New Garmin G1000 course helps pilots become glass proficient before they fly

By General Aviation News Staff · February 17, 2006 ·

Pilots can avoid the pitfalls, confusion and expense of learning the Garmin G1000 in the air by getting ahead on the ground with the new “Cleared for Flying the Garmin G1000” interactive CD-ROM course from King Schools.

The course covers VFR and IFR operations, navigation, communications, loading and activating instrument approaches, departure and arrival procedures, systems, what to do when things go wrong, and best operating procedures.

Interactive questions following each lesson test knowledge and teach procedures. With the new King Schools G1000 procedures trainer built into the questions, students operate a simulated G1000 on their computers to practice using the G1000 as they will in the airplane.

The course contains seven CD-ROMS and runs approximately four hours before interactive questions. The student can print out a course completion certificate for the checkout instructor, FBO or insurance company. Price: $249.

For more information: 800-854-1001.
