I've been training on a g1000 for a few weeks and it takes some getting used to. A couple of little tricks to help you out that my CFI told me is if your checking to see if the Alternator is charging just cycle between 0 and 10 deg flaps quickly and you can see an instant fluctuation of the charging instead of turning on all the lights and pitot heat. The light switches are in an awkward spot and flaps are easy. Another thing, if you're interested, is that since the dials are exactly the same whether your using the PFD or the MFD, when you go to set your heading bug, get in the habit of using the heading dial on the MFD instead of the PFD (on the far left side) That way enroute if your making adjustments you can keep your left hand on the yoke and keep flying. And finally, another cool trick that some instructors forget about is, if you want to switch to 121.5 for an actual emergency, or just to see if your ELT is transmitting, instead of entering in the 121.5 manually, just hold down the COM swap button at the top of the g1000 and it automatically loads 121.5 and makes it the current COM channel. ... Just my 2 cents. ! Love the videos, very informative!!
Flying the G1000 with an instructor for the first time tomorrow. I'm only familiar with the P, R, and S models.....and J3 cub. The G1000 seems a little intimidating since I've never flown one. But this video is a perfect intro. This video is from 2014, but please know that it's still relevant for people poking around the internet for intel on new flight experiences! Thanks Steve!
I'm a 16 year old student pilot and I've been used to flying the Grumman AA-1 for six years so I was ooo-ing and ahhh-ing throughout the whole video. My school went out of business and now I have to start flying Cessnas.
G1000 gives you really specific and precise information regarding engine performance, navigation, electrical systems, and Great situational awareness, especially regarding airspace boundaries and terrain. Being able to program an IFR flight on the ground is so simple and easy, and a great way to get and stay ahead of the airplane in actual IFR conditions with the aid of auto pilot if you’re single pilot IFR.
I instruct in G1000 Skyhawks, and this man was incorrect as far as the HSI goes. It is in no way connected to the compass. There is a magnetometer in the wing that the HSI gets its heading info from
You'll love it! I'm glad I trained in the traditional six packs and didn't get spoiled with the G1000 off the bat, but man was it nice once I flew and got comfortable with the G1000!
I had my first flight with a G1000 172 last week. They are pretty cool but take some getting used to. Steam gauges are faster tio look at but once you start getting used to it the like altitude seem easier. Not that it matters I won't be able to afford anything like that when I purchase a plane. Good video thanks
I just got a job at a local FBO. I get a discount on our 2008 172SP with the G1000 and autopilot. It is now only $10 more than the old 70's 172s I've been flying. I'm really looking forward to it!
Love these videos! Thank you for all the work that goes into them. I'm a PPL in New Zealand. Anytime you're in the South Pacific, give us a buzz and we'll give you an arial tour.
Man, I've only been watching your videos for a week, and you're without doubt the best TH-cam aviator I've seen. I love your video format and self critique. Keep up the great work!
You're welcome! I actually lived in Toronto for a while a couple years back and always wanted to fly out of the Island Airport, so I'm very jealous! I'm just about to start flying a G1000 172, so this was helpful for me.
I love flying the G1000 and the G500. Nice quick initial overview, but it would be awesome if you plugged in the external power and did a whole series on the glass.
You covered that damn stand by battery switch. It was driving me nuts in X-Plane, despite lots of web searches. This video just came up randomly in my TH-cam recommended hours after I gave up and decided to leave it alone lol... I'm mainly setting my sim up for ultralights, so I wasn't interested in finding/reading any official manuals.
I hate the G1000 for many reasons. Firstly, fly-by-wire is a death trap. And I hate that cars are using it for steering and brakes and throttle now too. I know, fbw and the glass cockpit aren't necessarily tied together. You could put a G1000 in a Cub. But, it's hard to make electronics as robust as mechanical connections. When I fly, I like to use all 3 navs with each other for redundancy and accuracy. The ADF needle lining up with the VOR2 needle to act as backup in case the VOR1 ILS inops. With the G1000, you can see only one of these at any given time by pressing a softkey. With the analog cockpit, they're all visible without taking hands off the yoke&throttle.
Its awesome how my checkout stressed a lot of the same things. Like it's just a 172, lots of extra circuit breakers for the first extra equipment, and don't stress about getting exactly 1800 on run up with the digital readouts.
That is very true. My instructor started me in the left seat day one. So, I really needed some basic training before I even got in the cockpit. Thanks again :)
That's why I'm here too lol. It's my favorite plane in the game for cruising around. I thought they would have had a tutorial in the game but this is even better!
Excellent video! Your camera positions, the zoom-ins, your pointers are just were I would put my eyes. Good instructor using demonstrations as a tool to teach. Excellent student ;-) asking the right questions. There are many good G1000 courses out there (Garmin, Sporty's, King Schools), but they are not as enjoyable to watch as your "real time" video. How about filming the use of G1000 in the IFR system, after you get your instrument rating? A hangar flying video, with a G1000 question/answere session would be nice too. Keeping Flight Chops sharp in Norway! ;-)
***** No, I wish! Picture from a local airshow. Neighbour and colleague flies these amazing machines. He has his own Bücker Jungman. He flies the P51 Old Crow, an T-6 Harvard and more.
Really informative stuff, and excellent editing. I'm starting flight school this July and I'll be flying 1 of 14 g1000 c172s at my flight school. hopefully though I'll spend some time with their older c172 with steam gauges. I think I would rather learn on the steam gauges, but it just wasn't in the cards for me.
Appreciate the video. I have a lot of time in 172's, but not in one with glass panel. That would be a great airplane for a long cross country, especially in IFR. I want. LOL
