Pilot’s Guide to Modern Auto Pilots
An autopilot can be a major safety enhancement, but only if you know how to use it properly. In Pilot’s Guide to Modern Autopilots, Sporty’s takes you beyond the button pushing to give you the confidence to make the autopilot a part of your regular flying.
Features:
• See the Garmin GFC-700 in a Cessna 182 and the S-Tec 55X in a Cirrus SR-22
• Learn the important preflight and run-up procedures you should do on every flight
• Find out how these autopilots can fly perfect instrument approaches, SIDs and STARs—completely automatically
• Take a “behind the scenes” look at how each autopilot functions
• Understand the key differences between rate-based and attitude-based autopilots
Packed with real world footage, both VFR and IFR, this comprehensive video is a must-have addition to your avionics training.
WAAS Approaches
Most pilots know that GPS-WAAS approaches are the future of instrument approaches—but do you really understand how to fly them properly? These two programs give you the knowledge needed to fly the new WAAS approaches with confidence, with detailed coverage of both the Garmin G1000 and the Garmin 430W/530W. You’ll learn the difference between LNAV, LNAV/VNAV, LNAV+V and LPV approaches, and see how you can fly with ILS-like glideslopes. You’ll ride along on three flights to see, step-by-step, how to set up and fly three different GPS approaches (including an LPV). Learn how the units can provide turn-by-turn guidance for flying procedure turns and holding patterns.
