Today, nearly 100% of all new GA aircraft ship with glass cockpits, most of them Garmin G1000. Whether you're an owner, potential owner, or renter (more than 150 locations rent G1000 planes!), you'll want to become expert at flying these exciting new aircraft and benefit from their enhanced safety. Now, there's a single source of information that educates pilots about all of the features and benefits of flying the G1000, and how features vary between aircraft manufacturers.

Max Trescott, a Master CFI who's trained and taught extensively in glass cockpit aircraft, takes a narrative approach to explaining the G1000 in ways that both beginners and experts can understand. You'll learn every system feature and when and why to use it. The book is loaded with illustrations and 'tips' gleaned from leading glass cockpit instructors around the country. Instrument pilots will find the book valuable, since it explains how to fly instrument approaches with the G1000, and integrates the proper use of an autopilot throughout the approach.

Data link weather services and Stormscopes operation are explained. Someday, everyone will fly these aircraft, and Max Trescott's G1000 Glass Cockpit Handbook gets you started now.
