- Who benefits? Student pilots, instrument students, commercial candidates, and rated pilots maintaining currency
- What regulation? Hours logged under 14 CFR Part 61
| Pilot Certificate & Rating | Max AATD Hours |
|---|---|
| Private Pilot License | 2.5 Hrs |
| Instrument Rating | 20 Hrs |
| Combined PPL & IR | 20 Hrs |
| Commercial Pilot License | 50 Hrs |

How Accurate Is This Simulator?
Our simulator uses the Garmin G1000 PC Trainer -- the actual Garmin software, not a third-party recreation. Every feature works identically to the real airplane.
- Our software: Garmin G1000 PC Trainer -- the actual Garmin application, not a lookalike
- Other brands: Build their own software that visually resembles the G1000 but uses different FMS logic
- Why it matters: Every G1000 feature -- VNAV, autopilot, procedure loading -- behaves exactly like the real airplane
- Result: Training transfers directly because the software is the same
Authentic VNAV Logic
- Advisory descents and VNAV target altitudes work as Garmin designed them
- Vertical deviation indicators and descent path calculations are real
- Behavior matches what pilots experience in G1000-equipped aircraft
Real Garmin Navigation Database
- Nav data comes from Garmin, not a third party
- Procedures, waypoints, airways, and frequencies match real aircraft
- Training transfers directly because the data is the same
Worldwide Jeppesen Charts & Procedures
- Terminal procedures, approach plates, SIDs, STARs for airports globally
- Fly procedures in Spain, England, Dubai, Colombia, Mexico, and beyond
- Not limited to US-only data like many training devices
Real-Time EFB Integration
- Aircraft position syncs across G1000, iPad (ForeFlight/Garmin Pilot), and instructor monitor
- Simulator outputs the same data a real aircraft would
- Practice your actual EFB workflow, identical to flying
Full Approach Procedure Library
- Load and fly ILS, RNAV/LPV, VOR, localizer, and NDB approaches
- Procedure loading, activation, and course guidance use real Garmin logic
- Practice exactly as you would in the airplane
Dual G1000 Displays Working Together

- Practice your actual EFB workflow
IFR Approaches
- ILS, RNAV/LPV, VOR, localizer, and NDB approaches
- Full procedure loading and activation using real Garmin logic
- Practice missed approaches, holds, and course intercepts
Aircraft Control
- Flaps, trim, power settings, and configuration changes
- Checklists, standardized flows, and workload management
- Practice from taxi to shutdown in a controlled environment
Flight Planning
- Build flight plans on the G1000 -- route selection, airways, waypoints
- Fuel calculations, weather analysis, and alternate planning
- Real-world scenarios with actual Garmin navigation data
What Aircraft Can You Fly?
Over 20 aircraft configurations -- select your aircraft, and the simulator loads the G1000 software specific to that airframe
- What changes? Each aircraft has its own G1000 configuration -- different engine instruments, system pages, and performance data specific to that airframe
- How do you switch? Select the aircraft, adjust the throttle quadrant, and the G1000 boots with that aircraft's software -- just like powering up the real airplane
- Why it matters: You train on the exact G1000 layout you'll fly, so the cockpit feels familiar before you get in the real aircraft
