AF-5000 Series Video

Well Known Member
We have just released the software for the AF-5000 series to fully control the AF-Pilot autopilot. The EFIS will now display the current AP status and need for trim. The EFIS also gives you the ability to not only turn on the Autopilot but also turn it off, all from the EFIS.

Here is some video that I took on the way home from Idaho yesterday after visiting Kitfox Aircraft. The new geo-referenced IFR charts and Flight Guide airport diagrams are awesome; I can?t imagine not having them.

We are working on the new Autopilot control for the AF-4500. Here are some pictures from the flight yesterday.

cool!

hoping that some of the features will still trickle down to the 3400s/3500s/4500... especially the new flight mode annunciator ;-)

but in any case, great progress and nice on the eye!
that's where you always were and keep being good at!

The flight mode display and Autopilot control will be available in the AF-3400s, AF-3500s and AF-4500s

Great job, really slick.
Just wondering, is there a cost/subscription for the maps (IFR, sectional or approach plates) and is it all thru AFS or third party.
 
$50 for a single update, includes all (IFR , VFR Sectional, Approach plates)

$400 per year
