How does autopilot work on a Cessna 172?
The ticker should be locked towards the top near the “G” and as you approach the airport it will lower down the bar. Once it reaches the middle, the plane should lock on and the system will glide you down.
How many feet do you need to level the G1000?
The G1000 will ask if you want feet in msl or agl. Choose 1,000 AGL if you don’t know pattern altitude, and the G1000 will level you at 1,000 feet above the airport.
