Just got a call from a local doctor with a new 172 and G1000 panel. He wants to start his instrument training. Time for me to join the 21st century and get up to snuff on this stuff. My only appreciable G1000 time was in a 182 last year at Chips BBQ. Not really much to speak of. I am pretty fluent in the Garmin knobology, and can punch out the basics on the 430/530.
For those of you out there teaching in glass, how is your training syllabus adjusted for use in the G1000 cockpit vs. Regular steam gauges? What do I need to know before next monday? Second both of these recommendations. Just got a call from a local doctor with a new 172 and G1000 panel.

Regular steam gauges? What do I need to know before next monday? Quite honestly, the King G1000 training software sucks. I took very little away from it; particularly considering its cost of $199 I paid. Now, it's $249.
That's such a waste in my opinion considering how well many other King products are done.The Trescott book and software are great. For those interested, I can get them wholesale and will gladly pass them on at cost plus shipping. Ironically, I had just looked this up today for someone else.The is normally $35 and available for $23.The is normally $100 and available for $60.Shipping would be around $15. If you're interested, PM me.This is strictly for PoA members. I'm not asking for anything for myself.
If so inspired, add a few bucks and I'll pass it along to that guy who has the chipmunk in his avatar.The Garmin simulator is great. Go for that to study. It's even better if you can use it on a twin-screen system.Fortunately, I have the luxury of practicing on the G1000 set up in a huge BE-58 simulator. But, I think ours cost around $300,000. That's out of the price range of most folks here. I used the Garmin syllabuses (syllabi?) and the Garmin 1000 Sim (V6.01) at first.
Then followed up with Max's book. I presume Max's software would be as good as his book. Our local flight school is almost all glass now. I was running out of planes to rent that were round-gauges. In the end, it saved me several hundred in training/rentals. I did one VFR flight and one IFR (very close to an IPC) flight.
The flight school usually does 2 VFR and 3 IFR to be checked out in the G1000s. This is one case where the SIMs and the homework really paid back dividends.
Tony -Trescott's book is good reading, but makes more sense if you ahve a little time behind the panel. At least, it did for me.
I wish I had those links before I did my first G100 instructional flight. But a smart guy like you, with good 430 experience, can suss out most of the functions fairly easily.Have the good doctor study hard about the buttonology,and concentrate on teaching him good IR skills. The procedures are the same, you just have to send your gaze to a different spot to get the needed information.And Sportys sells some nifty static-cling covers that can simulate instrument failure. Even have red X's on them. You can probably do more realistic failures on a good sim, but I don't have one available.
