![]() Many flights I don’t even turn on my iPad & Foreflight while in the air. Once you get past the basics, there’s lots more. While in the air, you concentrate on the flying and will be able to access the myriad of data from the G1000 quickly and directly. ![]() If you can find a ground power supply like a Start Pac, practice turning knobs and operate your plane’s G1000 while on the ramp or hangar. Learn how to turn the knobs and find all this stuff and know where and which page they’re on and be able to go right to it. Learn how to find metars, airport data & ATC frequencies, flight plan input, top of descent, and map and XM weather display operations. The version of my G1000 is the earliest (with the KAP-140 autopilot), so I found an early edition of Trescott’s book on eBay. The G1000 offers a lot and the knobs and the information they get to is best learned on the ground. A relatively low time VFR pilot learning the utility of the G1000 is all about muscle memory.
