G1000 Training Program Handbook






January 2010 Rev. I





CESSNA FITS ACCEPTED INSTRUCTOR (CFAI) DESIGNATION OVERVIEW

The Cessna FITS Accepted Instructor (CFAI) designation allows a designated certified
flight instructor to provide Cessna FITS accepted G1000 transition training to Cessna
customers and Cessna rental pilots worldwide. The instructor must remain affiliated
with a Cessna Pilot Center (CPC) or Cessna Sales Team Authorized Representative
(CSTAR). If the CFAI conducts G1000 Transition Training in conjunction with the sale
of an aircraft, the CPC or CSTAR is then given the monetary training entitlement
provided for each aircraft. Factory trained CFAIs are not allowed to train CFAIs in the
field.

The CFAI designation is not required to instruct in G1000-equipped aircraft for aircraft
owners or rental pilots. It is only required to teach the Cessna FITS Accepted Course,
provide FITS completion certificates, and to train Cessna customers for factory
reimbursement.

To obtain this designation, the CFAI must do the following:
1. Complete the G1000 Transition Training Course and CFAI Course. This includes
both the required ground and flight training. The CFAI must obtain the highest
desired learning outcome level for each task and demonstrate proficiency and
knowledge on each task.
2. Return the FAA Industry Training Standard (FITS) Scenario Based Transition
Syllabus and Standards for the Cessna Single Engine Propeller Aircraft complete
with sample scenarios for the area in which the majority of training will take place
to the designated representative of the Pilot Training Department.

To retain this designation, the CFAI must do the following:
3. Maintain the CFAI Proficiency Program Subscription. This fee is due in January
of each year and is good for 12 calendar months. The CFAI will be notified of the
fee structure and subscription format options for the following year in January.
4. Notify the Pilot Training Department immediately regarding changes in
employment status or personal information.

The CFAI designation can be upgraded to a CFAI+ (plus) status. This indicates that the
CFAI may teach the Nav III G1000 Transition course as well as the FITS accepted
Corvalis Transition course, both at the Independence Factory. The Plus designation
requires factory training on these aircraft as well as materials specific to that course.
CFAIs without the Plus designation may not teach this course for the certificate or
reimbursement unless Cessna Pilot Training indicates they are a CFAI+.

CESSNA NAV III TRANSITION COURSE OVERVIEW

The ground-training segment is conducted with the assistance of the Cessna FITS
Accepted Training Program and the Garmin G1000 PC-Based Trainer. Time spent
during an instructor-led PIM review and cockpit familiarization session may also count
towards total ground training required. The flight training segment is completed with the
guidance of the FAA Industry Training Standard (FITS) Scenario Based Transition
Syllabus and Standards for the Cessna Single Engine Propeller Aircraft and the scripted
scenarios developed by the CFAI and accepted by the Cessna Pilot Training
Department in Independence.

The purposed of this training program is to familiarize the Pilot in Training (PT) with the
functionality of the G1000 and aircraft systems. This program is not intended to be
instruction for general aircraft operation or substitute for any obligation by the operator
to be competent and knowledgeable in the operation of the aircraft or any installed
components.

The goals of the FITS Training Philosophy in priority of importance are as follows:
1. Higher Order Thinking
a. Aeronautical Decision Making and Situational Awareness
b. Pattern Recognition (Emergency Procedures) and Decision Making
2. Automation Competence
3. Planning and Execution
4. Procedural Knowledge
5. Psychomotor skills
January 2010 Rev. I Cessna Aircraft Company 3





COMPLETION REQUIREMENTS

***Please reference Programmed Training Hours for the number of hours required for
the completion of ground and flight training

Discretion of the CFAI is required during ground training to determine that the PT is at
an appropriate knowledge level after completion of the appropriate ground module. The
PT should demonstrate the ability to explain the fundamental concepts and procedures
covered in the previous ground module.

The objective of scenario-based flight training is to initiate a change in the thought
processes, habits and behaviors of the students during the planning and execution of
each scenario. The flight-training segment of the Cessna NAV III Transition Training
Program is completed once the PT has achieved an appropriate level of proficiency for
each task on each scenario.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION FOR FITS CERTIFICATE

Once training is completed, the CFAI must submit the following paperwork:
Learner-Centered Grading Syllabus with signatures of both the CFAI and the
Pilot in Training (PT).
Completed Customer Information and Record of Training form with contact
information for the PT. IF YOU ARE REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT
AVAILABLE WITH THE SALE OF THE AIRCRAFT, PLEASE INCLUDE THE
SERIAL NUMBER IN THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER AND SPECIFY,
REIMBURSEMENT REQUESTED.
Optional: Training survey with applicable comments and suggestions from both
parties.

