The seventh class in our Ground Seminar Series will be Advanced G1000 – IFR Operations on Saturday, April 7 from 10:00am to 12:30pm. Sean Brodeur will be teaching. $50

This seminar will address the Garmin 1000′s instrument pilot-specific capabilities. Instrument-rated clients new to the G1000 will see how the glass display simplifies so much about IFR flying.

Topics will include:

  • Entering filed route and changing flight plans
  • Instrument, RAIM and VOR checks
  • Pre-departure setup (DP and emergency return)
  • Checking weather before departing
  • Enroute operations
