In this video we will discuss the use of the autopilot and when I believe it is appropriate to switch it off.
There are situations when manual flight is really not advisable, but then there other situations where I would recommend it.
Please note that there is probably no correct or incorrect answer to this question, but I thought it would be an interesting debate to have.
