February 23, 20188 yr Although I had installed the integrated GTN into the Fokker 50 panel, I thought I would try the default 'Universal' FMS to assess its level of functionality and to see if Carenado had improved on that element of their systems design. I found however that I was unable to make the AP follow a flight plan while the GTN was installed but when I uninstalled the GTN from the panel, the AP linked satisfactorily to the FMS and followed the flight plan. Given the somewhat limited functionality of the default FMS, I will probably use the GTN as my primary navigation device anyway, but I wondered if anyone else had noticed that the default FMS will not work while the GTN is installed?

February 25, 20188 yr Author I guess most people who have the GTN installed are, like me, not using the FMS! Bill
February 25, 20188 yr ...looks like ;) I did some tests but only very rudimentary. The FMS was following the flightplan entered but a a few miles way off the magenta line. Without GTN it was fine as you describe. I'm a bit puzzled about this one. Sure the GTN is for me one of the best, too. But it doesn't feel right in a F50 if you know what I mean. Its not an aircraft you would expect to find a GTN in... ;) Cheers T.
