Get the one book that tells pilots what they need to know to safely fly using a modern GPS receiver and autopilot. Most books treat GPS as a subtopic and don't tell everything you need to know about using GPS. Max Trescott's GPS and WAAS Instrument Flying Handbook recognizes that GPS is at the center of modern cockpits and not just add-on equipment. Designed for both VFR and IFR pilots, this book tells you what you need to know to safely operate modern GPS systems including detailed, step-by-step instructions for the Bendix\/King KLN 94, Garmin GNS 430, 430W, 480, 530, 530W and G900X, G1000 and Perspective glass cockpits.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: small;\"\u003eModern technology is rapidly changing the avionics used in new Beechcraft, Cessna, Cirrus, Diamond, Mooney, Pilatus, Piper, TBM and other General Aviation aircraft. However the complexity of GA cockpits has increased to the point where pilots now need separate GPS and autopilot training. Operating the equipment is not intuitive and safety dictates that pilots understand how to get the most out of a modern GPS receiver.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: small;\"\u003eMax Trescott's latest book takes the reader through the details of how GPS and WAAS, the Wide Area Augmentation System, operate. Then he gives detailed instructions for operating the most popular panel mounted GPS. He explores common misconceptions such as the myth of \"activating the approach\" and why you never need to do it. He also explains the new WAAS minimums: LPV, LNAV\/VNAV, LNAV, LNAV+V, and LP and why checking RAIM no longer matters with a WAAS-capable GPS receiver.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: small;\"\u003eExperienced pilots may be surprised to learn why you should always load an approach with an IAF-even when receiving vectors to final.