At 3:45 the question is asked how does the G1000 know where the (wet) compass is at? The instructor said there’s something inside it (wet compass) that knows (tells the G1000). This is misleading, or at the very least, unclear. There is a remote compass that is wired into the G1000 avionics box to tell it what heading to display on the PFD HSI. The wet compass has no input functionality.
You do not turn off the ALT Master switch. Lot of people does that and is incorrect. Show me where in the POH says to cycle the ALT Switch . You just turn lights or move flaps to see if the ammeter is working. Flipping the ALT create spikes that can damage avionics.
Great video. I've got over 200 hours in a G1000. It's a fantastic piece of equipment but completely unnecessary in small, piston-powered aircraft. If you're a student pilot, you should be concentrating on learning how to fly, not operating the PFD/MFD. I had a lot of trouble keeping my eyes outside when flying. I'd take round dials and a 430/530. In my opinion, that's the most enjoyable setup.
I know this is an old comment, but in my opinion, if anything the new technology helps with some of the younger guys. It's a lot more natural to look at, and is easy enough to get around and actually helps with flying. That's just what I've noticed though, obviously it's different for everyone.
fl a re I read an article the other day about how using a modern-day GPS to navigate doesn't exercise certain parts of our brain and, in effect, dumbs us down. I believe the same philosophy applies to new students using the latest and greatest electronic equipment to learn. If you learn to fly using the bare minimum, you'll always have those skills to rely upon when yhe fancy equipment fails on you. And, it will fail. it has happened to me and many others. In the long run, it doesn't help at all. You may feel this way at first but, in time, you will realize that if you can't fly with the basics, you can't fly at all.
Couldn't agree with you more!! Don't get me wrong this video is very well done and I came here to learn how the G1000 (or more generally GPS navigation) meshes in with instrument flying. What does it do for you?, what remains? (for instance, do waypoints, such as flying VOR to VOR still exist? or do we simply fly a DIRECT route between one airport to another etc.). These things are important to understand, as GPS is becoming the dominant way of navigating as time goes by. However, as you rightly pointed out, I believe student pilots SHOULD learn to fly in "steam gauge" aircraft, where the emphasis is on MASTERING THE BASICS OF *FLYING* . Basic stick are rudder skills are the most important thing in the world at this stage! I'm a student pilot with about 60 total, including 10ish solo, and am glad I'm doing it the old fashioned way in a bare bones basic C152!!! 😃
Just found your channel and after watching a few videos, I made the decision to start from the beginning. Curious why, in your outro, the SUBSCRIBE has 7,496,859 beside it. What does that number represent because your actual subscriber as or May 2017 is 100k. Thanks for the videos and keep up to good work
+Bill Anderson - thanks! Welcome to the channel! Enjoy the now 100+ back catalog episodes! As for the old videos having the 7M sub count, it was a joke - I photoshopped that image at a time when there were a couple hundred subscribers. I never had any expectations that the channel would even get more than 1,000 subs.
Hey I like your videos, just a couple of things. Perhaps the instructor should brush up on Electrical System, it becomes very important with all the electronics in need for power. It is not a 20 volts system as he says, it's 28. We can se that on the Main and Essential Bus before he kills the Alt. Also, the transponder switches to ALT mode when passing 30KIAS not 45. One last thing, touching the screens the way he's doing it...bad habit with the G1000, they're not that easy to clean. Thanks for your job doing this videos!
Luciano Bianco Thanks, and agreed about touching the screen - it was driving me CRAZY :P and I was thinking if owned this plane, there'd be some hand slapping going on :)
Awesome video - what are the SD card slots located to the right of the PFD for? Can you load flight plans with it or capture data from the engine analyzer/GPS?
Database and system software updates just as @at1357 mentioned. Top slot is used for importing and exporting flight plans, Flight Data Logging, and loading nav database updates. Bottom slot of each display contains a "Garmin Supplemental Data Card" which is used for storing the various databases. You gotta realize not all SD cards are compatible with the G1000. We have to use SD cards supplied by Garmin or the aircraft manufacturer.
Oh boy. I'm 19 and I have plus 60 hours in a G1000 172. Almost to my CFI. Playing with the electrical loads on the alternator is nottttt good at all. And so are dirty fingers :)
False, the battery (and standby battery in the G1000 configuration) are designed to take up the electrical load if your alternator would fail. It would actually be in your best interest during the run up check to test if the battery will work properly in the event an alternator failure would occur & if the alternator will provide a sufficient charge after re-engaging the field.
You are correct. But we check the standby battery.....with the standby battery test switch! And we can check if the alternator is working by seeing if the busses indicate a charge, and if there is no low volt, or high volt annunciators.
Hey flight chops, does this G1000 not have a "engine >> lean" tab? My DA40 i trained it, when we would lean the plane, we would go to the lean profile & and add a new lean profile.. sorry if this is confusing
People do that, as part of a complete retrofit and rebuild. In fact avionics upgrades (whether to glass cockpit or not) have been common as long as aviation has existed.
Oh, my goodness....who's been putting their grubby fingers all over those beautiful screens??! They need a placard that says "NOT A TOUCHSCREEN. KEEP YOUR FINGERS OFF OUR GLASS!"
I've been training on a g1000 for a few weeks and it takes some getting used to. A couple of little tricks to help you out that my CFI told me is if your checking to see if the Alternator is charging just cycle between 0 and 10 deg flaps quickly and you can see an instant fluctuation of the charging instead of turning on all the lights and pitot heat.

