January 30, 2019, Urbana, IL – Frasca International, Inc. Announces that they have partnered with Garmin to integrate Real Garmin G1000 NXi software into their new Frasca RTD™ (Reconfigurable Training Device). This is a first in the simulation industry and required extensive collaboration between Frasca and Garmin to ensure that Frasca’s simulation software and Garmin’s G1000 NXi software operate in harmony. The Frasca RTD is approved by the FAA as an Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) and features Frasca’s advanced aerodynamic software using flight test data, a browser/web based instructor station, and convincing out the window visual graphics for a realistic flying experience. In addition, Frasca designed the RTD using robust hardware for reliability and ease of maintenance, while being easily reconfigurable between different aircraft models including the Cessna 172 and Piper Seminole as well as between analog instrumentation and G1000 NXi glass cockpit.
Frasca has partnered with Garmin to integrate real Garmin G1000 NXi software into the new Frasca RTD (Reconfigurable Training Device). According to Frasca officials, this is a first in the simulation industry and required extensive collaboration between Frasca and Garmin to ensure that Frasca’s simulation software and Garmin’s G1000 NXi software operate in harmony. The Garmin G1000 training software simulates the behavior of the G1000 system to help you learn the basic operation of the system. The G1000 simulator.
The RTD can be ordered with a single visual display or multiple channel displays for wrap-around, high-definition visuals. By incorporating Real Garmin G1000 NXi software in the Frasca RTD, users can be assured that they are learning correct procedures and habits as all of the menu selections and button pushes are performed in the RTD the same as in the aircraft. Until now, lower cost simulators relied on imitated G1000NXi software which lacks the fidelity and realism of the real G1000 NXi. When a simulator is different from the aircraft, the pilot performs tasks differently than in the aircraft, resulting in negative training (which is noted in the FAA’s Aviation Instructor’s Handbook). To ensure positive transfer of training, Frasca incorporated real Garmin G1000 NXi software in the RTD which provides realistic simulation and safe training. G1000 NXi software also enables the Frasca RTD to include Garmin’s newest features such as Synthetic Vision Technology with its 3-dimensional “pathway” view, Terrain Awareness and Warning System, as well as WAAS (LPV, LNAV/VNAV and Glide Paths) and easily updatable navigation databases.
“Working with Garmin to integrate the G1000 NXi software in to our RTD has enabled us to provide an AATD with excellent transfer of training to our customers.” Stated John Frasca, President of Frasca International. “We have been integrating Garmin avionics into our FTDs and FFSs for years and being able to offer that in our lower cost products is truly ground breaking.” Pricing for the Frasca RTD starts at $58,000, then varies depending on aircraft configurations and options.

Garmin G1000 PC Trainer for Cessna NAV III Overview: The G1000 Trainer simulates the behavior of the G1000 system interface and provides you with a safer environment to learn the basic operation of the system. Verified Purchase Great G1000 Training Tool. By JP from Heartland, USA on Friday, June 02, 2017.
Pros: Amazing capability; beats having to go to an actual G1000 equipped plane if just starting to learn. Review: I do not understand some of the complaints. Folks, this is not a flight simulator.
It is, as its name suggests, a G1000 trainer software to help you get familiarize with the G1000. Yes, you can set yourself up in the air so that you may practice using the device, learn its features, etc.
You may control your altitude, speed and heading via your keyboard, or a joystick if it is connected to your computer. The software is not going to behave like a plane because, again, IT IS NOT A FLIGHT SIMULATOR. Manual not needed - lots of videos on YouTube to show you how to use the G1000. Verified Purchase Installing the G1000 Trainer on Windows 10 Based Systems. By Al from B16 on Saturday, January 28, 2017. Pros: Gives you 'No Cost' ground time to learn the G1000.
Review: So the Garmin G1000 Simulator/trainer can be successfully loaded and run on Windows 10 based system. It takes less the 5 minutes to install. The auto installation will not directly run if the disk is just place in the CD drive.
