Top slot of mfd along with the check list if you have one.

Yes, even a little hotter at the beach which is not normal. Getting wind from the east.

Yes there will be 2 touch screen GCU's on the G5000 like the G3000 has.

No you can go to the menu and shrink (collapse) the Airway, then you will not have all the waypoints in the flight plan, just the V airways.

Looks like it is the new G1000 type avionics and auto pilot for large type part 25 aircraft, i.e. Airline type planes.

All the G1000 3000 and the Perspective you do not need to use waypoints just use the airway name or number. I would think the G5000 would do the same.

Garmin is working on the new G5000 for the part 25 aircraft.

I have 2 Bose A20's and the mike is MUCH BETTER than the X's mike. They are a little hotter than the X's were, so now I do not have to set the side tone or mike gain on the G1000 GMA set up, like I did with the X's.

Yes, I agree with that. So just hold the MKR button down for the 2 beeps if you do not want ATC mute, otherwise the ATC will mute the XM as is.

Matt, the G1000 cockpit guide should be in the plane to be legal.

The new 563.20 will have 2 VIDIO inputs that can be activated, When that comes out soon. I also have separate MUTE, VOL UP and VOL DOWN on separate switches on my plane.

The XM audio does automatically unmute when you get past 80kts, on some installs. Now if you want the music to keep playing when ATC talks then all you have to do is hold the MKR button on the GMA down for 5 seconds and wait for the TWO BEEPS that will take it out of auto muting for ATC. You...

Well I guess it was worth $70,000 because original poster went for the GFC700 over the KAP140, I also did the same thing. I do know by looking at the prices for the non WAAS GFC aircraft, they are going for about $70k to $100k. less, and take longer to sell.

Yes you could, but you could just drive to get the burger and keep the money, why buy the plane to start with? Nobody needs a GPS, auto pilot, or nice paint, but some do and some like the the WAAS and GFC700 for $70k more because that's what they want and like to spend there money on. For me I...

Almost all problems with the KAP140 was fixed for no charge if you did the service bulletins in the time they gave you. Most owners missed the SB's and then had to pay. If all the SB's were done the KAP worked flawless for me. To some people the auto pilot is very important, it would be worth...

"English please. So you think it is a pos or not? Is it 20yrs out of date or not?" No the KAP is not 20 years out of date. for the money paid by the OEM's, and being a rate based AP, that is about all you can get. To have airspeed hold and pitch control you need a rate based AP, and it takes...

I would not say that was a bad post, the KAP140 is the best Rate based AP IMO but is not a integrated AP like the GFC. I have had the ,KAP140 in my 172 and then the 182, it does take some work to use but so does the GFC just not as much. The KAP140 was made for the restart Cessna's and a few...

In the end KAP or GFC, it boils down to what you like in a plane, it could be speed, it could be comfort, it could be avionics, and it could be style. So to some the KAP and $70 in their pocket sounds good and to others the GFC is what makes them happy.

What year is your plane? If you want alt hold or preselect. Check out Stec PSS or alt 30 7904 is the KAP140 with roll steering. Only with DC rs. KLN94

Unlike the KAP 140 the GFC will disconect below 70kts, the KAP will just let the plane stall, The GFC knows the airspeed of the plane unlike the KAP140 does not know what airspeed you are at. That is just one the differance between the two AP, It works the way Tim says also but below 70 kts...
