G1000 Equipped C-182T – N780CP

Listed below are several links to important documents about safely operating the 2006 model Cessna 182, its Garmin 1000 series avionics, and the King 2-axis autopilot.  Other suggestions for this page should be forwarded to Capt Ted Spitzmiller at thspitzmiller@msn.com or Capt Brian Morrision at bmorris@nmia.com. 

 

For some, the new polysyllables and flashy acronyms may be a bit intimidating, but the airplane is still a C-182.  Too ease the transition burden the training will be provided for various levels of participation.

 

  • VFR — the Pilot must demonstrate competence with the Primary Flight Display, Engine Performance Display, basic VOR and GPS Navigation, Terrain avoidance, and Traffic Information Systems

 

  • IFR — the pilot must demonstrate competence with all Primary Flight Displays and all Multi-Function Displays to include GPS navigation, as well as ILS, VOR and GPS approaches and the use of the autopilot.

 

  • NAV/COM ASSIST — need not be a pilot to be trained in the use of the Multi-Function Display to assist the PIC in managing the displays and evaluating the information from the right seat.
