Garmin TXi Essentials course lets pilots learn at their own pace
Designed for pilots new to the system, experienced pilots looking for recurrent training on their avionics or pilots returning to flying after some time off, Garmin's TXi course offers best practices for operational use.

Garmin International has launched the TXi Essentials 2.0 eLearning course, a new pilot training opportunity that provides comprehensive instruction on fundamental operation of the TXi touchscreen flight display. Designed for pilots new to the system, experienced pilots looking for recurrent training on their avionics or pilots returning to flying after some time off, this updated course offers best practices for operational use, including instruction on features included in recent software updates as well as the many other capabilities and benefits of the TXi flight displays.

With the TXi Essentials 2.0 eLearning course, pilots receive in-depth instruction to better prepare for flights through scenario-based training intended to build understanding and proficiency with TXi flight displays. Using a computer, tablet or smartphone connected to the internet, pilots can access the courseware immediately through the eLearning platform.

The course allows pilots to learn at their own pace. With this flexibility, pilots can pause lessons as needed and return later to complete the lesson at any time. For continued learning or to quickly refresh on key topics, pilots can retake specific lessons or even the entire course at any time during the two-year subscription period. When used in combination with the free TXi PC trainer or TXi Trainer App available for download on the Apple App Store, this course gives pilots a way to become familiar or remain proficient with system features before a flight.
