Here at Sporty's Academy in Batavia, Ohio, you can learn everything you need to know about the Garmin G1000 to fly it under VFR or IFR. You will see how quickly superior avionics can provide you with the information you need for a successful flight.
More than just a course on button pushing, our program will provide real world tips and short cuts on the operation of the G1000. You will learn to use the system to its fullest extent without getting bogged down by unnecessary clutter.
The Sporty's Academy curriculum uses a combination of software simulation, in-cockpit ground simulation, and in flight scenarios to help you master the system with minimum time and cost.

@mooneyexecutive You are kidding, right? Steam gauges are the basis of aviation. Student pilots these days who jump right into a G1000 and never see a steam gauge will be completely lost the day their screens go blank. IMC is not where you want to find out that you're not proficient on steam gauges.

@TheTopBloke local flight school rents a 172 out for 85 bucks an hour, of course its an older model from the 1970's but its a nice aircraft and its well maintained. you dont need a skyhawk sp. the 172 they rent out also has a GPS so it has some modern equipment.

@ad356 Where are you getting a 172 SP for $120?!?!

@mooneyexecutive
aircraft equipped with "steam gauges" work just fine. $70/hour for a well maintained 152 or $120+/hour for a skyhawk SP G1000. let me think, the 152 is going to get me my license just the same. the G1000 is nice but it just isnt necessary. its an added expense and would push flying right out of my affordability. i'll stick with the good ol' 152 and older 172's after i get my license. i will do all of my training with the 152
