Garmin G1000

we can just look at the tail it always is on a two indication so we can always look at the back and be like we're on the 295 radial ish if you want to use that one however you do it's up to you i tend to use the green one But that's up to you.

It's been a big learning curve on top of the radio and everything else is just the G1000.

And, you know, not exactly getting a chance to interact with the G1000 in the sim versus being able to actually, you know, now have to, hey, bug your heading, bug your altitude, you know.

Where are we? What radio are we on? How far are we from the station? How far are we from the airport? All of those things where it's like, how do I manipulate this so that I can actually use it?

Looks like there are two aircraft coming towards us, but I don't

A lot of stuff sometimes in the sim is tactile in real life.

You know, like even for anybody that's from the 172, the G1000 stuff, right? It's a pain in the ass to use two-layered knobs and twist to go through things.

So we have some of that that manifests itself here in the Proline 21.

Marlon is going to show you how we solved

Glass cockpits in Cessna 172s changed the way instrument training works.

Garmin's G1000 suite required flight schools to rethink their ground training programs because students were arriving at instrument check rides with a mental model built on analog instruments and then being asked to fly glass.

The military is grappling with the same transition at the high performance end.

How do you build aircrew who think natively in a fifth-generation cockpit? The T-7A is the Air Force's answer to that question.

For that airplane, yeah.

And when you say it was all manual, you mean what? What's that mean to somebody today who gets in a G1000, Cessna 172, and...

Yeah, when I say all manual, I mean, not only are you manually hand flying the airplane, you have no guidance.

It's all raw data.

But the Cirrus has a great autopilot and flight management system.

So you've got your entire flight plan loaded into their version of the G1000, and it's all working fine.

Yep.

Yeah.

This airplane is designed to feel premium, and it earns that designation without requiring the passenger to lower their expectations.

The avionics on current P2010 TDI models are Garmin G1000 NXi.

If you're not familiar with the NXi, it is the current generation of Garmin's integrated flight deck, with updated processing, better map display, and improved synthetic vision compared to the original G1000.

In a 2022 aircraft, you're getting current avionics straight from the factory, not a retrofit that somebody did in a hangar.

Know where your number lands and compare honestly across those options.

What does the investment buy you in the P2010 TDI? Here's how I'd inventory it.

A modern composite airframe with the structural longevity and corrosion resistance that comes with materials that do not behave like aluminum, a diesel power plant tied to the most available aviation fuel on the planet, factory-installed Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, a high-wing platform that is stable, visible, and honest in its handling, a cabin that will not embarrass you when you put a passenger in it, and a fuel story that is on the right side of where the industry is heading.

For an owner-pilot doing meaningful cross-country distances on a regular basis, the P2010 TDI makes a coherent case.

Yeah

... we have a C and a G1000, which is better, but-

Yeah.
