Welcome To Avionics West of Tennessee
        .....Putting Our Customer's First

As many of you know, Avionics West of Tennessee host two-day training classes on the GNS 430 and GNS 530 here in our shop.  Each table has a working GNS 430 or 530 in front of the students and they receive a lot of hands on experience.  The problem is many of you just can't take the time to attend our two-day class for some reason or another.   I ran across training manuals for the below products and after reviewing the content found these basic training manuals an excellent tool not only for the beginner but for the GPS owner who may not utilize all the nice features their GPS contains. I've been teaching GPS classes for years and found these manuals easy to read and well written.  If you can't attend one of our classes, then I'd highly recommend purchasing one of these fine training ZD Publishing, Inc. (Chelton Manual by Keith Thomassen) training  manuals.  Why not all the nice features your panel mounted GPS contains? For more information click the panel mounted GPS you are interested in.

"GNS 430, How to Operate it"

Although the manual that comes with the unit explains quite well what the unit is capable of doing, our guide concentrates on how to do each specific task. While the GNS 430 is an extremely capable unit I felt its learning curve was too steep. Out of necessity I began learning the EASIEST way to accomplish any task. All of the basic navigation tasks, from Direct-To Operations to Emergency Returns are covered. This document contains not only the basic operations but also describes all the pages and what they are used for. The table of contents, combined with the task-oriented format, make this manual an invaluable, easy to use, reference for the user. Whether you are an experienced user or a novice at GPS operations this manual has something for you.

Whether you are an experienced user or a novice at GPS operations, this manual has something for you.
