Features once reserved for large commercial jets are now common even in training aircraft. Yet, many pilots struggle with using automation correctly—often applying it inefficiently or at inappropriate times.
Join San Carlos Flight Center for an insightful seminar with Corporate Pilot Brandan Dadoun, who will guide you on how to use automation both safely and effectively. Through real-world case studies and personal experience, Brandan will emphasize the critical role of understanding aircraft automation. Topics include different levels of automation, strategies to avoid over-reliance, and mastering single-pilot resource management.
If you’ve ever asked yourself:

“Why is the autopilot behaving this way?”
-
“Is now the right time to engage automation?”

Or felt uncertain about how to start using automation confidently,

12. Understanding Propellers and Tachometer Systems - Insights into Propellers and Engine RPM Monitoring - Saturday, July 12, 2025, starting at 10:00 Pacific Daylight Time Download Calendar File - Speaker(s): William Hill - Brief Description: What is a Propeller? A propeller is a type of fan that transforms rotary motion into thrust. It is commonly used in various vehicles, including:
- Aeronautical applications (aircraft)
- Aquatic applications (boats and submarines)
- Propellers work by generating lift through differential air or water pressure. When a propeller spins, the shape and angle of its blades create high-pressure zones on one side and low-pressure zones on the other, thus propelling the vehicle forward.
- A tachometer is an instrument measuring the rotation speed of a shaft or disk, as in a motor or other machine. The device usually displays the revolutions per minute on a calibrated analogue dial, but digital displays are increasingly common
So................. - lets find out how to use them and how accurate are they? - Location of Seminar: EAA Chapter 157 HQ - 2955 South Street - Redding, CA 96001 - Flying In: After landing, proceed to the northwest corner of the airport, when you see the Sun Shade Open hangars, proceed WEST on the tarmac and park anywhere near the west edge.

Sometimes we argue it out - respectfully - and modify our plan of attack. The benefit is to think it through without the pressure of flying the plane. Pilots of all skill levels are encouraged to attend. Click the link below for more information and to register.
