The idea is to let the autopilot components literally handle the airplane independently from the EFIS or other instruments.
You have your instruments here, and your autopilot there, and perhaps the only thing they have in common is a shared power bus and data lines providing course guidance or commands. Even as Experimental Georges evolved to become more capable, they retained a tried-and-true modular approach. There is an interesting philosophical divide in autopilot design. Blue Mountain Avionics and Navaid Devices have left the building, and because the demand for certified autopilots from Century and S-Tec can be rounded down to zero (so we will omit coverage this month), its easier to concentrate on the power players. In 2010, the autopilot business where homebuilders is concerned is as vital as ever, despite some defections. Will it track a GPS navigation with GPSS (GPS Steering)? Not on your life!Įnough picking on the certified guys. To put in even a rudimentary rate-based, two-axis autopilot costs nearly $15,000. Its not so much on the job as helping with weight and balance. He wants a new autopilot because his Creaky IV was installed when men wore plaid pants and ties big enough to be a lobster bib. Compare autopilot capabilities for your Experimental/Amateur-Built aircraft with whats available for the guy down the hangar row and his Wunderbar 200.
