You are likely very aware that flying behind avionics you are not familiar with is not only frustrating but also a major barrier to safe flight, particularly if you are flying IFR. To help its customers take maximum advantage of all the features in its popular touch-screen navigators, flight display systems and integrated flight decks, Garmin has added new classes online and on-site at its company headquarters in Olathe, Kansas.

Live classes are available for the GTN 650/750 touch-screen navigators and G500/G600 flight display systems. This course costs $625, runs over a two-day period and teaches the students how to fly with this Garmin avionics combination in everyday situations. The course is available March 19-20, April 23-24, May 16-17, June 18-19, September 17-18, October 22-23 and November 12-13.
