Flight Simulator 2020 - Autopilot tutorial - Cessna 172 classic

Welcome to Alpha Hotel Flight Simulator Training.

In this video, we cover the operation of the autopilot in the Cessna 172 Classic/Steam gauge panel.

Though the 172 classic is the only aircraft that has this panel, many of the functions carry over to the G1000 and other autopilots in the light aircraft and turboprops in the game - and a fundamental understanding of cockpit automation will help with transition to larger aircraft as well.
