I'd love for the plane I fly to use G100UL, which is unleaded aviation gas, but it's just not feasible. Unleaded aviation gas is truly wonderful – it extends engine lifespan and reduces the frequency of oil changes. Sadly, after t

Autopilot (plane) in cruise is much different than using it in the terminal environment. My perception in sense of safety and workload reduction is about the same for aviation vs automative. I’m a instrument rated pilot that mostly flys for
