AOPA is now offering online interactive courses on the Offers Garmin 430 GPS and Garmin 530 GPS GPSMap systems.
This self-paced, 15-minute online course is the first in a series of AOPA Air Safety Foundation minicourses on various panel-mount GPS units. Unlike traditional training courses, it focuses on the few functions regularly used by a typical pilot in VFR flight. It includes a free PDF quick-reference card to carry with you in the cockpit—perfect for the VFR renter pilot.
The course will teach
- the basic VFR functions of the Garmin 430/530
- Comm and VHF Nav radio tuning
- GPS waypoint selection
- nearest airport and basic moving map functions
