G1000 Reading List

Here is my recommended reading list for the Garmin G1000 / Cirrus Perspective:

If you are flying an aircraft with the Garmin G1000 or Cirrus Perspective you should take a look at some or all of the resources listed here. Max Trescott's book is a particularly good resource for learning how to use this equipment. And the Garmin training videos are very good too. The Instructor's Reference, and the article by Fred Simonds, are useful when filling out the WVFC G1000 Ground Review Form (eGRF).

• Max Trescott's G1000 Glass Cockpit Handbook with WAAS & Perspective

• G1000 Integrated Flight Deck - Pilot’s Guide

• Cessna Nav III / Garmin G1000 Supplement

• G1000 Pilot’s Training Guide - Instructor’s Reference

• G1000 Guide for DPEs and CFIs - Failure modes and failure simulation (partial panel) recommendations

• G1000 Training Video by Garmin (which will bring up a number of other G1000 videos as well)

• G1000 Failure Modes, by Fred Simonds, from IFR Refresher

• GFC700 Autopilot Training Video by Garmin (Note: You really do need to reactivate VNAV within 5 minutes of TOD by pressing the VNV key again, even though the scoreboard will indicate that VPATH is already armed. When using VNV descent, a good procedural step is to press VNV (again) when the G1000 flashes the 1 minute warning before TOD.)

• G1000 iPad apps that you might find useful PFD, MFD
