  1. Received this notice this morning from FAA/Garmin. For those folks with G3X Touch planes (F2, others?) and a Garmin autopilot, this is pretty serious. The software patch is available via links to Garmin. It was easy to install with an SD card. Ken ___________________________________________________________________________ Notice Number: NOTC2741 Garmin has identified an issue with GFC 500 autopilots with optional auto trim installed in certified, experimental and Light-Sport Aircraft, including certified installations installed with optional GSA 28 pitch trim in accordance with Garmin STC SA01866W. This issue may result in an uncommanded automatic trim runaway when the autopilot is first engaged. This condition could result in a sudden and significant deviation from the intended flight path. Garmin Service Alert 22109 Revision A requires operators of certified installations to pull and collar the autopilot circuit breaker and placard the autopilot as “inoperative” prior to further flight. Operators may contact a Garmin dealer regarding reactivation of the GFC 500 autopilot with the optional pitch trim configured off in accordance with recommended service bulletin 22110 Revision A. Garmin is working to fix this issue for certified installations in a future software update expected in Q4 2022. Garmin Service Bulletin 22112 Revision A requires operators of Experimental and Light-Sport Aircraft to update system software or disable the autopilot or trim control prior to further flight. Service Alert 22109 Rev A is available at: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/aviation/faq/mZwVwMogJ09ZLIPJgWTBJA The recommended Service Bulletin 22110 Rev A is available at: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/aviation/faq/s7SeFk9oh96I8qVfjtNbV8 For non-certified aircraft, Service Bulletin 22112 Rev A is available at: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/aviation/faq/QFnVz92cFZ5AvovG4LF6l5 If you have any questions or comments, contact the Wichita ACO Branch at: Phil Petty 1801 Airport Rd. Wichita, KS 67209 (316) 946-4139
  2. This is just some info on a Garmin autopilot. I just installed dual Garmin G3X touch screen EFIS systems in my SW and it has been great. All G3X systems contain a very sophisticated autopilot which can be operated within the EFIS or with a separate analog stand alone analog unit. My CT had a Trutrak autopilot however could not be integrated with the G3X. I had been thinking of installing the garmin servos for some time to take advantage of a much better autopilot. I discussed this with Garmin and they said that the servos would not work in the CT. Prior to talking to Garmin I had extensively researched the drawings and torque forces of the servos and was sure they were wrong. I purchased the servos and panel control unit and was able to easily install them in the original brackets, everything fit perfectly and with the Can Buss data system only 5 wires per servo . The roll servo does not need a torque enhancer due to the servos having 60 in lbs of torque as opposed to 30 for Trutrak. Also the Garmin servos have 0 force resistance when not in use which makes the flight controls lighter. The flight tests went very well and the autopilot has functions only found in very expensive high performance aircraft. According to Flight Design I have the only CT to have this system. I am posting this to inform others that this is another option for at least ELSA.
  3. As a new plane CT owner, I feel a little hesitant but lets try this. Btw this is a repost of what I originally thought was an HS34 problem ... turns out it may not. So here is the situation, I get a 'COM FAILURE' on my Garmin SL30 but only when connected to the HS34. Saw this post http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=82204 which lends me to believe there is a problem with the serial connection from the SL30 to the HS34. To me, taking the HS34 seems like a really bad answer because I loose tons of functionality. So here are my questions ... Anybody else has seen this error on their SL30? Shall I really just try to re-seat the SL30? From which side do you get behind the center panel, take out the EFIS or EMS? Thanks for your help to these newbie questions, Robert aka TheFrisco
  4. Selling a Garmin SL40 out of my CSTW 2007. Had to remove it due to european EASA 8,33 kHz channel spacing requirements. It is in perfect working condition, has approx. 800 hrs. Mounting frame is included. Price USD 600,- shipping included.

    Nice day out, just going for a joy ride... Turning base for landing on runway 22 at Catalina Island.
