The blue button on the Garmin autopilot I call the angel button. It has saved me times when I got behind the airplane. The most important time was when I had smoke in the cockpit I could not see anything but that Bright Blue button I could see and saved us till we could get smoke hoods on and land. I wish all autopilot manufacturers would have a wing’s level and altitude hold button that was easy to see in low light or no light conditions

I really enjoyed your video! This is the 1st I've seen! I'm a subscriber now! I really enjoyed your explanation on how to use the garmin autopilot! I'm only a sim pilot and often use the Garmin GTN750, But, I've found that after I have set up my flight plan then take off, if I hit the autopilot it sometimes acts like it wants to kill me by going into a big turn and maybe a dive when I'm too low! So I'll try it your way! I realize this is about real life piloting, and I love watching! So many more young people getting into aviation is incredible!!! Keep up the great content! Wanted to add that was quite an approach they put you and all the other planes into holding patterns and 360's for everyone it seemed like!

You both were great though. If I were Keven, Mindy would always be required on board! ALWAYS.
