| Integrated, computer-based panels and instrumentation started appearing in general aviation cockpits at the start of this century. With the growth of flight instruments and instrumentation providers, Garmin made a strong early attempt at standardization of design with it’s G1000 avionics package which appeared in Cessna 172s and 182s starting in 2004. Nearly 20 years later, avionics systems and features have continued to evolve capabilities, now often with touchscreen interfaces.
San Carlos Flight Center has invited aircraft owner, James Sloan, to review the instrumentation he chose for the recent panel overhaul of his Cessna 182. He will give an introduction to avionics like the Garmin G500 TXi flight deck display that integrates and controls other avionic components such as the G500 autopilot, and JPI engine monitor. He will share the main similarities this system has with other avionics systems in our fleet, as well as the differences in startup and operation. This is an important step in understanding the full capability of the avionics system, and it’s a great chance to hear it from someone very familiar with the details. If you are interested in seeing what the benefits of integrated avionics can offer for instrument as well as VFR flying, join this riveting session and gain an insight into the benefits of flying with advanced avionics. |
