Summary
183
Max talks about the Garmin G3000 and G5000 Glass Cockpits and the
many aircraft they’re in from the F-5 fighter jet to the Cirrus
Vision Jet. He also discusses differences from the G1000 and
Perspective, and why the G3000 and G5000 are easier to use. He also
talks about his new G3000 and G5000 book. Later, he interviews Nick
Sinopoli, inventor of the ICARUS Devices Smart Hood for IFR
training.
Garmin G3000 and G5000 Glass
Cockpit
What do some fighter jets, light business jets, turboprops and even
Joby Aviation’s eVTOL all have in common? They all use, or plan to
use, the Garmin G3000 or G5000 glass cockpit! The Garmin G3000 and
G5000 are used in twenty-three aircraft models, and manufacturers
have announced plans to use them in a half dozen other models. Now
there’s a new source of information for pilots flying these
aircraft: Max Trescott's
G3000 and G5000 Glass Cockpit Handbook!
Max Trescott, the 2008 National Flight Instructor of the Year, uses a narrative approach to explaining the G3000 and G5000 from a pilot’s perspective in ways that both beginners and experts can understand. He starts by describing the hardware, including the displays and touchscreen controllers, and then describes how to use each function, including the radios, programming flight plans and instrument approaches, and using the autopilot and electronic checklists. He also teaches the data link weather products available through SiriusXM, ADS-B FIS-B weather, and Garmin Connext Weather. Throughout the book, you’ll find practical tips, gleaned from the industry’s most experienced glass cockpit instructors, on how to use different features. Pilots may want to keep a copy of the book in the cockpit and use the book’s detailed Index, so they can quickly look up how to use a feature. The book is 312 pages and includes 367 color images.
Some of the G3000/G5000-equipped aircraft covered in the book
include:
• Cessna Citation M2, CJ3+, Sovereign+, Latitude, Longitude,
Denali, and 10+
• Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet
• Daher TBM 930 and TBM 940
