INTRODUCTION In flight schools, flying clubs and aircraft rental organizations, pilots are often required to learn how to operate the vari- ous types and makes of avionics installed in the rental fleet. In most cases, no specific training is provided on this equip- ment other than for rudimentary operation and minimum functions; in some cases no training is provided at all. In modern aircraft, a number of new navigation techniques and pieces of equipment are available that are designed to enha

HOME STUDY HOME STUDY GNS 530/430 Home Study 8 (cont.) Last but not least, the use of GPS (particularly that of mapping units) opens up new worlds of possibility in maintain- ing situational awareness and in helping to reduce the navigational workload when deviating from an established flight plan. Many pilots focus on the need to enter a waypoint first before they deviate. In reality, pilots should refer to the map display when possible and commence a turn-away from the dangerous situation

FLIGHT ORIENTATION FLIGHT ORIENTATION GNS 530/430 Flight Orientation The sample lessons are scenario-based and will allow the instructor to maximize the impact of the training with the student, while combining a number of elements into a single flight. An example of a scenario-based training flight would start off with an instrument departure then transition to the en-route portion of the flight. During this portion of the flight, standard air work maneuvers may be completed, such as stalls
