Observed True Air Speed - What speeds are you seeing?

Interesting - will check the G5 HSI Setup page next time while in cruise to see what options look like. Our Garmin dealer says he'll check the install manual and advise as well.

That sound's good Scott! Thank you!

Still waiting for reply on this. Pinged Garmin shop again today.

Shop is asking is there a magnetometer, GMU, a GAD13 and OAT probe? Also needs a GPS connection to the G5 to receive wind direction info.

What software version is installed?

What software version is installed?

The two G5's have at least software version 8. I checked my aircraft log entries and both were upgraded in October 2022.
The aircraft is in annual inspection now. So, without being able myself to turn on the G5's to verify the current S/W version I can ask the shop.

Our G5's have shown HW/XW since 2021 installation. Logs indicate our G5 software was updated 7/11/2024 to version 8.26 IAW SB 23047A

Advised Garmin shop about your version 8 and waiting for their reply. Late Friday PM here so not expecting a reply til next week.

‘81 R182 with Air Plains 260 and flap gap seals.
Depending on temps, 158-160kt TAS in the 8000’ cruise range.
Rigging was done at Tennessee Aircraft in ‘23 but had minimal effect on TAS, as in rigging was pretty close but is now spot on.
