While two other autopilot manufacturers—TruTrak and Trio—have been racing to earn STC for their experimental autopilots before AirVenture, Garmin introduces not one but two new systems of its own. The $6995 GFC500 is aimed at basic aircraft while the GFC600 caters to high-performance singles, twins and turboprops. Both systems are loaded with functions that trickle down from Garmin’s integrated GFC700.
