INTRODUCTION
G1000 Integrated Flight Deck
The G1000 is a completely integrated avionics system, designed to fit a broad range of aircraft models. It is an all-glass fight deck that presents flight instrumentation, location, navigation, communication, and identification data on large-format, high-resolution displays. The digital data presentation on the G1000 puts all flight-critical information literally at the pilot’s fingertips.
Purpose
This Pilot’s Training Guide is provided to help the pilot transition to Garmin G1000-equipped aircraft. Use this study guide in combination with the G1000 Simulator and/or the G1000 Pilot’s Guide as well as the flight instructor’s guidance and feedback to maximize G1000 training before taking delivery of a new G1000-equipped aircraft.
NOTE: Ground lessons should be completed before starting flight training.
NOTE: In this training guide, each lesson contains exercises as well as a list of resources that are recommended before completing these exercises.
Flight and Ground Instruction
It is important to coordinate ground lessons with a properly trained flight instructor. Work with an instructor to make sure that the system is fully understood. This training guide works best if an instructor is involved from the very beginning. Work with an instructor to ensure that the flight lessons cover all appropriate material. Note that the instructor may determine that additional training is required to review aircraft systems, procedures, airspace, or other knowledge areas. Practice under an instructor until confidently proficient with the G1000 system.
Level of Knowledge Attained
The material contained in this guide is designed to help pilots progress from basic to advanced levels of knowledge. The basic skills of interpreting the Primary Flight Display (PFD), tuning the radios, and operating the Audio Panel are covered early on in the training material. Later sections cover navigation, terrain, and other more complex material. The Pilot’s Training Guide is designed so that pilot and instructor can begin basic training quickly.
NOTE: It is not necessary to complete the Navigation portion of the material before taking off on a local training flight.

Ground Lesson 2
TRANSITION TO THE PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD)
Objectives
Upon completion of this lesson, the pilot should be able to read, understand, and interpret the six primary flight instruments displayed on the PFD that indicate airspeed, attitude, altitude, vertical speed, turn rate/coordination, and heading.
Resources
•G1000 Pilot’s Guide
•G1000 Cockpit Poster
Exercise 2.1: Instrumentation Layout
In the space provided below, sketch the six primary flight instruments as displayed. Also, include additionally displayed instruments, such as the Vertical Deviation/Glideslope Indicator, Marker Beacon Annunciation, Traffic Annunciation, and TAWS Annunciation on the PFD.
