Autopilot and GPSS

Course Description

The amazing combination of WAAS and GPSS makes automated flight smooth and easy. But the interface between these systems and autopilots—especially legacy autopilots—is not always intuitive. Kevin Crozier is a BPPP instructor, FAA Designated Engineering Representative (DER). In this program Kevin will address considerations for flying with autopilots and GPSS, including:

• A review of legacy autopilots, their components and operation.
• Introduction to GPSS roll steering and how it works.
• How to use GPSS roll steering in all phases of flight.
