Book & DVD. This introduction to the new generation of aeroplane cockpit automation, now prevalent in general-aviation aircraft, provides common-sense instructions and illustrations for each step of an actual flight -- from pre-flight, taxi-out, take-off, cruising, descent, and landing. Autopilots, GPS navigation systems, and other colourful "glass cockpit" displays are examined as well as other modern technologies found in late model aircraft; particular emphasis is placed on the Garmin G430. Ideal for both self-study and classroom use, each chapter ends with a practice session that can be used in a simulator program or at a local flight school. The accompanying 30-minute DVD further reinforces the new material by demonstrating each skill as it pertains to specific flight scenarios.
