You may think that numbers  are not that important? In fact they are, we can assure that with a gained experience and more than 10 years as an official Garmin dealer and installation centre in Spain, we deliver the safest and highest quality services to your helicopter.

I want my Autopilot

Let us share with you some details about this autopilot’s performance.

The Garmin GFC™ 600H is a cost-effective Advanced Flight Control System that provides a number of features to enhance safety, stability and control during helicopter operations. On top of that, the GFC™ 600H allows 2-axis and 3-axis configurations. It was specifically designed to reduce the pilot’s workload during flight. As you know, flying a helicopter is a very demanding and often tiring activity. With the Garmin GFC™ 600H, pilots will generally feel less stressed in complicated situations, therefore, all crew will have a safer flight. 

Key features of this Flight Control System include:

  • Autopilot functions: This allows precise navigation and altitude control. Thanks to the GFC™ 600H, the helicopter is able to automatically maintain altitude, heading and airspeed.
  • Stability and safety enhancements
  • Flight director: The flight director aids in flight planning and precision control. It provides guidance cues to the pilot for attaining desired flight paths, altitudes and airspeeds.
  • Compatibility: Garmin GFC™ 600H is compatible with other Garmin avionic products such as the Garmin G500H and Garmin G5000H flight displays. 
  • Hover assist mode: Automatically detects hover and provides inputs to maintain position.

In addition,  as a reference completion centre we offer complete customizations  depending on our customer’s wants and needs, including: painting, cockpit upgrades, mission equipment and cabin interior refurbishment. 

And remember: “You fly, we’ll do the rest, anywhere.”
