Stefanie, I was just talking with our Garmin rep about the GFC 500 for the Seneca. We also have a Seneca II at Gulf Coast Avionics and want to upgrade our demo airplane with the GFC 500. It sounds like the Seneca is pretty high on the list of airplane for approval. Hopefully we will be seeing an STC later this year or early next year. Feel free to give me a call to discuss it further.

We contacted Garmin to find out how long it would be before we could get a Garmin GFC 500 Autopilot installed in our Seneca. They said it depends on demand and how many potential customers request it. To that end we have submitted the form in the first link below to encourage Garmin to do the certification work enabling it’s use in the Seneca. If other Seneca owners do the same, it will hopefully speed the process along.
Here is a link for those interested in getting it in the PA-34:
