Certified and experimental autopilot systems from TruTrak and Honeywell/BendixKing integrate with major EFIS brands including Garmin, Dynon, and Aspen and are compatible with displays like the Garmin G3X Touch series. These systems support envelope protection, one-button “LVL” mode recovery, and fully coupled GPS approaches. Kits include all necessary servos, mounting brackets, and intuitive control heads designed to fit standard radio stacks.
Compatibility depends on the unit. In many cases, a basic analog NAV/COM does not have the needed output information required for communication. Verify compatibility in the installation manual.
Certified aircraft require STC‑approved systems. Experimental units are limited to E‑AB builds.
The time required for an aircraft servo installation varies significantly depending on the complexity of the job, the type of aircraft, and whether it's a replacement or new system.
Autopilot systems require annual torque checks, servo clutch slip testing, and software updates when released by the manufacturer.
