Gary “GPS” Reeves
Brief Description:

Autopilots should be used more often, not less because they make single-pilot IFR much easier and safer.  Almost every autopilot accident stems from the pilot not having a mastery level of understanding how their autopilot works, the most common errors, and how to react quickly in an emergency.  Come learn from the top expert with 20 years of experience teaching autopilots.
