How Does It Work? Cessna Unveils New G1000 Orientation Program

Cessna Aircraft Company has begun providing customers with its exclusive Garmin G1000 factory-authorized orientation program.  The program meets the FAA/Industry Training Standards (FITS), and is designed to assist customers in their transition from traditional aircraft panel gauges to the new all-glass, jet-like cockpit.

Cessna's G1000 orientation program spans two days. Each customer is assigned an individual workstation and a computer equipped with a sophisticated, Garmin G1000 simulator program.  Using a combination of classroom time, simulator exercises, and actual flight time, customers will become acquainted with the G1000's capabilities. 

Currently, Cessna's exclusive G1000 training is only offered at Cessna's single engine aircraft manufacturing facility in Independence, Kansas.

Later this year, Cessna will introduce a factory authorized instructor program that will be available at select Cessna Pilot Centers and Cessna Sales Team Authorized Representative locations.

The G1000 system integrates all primary flight, navigation, communication, terrain, traffic, weather, and Engine Instrumentation and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) data on two 10.4-inch, high-definition LCDs in the Skylane and Turbo Skylane.  These active-matrix displays feature XGA resolution (1,024x768-pixel count) and are capable of presenting data in brilliant, sunlight-readable color at wide viewing angles.
