When someone says, or writes, the term "auto pilot" I have no problem understanding what this system does in a general sense. What I dont understand are the finer points of modern systems and what constitutes an AP system. I think I'm looking for Autopilots for Dummies, to borrow a phrase. Is there a good source of information that describes things like:
- Are there different types of AP?
- What components make up an AP system?
- What common options are there in AP systems?
- Pitfalls of AP ownership?
- What makes your plane a good or poor candidate for AP?
- How do I determine my needs for an AP?
