Hi sir, I'm at the age of 12 and am training to become a student pilot. This video really helped in my understanding of the G1000. Thanks so much, happy flying!
By how well written this comment was, you can see how mature you're for a 12 years old (now 16 I assume haha). Wishing a lot of success on your career / flight training, hopefully it's going well and is something you're still going for! Cheers, happy flying!
This is definitely a must-watch for every pilot using a G-1000. The only thing I wish could be added is a time-index for every different section for quick reference to a specific item / chapter.
Hi Aymeric, That is an excellent idea. Others have asked for this as well, so I now have it on my list "to do". I will be adding notes to the description to help with navigating the video. Fly Safely - Train Often DR
Thanks a lot ! I keep sharing this video with my students as they move from legacy 172s to the new SP model, it definitely makes the transition smoother for them !
A lot helpful video. I saw this video more than 10 times. You don't need any other reference for learning effective usage of Garmin G1000. All aspects are covered and justice is given to every operation in balanced manner. Thank you!
Hi RJ9mech, Congratulations on your decision to buy/fly a PA46 aircraft. It is the best personal aircraft available today and it is getting better all the time. May I be of service to you in the transition? You can reach me through my website www.rwrpilottraining.com .. Fly Safely - Train Often .. Dick Rochfort, ATP, CFII - Master Instructor
Thank you sir ,it matters not that you were not the demonstrator on the actual tutorial,but the information is valuable all the same,and whats more I am thankful to you for sharing.
Very good introduction and overview. After more than 10 years fly airliner with "glass Cockpits" and FMS:, it is truly amazing to see this level of sanctification, capability and functionality in GA level aircraft.
Excellent 1 hour review of the G1000. I am transitioning to a G1000 equipped Piper aircraft and I believe this video will be very helpful in my initial training. Good job Dick, very well done.
Thanks for a great video. I have been out of the air for a long time and was really intimidated by the glass cockpit. This video has given me enough confidence to jump into my training! I'm sure that I will miss steam gauges for awhile but this video really does make me believe that once I have made the transition... I'll wonder how I ever got along without the G1000!!!!!
Thank you for the kind words, actually this is Garmin’s video; I published it here because it is relevant to my views.. Thank you Garmin! Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
I haven't flown in decades and I'm thinking of diving back in. The G1000 is a beast and I was definitely confused by all it has to offer. This video is on point! Wish it was in HD. Nonetheless, great info and presentation.
AWESOME POST. I have has two hours in the simulator to learn the g1000 and this video is the best. I am planning to go up in the 172 and train IFR on the g1000. I also want to get some time in the 182 as well.
To answer Javier Fernandez's question: On the PFD, press the PFD key, and there will be softkeys for BRG1 and BRG2. Press these to enable additional "needles" on the HSI for NAV1/NAV2 or ADF. (These might have been added in newer versions of the software.)
Hi, Regarding "red x" issues with G1000 .. I have seen this infrequently before with few different parameters in different PA46 aircraft .. comm 1 most recently. I am not sure of the origin, but a reboot seems to work every time. Sometimes it has taken more than one try, but once the red x is gone it seems to not reappear. I suggest you carefully document each event (with video if possible) and provide the information to Garmin CS.
Thanks for the video. In the current VNV Profile am I right in saying the higher the inputted FPA the higher the VS TGT. VS REQ is what is required to meet those targets but is not displayed to after the aircraft passes the TOD. Following from that what is V DEV and what is it used for?
Yes. It is also true that all G1000 features are not available in all OEM firmware. In the PA46 we use VS for descents mostly because of the very limited speeds associated with a yellow arc. I recommend setting up the VSR parameter in the top of the screen so it is visible during the flight. The PA46 does not use V DEV so I am unaware of its use or function. Fly Safely - Train Often ..

Hi, I am not sure which windows you are referring to. If you are asking about the data blocks in the marquee, it is done through the AUX page .. very simple. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
