Got back to the Avionics shop this week and got my Button installed. Smart Glide.

G5 was replaced under the Garmin battery problem, all software updates done, and everything is fully functional! Had to wait for the final approval on January 7 for the G3X.
There are 4 different ways to activate Smart Glide. Button, G3X menu, 750xi Menu, or holding the Direct to button for 3 seconds.

Called the FAA and asked about testing the Smart Glide and squawking 7700. I know you do not have to use that part of it, but would like to test it in its entirety. We are scheduling a time to do this in or near my home Class Delta. I’ll report back.

Anyone try theirs yet?
