My school is getting an Elite G1000 Simulator in about a week. This is a great sim that features an actual Garmin G1000 unit and is enclosed like their RC-1 simulator. I will post some pics as soon as it is set up.
In preparation for using this and doing some instruction in it I have been reading the newly updated Garmin G1000 Glass Cockpit Handbook by Max Trescott. This has been a great help in getting up to speed on this unit.
His writing style is very easy to read and the book features plenty of images that help with understanding each chapter. This book is great for a pilot who is looking to get checked out in an airplane with the G1000. It will save at least a few hours of instruction by getting you familiar with location of all of the switches and location of information on the two displays. If you already have some G1000 experience the book gives you some excellent pointers on how to avoid some common user errors.
This book is available from several sources online and at Pilotstore.com!
