INTEGRATED NAVIGATION SYSTEMS

GS-GM GPS Navigation - Garmin 530/430 Training Program

Certainly one of the most innovative products is the Garmin GNS 530 and 430 IFR certified GPS/Nav/Com. However, the highly capable nature of this new equipment also creates an overload of information that some pilots are having difficulty absorbing. Deploying a conceptual approach to training, the ElectronicFlight CompleteLearning™ Garmin 530/430 GPS Navigation module represents a breakthrough in effective GPS education. In the past, much of the GPS training concentrated on memorizing lengthy procedures, a rote approach. Conceptual training, on the other hand, provides the tools that allow the creation of new procedures on the fly, to solve the problem at hand. The CompleteLearning™ Garmin GPS Navigation module teaches common tasks using a building block approach. By teaching common tasks, the individual tasks can be combined to form any procedure. Therefore, the pilot only needs to learn a few common tasks and also the reasoning behind the use of those tasks. No more endless and complicated procedures to learn, and forget, just a few small procedures that are retained in memory much longer.

The ElectronicFlight CompleteLearning™ Avionics Software Library educates GA and corporate pilots, flight instructors and avionics technicians in making the transition from VOR's and NDB's to full state-of-the art integrated cockpit automation of almost every avionics type. The PC-based multi-media rich interactive programs are designed to make the learning experience enjoyable as well as effective.

HOT TIP!! Special training in avionics operation by an experienced instructor or through computer based training is the best way to learn the all the capabilities of your new equipment.

CompleteLearning™ Weather Awareness Training Program

In-Flight Weather Displays Inadvertent weather encounters still account for a great number of aviation accidents. Much of the cause of those accidents is the lack of timely local weather information in the cockpit. Radar, lightning detectors and now Data-link NEXRAD systems can provide the necessary weather information in real-time (or slightly delayed with Data-link). Unfortunately, the complete weather picture is often missing or difficult to obtain from a single source. Additionally, the interpretation of in-flight weather information relies on experience or many hours of training. To assist and encourage the use of these systems, ElectronicFlight Solutions offers a three-volume CompleteLearning™ Weather Module that trains pilots to use and interpret the weather information from these systems.

Volume I of the Weather Module highlights the two lightning detection systems, the Goodrich (L-3) Stormscope® and Insight StrikeFinder®. The overall general theory of thunderstorms and lightning detection is explained before progressing into the specifics of strike interpretation.

The training implants the knowledge of lightning strike symbology, thunderstorm depiction, weather environment interpretation, limitations, operation modes and the formulation of weather avoidance strategies. ElectronicFlight Solutions deploys computer-generated animation and highly interactive exercises to implant mental models (pictures) of the StrikeFinder® and Stormscope® capabilities into the working knowledge of a pilot, thus providing the tools to formulate an integrated weather avoidance strategy. The knowledge of lightning detection methodology, plus the provided practice of computer emulators, allow the capabilities of the system to be integrated into the decision making process.

Upon completion of the training, a student will be able to: Discriminate between active and passive weather detection. List the three stages in a thunderstorm's lifecycle. List the three types of lightning. Describe the method of lightning detection methodology. Describe the inputs and outputs of a typical lightning avoidance system. Recall a mental image of lightning detection symbology. Describe the two cell display types and their use. Describe a lightning detector self-test sequence. Recall a mental image of the display control layout. Formulate strategies for weather avoidance using a lightning display. Incorporate lightning detection into decision strategies. Recount the limitations of lightning detection and much more.