Just my 2 cents. ! Love the videos, very informative!!
Completely agree. Much more efficient to just toggle flaps
Holding down the COMM button to automatically get 121.5 comes/ inherited from the G430.
you can try on the flap trick on steam gauge too. good stuff. every little bit helps.. thanks
Flying the G1000 with an instructor for the first time tomorrow. I'm only familiar with the P, R, and S models.....and J3 cub. The G1000 seems a little intimidating since I've never flown one. But this video is a perfect intro. This video is from 2014, but please know that it's still relevant for people poking around the internet for intel on new flight experiences! Thanks Steve!
Awesome! Thanks for this feedback!
Same here! It’s new to us!
Honestly, one of the best videos on the G1000. Giving some real-world descriptions, and not some technical junk.
I'm a 16 year old student pilot and I've been used to flying the Grumman AA-1 for six years so I was ooo-ing and ahhh-ing throughout the whole video. My school went out of business and now I have to start flying Cessnas.
TheDamienwashere I learned to fly in a AA-1A/B and loved flying them.

Being able to program an IFR flight on the ground is so simple and easy, and a great way to get and stay ahead of the airplane in actual IFR conditions with the aid of auto pilot if you’re single pilot IFR.
HSI is slaved to the magnetometer, not the mag compass. Other than that, great vid.
thank you, i was wondering how nobody else noticed that
Awesome! The instruments are easy to interpret. This makes IFR flying much easier.
I instruct in G1000 Skyhawks, and this man was incorrect as far as the HSI goes. It is in no way connected to the compass. There is a magnetometer in the wing that the HSI gets its heading info from
DR compass
I want to like but I must not disturb the number.
Great video, Chops. I'll be flying G1000 for the first time this weekend. Looking forward to it. I know, welcome to decade old avionics technology!
Rod Boone awesome! Enjoy the training!
You'll love it! I'm glad I trained in the traditional six packs and didn't get spoiled with the G1000 off the bat, but man was it nice once I flew and got comfortable with the G1000!
cool yeah, and agreed - I am happy to have learned initially on steam gauges; I think it is harder to go the other way from glass to steam.
***** I agree as well. But it's harder to go back to steam. Be careful to keep your head outside and not on the glass. Be safe.
I had my first flight with a G1000 172 last week. They are pretty cool but take some getting used to. Steam gauges are faster tio look at but once you start getting used to it the like altitude seem easier. Not that it matters I won't be able to afford anything like that when I purchase a plane.

