I'm new to G3X and its available monitoring. Also new with my GFC 500 autopilot. Maybe 15 hours flying after install.
No issues on a few local flights. No issue on 2 hour longer flight. No issue on 4 hour flight.
On return 4 hr trip, last hour had some stuff happen. AMPS and volts alarmed low at the same time the AP cut off. Did this maybe 3 times, amps/volts slow to recover, only only recovered after I put AP back on. Final 20 minutes no issues. All previous flights were smooth air, this was starting to get very low levels of turbulence, VERY low.
Today, AP cut off 4 times in 2 hours, went back on when prompted. Not directly observed to be associated with amp/volts readings BUT those readings did get low again. Not sure what fixed them but I did shut down some lights (I normally fly with everything on).
On amps and volts, should I be concerned, or am I just getting too much data and anxious?
On AP shutting off and being easy to re engage, what might this be?
What would you do?
Thanks!
