Touch ... What?I fly behind a Garmin G1000 and found Frank Bowlins October article, Multiple Approaches to be of interest. Although he wrote the article about the GTN navigators, I found that most of what he offered does work in a G1000. However, one statement left me confused.

Key Takeaways:

  • Garmin's GTN series navigators are touch-screen operated, clarifying that "touching" a flight plan element means selecting it, unlike other G1000 systems.
  • Effective and safe air traffic control (ATC) relies on pilots and controllers working together as a team, using calm, clear communication to address situations.
  • Pilots often underestimate the significant motion (yawing, bouncing, turbulence) passengers experience in the back of small aircraft, which can be unsettling for non-pilots.
  • A pilot flying under BasicMed cannot legally serve as a safety pilot under current regulations, as BasicMed coverage applies only to Pilot In Command (PIC) duties.
