Garmin On-site Training Helps Pilots Learn Avionics Details
The two-day training class for the G500/G600 MFDs and GTN navigators is a valuable experience.
Garmin’s G600 demo units allowed trainees to practice inputting and flying flight plans, including ATC reroutes.

Modern avionics are at once both complex and capable, and a significant amount of the training time to qualify on a new airplane involves learning how the avionics work. At the same time, there are common avionics platforms found in many different airplanes, and pilots can take advantage of manufacturer training programs and events such as those offered by Garmin for its integrated flight decks (G1000 through G5000) and GTN navigators and G500/G600 multifunction displays. AIN attended a two-day class for the G500/G600 and GTNs and found it to be not only an excellent introduction to a new avionics system but also a deep dive into how to make the system perform.
