Analog Autopilot Sunsetting

Due to the continued supply chain challenges and current future outlook for component availability, Genesys Aerosystems has taken the decision to discontinue production of certain analog autopilot products starting January 2023.

Genesys has designed and produced older analog autopilots for many years but current supply chain issues and outlooks have required Genesys to reprioritize and focus on key product lines moving forward to best support current and future aircraft fleets. Genesys will continue to support discontinued products in the field but will not produce any new discontinued analog autopilots starting in 2023.

The specific products being discontinued are as follows:
