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.
