Learning to Fly the Garmin G1000

Instructors agree that the cockpit is not an ideal learning environment. Reading this book is one of the most efficient and cost effective ways to learn the G1000 before stepping into the cockpit and taking your first transition lesson. In addition, we recommend that you use the Garmin G1000 simulator software to practice as you read this book. We can also help you find where to rent a G1000 aircraft.
