G3X Autopilot
Now, its easy to add full autopilot capability to your Garmin G3X system.
All it takes is the addition of Garmins affordable GSA 28 smartservos to
give your G3X a range of autopilot capabilities similar to those provided by
the high-end GFC 700 systems found on thousands of certified aircraft.
You have the option of purchasing a one-, two- or three-axis configuration
(roll servo only, or pitch+roll, or pitch+roll+yaw), to add the level of
capability you want. Even better, the Garmin system includes automatic
trim functionality and automatic speed scheduling at no additional cost.
And for added redundancy, its the only integrated autopilot in its class
to offer standalone operation in the event of display outage, when the
optional GMC 305 or GMC 307 control panels are installed. These panels
provide a dedicated interface unit offering access to such advanced
autopilot modes as indicated airspeed hold, independent flight director,
and more. (Note: G3X Touch offers access to these advanced functions
directly from the 10.6 or 7 touchscreen displays; however, only basic
autopilot functions can be accessed from the original G3X 7 softkey
displays. The separate selector panels will integrate with both Garmin
display formats.) A control wheel integrated into the panels allow easier
pitch, vertical speed and airspeed adjustments, and the GMC 307 adds a
dedicated knob for altitude and heading selection. Plus, for added safety,
the panels advanced LVL mode button commands the autopilot to help
restore the aircraft to straight-and-level flight. Installation of the system is
simple and straightforward, with industry- standard servo mounting kits
available as well as airframe-specific versions for the popular Vans RV
series (RV-4/6/7/8/9/10 models).
With installation of the G3X autopilot, youll also obtain Garmin ESP-X to provide
assistance in maintaining the aircraft in stable flight. When you exceed user-selected
pitch, roll or airspeed limitations while hand-flying the aircraft, ESP-X provides gentle
nudges on the flight controls to lessen the aircrafts pitch attitude or bank angle
and that correcting force grows stronger as those exceedances increase. In addition,
youll see visual cues on the displays of G3X and G3X Touch indicating that ESP-X is
engaged: Yellow chevrons provide visual pitch guidance, and configurable roll-limit
indicators show where ESP-X engages to provide bank guidance. As you take corrective
action, ESP-X fades, and it turns off when you return to a normal flight envelope.
Conversely, if the system activates for more than fifteen secondsfor example, if you
become incapacitatedthe autopilot engages with the flight director in Level Mode,
bringing the aircraft to level flight until you command otherwise. While ESP-X will not
recover an aircraft in all in-flight situations, the system does provide your experimental
and light sport aircraft an extra safeguard.
But ESP-X goes beyond providing pitch and bank envelope protection to also offer
high- and low-airspeed protection. In a high-airspeed situation, ESP-X engages the
G3X autopilot servos to increase your pitch attitude, while built-in parameters further
prevent the aircraft from exceeding G-limit load factors. In low airspeed situations,
ESP-X engages to provide a gentle pitch-down force to reduce the likelihood of a
stalland ESP-X automatically disables when the aircraft is operating within 200 feet
of the ground. In addition, pitch, roll and airspeed envelope protection parameters are
all customizable, and for flight training or aerobatics, you can easily inhibit Garmin ESP-X
within the automatic flight control system menu of G3X and G3X Touch, or with an
optional switch in the panel.
