The tech has never been better, and if you haven’t shopped the autopilot market in a while you’ll be surprised at what comes standard.Īside from pitch, roll, heading command and envelope protection, today’s systems fly with more precision because they get their signals from solid-state sensors rather than from spinning vacuum-driven gyros. If you’re searching the market for a used aircraft it’s almost always better to find a model that‘s already been upgraded with a modern autopilot as long as it has the modern features you want.

This means you absolutely need to select a shop that knows how to work with control cables and has the capability to rig them per the aircraft maintenance manual. WHY UPGRADE?

We’ve had some requests for an autopilot planning article, so if you’ve been thinking of pulling the trigger on an upgrade this report is for you. Unfortunately that doesn’t always happen and it’s a setup for serious aggravation. You might tame the dragon with careful pre-installation planning, which includes buying the right system and selecting a competent shop to put it in. Shops tell us the Garmin GFC 500 autopilot, has become a top seller mainly because it's compatible with a wide variety of Garmin retrofit displays and has a lengthy AML-STC approvalĪn autopilot can be the most complex, costly and frustrating retrofit you can make to an aging aircraft.