Man, I've only been watching your videos for a week, and you're without doubt the best TH-cam aviator I've seen. I love your video format and self critique. Keep up the great work!
Awesome thanks! Glad you're getting something out of them - I really appreciate comments like these - they keep me motivated to make more videos.

Awesome videos! I fly the 172 NAVIII myself, it's a nice plane!
i have been in a DA40 with the G1000 in it and it was very cool how the everything was on the 2 screens
Its awesome how my checkout stressed a lot of the same things. Like it's just a 172, lots of extra circuit breakers for the first extra equipment, and don't stress about getting exactly 1800 on run up with the digital readouts.
This is very helpful. Just watching this trains me so when I am actually in the plane.. I'm not fumbling around trying to find things.
Chrisstian an airplane is a terrible classroom. Learning all you can before you hop in is best.
That is very true. My instructor started me in the left seat day one. So, I really needed some basic training before I even got in the cockpit. Thanks again :)
Very helpful for me to play Microsoft Flight Simulator... thank you my mate!
That's why I'm here too lol. It's my favorite plane in the game for cruising around. I thought they would have had a tutorial in the game but this is even better!

These technical videos are great.

As always, another GREAT video tutorial! Thank you for sharing!
The angle of the left (shoulder) camera to level would have been good, also wipe the finger prints from both screens would also be nice.
Some seriously great editing! And informative to boot.
Another excellent informative video! This has been very helpful as I'm due to take my first flight in a G1000 equipped 172 tomorrow.
That was cool.
I applaud your proficiency.
I am just about to upgrade to a G1000 and the vid was very helpful...
Very well illustrated .
well done video on the G1000!!!
Very good video! Lots of information and asking a lot of questions was good to hear!
Just got back in the plane after 6 yrs, learning the g1000 is fantastic, would like to see instruction on dial use.
Great information. Straight to the point.
It's as simple as it gets. Just another C172 with the "funky" displays.
Cool post!