It requires the following steps. Place disk in CD Drive. Use the 'File Explore' option to see the files on the CD. Click on the 'Install Folder' to see the files within.
Now the trick. You need to 'Right Click' on the 'Cessna NAVIII Trainer vXX.XX' (This install was v13.02) Now click on 'Trouble Shoot Compatibility'. Then choose 'Trouble Shoot Program' Choose 'Program ran on earlier versions of Windows But wont run or install now' Choose Windows 8. Choose 'Test the Program' NOW Look at the lower portion of your screen.
You will/should see two(?) or more installation shield warning from Windows 10. Choose YES for all the shield warnings You are getting close now! The Cessna NAVIII program will be requesting that you accept the terms, etc. 'I Agree' Make sure you choose all the components / aircraft you want. Including 'Flight Charts' located at the bottom of the list. You will then get to choose where you want the files installed.
I suggest you just let the program decide. Go to the installed files location. If you chose the default file locations.
You will find the Cessna trainer in the 'Program Files (x86)'. Open the Cessna folder. Copy and past the 'StartDualScreen' file, located at near the bottom of the file listing onto the Desk Top. And you 99% there!!!
When you click on the desktop icon. You will get the MFD and PFD. It depends on your set up. I use two monitors and setup the screens like the aircraft. MFD on the right.
ONE MORE TRICK. The only place I can find to initially 'Resize' the MFD and PFD is in the upper LEFT corner of the two displays. The program should be closed by 'Right Clicking' on the taskbar dual Cessna icons on the bottom of the computer screen, and choosing 'Close all windows.' This way when the program is restarted the original screen locations will be preserved. There you go. Running Windows 10 Home. G100 Trainer: v13.02 Using and with full functionality.
Fly's great with the above. And via the AP.
There may be slight variation in your installation. But 99% of the above should be the process. Al N522CS - 182T. Verified Purchase Meh. Pretty poor interface makes training super slow and boring. By A Customer from Palo Alto CA USA on Monday, December 12, 2016. Pros:.
Review: Two stars because, I suppose, it works. You have to use the mouse to click on knobs to tune, so entering a 5 letter checkpoint, e.g. VPSUN or ALTAM is incredibly slow. At least on the real thing you can turn the knobs faster. They could have allowed the keyboard to tune the knobs etc, but don't.
To use the sim, you have no reference to the ground other than the g1000 instrument. Yes, this is by design, but the inability to integrate with FSX or some other flight sim makes it pretty tough to actually practice. The aircraft 'model' has no concept of velocity or how an AC performs, so you can go super fast or slow down to zero.
Summary: I found reading the manual for an hour to be fare more enjoyable.and. valuable for my g1000 transition than this sim. Verified Purchase Garmin1000's guide through the enigma - v 13.02.
By Wilfried Markus from Spiez BE Switzerland on Monday, July 27, 2015. Pros: Provides an excellent synopsis. Review: Overall.an excellent tool! A MUST before any real flight.
Particularly the 'Pilot's Training Guide' including lessons 1 - 13. A small number of functions are not simulated: The 'Audio Panel' (which I regret) and a few others of secondary importance. The section of Arrival-Approach-MAP- and H-procedures is not sufficiently explained - neither is (e.g.) the 'Closest Point Of Flight Plan'. A few more detailed exercises/examples would be a great help. Summary: best value for the price!
I shall buy any new version of it. Great G1000 Training Tool.
By JP from Heartland, USA on Friday, June 02, 2017. Pros: Amazing capability; beats having to go to an actual G1000 equipped plane if just starting to learn. Cons: Wish it could be integrated to a sim software like Microsoft Flight Simulator. But, again, the sim software may not support it either. Review: I do not understand some of the complaints.

Pros: It does actually appear to work. Cons: Setup doesn't work for Windows 10. Review: It wouldn't install using the normal Setup.exe in the CD base Folder.
It did install when I did this: - Open the Install Folder - Right-Click Cessna NAVIII G1000 Trainer v10.00.exe - Run as Administrator The first time I ran it it hung up, after that it seems to be ok. I hope that helps.
