Other Info

  • University of North Dakota (UND) has an excellent checklist trainer for the C172S-G1000. The checklist and airplane may be slightly different than those you use, but this is still very helpful...and fun!
  • UND provides a nice electrical system trainer. Don't worry - you don't need to learn every relay and solenoid...unless you want to! Fun to play around with and the more you understand the system...the better!
  • There are tons of G1000 videos out there, but this one by ATP and CFII Dick Rochfort is one of the better ones. Just over one hour.
  • Mindstar Aviation has an excellent video series showing their simulator-version of the G1000.
  • Simionic makes an excellent G1000 Simulator for iPad!
