Ours isn't quite as sophisticated but if you have a shallow enough

none-the-less... Congrats on your IA by the way!! Great job!!

Thanks. I think your autopilot isn't the problem but the GPS.
The 480 is unique in the richness of it's database that allows
it to do all the course reversals and even missed approach
sequencing WITHOUT any button pushing or manual intervention.

But not if the course reversal is a hold right? The G1000 goes into
suspend mode, I seem to rememeber the 430 doing the same. Unless there
is somethign new in the 480. The nice thing about the G1000 and 580 is
that after the reversal, it automatically starts to sequence again, the
430 and 530 would require you to press the "OBS" button to "unsuspend"
sequencing as I recall.
