INTRODUCTION
G1000 Integrated Cockpit System
The G1000™ is a completely integrated avionics system designed to fit a broad range of aircraft models. It is an all-glass flight
deck that presents flight instrumentation, location, navigation, communication and identification data on large-format, high-res-
olution displays. The digital data presentation on the G1000 puts all flight-critical information literally at the pilot’s fingertips.
Purpose
This Pilot’s Training Guide is provided to help the pilot transition to Garmin G1000-equipped aircraft. Use this study guide in
combination with the G1000 Simulator and/or the G1000 Pilot’s Guide as well as your flight instructor’s guidance and feedback
to maximize your G1000 training before taking delivery of your new G1000-equipped aircraft.
NOTE: Ground lessons should be completed before starting flight training.
NOTE: In this training guide, each lesson contains exercises as well as a list of resources that are recommended before
completing these exercises.
Flight and Ground Instruction
It is important to coordinate your ground lessons with a properly trained flight instructor. Work with your instructor to make
sure that you fully understand the system. This training guide works best if you involve your instructor from the very begin-
ning.
Work with your instructor to ensure that your flight lessons cover all appropriate material. Note that your instructor may
determine that additional training is required to review aircraft systems, procedures, airspace, or other knowledge areas. Do
practice until both you and your instructor are confident in your proficiency with the G1000 system.
Level of Knowledge Attained
The material contained in the Pilot’s Training Guide is designed to help you progress from basic to advanced levels of knowl-
edge. The basic skills of interpreting the Primary Flight Display, tuning the radios and operating the audio panel are covered early
on in the training material. Later sections cover navigation, terrain and other more complex material. The Pilot’s Training Guide
was designed in this manner so that you and your instructor could begin basic training quickly.
NOTE: It is not necessary to complete the Navigation portion of the material before taking off on a local training flight.
