Garmin recently energized the aftermarket autopilot market with the introduction of the GFC 500 for single-engine piston aircraft and the GFC 600 for high performance singles and twins as well as light jets. The unique design of the solid-state autopilots deliver superior in-flight characteristics, self-monitoring capabilities and minimal maintenance needs.
Boasting a robust feature set, the autopilots incorporate a number of safety-enhancing technologies, including Electronic Stability and Protection, underspeed protection, Level Mode, Flight Director and more. Built upon the acclaimed performance of the popular GFC 700 autopilot, the GFC 600 and GFC 500 provide pilots with a suite of advanced autopilot capabilities that are an economical addition for a growing number of aircraft.
