Sixteen (16) passenger plus crew jump seat, fireblocked interior featuring 3 distinct seating areas. Their repair shop is separate from the avionics installation department which has a waiting list longer than for a car in communist times.Partially Refurbished August 2004 & January 2012 Speak to Martin Scheifl in advance, usually they help pop-in customers with such stuff. Otherwise combine it with your upcoming trip to Salzburg, that is not far. You might be able to determine yourself which component is at fault (AP “computer”), servo, connection and then send out the unit. This old stuff is just discrete electronics with virtually unlimited opportunity for repair. is approved is pretty irrelevant, what’s important is that the box works and nobody will ask any questions anyway.

The key is that a shop needs to have equipment for bench testing, the manual with test procedures and schematics and expansion cables to run the AP in flight on the lap with access to its analog adjustment screws. The best equipped shop in Europe is probably Avionik Straubing “near” Munich.
Surely an avionics shop, provided with the installation manuals, should be able to have an unofficial poke-around on an hourly rate? Mind you, right now they are all busy 24/7 doing 8.33 stuff.
I doubt Autopilots Central have gone out of business but you don’t really want to fly to the USA for debugging. Lack of email response is standard in GA. It may well have been a functional copy of the IV. Autopilots Central would be a good source of information to find out what level of support exists today for an FCS-810. A price list from 1977 for the 58TC Baron shows the base FCS-810 system at $9435, a bit less than the Century IV at $11,200. The Century seemed to have the edge in popularity and is still reasonably well supported. Both the FCS-810 and Century IV use older analog technology and get their roll and pitch data from the horizon gyro. A flight director and HSI were both optional upgrades. It is a two axis autopilot with VOR/ILS coupling, similar in features to the Century IV autopilot that Beech also offered during that period of time. I found this The FCS-810 was a Bendix product and was offered by Beech as a factory installed autopilot in Bonanzas and Barons in the ’70s. Running now…ĭirkj – I am not sure it is the same, from googling around. However I have an amazing tool, extremely kindly written by another pilot here, which does a google search for a specified string and downloads any PDFs it finds.

I don’t have any manuals (apart from the POH) in my 30GB collection, except the overall wiring diagram I have added “Century 3C” etc to the thread title.

The certification system keeps the situation ticking along very nicely… If you are EASA-reg you cannot install anything “used” even if it was your own from new and you had it repaired, unless it comes with an EASA-1 or a dual release 8130-3, which keeps a very small number of “good” shops in business and some of the best known ones accordingly behave with great arrogance and, again from reports I have, with a great deal of incompetence, but “everybody” still thinks they are wonderful and reputable. Most avionics installers are purely wiremen, working from the circuit diagrams in the installation manuals and phoning Garmin on their special dealer support number if they get stuck, with no capability for debugging at the interconnection level. There are a few good people in the business but by and large it is a case of: in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King. This thread, together with countless emails I have from owners, illustrates the dire situation we have in Europe.
