Garmin GTN Trainer for Positive User Reviews
✓ A Handy TrainerThis is essentially the same product available for free at the Garmin site, but having a more portable iPad version is handy. It's very beneficial to explore all the options on the couch when you can really absorb the details. A little pricey, but I say worth the situational awareness. I currently, use the GTN 650..Version: 1.1.1
✓ One step away from perfectAuthentic functionality great use for budding pilots , Feature rich too To Garmin developers , please add support for a tie in to Lockheeds Martin Prepar3D flight simulation training software. A app designed to send the the position speed etc to the console over wifi , would be fantastic. Please please do this...... and you will make many students very happy.Version: 6.41.0
✓ Good for what it's intended for.I like this app, as it allows me to explore all the different buttons and sub menus of my GTN 650, from the comfort of my easy chair. I am particularly glad this new version lets you choose a GTN 650 interface, whereas the old version you were stuck with just the 750..Version: 6.41.0
✓ A great learning aidIt can be tough to learn a new radio and fly the helicopter at the same time. This was a huge help. I was able to learn and practice relevant features so I didn’t have to think about them in the air..Version: 6.62.2
✓ ExcellentThis is a superb tool. Wish Garmin had something similar for other equipment. Nonetheless I highly recommend this to anyone installing or considering a GTN system..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Need the 6.50 or 6.51 updateIt would be so nice if we could get the app updated to the actual version that is currently be used. The current version is over a year old..Version: 6.41.0
✓ OS 11Hello since I have downloaded OS11this excellent app does not seem to be working Am I missing something? J.Version: 6.0.3
✓ Does support the 650This app is a useful learning tool for the GTN series. One point of clarification, this does support the 650. It defaults to the 750, but you can change it in the settings. (Settings App->GTN Trainer).Version: 6.0.2
✓ Advantageously Flying the Garmin GTNWith the 6.41 version of this trainer when you open it you are presented with a selections screen for Model [GTN 650 or GTN 750], Navigation Database [Garmin (N.America) or Jeppesen (Worldwide)], ☑️ Show Flight Controls, Aircraft Type [Fixed-Wing or Rotorcraft], and Continue. With the flight controls ticked, after pressing the Continue button you are presented with the model that you have selected. Left of the model is the IAS (speed)+&-. Right of the model is the ALT (altitude)+&-. Immediately below the model is the HDG (heading)+&-. To the left of HDG is Track Mode Manual and when pressed replaces HDG with Track Mode Flight Plan. Congratulations Garmin for using +&- controls and not sliders for the flight simulator. Also note that both IAS and ALT commence at zero, and the screen touch equals Apple in sensitivity and accuracy. When you close the trainer and reopen it again, it will still be in the part of the world where you left it last. We have NDB and VOR gauges because we have the corresponding networks that they work with. In my locality that’s not the case with numerous navigation aids being replaced with GPS waypoints. As a consequence of this aircraft and trainers that rely on NDB and VOR for flying and training will experience a gradual degrading of their usefulness. GPS commenced at 2D GoTo, where today with the Garmin GTN trainer and instrument have progressed into the GPS 3D stage with Visual Approach Guidance providing both horizontal and vertical alignment approaches to all sorts of airfields and airports. NOTAMS: All horizontal navigation can be automatic. Visual, LNAV+V, VCALC, and Ascent / Descent are the only Procedures that work vertically automatically. Ascent / Descent will always work vertically automatically with HDG selected, and TRK Mode only if an Arrival HAS NOT BEEN LOADED with an Approach Procedure. You can load an Arrival and use Visual when it activates for the Approach, and you can load an Approach where an Arrival is not available. Think of this one as resetting your altimeter. After you commence descent with VCALC to a target altitude, use ALT to reset it to the target altitude. Also after you commence descent with any of the automatic procedures on approach, use ALT to reset them to the field altitude. For either of these descents the consequence of not resetting ALT is when your Aircraft has finished descending it will climb again. If the topography screen goes black, just touch home and map to reset, also to pause the simulator, enter Demo, NAV, and Time Scale and select 0x -Freeze Position. I am impressed with frequencies identifying in relation to their GPS location, however while in cruise at level altitude I noted a VOR which was within 200 nm had not identified. The workaround I found was to enter Demo, GPS, and Solution. In Solution I selected No SOLN and then received a MSG which I