I am trying to select an appropriate autopilot for what I want to do with it. I will be using a G530W and an SL30 Nav/Com as some of my avionics, as well as the new high res GRT EFIS. With these components driving the autopilot is it possible to fly a coupled VOR/ILS/LOC approach using a Digiflight II VGSV or do I need to get one of the higher level autopilots to fly coupled Navaid based approaches? Not sure how to interpret what I see on tru-track's website and I haven't been able to call due to a very busy work schedule so I will defer to the experience and knowledge of the group.

Eric,

    I have the Digiflight II VGSV along with a Garmin 480, SL-30 along with

the GRT Dual EFIS.  The system works great on all types of approaches -

VOR/ILS/GPS.  My opinion is your setup will be the most bang for the buck.



I have the 480 driving the EFIS which then drives the autopilot.  You can

also drive the autopilot directly from the 480 and it was recommended to me

to have a switch to select between the sources which I haven't tried yet.



Marcus
