in the last few weeks, probably. I know someone posted something to FaceBook, but, I am not sure if anyone posted on here, so I am.
The number counts mentioned above are for people who have a PO with their shop. Genesys is counting those, not people who say "I'm in". If you have a Commander, want a modern autopilot, check out what Genesys is offering and talk to your avionics shop - and decide what you want to do. I am not trying to sell anything - just let other Commander owners know that this effort is afoot.
I have a Commander 114 and see this as the best route to get a modern autopilot - and hope to reach others. You can reach out to your shop, Mike Demeter with Genesys, post a reply here, or post something to the Commander Owners Group - there is a Genesys 3100 Interest thread - if you have questions.
