The Complete Avidyne Course will help you transition from conventional "round dials" to the Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) glass cockpit environment. This 4-hour, narrated, computer-based tutorial will provide an orientation to the Avidyne-Entegra PFD, MFD, audio panel, GNS430, autopilot, and transponder from the safety and privacy of your home or office computer.
Written by Mike Gaffney, Factory-Authorized Flight Instructor (Cessna, Diamond, Cirrus and Quest Kodiak), Avidyne Flight Test Pilot, and FAA 2007 National Flight Instructor of the Year, this program provides an orientation to the screens, knobs, and buttons to help you understand how to properly operate the system and interpret malfunctions, and achieve an effective scan.
Applicable to both VFR and IFR operations, and all aircraft installations of the Avidyne Entegra. PC and Mac compatible, search function and glossary included. Graduation Certificate provided upon completion of the course. The Complete Avidyne Course will help you master the glass cockpit from your desktop and incorporate these lessons into your everyday flying procedures.
