GFC 700 Limitations?

Blackhawk · January 12th, 2007, 11:43

I have a customer with a brand new DA-40XL. Trying to find limitations on the GFC700 autopilot, but not having luck with the Garmin manuals. I am probably missing some thing. Any one have ideas?

Usually the only thing you will find is the minimum altitude to engage the autopilot or yaw damper and the minimum altitude to turn if off on an ILS. You should also probably find a statement about maximum altitude loss if it malfunctions.

That's what I am looking for, as well as minimum/maximum airspeed. Normally there is an enroute altitude limitation as well as an approach limitation. Looked through the supplements on the Garmin and Diamond sites, but no luck.
