After 10.2 update on our boxes (540/440), I can no longer get the G/S to arm on our KFC225 for GPS LPV approaches. I get the "Arm A/P Glide Slope" soft key alert, but when placed in APR mode on the A/P no GS shows up. The GPS is outputting the G/S info to the PFD -the HSI on the G500 is showing both lateral and vertical guidance. However, no Flight Director pitch guidance and no coupled approach.

The good folks at Avidyne are working the problem, but I figured I would ask the community here whether anyone else with the G500/KFC225 combo (or any KFC225) has experienced any issues with the G/S post the software update.

ILS G/S works fine...

Thanks
