Max Trescott Shows You Everything Glass Panels Have To
Offer
Glass cockpits are an
exciting innovation in general aviation that offer the potential
for enhanced safety... but how many owners of planes equipped with
glass panels know how to operate all the important safety features
those advanced instruments have to offer? Well, the folks at Glass
Cockpit Publishing says they have a solution for at least one
popular panel -- the company announced Thursday the release of
their new CD-ROM course for the Garmin G1000.
Glass Cockpit Publishing says the CD-ROM course builds on the
popularity of Master CFI Max Trescott's Glass Cockpit Handbook, as
well as their online internet G1000 training courses available at
the company's website.
"Whether you're a beginner or an expert, this course will help
you master the basics or teach you the fine points of glass cockpit
operation," Trescott tells ANN. "This course not only explains the
G1000 system, but teaches you how the features relate to everyday
flying."
Trescott adds his Garmin G1000 CD-ROM Course is the only G1000
CD-ROM course with the Searchable Learning System that makes
learning fun and lets you easily find any information. Three views
let you choose whether to zoom in for full screen displays of the
presentation, or to select a view that includes the Searchable
Learning System features.
The course includes:
- More than six hours on two CD-ROM's making it 50% longer than
other courses
- Large, full screen views of displays
- Movie screen captures of operating knobs and softkeys
- Printable G1000 front panel displays, glossary, IFR process
chart and approach plates
- Tips from factory and Master CFI's
- Narration by two CFI's for easy listening
- Keyword searchable slides and transcripts
- Indented outline that makes it easy to quickly navigate to any
topic
- Optional quizzes to reinforce key points
- Files that run on Windows, Macintosh and Linux
Glass Cockpit Publishing says the VFR CD-ROM teaches pilots
everything you need to know prior to taking an initial transition
flight in a G1000-equipped aircraft. The IFR CD-ROM first presents
IFR as a structured process, providing an overview of IFR for
instrument students and instrument rated pilots alike. It
thoroughly covers all of the major elements that IFR pilots need to
remember during each phase of an IFR flight, and integrates use of
the G1000 into each of the IFR processes.
The course retails for $99.95. If you'd like to sample the
program before plunking down a C-note, the company offers a
five-minute online demo, available at the FMI link below.
