Garmin Adds GFC™ 500 Aircraft Approvals

Now Available for Cessna 177B, 177RG, and F177RG and for Piper PA-28RT-201 and -201T

Garmin is pleased to announce it has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and therefore also an EASA, Supplemental Type Certification (STC) for the GFC 500 autopilot in the Cessna 177B, 177RG, F177RG and Piper Arrow IV (PA-28RT-201) and Turbo Arrow IV (PA- 28RT- 201T) series aircraft.

EASA validation is expected shortly, a SB will be released once available.

Intended for qualifying piston singleengine aircraft weighing less than 6,000 lbs., the GFC 500 delivers superior in-flight characteristics, selfmonitoring capabilities, and minimal maintenance needs when compared to older-generation autopilot systems.
