The user manuals available from GPS manufacturers are not designed with training in mind. They tell you what each button does, but not necessarily the best sequence to accomplish a specific task.

It’s important to understand the different situations that can come up at any time in the cockpit—especially when flying IFR. You need to know the capabilities of your GPS and how to get exactly what you need, quickly, when you need it. Whether it’s a straightforward procedure or something unexpected — you need to be ready to go, and not fumbling with your equipment.

That’s where these manuals come in. They provide a simple task-based format for learning your GPS. Each function is broken down into individual steps that guide you through the different ways you can accomplish a task or procedure in your GPS. It’s as simple as following the steps, and before you know it you’ll be using your GPS to its full capabilities.

Our GPS manuals are written by a team of highly accomplished CFIs, with decades of experience teaching pilots to fly with advanced avionics. 

These CFIs know how pilots use GPS units in real-world situations and organize them with this in mind. They bring a practical usability and efficiency to each manual. 

We regularly talk with customers who have purchased these manuals and have implemented many suggestions over the years to improve them.

It just makes sense to learn from experienced pilots who have spent thousands of hours studying and organizing GPS operations into a simple manual?

New user

If you’ve recently acquired a GPS 
unit, you’ll find these manuals 
the perfect way to get up to 
speed on your new equipment. 
They can be especially effective 
when used along with training 
videos that may have come with 
your unit. The biggest benefit 
is helping you tame the steep 
learning curve by explaining 
functions in terms and examples 
that pilots use in everyday flight.

Intermediate user

Most pilots fit in this category. 
You may have had your unit for 
a while, and you are using it 
on your flights. But you could 
be more efficient. If you find 
yourself taking too long to find 
the commands or functions you 
need, this will help. The single 
pilot IFR workload is too high to 
spend time fiddling with knobs 
and buttons. You need to be 
confident with your GPS to use it 
to your fullest.

Experienced user

If you are comfortable and 
confident with your GPS, maybe 
you don’t need a resource like 
this. But if you find there are 
some loose ends or functions 
you aren’t getting the most out 
of, the functional layout of the 
manual can help you quickly 
master the power of your GPS 
and use it to its full potential 
so you get the most out of your 
investment.

 “The manuals we looked at were well written and broken up in a fashion that made sense for 
a pilot using the particular GPS. Most terms were clearly defined, something we appreciate. 
Because they are written in a how-to, or task-oriented style, we thought they were easier to 
use than the manufacturer’s manuals…”
