Dr. Bill Tuccio, ATP
Brief Description:

Using the Garmin G1000 GFC700, you will learn the system and practical use considerations. The ground school will lay the foundation for flight training. We will supply you a training lesson plan you can use with your instructor.

An autopilot is not an "easy" button. With focused training, you can quickly turn it into the workload reducer it is designed to be.
