Testing our brand new autopilot - Garmin GFC-500 while flying over flooded Maitland in NSW Australia

After the recent avionics upgrade, we decided to test our brand new autopilot, Garmin GFC 500 in our PA28-181 Archer II. A fairly non eventful flight with lots of opportunities to test various functions of the brand new system. The autopilot worked perfectly and flying over flooded Maitland was incredible. 0:00 Engine Start 0:15 Keep your elbows to yourself! 1:00 Taxi to run-up area 1:50 Configuring GFC 500 for climb 2:20 Safety Speech 3:40 Take off from runway 35 4:30 Turning on Autopilot 5:30 GFC 500 levelling and holding altitude 5:50 Changing the heading with heading bug 6:30 Maitland Floods 8:00 If you learn how to do this, you can fly in emergency 8:35 Testing Direct-to Cessnock approach 10:14 Flipping the tanks 11:00 Climbing to 3000 ft with autopilot 11:29 Something is beeping! 11:55 Levelling at 3000 ft 12:40 Will the autopilot make me lazy? 13:10 GFC 500 is quite logical 13:48 Direct to Cessnock with autopilot 14:30 10 mile inbound call - I called wrong altitude! 15:34 Joining downwind for runway 35 15:55 Turning base for runway 35 16:25 On final and landing on runway 35 Please see some of our other videos: Avionincs Upgrade    • Flying for avionics upgrade to Bathurst. I...   First flight with new avionics    • Flight from Bathurst after avionics upgrad...   We Lost the Railway:    • Flight for lunch at Port Macquarie, a beau...   Port macquarie flight back:    • Flight back from Port Macquarie with most ...   Merimbula to Fliders:    • From Merimbula to Flinders island. Flight ...   #Flying #Aviation #Pilot #Adventure #pa28 #piper #garmin #autopilot
