Garmin GNS 530 / 430

Certainly one of the most innovative products is the Garmin GNS 530 and 430 IFR certified GPS/Nav/Com. These systems include a vast amount of capabilities, including full color moving map and MFD capabilities. However, the highly capable nature of this new equipment also creates an overload of information that some pilots are having difficulty absorbing. While the 200 plus page Garmin Pilot's Guide should be utilized in the cockpit as a reference, it leaves much room for improvement when training pilots on the efficient use of the GNS 530/430.

Conceptual -vs- Rote Training

Deploying a conceptual approach to training, the ElectronicFlight CompleteLearning Garmin GPS Navigation module represents a breakthrough in effective GPS education. In the past, much of the GPS training concentrated on memorizing lengthy procedures, a rote approach. In studies looking into the effect of rote training on long term recall and problem solving, the rote method falls short in preparing the pilot to solve problems or work new processes into the ever-changing environment of aviation. Conceptual training, on the other hand, provides the tools that allow the creation of new procedures on the fly, to solve the problem at hand.

Teaching Common Tasks

To achieve the goal of conceptual training, the CompleteLearning Garmin GPS Navigation module teaches common tasks using a building block approach. By teaching common tasks, the individual tasks can be combined to form any procedure. Therefore, the pilot only needs to learn a few common tasks and also the reasoning behind the use of those tasks. If the pilot knows the reasoning behind the individual tasks, combining those tasks together is easy.

CompleteLearning Features



  • The CompleteLearning methodology also offers the following features:

  • Tests knowledge as you go 

  • Always offers a hint if you don’t know what to do 

  • Correlation to familiar instrument charts 

  • Offers the step by step procedure to practice what you’ve learned. 


    The ElectronicFlight CD-ROM also contains the Garmin simulator for the GNS 530 and 430.



  • Teaching Control Philosophy

    The training teaches the philosophy behind every button and function. It also teaches how to navigate through the various screens of the Garmin GPS. This gives a pilot the tools to perform any function, even functions that were not intended by the engineers that created the GPS. The conceptual approach to training is different than typical training methods, but the research into the way people really learn has found that conceptual techniques are superior for problem solving and memory retention.

    Conceptual Tools

    The GPS Satellite section thoroughly explains the GPS satellite system and what it means to a pilot. Using highly graphical animations to explain complex concepts in simple terms, it provides basic knowledge of a GPS system that applies to any GPS, not just the Garmin GNS 530/430. 

    The GPS training program provides the tools to answer your own questions. Instead of “What is the procedure to do …?”, the tools allow a pilot to just answer the question at hand. This process is actually very quick. Once through this mental exercise the first time, the effort exerted to accomplish the lengthy task actually forces the knowledge directly into long-term memory. Much better than just dumping a procedure into short-term memory and hoping it eventually works its way into long-term memory after multiple practice sessions.
