    GFC 500 install quote is outrageous

    They should at least take you to dinner before doing this. No way is it worth that much. Tell them they have to install a GTN 650Xi for that price.

    Garmin GFC 500 Disconnect

    I’ve never had it disconnect before. If there is a servo vault the G5s will tell you. I had issues after the first flight when I picked it up but my shop help me clear the issue. Until yesterday it’s been great. I hope it was a one off. I used it after the disconnect without issue. Only recent...

    We’re you in cruise and it would happen or because of turbulence?

    Garmin GFC 500 Disconnect

    Today while climbing my GFC 500 gave me a red blinking AP signal on my G5 display and disconnected. This is the first time I have had any issues this great autopilot. I have recently upgraded by G5s to 8.0. Anyone else have this issue before?

    Engine Stutter

    Touring flight and I had a quick engine stutter. It’s the third time this has happened in the past year. This time I was able to notice MP from 19.1 -19.3 for a few seconds. Fuel was sumped and next flight flew without incident.

    Max RPM

    Field elevation is 1500. Climb is within book numbers. Last flight temp was around 60F with 800ft min climb till 3500. I haven't checked with a external tach to verify accuracy. But after annual I lost about 30rpm from 2600.

    Max RPM

    On my 1968 Piper Arrow 180 the rpms do not reach 2700 on takeoff. I currently get on my engine monitor 2570 and my tach shows around 2600. My mechanic states that its set to max adjustment on his end. Any suggestions?

    Piper Gfc 500 altitude Hold

    I have a pa28r-180. The oscillations are intermittent. They have an update for models without pitot static ports on the fuselage. Garmin at one point wanted to use my plane to correct it but it was in annual. I’m on 6.82 G5’s. The garmin update was released this year Jan but I haven’t had time...

    Piper Gfc 500 altitude Hold

    Has anyone with a Piper and GFC 500 updated to the newest software designed for planes without a fuselage mounted static port? It’s suppose to stop the oscillations while on alt hold.

    Flight to Glendale Az Video

    Yes. The door hatch is on the list. I have a few minor squawks being fixed next week at my 50 hour oil change. My mechanic says is the thinning of the opening that is not leaving enough for the latch to hold on to. I bought the plane with the mirror. I'll ask the old owner to see.

    Flight to Glendale Az Video

    Had my mechanic check it out and he adjusted idle which was too low. Last time he checked it with me it was around 600. When I checked it after this flight it was down to 350 but wasn't that low on runup. Maybe I was too fast on idle checks to bring it back to 1000. Ive been landing on Runway 8...

    Flight to Glendale Az Video

    With live games in Arizona for Hockey, I knew I had to go and what better excuse than to take the Arrow. Hit some great speeds 186 knots GS and turbulence along the way. Engine quit right after landing at Glendale (GEU).

    Comanche

    No the shop needs to check it out. He’s an excellent pilot. I have dual G5’s and can go toe to toe with shops and you would be shocked at how much the shops don’t knows and make mistakes. The shop that did my install was shocked at the everything I knew install wise. He explained to me when we...
