A long one, tightly packed with IFR goodness from Dennis my mentor CFI!

In this episode, Dennis Simo (mentor CFI to Flight Chops) walks us through the avionics panel and ins and outs of autopilot in a once-neglected but now state-of-the-art Cessna 182. Fascinating and packed with informative detail – watch in real time as Dennis teaches how a higher level of automation changes everything in IFR flying. 

If you’d like to talk to Dennis Simo about some “outside the box” training” – contact him here: cfi@spectrumairways.com

And for more details on the avionics shop that did a great job on that panel, check out MISix.(again, this is not a paid promotion, Dennis was legit happy with the work and asked me to share)

Having an aerial view to witness how fast a wild fire can grow, was humbling.
