Well I did a 60 mile jump for lunch and all seems well! Looks like Garmin made the correct call and replaced the GMC507 and my avionics shop rebalanced the plane and did a new setup on the G5! Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions, Greatly appreciated!

First flight with the new GMC507 and all went well! I will fly a short CrossCountry on Thursday and will report back again! SO FARE SO GOOD!

Well all, today Garmin called and told me they are contacting my avionics shop and sending them a new GFC 500 AP head and ask them to essentially do a new setup on the plane! Waiting for the appointment to get this done and I will let everyone know how it turns out!

After 3 separate flights and data logging on my G5, yes it will keep a log, I sent all the data to Garmin Support! They are off tomorrow for the 4th and most likely will not speed to them until Monday. I will keep this blog posted !!

Well so much for that idea, flew today and before we could test again I had many AP abnormal disconnects and AP fail messages as well as Ptrim notice! Garmin finally called me and now I am going to go back up with my G5 data logging enabled so I can send them the Log file and they can diagnose...

To All, Today I flew and had all the above problems replicated, however when I tried the alternate static port, things got a lot better and it didn't bank over 20 degrees and never overshot any desired course in the Nav mode! We also flew an RNAV approach and it brought us right down to the...

Does anyone have contact information for Trek Lawler at Garmin???

The problem is that the Avionics are still under warranty and I am trying to get Garmin involved with the shop to get this resolved. They are a Garmin dealer

I have given them many chances to fix these issues and they are scratching there heads. I don't know if I mentioned this but prior to purchasing the plane, during a pre purchase flight the G5 was tell me that the autopilot was inop due to the servos. When I inquired about it the Avionics shop...

Altitude hold is one of my problems, In smooth air that plane oscillates +/- 200’. It is in a constant up and down motion.

Video is now public! This is the first time I have posted to YouTube!

Here is a video of the bank and turning issues! https://youtu.be/OuHZXOFRjL8

Thanks for the pictures, I have not accessed my set up screens nor do I know how. Since I am not a AP mech, I would be nervous changing any of these settings, it is my understanding that each setup is based on the plane make and model as well as the installed equipment onboard! As to your video...

Ok thanks! I will be looking forward to seeing the photos

Ok, thanks! I am new to blogs and didn’t understand what Wanafly was saying! I am in need of some good advice as I have this new plane with an all new panel and the Autopilot is not performing up to what I believe is a standard ! I will answer all the questions anyone asks of me and will stay on...

I have not left!

I must be dense as I still don’t understand the statement “ If OP comes back, I am willing to take pictures of the GFC config on the G5 and post” If I am the OP, where am I coming back from???

I am still not sure what you are saying? What does a poster have to do with the Garmin GFC500?

I don’t understand, what is OP??
