Take against a green background or pure white 1. Obtain the Pilots Operating Handbook (POH) 2. Learn the vital speeds (V speeds) such as take off, landing and cruise speeds. 3. Learn how to handle twin engines if equipped. 4. Get/Make a Checklist 5. Learn about the “blue knob” 6. Cockpit orientation. 7. Take it for a spin and get to the practice area at altitude to get comfortable with it. We will go through these steps in this session Take against a green background or pure white • You have to memorize new V speeds and get the appropriate POH. You also need to learn how to interpret a “Glass Cockpit” with the G1000 Suite. Take against a green background or pure white A whole new checklist, POH, emergency procedures and V-speeds to memorize. Get that POH out because there is a whole lot of reading to do now. 4 seats instead of 2.

Take against a green background or pure white All the same functionality as conventional gauges but displayed on a glass display. Hence the name, “Glass Cockpit” You only need one as the other is a backup or your moving map and engine status. Take against a green background or pure white Depending on how much you spend, each LRU module adds specific functionality such as the communication radios. Take against a green background or pure white Many modules have a specific display for their data, but can be shared between the two displays for redundancy. Take against a green background or pure white In the event that a specific LRU malfunctions, you would see a red X through the appropriate display section. Take against a green background or pure white 1. Every aircraft could have a few gauges or a lot of gauges depending on who owned it and how much they spent on instrumentation. 2. But the basic SIX-PACK is necessary for all phases of flight. We will go into more detail with these primary gauges Take against a green background or pure white Take against a green background or pure white Know how to adjust your altimeter setting Take against a green background or pure white Take against a green background or pure white Flight Plan Functions AutoPilot Functions SoftKeys (can change with each menu) Take against a green background or pure white Take against a green background or pure white The audio panel sits in the middle of the two displays and handles all voice and audible communications. Conventional audio panel Listen to morse code of a VOR to confirm Many of these buttons don’t work yet in the simulator The white arrows indicate active coms for speaking and listening The LRU Take against a green background or pure white What is this RED Button used for? It's important for at least 3 reasons: 1. PFD is blank, push button to get PFD data on MFD. 2. MFD is blank, push button to get engine instruments on PFD. 3. Both displays are working but showing the PFD display with engine instruments. Push button to return to normal. In addition, the system may detect faults on its own to switch to revisionary mode as well. Take against a green background or pure white In the event that your PFD and MFD malfunction, you can use your backup instruments to safely continue. Take against a green background or pure white While Jayne and Howard head out to the airplane please direct your questions in chat to her fellow students on live mics. They will convey your questions upon their return. A 3rd party free download to pass control of the airplane back and forth.

Take against a green background or pure white 1.What is the main difference between the 172 compared These are directed questions at the student pilots in this session. Chat questions will be addressed after this. Take against a green background or pure white 2. Is the G1000 glass cockpit more intuitive or harder to learn? What are your impressions? Each student can share their thoughts on this new airplane and it’s characteristics. Chat can too. Take against a green background or pure white 3. Would the PFD work if the main battery were to die? 4. Can the Cessna 172 climb any higher than the 152? Why or why not. Where is this answer? Take against a green background or pure white 5.
