cockpits, rather than traditional instrument panels. The most popular of these is the Garmin G1000, and now there's a comprehensive guide describing how to operate these airplanes: "Max Trescott's G1000 Glass Cockpit Handbook." This book makes it easy for you to quickly become an expert on operating and programming the G1000 system in any aircraft. Instructors agree that the cockpit is not an ideal learning environment. Reading this book, written by a Master Flight Instructor, is one of the most efficient and cost effective ways to learn the G1000 before stepping into the cockpit for your first transition lesson.
