Trio introduces GX PRO autopilot

By Janice Wood · May 12, 2011 ·

Trio has introduced the GX PRO, which has all of the features of the standard Pro Pilot autopilot with the additional capability of bi-directional communications with the Garmin G3X EFIS system.

The GX PRO flight dynamics have been optimized to take full advantage of the G3X pitch and roll guidance, according to company officials.

When matched with a Garmin G3X, the GX PRO does not require the Pro Pilot ARINC 429 circuitry normally needed to interface with other EFIS systems, officials explained, adding this results in a significant cost savings, yet adds full horizontal (GPSS) and vertical (GPSV) control via serial commands from the G3X.
