Garmin G1000 Pilot's Training Guide (Instructor's Reference -04) - Page 7

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-resolution displays. The digital data presentation on the G1000 puts all flight-critical information literally at the pilot's fingertips. Purpose In addition to containing the same material as that provided in the G1000 Pilot's Training Guide, this manual also contains all of the answers to each of the ground lesson exercises. Included in the lessons are G1000 PC training device (Simulator) optional practice exercises that should be observed and reviewed by the instructor while they are being completed by the student. These exercises can also be used as example scenarios during ground training. It is the instructor's responsibility to follow up with the ground training by using various evaluation tools, including verbal quizzing, written examination and/or flight evaluation. During each phase of the evaluation, emphasis should be placed upon aeronautical decision making (ADM) and single-pilot resource management (SRM). 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 the ground lessons with a properly trained flight instructor. The instructor should work with the student to make sure that the system is fully understood and to ensure that the flight lessons cover all appropriate material. Note that the instructor may determine that additional training is required to review aircraft systems, procedures, airspace, or other knowledge areas. The student should practice to attain full proficiency with the G1000 system. Level of Knowledge Attained The material contained in the Pilot's Training Guide is designed to help the student progress from basic to advanced levels of knowledge. The basic skills of interpreting the Primary Flight Display (PFD), tuning the radios and operating the audio panel are covered early 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 the student 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. 190-00368-04 Rev.
