You'll learn about the PFD and MFD displays, audio panel, programming the GPS, electrical systems, using the autopilot and dealing with emergencies. A detailed discussion of instrument approaches, integrated with use of the autopilot, will help you become a pro. Advanced features, optional in some aircraft, such as TIS and TAS traffic monitoring systems, Stormscopes, and Terrain Awareness Warning Systems (TAWS) are discussed in detail. You'll also learn to use all of the data link weather features, like NEXRAD radar, satellite images, freezing level, winds aloft, AIRMETs, SIGMETS, TFRs,and METARs available through XM Satellite weather. Someday, all planes will be flown this way and with Max Trescott's G1000 Glass Cockpit Handbook, you can learn how to fly them today. Soft cover, 244 pages, 40 in color, illustrated with more than 275 computer screen shots and photographs, glossary and index.

Max Trescott’s Garmin G1000
CD-ROM Course VFR + IFR (PC/Mac/Linux)

There is a revolution sweeping through general aviation. All new aircraft ship with advanced glass cockpits and pilots are faced with the challenge of transitioning to these new systems. The most popular system is the Garmin G1000, and now you can master the system yourself with this new CD-ROM set produced by the author of the popular Max Trescott's G1000 Glass Cockpit Handbook.

The Garmin G1000 training software simulates the behavior of the G1000 system to help you learn the basic operation of the system. The G1000 simulator. The RTD can be ordered with a single visual display or multiple channel displays for wrap-around, high-definition visuals. The Garmin G1000 simulator can only be purchased through Garmin's online store (see below). It cannot be downloaded over the internet. Microsoft Flight Simulator X We haven't tried it, but people tell us the deluxe version of Flight Simulator X, released in October, 2006, includes the Garmin G1000. The deluxe version retails for $69.99. This Garmin Integrated Flight Deck PC Trainer simulates the system user interface and provides the opportunity to explore the features, options, and fundamental operational aspects of the avionics. When used in combination with the system’s pilot’s guide, the trainer can be an effective way to improve avionics familiarity and proficiency at. G1000 is a highly integrated system, it is very powerful and also very complicated. It is recommended that you have a real G1000 user guide from Garmin. Global navigation database and topo data 2.

VFR Course

The IFR G1000 Transition Training course not only covers the G1000, but presents IFR as a series of structured processes. It thoroughly covers all of the major elements that IFR pilots need to remember during every phase of an IFR flight and integrates use of the G1000 into each of the IFR processes. Purchasing the courses provides online access to them for 90 days.
IFR Course

Today’s commercial aircraft are packed to the elevators with sensors, computers, and miles and miles of wiring. Inside the cockpit you’re more than likely to see banks of LCDs and push buttons than analog gauges. So what’s that mean for the intrepid home simulator builder? Modern problems require modern solutions, and this 3D printed simulator is about as modern as it gets.

Published to Thingiverse by the aptly named [FlightSimMaker], this project consists of a dizzying number of 3D-printed components that combine into a full-featured desktop simulator for the Garmin G1000 avionics system. Everything from the parking brake lever to the push buttons in the display bezels was designed and printed: over 200 individual parts in all. Everything in this X-Plane 11 compatible simulator is controlled by an Arduino Mega 2560 with the SimVim firmware.

To help with connecting dozens of buttons, toggle switches, and rotary encoders to the Arduino, [FlightSimMaker] uses five CD74HC4067 16-channel multiplexers. The display is a 12.1 inch 1024 x 768 LCD panel with integrated driver, and comes in at the second most expensive part of the build behind the rotary encoders. All told, the estimated cost per display is around $250 USD.

Even if you aren’t looking to build yourself a high-tech flight simulator, there’s plenty of ideas and tips here that could be useful for building front panels. We particularly like the technique used for doing 3D-printed lettering: the part is printed in white, spray painted a darker color, and then the paint is sanded off the faces of the letters to reveal the plastic. Even with a standard 0.4 mm nozzle, this results in clean high-contrast labels on the panel with minimal fuss.

Of course, while impressive, these panels are just the beginning. There’s still plenty more work to do if you want to build an immersive simulation experience. Including, in the most extreme cases, buying a Boeing 737 cockpit.
