This is the most comprehensive and clear review of the G1000 I have seen. I have been flying with the G1000 for some time, but didn't even know some of the features until I watched this video. Thank you!!

Fifty years of aviation - Commercial Certificate - Where were you when I was in my earlier training days? Your videos are the best, easy to follow, voice is great and speed is perfect. Good Presentation and I look forward to all of your videos. Thanks

[gorillaglue]

Wow, this felt like a powerpoint presentation in a paid learning environment. Thanks for this video, I can tell you are very passionate and knowledgeable about this subject!

[TonyDyrsmid]

Thank you for a very clear and concise approach using the G1000. I am a retired twin auto pilot from back in the 70s in northern Alberta and I am finding this new stuff very intriguing. Please keep the videos coming.

[antoniogoodgod]

Your tutorials are really the best I’ve ever seen. You’re doing an exceptional work for all aviation pilots. Great and exceeding for flight simulator pilots.

[elmarbartel]

Incredible, most professional, amazingly helpful. Thank you so

[GregsPC]

what a super training video! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Finished it the entire video, I will probably watch again as a refresher. Two thumbs up, Alpha!

[badney]

Can't help but say, as a long-time pilot....that's some excellent instruction just got into an A/C with this unit, and you have helped me immensely!

[dismaldunc]

this is great, thanks so much for taking the time to put this together, proper professional presentation.

[ialjuna]

One of the best tutorials I have seen, you did a fantastic job 👏

[flashsolutions]

Thank you for that very thorough run down of the G1000. I learned a lot.

[johneshoffnerjr]

This is one of the best training aids that I've seen in 60 years of aviation as an ATP, CFII, MEI, Part 135 Check airmen. I fully disagree with comment about newcomers!. If you plan on piloting ANYTHING in the future, keep this video sequence close by. Good job Alpha.

[dakotadrone]

Well that was very educational. Thanks for taking the time to put that together and post it. I can't wait to see what I learn from part 2 & 3 now, thanks!

[bobowzki]

One of the best videos I've ever come across!

[peterford]

This tutorial set of videos is exactly what I have been looking for, really excellent job, many thanks 😊

[ancientmonotheism]

Had long break from FSX (and also FS9). Getting back to msfs. Will watch this for sure to recall some of the basics

[thejoshuatree]

Thank you AH, after seeing this masterclass I feel like a true pilot. 😊

[resolution-zxjr]

You should publish a book based on your videos. It will sell like crazy because it will be easier to digest.
Also it would be very helpful to non pilots who want to fly an airline simulating an actual commercial flight to show a video, or better something in print, to start with an airline flight from takeoff to ILS landing in GREAT detail. Include everything to show what all those buttons and knobs are for.

[mateuszmista]

I am not sure if Garmin would be able to make a better video about their own system. Great job. All the best to you :)

[Tristan.J.C]

What a great video, thank you so much! I need to have a lie down now before Pt.2 and the NXI tutorials! 😅
