We all recognize that transition training is important before hopping into a new airplane, or airplane type. Whether in the clouds or in clear skies, flying a new plane is not the right time to be learning how to operate aircraft avionics and systems. We at Dynon recognize this, and offer an ongoing series of hands-on training. These are three hour courses, sitting in front of live SkyView equipment, and learning in depth how to operate your avionics. Instructing these classes will be Kirk Kleinholz, CFII and Sales Account Manager for Dynon Avionics.
The next classes are being held at our factory near Seattle, Washington. The classes are free, but please do sign up so we know you are coming. If you are from out of town and want to make a weekend of it, nearby are some incredible aviation sites. The Seattle Museum of Flight, Paul Allen's Flying Heritage Collection (perfectly restored, flight worthy WWII aircraft), and the Boeing Factory Tour (747s, 777s, and 787s) are must sees.

Class Description:
This class will introduce pilots to most ground and in-flight operational features of the Dynon Avionics SkyView system. In-depth discussion of installation and initial configuration of the system is not an objective of this class, though some of those concepts will be addressed where relevant.
An additional objective of this class is to educate pilots about the process of transitioning from analog instrumentation to glass panel systems in a small GA aircraft. Including the cognitive differences of analog and digital/electronic instrumentation, cockpit resource management, etc.
Transportation:
Attendees are responsible for their own transportation to/from the event. However, for anyone wishing to fly via GA to one of the area airports, upon request special arrangements may be made to assist with ground transportation.
