Garmin 430W GPS NAV/COMM
BSU Aviation is utilizing the Garmin GNS 430W throughout the entire fleet of training aircraft. This is a great situational awareness tool and combines navigation and communication equipment into one, user friendly unit. It can be a bit confusing to operate at first, so we recommend that you get familiar with its features.

You can download free user guides, practice simulators, training videos and more right off the Garmin website. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=301  . Familiarizing yourself with the 430 will save you time and money once you are training in the aircraft. Less time will be spent pressing buttons while you are paying for the aircraft and instructor.

Also, the Aviation Training Center has a Garmin 430 simulator incorporated into one of our basic, desk top training devices. Contact your flight instructor or Bill Heerman, the BSU Sim Coordinator, for more information and scheduling.
