Congratulations to Brent Bowden for earning his Commercial Pilot Certificate! And congratulations to his LFA Flight Instructor Erin Freeman for helping Brent achieve this aviation milestone for him.

Having an autopilot in your aircraft has several advantages. However, if not fully understood by the pilot operating the aircraft, the autopilot can very quickly put the aircraft in an uncontrolled situation, and when this happens, the results can be tragic.

In this video LFA Flight Instructor Mark Donovan shows, using a Redbird Simulator, how by forgetting to increase the power back to a cruise power setting, after descending with reduced power, the autopilot puts the aircraft into a stalled condition, and how it becomes very difficult to recover and control.
