I screwed around for a year with an stec 55x and the afs. Don't waste your time. You will have headaches and be disappointed. Rob will even tell you the stec works with limited functionality and only has had a few partial successes. It's not a sales ploy. Stec tech support tried to help but have almost zero knowledge of afs equipment. Also the interface for operation will be a pain. I ended up putting in the afs pilot and should have from the start. Took about 2 days to install. I had the stec in the plane when I bought it. And tried to make it work with the afs. FAIL. Sent from my iPhone

Folks I am interested in hearing from anyone with experience interfacing an advanced flight systems efis with an Stec autopilot using the st901 GPSS module. I would like to upgrade my panel incrementally and keep the basic autopilot in place. I believe I could still operate coupled approaches with little or no change to my existing wiring but where things get a little fuzzy is around the heading guidance selection from the efis source. The af5000 has an Stec selection for auto pilot type. I am not certain if it is providing the right ARINC tags to the GPSS. Ie ground speed and commanded roll rate. Again I would love to hear from anybody having experience with this arrangement
Thanks
