Garmin GFC 600 Autopilot In Flight Overview & Rudder Bias Demo.

In flight demonstration and overview of all the features of the Garmin GFC 600 Autopilot and a comparison to the Garmin GFC 500 autopilot, includes a Rudder Bias Demo.
I made an error in the video when I said the GI 275 can display the GFC 600 annunciations. This is not correct, I believe Garmin may be adding that capability in the future.
Additionally at 24:34 when I said the GFC 500 cannot fly a VNAV descent to the FAF, this is no longer the case. There was an update to the GFC 500 which added VNAV to the FAF.

Excellent video. I have the exact same setup in my 1973 Baron and have watched your video many times. It has helped me greatly, more than any other training video. Thank you !!

Did you need to install the yaw dumper? I mean, for a baron 58 is mandatory to install an yaw dumper? Do you know that?

Thanks for taking the time to show a real flight and see the PDF and GFC at the same time. It says in the GFC manual it will display when coupled "ALTV". Have not seen that yet. Still trying to figure out how you got the 2 mile final Callout...

@RMAG Жыл бұрын

Honestly I don’t ever recall seeing ALTV. The manual says it is when it Captures the Vertical Path Constraint Altitude. My guess here is, there was a time when the GFC 600 could descend using the VNAV button without lowering the altitude preselect. So you could descend directly to a constraint. This was changed so that you need to have your altitude preselect set lower than your current altitude in order to descend. I always see ALTS because I am always descending to a preselected altitude. Regarding the 2 mile final call out that was a ForeFlight call out, you hear it because I have it connected via Bluetooth to my audio panel.

@@RMAG Thanks for the reply - FYI: got an email from Garmin and they tell me ALTV will display if there is a constraint that has a flying level portion till the next waypoint before descending again.

2001. In 2005 they switched to Garmin G1000 cockpit. I purposely wanted pre-2005 because I think the aftermarket avionics are better.

This is a great help. I have a B55 1972 baron. I have the GFC600 with a G600 pdf. I was told that Vnav and Bias are not approved yet for the Baron but Coming soon. I was wondering how you got it so soon in yours?

@RMAG Жыл бұрын

Because it’s a Baron 58 which is approved.

Hi Rmag. I saw your previous videos that you were able to setup voice command for”show flight timer page” for your GTN750? How did you set up?

@RMAG Жыл бұрын

You need a Garmin GMC 35c audio panel to do that and it is set up by your dealer

With the 'CDI/DVI Preview' option on in the G500TXi, I have seen the DVI hollow grey diamond appear on several approaches. But have yet to notice the equivalent preview for the CDI.... am I missing something, or perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place? Love your videos!

@RMAG Жыл бұрын

If you are flying an RNAV GPS approach the line will always be magenta because you are always on a GPS course. If you fly an ILS and you’re currently on a GPS intercept, the CDI will be gray depicting the localizer before it turns green when you intercept it.

@@kencamp858 Another approach where you will see this is if you are flying a VOR approach. You can fly that whole approach using the GPS magenta needles. The requirement is that you also monitor the VOR during the approach. The VOR will be overlaid on the CDI with ghosted needles for the entire approach.

@rmag just curious…I’m about to do a panel upgrade on my BE58, setup will look a lot like yours, with having the GFC 600, is the rudder bias included with the autopilot or is there extra cost? I’ve looked and looked and haven’t been able to find anything about cost or it being included.

@RMAG Жыл бұрын

You need a G500 TXi, GFC 600 with yaw damper, and a switch to enable or disable rudder bias. The rudder bias is not an extra cost.
