Re: G1000 Legacy & NXi upgrade program
As my DA40 has the KAP140 I’m glad to hear about the approaches working well. Thanks for the update!

Re: G1000 Legacy & NXi upgrade program
Do you think the KAP would fly a hold post WAAS upgrade ?
I didn’t try that

I believe it’s related to GDU version rather than to WAAS support.

Re: G1000 Legacy & NXi upgrade program
Will it fly holds with GDU15 when it becomes available for GIA63W and KAP140 equipped DA42TDI, as DAI promised?

Re: G1000 Legacy & NXi upgrade program
My apologies on the previous post, I didn't realize we were talking about a DA42. As the owner of a GIA63W upgraded 2004 DA40 running 321.23 GDU v12.05, I can assure you that it does not fly holds on autopilot. Not sure about future GDU versions.ememic99 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 1:28 pmWill it fly holds with GDU15 when it becomes available for GIA63W and KAP140 equipped DA42TDI, as DAI promised?

Re: G1000 Legacy & NXi upgrade program
I am not sure why WAAS (SBAS) would be required to be able to fly holds. This seems to be a Garmin SW limitation independent of the level of GPS accuracy.

Re: G1000 Legacy & NXi upgrade program
I have always heard that the KAP 140 cannot fly holds. But who cares; the heading bug + timer is good enough!

Re: G1000 Legacy & NXi upgrade program
It won't fly holds with any version of the G1000. If I had to guess, it is because the KAP140 is driven by a separate (hidden) attitude indicator. I couldn't fly them in my older DA40 with a KAP140 with or without WAAS, etc., and can with my Garmin AP DA40.
