Pros
Is a good overiew and introduction to basic autopilot use.
Cons
I found the DVD not to be as advertised, namely as a teaching tool for use of my autopilot. My autopilot and configuration in my aircraft was covered, but only the most basic autopilot functions were discussed. It is really more of a sales pitch for the benefit of autopilot installation and use, not a teaching tool. Those functions that I was most interested in learning (backcourse approaches, control wheel steering, etc.) weren't even mentioned.
General Comments
I believe that this DVD is misrepresented. It is clearly not a training tool
