| A Garmin G1000 system consists of many electronic units, most of them remotely located and invisible. Except for the displays, we are aware of them only when perusing the Pilot’s Guide. What do the individual components do? And how can a pilot detect when they go wrong?
San Carlos Flight Center invites CFI Brian Eliot to investigate the allocation of G1000 functions to specific units, how these units provide for redundancy, and how the pilot can monitor and diagnose problems when they occur, to make an informed decision to continue or to terminate a flight. In this seminar, Brain will provide realistic scenarios in which these potential errors could occur, and how to handle them if one arises. The info pertinent within this seminar can be of interest to pilots of any experience level, both VFR and IFR. Join us to be more cognizant of your G1000 system. |
