Guys I?d love to see the autopilot but there is the little issue called an STC. It takes quite a bit of work, money, time, and wear and tear on test planes. I went through it with Meggitt and Stec and, frankly, still never got smoothness of the original Collins analog technology despite repeated trips to Mineral Wells for programming modifications. It was extremely frustrating. But at least it was expensive! A new AP would require separate tests for each model configuration. And don?t get me wrong, the 2100 has some cool things to offer. My point is, a new AP certification is a huge project. I?m not sure if there?s any new technology that can shortcut the STC program.
But of course it would be nice. If we had an order for about 25 of them upfront, we might get some traction. Group buy? Who?s in?!
No prist needed and it doesn?t kill algae either so no sense paying for it.
