Modern autopilots can do far more than most pilots realize. By flying the airplane, they free you up to fly the plan. But they can also create confusion at exactly the wrong moment. When the checkout is inadequate, they can paradoxically add workload and lure you into complacency. In this presentation, Ryan Koch takes you beyond the buttons to explore essential habits for staying ahead of today’s autopilots, getting more from them, and recognizing when they aren’t doing what you intended. - To view further details and registration information for this webinar, click here.

As pilots, we know that when we exceed a wing’s critical angle of attack, the wing will stall and lose lift . Likewise, a pilot’s mind has a cognitive load threshold which, once exceeded, will result in degradation of the pilot’s performance. In some cases, performance degradation caused by cognitive overload can be severe enough to result in a pilot’s loss of control of their aircraft.
We will explore cognitive overload, it's causes and how to reduce our likelihood of encountering it. Learn how to manage cognitive load while staying in control of your aircraft at all times! - Aviation safety will be discussed, and is central to the content of this presentation. - Many of our sessions are recorded and can be viewed on our YouTube channel Saturday Morning Coffee and WINGS.
