Most of us fly a panel we only half understand. Join us October 2-4, 2026 at Stockton (KSCK) for a weekend spent getting fluent with the box in front of you. Friday evening is ground: flight plan entry and editing in flight, activating and re-sequencing an approach, vectors-to-final, the difference between suspending and unsuspending the GPS, and what your autopilot is actually doing in each mode. Bring your own avionics manual and your own questions.
Saturday and Sunday we fly it. You’ll load and shoot approaches with an instructor beside you, hand-fly the same procedure with the autopilot off, then work through the failures nobody practices — autopilot trim runaway, a dropped GPS signal, a flight director that disagrees with you. Sign up early and tell us your departure airport, aircraft type and exact avionics stack, whether you have an autopilot and which one, and one thing about your panel that still makes you nervous.
