Navigational Capabilities

The Trio Pro Pilot provides excellent horizontal navigation capabilities and the vertical navigation provides altitude control, climb/descent functions with airspeed limiting, and altitude pre-select.  Climb/descent on airspeed is also included.

Gold Standard Autopilot Servos

The Pro Pilot uses Trio's proven "intelligent" Gold Standard servos to assure safe and reliable control actuation.

Ease of Operation

While the Pro Pilot incorporates many features, it is very simple to operate. Just press the H NAV button and it will track your flight plan.  Press the V NAV button and it will hold your current altitude. It will also fly GPS-driven flight plans and approaches including a GPS vertical flight path with IFR-approved GPS.

Mounting Options

The Pro Pilot is available in two models - instrument mount and rack mount.  Both models feature backlit nomenclature and bright LED indicators.

GPSS (GPS Steering):

If your Piper GPS receiver or EFIS system provides GPSS commands, usually via an ARINC 429 data output the Trio autopilot can follow your entire flight plan including turns to new headings.  In this case, the Pro Pilot will no longer rely upon its own navigation functions but will follow the roll commands coming from the GPS or EFIS for guidance.

Add GPSV (GPS Vertical Steering) IFR Approach Capability to your Cessna 172 with a Trio Autopilot.

With WAAS approaches in widespread use, it is now possible to do precision approaches in your Cessna172 using approved GPS systems.  The GPSV option allows the Pro Pilot to follow the pitch steering commands that are provided by your IFR-approved panel-mounted WAAS GPS receiver or EFIS system for the descent into an airport.

The GPSV feature also allows the autopilot to follow the vertical bug on a compatible EFIS system that may be installed on your Cessna 172 series.