cleared. I then selected Solution again and selected my original setting 3D DIFF, and then returned to the Map where my VOR had identified. I tried this Solution again on an LNAV+V approach and immediately received an APPROACH DOWNGRADE with an LNAV result and numerous TERRAIN icons and warnings. It’s one thing to have a simulation of an instrument only where you can just play with the controls, and another where with a flight simulator, experience dynamic actions and reactions. Regarding reactions, when on an automatic descent and adjusting speed the program immediately reacts by readjusting the angle of descent, and no matter what, you arrive at your target waypoint and altitude together. Programming accuracy can also be seen after you have landed with an automatic approach, zoom in and even with the narrowness of runways your aircraft is dead in the centre of the runway over the centreline. You know this app is free, but if you have not downloaded it yet, it is also free of adds. I suggest when you download this app, you also download from Garmin the “Cockpit Reference Guide”, and the “Pilot’s Guide” for both the 650 and 750 models. In the guide’s front pages there is a title “Product Registration and Support” heading with a table of revisions below where you should find “Updates for software v6.30” is the Guide you require. Flying a Cirrus SR22 at 30000 ft at 500 knots is not exactly realistic, and with this app having a top speed of 990, altitude 99,900 and time scale of up to 15x, Garmin could you please add to this simulator the Turboprop icon (that looks more swept wing than the single engine jet) for a jet and the High-Wing Prop to complete the immersion experience. In conclusion thanks to Jeppesen for graciously providing the Worldwide Navigation Database for this simulator, and Garmin for graciously supplying free of cost a cutting-edge instrument simulator. Happy Flying..Version: 6.41.0
✓ Excellent way to learnJust spent two days on this program mastering the GTN. Book at my side, iPad to play on. What a great asset to those wishing to become proficient. Do not understand the objections regarding restart on leaving program. Flight plans and position can be saved. And as a teaching tool, the more of its functions you use, the more it has achieved it's purpose..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Great TrainerI use it all the time for recurrence training, you ca even practice the approach procedure on this app to get familiar with the local areas that you will fly the next day. Highly recommending it fo pilots that will fly aircraft equipped with gtn750..Version: 6.41.0
✓ GTN TRAINERExcellent simulator. Aside from data base age, the simulator behaves exactly like the real unit, great way to learn its use before climbing in your airplane. As a highly experienced Master Flight Instructor with over 8,000 flight hours and thousands of hours in glass, I can vouch for this app unequivocally!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Excellent for RNAV I can’t fly ILSI can make the simulator fly RNAV all day but when I try to fly an ILS even after I tunes the correct frequency in the navigation side and have it fly on auto pilot it will not descend. VLOC is being displayed and I’ve loaded and activated the approach It will not to descend on auto pilot it will if you change the altitude while flying in manual mode but this doesn’t make any sense because you should be able to fly in auto pilot and change your altitude and have it follow. Overall a great app I just wish it would fly the ILS and hopefully I’m not doing something wrong..Version: 6.62.2
✓ Problems with iOS11Crashes when opening app. Will start after several attempts. Hope they update to current features..Version: 6.0.3
✓ What it does, it does well.I recently started flying an airplane equipped with a GTN 750. Having this trainer saved me a lot of time, money and embarrassment. One thing I’d like to see is a second radio option displayed on the audio panel. Being able to train new users how to switch from one radio to another without needing to turn on the plane’s master switch..Version: 6.72.0
✓ Very Worth it!!I found this trainer to be simply amazing. Would highly recommend anyone get this program if you are looking at getting a GTN. I have had no problems with the program losing it's place if I switch out of it and come back..Version: 3.0.0
✓ New update is niceI'm hoping Garmin is working on an update that will allow two iPads connected somehow over or Bluetooth...so we can run GTN trainer on one iPad and TXi trainer on the other and have them work together like in the airplane. Now that would be awesome training!.Version: 6.41.0
✓ Perfect training toolWorks exactly like the real box. Great trainer for those new to the GTN boxes..Version: 6.0.3
✓ Slick on an iPad miniYou can't beat this for the money. A simulator of this high fidelity, for only 25 bucks. It's a pilot dream! I would gladly pay another $10 in-app purchase for the ability to sync this with X-Plane..Version: 3.1.0
