    Smart Glide for A5 pilots with G3X Touch

    Hi All,

    Kevin Strange, ICON's Flight Sciences Manager, put together a short video on activating Smart Glide for A5 pilots with the G3X Touch with autopilot.

    Paul,

    For us earlier serials with G3X that have to activate Smart Glide in the config menu, what best glide and descent rate do you configure the system with?

    Hi Marcus,

    According to our flight sciences team:

    Best glide (VG)= 60. Sink rate should be 600fpm. Verify the glide ratio at VG should be between 9.0 and 9.6. Adjust the sink rate until achieve the glide ratio.
