Question about Garmin G5s paired to non-Garmin Autopilot

[edessa]

Am I correct to assume that no autopilot other than Garmin will display Flight Director on the G5?

 

[bnt83]

correct

 

[edessa]

correct

Thank you.

That’s one of several good reasons to consider the 275s instead of the G5s. Or maybe look at Aspen or Avidyne?

I already have the G5's and a GTN 650 installed. Looking at autopilot for future install.

Being an A&P, I.A., I can’t bring my self to pay for someone to install it especially after I did all the upgrades myself. If only Garmin would let any certified tech install the system I would had it installed already.

Can’t find an installer that would swap work with you?

Any option for a "supervised installation"? You install, they supervise, inspect, and authorize?
