In flight thorough review and tutorial of the Trutrak PMA Vizion Autopilot for certified aircraft, also known as the BendixKing AeroCruze 100. I show you most of the features of the Trutrak PMA Vizion autopilot (now known as the BendixKing Aeroucruze 100) and how to use them in flight from Los Angeles to Apple Valley, CA in a Piper Cherokee 6. The Trutrak brings a digital autopilot to many models of certified aircraft at a price finally within reach for many aircraft owners.
