Guide To Popular Glass Cockpit Now Available From Glass Cockpit
Publishing
There is a revolution sweeping through general aviation. Two
years ago, few aircraft shipped with glass cockpits. Now, nearly
100% of all new GA aircraft ship with glass cockpits, many of them
the Garmin G1000. Whether you’re an owner, potential owner,
or renter (more than 150 locations rent G1000-equipped aircraft),
you’ll want to become expert at flying these exciting new
aircraft and benefit from their enhanced safety.
Until now, there’s been no single source of information
that educates pilots about all of the features and benefits of
flying the G1000, and how features vary between aircraft
manufacturers. Whether you fly Beechcraft, Cessna, Columbia,
Diamond, Mooney or Tiger aircraft, you’ll learn which G1000
features apply to your particular aircraft.
Max Trescott, a Master CFI who’s trained and taught
extensively in glass cockpit aircraft, takes a narrative approach
to explaining the G1000 in ways that both beginners and experts can
understand. Not only is every system feature explained, but
information on when and why you’d use a particular function
are also included. The book is loaded with illustrations and
“tips” gleaned from leading glass cockpit instructors
around the country.
Instrument pilots will find the book valuable, since it explains
how to fly instrument approaches with the G1000, and integrates the
proper use of an autopilot throughout the approach. Data link
weather and Stormscopes® are popular G1000 option, and the book
details how the weather data is gathered and delivered to the
plane, so that you’ll understand the limitations and proper
use of the information. The book is $34.95, soft cover, 244 pages,
40 in color, and illustrated with more than 275 computer screen
shots and photographs, glossary and index.