I always like watching your video's.... Great Job as Always!!...
Great tutorial!
wow i could actually say i enjoyed this video and it was very informative, great job
***** You seem surprised that it was entertaining? :P Was it the thumbnail and the fact that most G1000 vids are boring?
***** lol yes its the fact that most g1000 vids are boring lol

I was flying one of these this week, a nice plane :)
Great video!!!
good video, informative but PLEASE clean the finger smudges from the PFD/MFD screens...no need to touch the screens, they aren't touch screens...
THANK YOU
johnf3305 I can’t help but think of the old saying from childhood: “look with your eyes, not with your hands.” That glass was gross.
Get a pen and use the opposite end for pointing
Stop touching the screens!!
What! Smudges? It's show time...of course you're going to poke the screen while showing us all the cool features. I'm okay with that.
This is a great video, right?! Love the content my man. Great stuff.
Good. More such video please
Im switching over to the G-1000 in my flight school.
You should see if you can get a ride in what the US calls an LSA (light sport aircraft), one that has a Dynon SkyView glass panel.
Awesome man! now all you need is an ATC language course.
ROFLMAO!! 😃 ....very true!
Nice overview video! Thanks.
You do not turn off the ALT Master switch. Lot of people does that and is incorrect. Show me where in the POH says to cycle the ALT Switch .
You just turn lights or move flaps to see if the ammeter is working. Flipping the ALT create spikes that can damage avionics.

lolz, love how a non glass 172 now is by definition a 'standard steam'.
The "Magic" number for the transponder is 30 kts groundspeed
Great video
That's almost like the 737-800 I fly on my sim it has an all glass cotpit with stand by instrument that's pretty cool
its nothing like pmdg.
Very good job
Thank you for the video!!!
Happy to share - glad you liked it
Nice Job.
very helpful, thanks.
great indepth video
very educative, thanks
Great job. Thank you
thank you sir very good,
So many fingerprints for a non touch panel. :)

Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you for the infos.
Where you at?? Canada somewhere. I flew out of Brampton.
Cool thanx
Request permission to use this in a Mtce Training Program...Please advise if ok.
I fly a Diamond star that has a G1000 with Synthetic Vision.
Awesome video - what are the SD card slots located to the right of the PFD for? Can you load flight plans with it or capture data from the engine analyzer/GPS?
I think that's how it works, but I'm a G1000 newbie at this point - I'll have to get back to you on that :)
They're also used for database updates...
Database and system software updates just as @at1357 mentioned.
Top slot is used for importing and exporting flight plans, Flight
Data Logging, and loading nav database updates. Bottom slot of each display contains a "Garmin Supplemental Data Card" which is used for storing the various databases.
You gotta realize not all SD cards are compatible with the G1000. We have to use SD cards supplied by Garmin or the aircraft manufacturer.
@@FlightChops I think that is how you load the database.
Should you need time in the regular steam gage c172R before flying the G1000?
Step one: Take a drink every time he says “right”. Step two: Pass out.
Oh boy. I'm 19 and I have plus 60 hours in a G1000 172. Almost to my CFI. Playing with the electrical loads on the alternator is nottttt good at all. And so are dirty fingers :)

You are correct. But we check the standby battery.....with the standby battery test switch! And we can check if the alternator is working by seeing if the busses indicate a charge, and if there is no low volt, or high volt annunciators.
Hey flight chops, does this G1000 not have a "engine >> lean" tab? My DA40 i trained it, when we would lean the plane, we would go to the lean profile & and add a new lean profile..
sorry if this is confusing
3:50 isnt that line suposed to be the turn coordinator indicator...??
Thanks
G1000 rocks :)
An EFIS is an Electronic Flight Instrument System, not Information System.
Anyway to connect ForeFlight from your ipad
Hi. Where can i find AGL altitude please?
Can you upgrade the cockpit on old planes? For example the old 172 with new panel?
People do that, as part of a complete retrofit and rebuild. In fact avionics upgrades (whether to glass cockpit or not) have been common as long as aviation has existed.
My 172s/sp checklist has shut off the electrical equipment. what's the electrical equipment? Thanks
Usually just the lights (except beacon).
Can you take a 172, place that into it, If so, How long
Oh, my goodness....who's been putting their grubby fingers all over those beautiful screens??! They need a placard that says "NOT A TOUCHSCREEN. KEEP YOUR FINGERS OFF OUR GLASS!"
Right? Right?
Can the g1000 work with 3 screens
