Private Pilot Resources - Aviation Blog

I obtained my private pilot license in 2006. This site is dedicated to capturing little gems of knowlege I collected during training. Periodically I add items I find during research so that others might benefit from them. Please review the disclaimer at the bottom of this page.

VFR Garmin 403/530 Minicourse

I wasn't quite ready to shell out quite a bit of money to buy a full blown Garmin GPS training CD so I was quite happy to find that AOPA put out a nice little training piece that refreshes the very basic functions like direct to, nearest, dialing COM and NAV frequencies and how to look up some of the most common information. All for free.

AOPA Online - VFR GPS Guide: Garmin 403/530 Minicourse

A helpful quick reference is posted here

Garmin made a GNS430 simulator available which can be installed for practice on any PC.

My club's 172SP has a KLN94 installed. A reference manual (User Guide) for it is linked here.

While I'm at it I'm also linking to the manual for the KAP 140 autopilot.