January 2010 Rev. I Cessna Aircraft Company 4
LEARNER-CENTERED GRADING FORM
Desired Pilot in Training (PT) Scenario Outcomes

Maneuver Grades (Tasks)
o Explain - at the completion of the scenario the PT will be able to describe the
scenario activity and understand the underlying concepts, principles, and
procedures that comprise the activity. Significant instructor effort will be
required to successfully execute the maneuver.
o Practice - at the completion of the scenario the PT will be able to plan and
execute the scenario activity. Coaching and / or assistance from the CFI will
correct minor deviations and errors identified by the CFI.
o Perform - at the completion of the scenario, the PT will be able to perform the
activity without assistance from the CFI. Errors and deviations will be identified
and corrected by the PT in an expeditious manner. At no time will the
successful completion of the activity be in doubt. Perform will be used to
signify that the PT is satisfactorily demonstrating proficiency in traditional
piloting and systems operation skills.
Single Pilot Resource Management (SRM) Grades
o Explain the PT can verbally identify, describe, and understand the risks
inherent in the flight scenario. The student will need to be prompted to identify
risks and make more decisions.
o Practice the PT is able to identify, understand, and apply SRM principles to
the actual flight situation. Coaching, instruction, and / or assistance from the
CFI will quickly correct minor deviations and errors identified by the CFI. The
student will be an active decision maker.
o Manage / Decide the PT can correctly gather the most important data
available both within and outside the cockpit, identify possible course of action,
evaluate the risk inherent in each course of action, and make the appropriate
decision. Instructor intervention is not required for the safe completion of the
flight.

FAILURE SIMULATION METHODS
Cessna does not recommend pulling breakers as a means to simulate failures on the
Garmin G1000. Pulling breakers or using them as switches has the potential to
weaken the breaker to a point where it may not perform its intended function. Using
breakers as switches is also discouraged in Advisory Circulars 120-80, 23-17B, and
43.13-1B. Additionally, a breaker may be powering other equipment (like avionics
cooling fans) that could affect the safe operation of other equipment.

Failure to simulate Examiner action Applicant Action
Loss of AHRS and
ADC* (simulates the
loss of all primary flight
instrumentation)
Press the menu key on the Primary flight
display, or PFD. AUTO is highlighted in the
PFD DSPL field. If AUTO is not
highlighted, activate the cursor by pressing
the Flight Management System knob, or
FMS knob. Turn the large, outer knob to
move the cursor to the AUTO field. Turn
the small, inner FMS knob towards the
green arrow to select MANUAL. The cursor
will move to the percentage field. Turn the
small, inner FMS knob counter-clockwise;
adjust the backlit value to 0.14%, the
lowest value. By pressing CLR and then
enter with cursor on this field, this will
happen instantly.
An alternate method of simulating the loss
of AHRS and ADC is to place a mask over
the affected information on the PFD. When
using this method one should avoid placing
anything directly on the PFD screen which
could damage the anti-glare coating on the
screen.
Control the aircraft by
reference to the
backup attitude,
altitude, and airspeed
indicators.
January 2010 Rev. I Cessna Aircraft Company 23


Loss of PFD Press the Display Backup button on the
lower portion of the audio panel. Press the
Menu key on the MFD and use the method
described above to dim the PFD.

Control the aircraft by
reference to the MFD
in reversionary mode
(This failure will
result in a loss of the
GFC 700 AP and FD)

Loss of MFD Press the Display Backup button on the
lower portion of the audio panel. Press the
Menu key on the MFD. Use the large,
outer FMS knob to move the cursor to the
AUTO field adjacent MFD DSPL. Use the
procedures above to dim the MFD.
Control the aircraft by
reference to the PFD
in reversionary mode

*Note: The simulated loss of the AHRS and ADC individually cannot be accomplished in
the Cessna Nav III. In this simulated manner, the applicant must navigate the aircraft
on a desired course during enroute or approach operations with the use of the moving
map display. The applicant or examiner may select the cross track (XTK) data bar field
option on the MFD to determine more precisely the horizontal distance from the desired
active leg.

Below: The following picture is an example of the instrument cover/mask that can be
used to simulate the previously discussed abnormal conditions. This cover is placed
over the NAV and COM frequency selector knobs. It is located on the Program Disk.

Distance from center of COM knob, to center
of NAV knob is 10 5/16 inches.
