Ground Session
GARMIN AVIONICS
GROUND SESSION
N500GM is equipped with a full Garmin glass cockpit — GTN 750Xi, G500 TXi, and GFC 600 autopilot. If you haven't flown this suite before, we offer a dedicated ground session to walk through every screen, button, and flow before you ever leave the ground.
This session is separate from the standard Ground Briefing and is recommended for any pilot who is new to the Garmin avionics suite. One flat fee, no surprises — just confidence in the cockpit.
What We Cover
GTN 750Xi — IFR Navigation
Hands-on training with the Garmin GTN 750Xi: loading airways, approaches, alternate airports, and in-flight re-routing — exactly how it's done on real IFR flights.
G500 TXi — Primary Flight Display
Learn to read and configure the G500 TXi glass cockpit, including synthetic vision, map overlays, traffic, and weather integration.
GFC 600 Autopilot
Understand how to engage and manage the Garmin GFC 600 autopilot — altitude preselect, VNAV, approach coupling, and when to hand-fly instead.
COM/NAV & GTR 225 Radios
Set up frequencies, activate standby, manage ATIS, CTAF, and approach control — so there's no fumbling with the radios once you're in the air.
Weather & Traffic Overlays
Interpret XM weather, SiriusXM FIS-B, ADS-B traffic, and NEXRAD radar through the avionics suite to make go/no-go and route decisions in the air.
Checklists & Normal Flows
Walk through the complete avionics startup flow and in-flight checklist sequences so every scan feels natural before the first engine start.
The Garmin Ground Session is available to all pilots prior to their first flight. Mention it when you submit your inquiry and we'll schedule it alongside your logbook review.
Why Twin Time
MORE THAN JUST
LOGGING HOURS
Plenty of pilots have a lot of hours. The ones who stand out have hours that mean something. Our process is designed to build genuine skill, professional habits, and real-world experience — not just numbers in a logbook.
Structured, Not Casual
Every flight follows a defined briefing and debrief structure. You'll build habits that airlines and charter operators expect — not just hours.
Real Routes, Real IFR
We fly actual cross-country and overnight routes. You'll file IFR flight plans, navigate airways, and handle real ATC — not just pattern laps.
Baron B55 — A Real Airplane
The Beechcraft Baron B55 is a high-performance twin that demands real skill. Time here carries weight on any aviation resume.
Beverly Regional Airport
KBVY is an ideal base — Class D airspace, professional FBO, and quick access to Class B airspace for meaningful IFR training.
One-on-One Attention
This isn't a flight school with 40 students. Your schedule and training plan are built around you and your goals.
Safety First, Always
No shortcuts. No pressure. If conditions aren't right, we don't fly. Building hours shouldn't mean building bad habits.
