Mountain View, CA—Max Trescott, the 2008 National Certificated Flight Instructor of the Year, has updated his award-winning book on the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit. Called the “Overall Winner” of G1000 training products by Aviation Consumer, the 3rd edition includes details on new PFD and MFD features, VLJ features found in the Cessna Mustang jet, and flying instrument approaches with WAAS. A rewritten autopilot chapter covers the KAP 140 and all three versions of the Garmin GFC700 integrated autopilot, vertical navigation, and vertical flight plans. With 40 extra pages, the book sells for its original $34.95 price.

Since its 2004 introduction, the Garmin G1000 has rapidly evolved, and software revisions let aircraft owners upgrade their G1000-equipped aircraft with the latest features shipping in new aircraft. Likewise, owners of earlier editions of Max Trescott’s G1000 Glass Cockpit Handbook will want to purchase a new copy to stay current on the many changes.

The 3rd edition is organized so that experienced G1000 pilots can easily find just the recent updates, most of which are in a separate chapter. New readers, flying older G1000 aircraft, won’t need to read about the latest changes, but are made aware of them through references placed throughout the book. More of the popular “Tips,” gathered from Master CFIs, are also included.

Readers benefit from detailed explanations that not only describe the function of valuable new features like the Current Track Bug, but also the context of how and when to use them. They’ll enjoy Trescott’s use of plain, simple language to explore the complexities of the autopilot’s new VNV key, used for vertical navigation, and of WAAS, the FAA’s Wide Area Augmentation System. LPV, LNAV/VNAV and LNAV+V approaches are clearly explained, as are features found only in the Cessna Mustang jet and likely to appear in the Diamond D-Jet. Max Trescott’s G1000 Glass Cockpit Handbook belongs in every pilot’s flight bag and is the perfect complement to Max Trescott’s Garmin G1000 CD-ROM Course.
