Galvin Flying Services was one of the first flight training organizations to develop comprehensive G1000 training. Our G1000 ground school sessions occupies two full days over a weekend, extensively covering all the capabilities of this astonishing system.

The G1000 technology continues to develop, and continues to be OEM in almost every general aviation aircraft. As pilot requirements change, so too must the G1000 ground school. Examples of recent developments are the addition of XM satellite weather, WAAS capabilities, and synthetic vision techology.

Day one of the Galvin course essentially covers VFR operations. Using our PC based simulators, groups of two persons are introduced to the core concepts of the system in a classroom environment. Fundamentally, it is a course in "knobology", i.e. "What does THAT knob do...?"

Day two of the Galvin course essentially covers IFR scenarios. Since not every pilot is instrument rated (though we can make a pretty strong case that you should have that as an aviation objective) we separated the course into the two basic components.

All materials are supplied. Course costs are:

VFR ONLY $249
VFR and IFR $449

Students having completed course requirements may choose to book additional time in Galvin G1000 flight training devices such as the Frasca Mentor. Normally priced at $65 hourly for the FTD, students will be offered 5 hours at $49 (plus CFI time at normal rates)
