Good Morning Fellas,

 

I just placed the new Carenado CT182T in my hangar and I really do like it. I am unfamiliar with the G1000 system however. I would very much appreciate some comments or guidance regarding which documentation I should study to help me become familiar with this particular aircraft's G1000..

 

I have located both the 'Garmin G1000 Integrated Flight Deck Cockpit Reference Guide' and the 'G1000 By Don Kuhn' pdf guide files.

 

Of course I have examined the Carenado G1000 documentation however I am hoping someone can direct me to some additional documentation that further and more specifically explains the workings of the particular G1000 that Carenado has placed in this aircraft.

 

I appreciate your time and consideration!

You can download a manual here:

Thank you , Sir. I have included the above link in my database. I appreciate your expeditious response.

I'm afraid that you are going to find that Carenado left out a lot of functionality

in their implementation of the G1000. You cannot create or modify flightplans,

for example... so the real world documentation will be both interesting and at the

same time frustrating.. The kindest description I can think of, is to call it a G1000 LITE.

 

If you are looking for a "serious" implementation of the G1000, you'll have to spend a few more dollars and get the Flight1 version.

Thanks, Bert.

 

I agree. I appreciate your comments.

Hello Bert, just a quick question: how serious is the Flight1 G1000? If you say is pretty serious, then I'll get the Flight1, thanks for your precious hint

With the exception of the Flight1 182, it seems that most developers don't find it feasible to implement a fully functional glass flight deck. I would expect that their pricing would have to be much closer to that of the airliners that have full FMS implemented. And perhaps they don't feel that it would be worth it or maybe not sell as well. Reality XP has done some nice work with the Garmin GNS430 and 530 building off of the Garmin trainer software. It would be nice to see more units from them. The Flight1 182 is good and it also has an updatable database via Navigraph.

Flight 1 G1000 is the real deal.. you can use it to learn the real G1000. I would not use any other for a simple reason, I don't want to confuse myself when I am behind a real G1000. so I avoid anything else like the plague.

Understood, that is what I wanted to know, many many thanks

Wow, didn't know its database is updateable via Navigraph, that's good to know, thanks for the info!
