      Do they (GI275/G5) slave to/from the G3X Touch or is there a switch to separate and choose if the G3X or GI275 is commanding the GFC500?

    Good informational video. We just got a GFC500 installed and this is a good intro. At 6:08 I would prefer to keep it in HDG mode before turning the AP on. Then after the AP 'settles' I would hit NAV. I don't like the idea of the AP starting turns when I turn it on. Just personal preference I guess.

      @@RMAG Not an official term. I guess typing my thoughts did not come out clear. Is personal preference. Your way is as you know perfectly fine. I like to set the HSI heading bug to the current heading before I turn on the AP. So that when I turn on the AP the aircraft does not immediately starts banking trying to follow the NAV signal/GPS route. Can I skip the HDG steps, sure. I guess for me is a personal procedure. When using AP, I do this: 1) press the HSI heading bug to sync with current heading, 2) turn on AP, 3) press AP HDG button, 4) observe that AP is stable (for me, no banking), wait a few seconds then 5) press NAV to allow the AP to follow my flight plan.

      VNAV has nothing to do with the glide slope. VNAV is a programmed descent to a specific altitude at a specific waypoint, and it is limited on the GFC 500 to the waypoint prior to the Final Approach Fix. To fly a glide slope or glide path you need to have an ILS or RNAV approach loaded and active, and the autopilot in Approach mode.

      In theory it would, but in practice, if I’m flying VFR, by the time I’m turning on the auto pilot I’m usually turning to my on course waypoint. IFR they make assignments in magnetic heading, so even a “fly runway heading” clearance is flying the magnetic heading.

    Good overview. I have my gfc500 interfaced to a g500txi display via the G5, which works well (the G5 mirrors the settings on the G500).
    One hint for new gfc500 drivers: I keep hitting that %^&* Toga button by accident. I used to turn the AP off to stop it from climbing, but I discovered the LVL button is a good way to cancel it, then you reprogram what you were doing before. In fact the LVL button is a good "get out of jail free" button anytime the AP is doing something you don't want, since it goes to the most passive mode (wings level no pitch) while you sort out what went wrong.

    Rmag, 1) why does the 275 drive the gfc 500 and not the TXI? 2)When you make adjustments on the gfc 500- for example change altitude, does the change show up on the TXi (in addition tothe 275's)? Thx

      The GFC 500 requires a G3X, a G5, or a GI 275 to drive it. The TXi is not designed to drive it directly. But yes all of the adjustments made on the GFC 500 shows up up on both the GI 275 and the G500 TXi. In fact if you make adjustments to altitude selections or barometric pressure settings on the TXi it will also show on the GI 275 and vice versa.

      Can you do your flight planing and route selections all on the txi? Then engage autopilot directly from the txi? Or do you have to do all route planing on your gps and engage the autopilot via the gi275 it autopilot controller?

    Enjoyed your video but have a question When you did the go around and hit the Nav button it showed up magenta. Now when I tried the same thing it didn't show up magenta, I have a garmin 530 not a 750 like you is this the difference ? If it is, what do I have to do to get the Nav in the go around.

      I am not that familiar with a 530, but I was on an RNAV approach which is Magenta for the approach and the missed approach. So it will always be magenta. If I was on an ILS when the 750 gets to the MAP it will suspend assuming you are landing. If I do a missed approach, I have to unsuspend the 750, and it will sequence through the missed approach procedure magenta lines.

    Rmag. Hi there. Is there anyway that I can chat with you off line??? I'm a Mooney M20K owner with an avionics issue and I was wondering if I could get some assistance from a Garmin PRO.

    when direct to an IAF in nav mode, can you arm apr mode? Will it sequence then

    Do you have to adjust the throttle for those climbs and descents

      Yes. To not need to is called auto-throttles which are only found on newer adavanced jets etc.

      NAV mode is not missing. You choose NAV mode to follow your NAV source. Your NAV source can either be GPS or VOR/LOC. Selecting the NAV source is a function of your a navigator/radio, not the AP,

      79,540 according to some notes I had. I’d have to check it again to be sure.

      @@RMAG greatly appreciate it if you can double check. I’ve the same setup on my M20J. I’ve been playing round with the K factor to get it close as possible. Thank you
