Flew an RNAV approach today to mins for practice (RNAV 20 at KPWT).

At mins the AP had flow one dot off course. (left of course).

Avionics on airplane is GFC500, Dual G5’s (8.02 firmware) and IFD 440 (10.3.0.2 firmware).

This is a relatively new installation, and I’ve flown a handful of approaches to mins with the setup, and this is the first time i’ve seen it do this.

Day was not windy, and when i hand flew the next approach i had no issues keeping the guidance centered.

Curious if this is something that others have seen and whether this sort of error would be a navigator fault (IFD) or something else.

I see exactly the same, except I have a G3X and 10.3.1.2.
