The Garmin GTN series of touch-screen navigators is becoming more common in general aviation, both personal and training aircraft. While these devices retain much of the operating logic of its GNS line of predecessors, there are numerous new features and some surprising differences. And when the GTN is mated to GPS steering, an autopilot, or an HSI, the pilot's learning curve can be steep. To use this new technology in a high-workload environment such as IFR flight requires careful study and training.
As SCFC gradually upgrades the avionics capability of our aircraft, we are more and more aware of how important it is for pilots to dedicate the time to understanding the differences between the latest avionics technology and avionics from event 10-15 years ago. In our effort to improve the IFR capability of our Piper Archer, the owner discovered that some amazing new features came with the new technology - for example blue-tooth pairing to a tablet device.
In this seminar, we will examine a typical installation of a Garmin GTN 750 using SCFC's Archer as an example. While time will not permit teaching of the full operating spectrum of the GTN 750, he will demonstrate some promise and pitfalls, the interaction of GPS navigators with modern autopilots, and the aircraft manuals every pilot must study before flight. This is a great introduction to functionality found across the Garmin GTN series.
