The GTN also transitions to Loc/ILS automatically when intercepted provided that the GTN is on VLOC/ILS mode. The Century NAV and APP modes should work like they did in the past for radio signal guidance. On the century 21/31/41 AP you can also select HDG plus NAV when the navigator is in...

I am having problems as well with my G5 HSI. Mine never works correctly in the HDG mode. I will be taking it back to the shop.

When the G5 HSI is in HDG mode and the AP is HDG mode the aircraft flys the the heading. HDG mode does not correct for wind. In GPSS mode the aircraft will fly on the GPS plan and effectively correct for winds.

Yes, I believe the vibration levels on some platforms can cause equipment issues. The MIL and TSO equipment can handle Shock and vibrations better. I used to design systems for Naval Frigate SH-2 Helicopters and they had a life of shock and vibration. I'd much rather have fully qualified systems.

Plus misc items, plus labor. A lot of money, but that equipment there does amazing things. Love the GPSS!

I am running into the same with the G5 not powering on reliably when turning it off then back on. Someone on another thread said it was a known issue and if you hold the power button for 10 seconds it will come back on.

GPSS is so nice. The airplane follows the flight plan perfectly including correcting for wind. No more constantly adjusting your heading to stay on course. Love it!

Thanks, I did not know that. Can you point me to any info on this issue?

My G5 HSI is up and running now. It turned on and gave me a " Low Battery" alert. I checked the level and it was near 0% charged. I flew the airplane and it charged to 100%. I think I might have rushed the 3 second power off sequence and inadvertantly left it on until it was fully drained. If...

Yes, Looks Great! Let the testing begin!

When you say Master are you referring to the Red Master switch? The Red Master is the battery bus. My shop responded with "The STC installation manual states that the G5 system will be on the battery bus (listed as essential or main buss) not the Avionics bus". My airplane goes back to the shop...

In case of loss of electrical power you should be in great shape with battery powered units like the G5 and a portable GPS. That will give you attitude(G5) and location/direction (portable GPS) for hours as long as you maintain your batteries. Even at night you will see the air speed and...

My G5 HSI just died completely. The display will not come on at all. Not with Battery bus power or with the unit power button. For some reason the shop connected the G5 HSI to the Battery bus instead of the Avionics bus. I will be calling them tomorrow to schedule an appointment.

Please let me know what you find on the Heading bug issue. I have a feeling the Century AP "DG Select" ground jumper needs to be removed because we went from DG to HSI. I have no idea why mine is connected to the Battery bus and not the Avionics Master. I will be asking the shop tomorrow...

The G5 HSI can be switched from HSI mode to PFD mode. It is currently showing PFD mode which makes for a great back-up AI that works even when you loose electical power.

Your panel is coming along nicely. Good things take time. Here is a pic of my Archer upgrade with a G5 HSI. I still need to have the G5 HSI heading bug issue resolved, but have not been back to the shop yet. I'm having too much fun with the GPSS...love it. Question- Is your G5 HSI connected to...

I have not returned to the Avionics shop yet because I am waiting on the Garmin 796s to be in stock at the end of the month and do both at one visit. I believe the problem is due to the Century 21 AP "DG Select" ground not being removed. The shop followed the Garmin install instructions, but I...
