Thanks David, this is what I am looking for.
What make/model autopilot do you have? (single or two-axis?)

Century I ( =Piper, Autoflight II), single axis.

What make/model GPS? (IFR certified? enroute and terminal?)

Skyforce II (VFR only) plus I use my old Flightmate Pro non-map GPS as
backup for the backup (with battery backup!).


The following is specifically for my aircraft and abbreviated.
