Pattern Altitude
I have a 2005 T182T with kap 140 and love it. I have flown both. No way the diff. is worth 70k. However, what about the other options esp. WAAS? Do they both have WAAS that is a 18k upgrade on g1000. SVT install just 8k.
I agree the autopilot alone is not worth 70K and I believe you can add a new one to a G1000 for about $30K.
I think you're either nitpicking on the word can or don't understand the conditions an autopilot will induce a stall. Let's assume the latter.Sorry but a plane can stall at any airspeed so last statement not true. The GFC 700 can stall a airplane.
If you want to induce a stall at a reasonable cruise climb speed you have to either induce a very significant G-load or change pitch attitude faster than inertia allows the plane to follow. No autopilot I know of will do either even in common failure modes.
