Garmin is pleased to announce expanded pilot training opportunities for 2015 to include additional live classes and eLearning courses. Garmin is offering scheduled classes for the GTN 650/750 touchscreen navigator series and G500/G600 glass flight display systems, in addition to on demand classes for the G1000, G3000, and G5000 Integrated Flight Decks. These live classes are held locally at Garmin Headquarters in Olathe, Kansas, and provide customers with a hands-on approach to learning Garmin avionics in a classroom environment taught by experienced certified flight instructors.
Integrated Flight Deck training is tailored specifically to aircraft type and the pilots attending the class. These on-demand courses are dependent upon instructor availability, training aids and other resource considerations, but provide pilots with a hands-on learning opportunity in a structured environment for pilots flying with the G1000, G3000 or G5000 Integrated Flight Decks.
For additional information or to request training for any one of the G1000, G3000 or G5000 Integrated Flight Decks, contact aviation.training@garmin.com or call (866) 739-5687.
