On August 27, 2026, Dean presented Common Advanced Avionics Errors at the FAAST Team meeting, held at the SLC Training Center, 1911 N 2200 W, Salt Lake City.
Brief Description:
As avionics have become more sophisticated with the evolution of the Garmin 430/530, 1000, 600, and Perspective systems, the need for an understanding of their operation, and pitfalls is warranted.
The session reviewed potential operational errors regarding:
- NAV Sources
- Sequencing v. Suspend function
- Approach Briefings
- Approach Modes
- Flight Director – friend or foe
- AP and FMS Limitations
Thank you to everyone who attended and shared their own experiences with these systems.
