help with 300a autopilot
Okay I need some help in finding the right instruments to go with my Cessna 300 AP it turns out long before I got my plane the previous owner had to replace some of the instruments and it seems it was all of the ones that connect to the AP. My avionics guy verified that all the plugs were neatly tied back and I have the wrong instruments. My goal is to find the right ones and get the ap working again.
Re: help with 300a autopilot

Thanks

Re: help with 300a autopilot
Hi, if you still looking, you need a G-502A or possibly B directional gyro (unlikely). The b model is slaved. Then you will need a G-300A rate gyro. I got mine from aircraft quality instruments, they were happy taking my old ones as cores. But if you have good 'cores' you may be better selling those. There are other options, like a NSD360 HSI, but that requires some modifications to the autop[ilot computer. I have a Cessna autopilot book if you are interested. Don
Re: help with 300a autopilot
Hi Shaun,
You may not need to replace all of your instruments previously removed. Reading your post indicates to me that when the instruments were removed previously the connectors were capped/bagged and stowed and all new wiring was run to these instruments in question. In some cases, it is possible to re-incorporate the old wiring harness with the new. If the indicators that you have now have outputs to drive an autopilot and your autopilot is looking for the same type of signal on it's input pins, then all you need to do is remove the appropriate wires from your cap and stowed connectors and incorporate them into your functioning wiring harness.
Regards,
Randy Wilson
