Modern autopilots can reduce workload and help you stay ahead of the airplane, but only when you understand what they’re doing—and what they might do next. An incomplete checkout or misunderstanding of the system can add workload when you least need it.

Join PilotWorkshops’ Ryan Koch for Beyond the Buttons: Mastering Your Modern Autopilot, a webinar exploring the habits pilots need to get more from today’s autopilots, stay ahead of changing modes, and recognize when the system isn’t doing what they intended.

Ryan leads the development of PilotWorkshops’ online training courses and pilot-friendly manuals. An active instrument flight instructor and flight simulator expert, he has developed courses including Instrument Rating Accelerator, Private Pilot: The Missing Lessons, Garmin GTN: Next Level, and Advanced IFR.

When: Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 3 p.m. Eastern
