Learn All Aspects Of Advanced Avionics Systems

Let's face it... all those fancy gadgets in your new Machbuster Thundercrunch's cockpit aren't going to do you very much good, unless you know ALL they have to offer. With that in mind, King Schools is now offering a new way for pilots to learn to harness the power of Garmin 430/530, with a new interactive video course.

"The course has hundreds of video lessons that demonstrate how to use the 430/530. These are followed with interactive questions, many using the King built-in procedures trainer that lets you practice what you just learned", said John King.

Martha King adds, "Once pilots complete this course, they will be able to make the system do what they want without hesitation the first time they use it. Plus, we want pilots to be able to avoid the 'gotchas' that can cause confusion."

The course covers all aspects of the Garmin 430/530 --- including best-practices, moving maps, flight plans, "Direct-To" usage, page groups, nearest airport, navigation aids, what to do when there is an in-flight problem, activating approaches, departures and arrivals, course reversals, holding, missed approaches, terrain features, system customization, and, how to handle possible 430/530 malfunctions.

"Flying the Garmin 430/530" contains 7 CD-ROMs and runs approximately 4 fours before interactive questions. The student can print out a course completion certificate for the checkout instructor, FBO, or insurance company. The price is $249.
