Abstract

The Complete Garmin G1000: A Pilot’s Handbook is a work of passion following nineteen years of development and 9 releases by the author to keep up with Garmin as they have continued to improve upon the de facto standard in general aviation aircraft avionics. This book was designed to be a flight training textbook but reads in a smooth and flowing manner making it an easy read for the pilot in training. The book consists of fourteen scenario based and illustrated chapters loaded with the author’s experience using the G1000 in a wide variety of aircraft platforms. The author leads the pilot on a step-by-step journey using the system in both VFR and IFR conditions. The chapters are full of advice from the experience of a seasoned flight instructor and A&P mechanic. Each chapter concludes with a scenario-based quiz helping the pilot determine if they are ready to proceed to the next chapter. This book is available in paperback and e-book format with a Kindle version being released soon. This is a must read for anybody learning to fly the G1000 cockpit avionics system. It is available on Amazon or on the Sentia Publishing site at https://sentiapublishing.com/the-complete-garmin-g1000-a-pilots-handbook-gaffney-online-textbook/
