    Garmin G1000 Checkout Course
    Pros

    Sporty's G1000 checkout is very well done; it is logically presented with the right format to progress from basics to an instrument flight. The pacing is excellent and presentation professional.
    I am happy with it.

    Cons

    I hate Sporty's method of shipping. What could be a $2 postal fee for this size package becomes a $13 dollar shipment fee.

    It's hard for me to be objective, because I'm have a G600 with a 530 430 that I have been flying now for a year. So it's like graduation to the G1000, even though, I'm so glad I got the DVD, because there's so much more and fun stuff that I would have never known about, so Thanks for such a wonderful DVD. It going to help me before I take class room and simulater at Flight Safety in Witicha.

    Narrated instructional video is great.

    Cons

    G1000 computer simulation program is very slow; some "function" buttons/softkeys show that the command input was taken, but it never responds. Very slow to switch between MFD and PFD displays.

    General Comments

    Computer OS, hard drive configuration/performance is not the issue.

    Gives you a very General overview of the G1000 System.
    Sim CD is a great learning tool

    Cons

    Doesn't go into that much detail.
    Sim CD is not Windows 7 approved. Had to install it on my old PC with Windows XP.

    I ordered hoping it would be a more comprehensive "how-to" video. The video provides a nice overview, but fails to really get into anything too deep. For $90, I was expecting a little more. I would recommend only if you have the money to spare.

    Not enough detail on functions. The interactive computer program is difficult to use and should have more help functions. the best way to us it is to print the manuel.

    General Comments

    I do not think this was worth the costs. If the cost was lower I woul have rated the product high. It gives a good overview and introduction to the G1000 but I do not view it as a very good training tool.
