Join DPA on a fully escorted trip with Jim Parker’s Caribbean Flying Adventures to Cape Santa Maria Resort Nov 15-18, 2024 for an unforgettable escape:

• Private Airstrip: Fly directly to our nearby airstrip with ease.

• Luxury Accommodations: Stay in beachfront bungalows with stunning ocean views.

If you’ve always wanted to fly yourself to the Bahamas, but have been unsure about the overwater flight in a single-engine airplane, then this is the trip for you.  I flew my DA40 with Jim Parker and 32 other aircraft (C172, C182, Bonanza, Lancair, Meridian, Aerostar, Cirrus and many other types) to Cape Santa Maria last November and it was a BLAST!

PIREP: X-Plane and the G1000 NXi Desktop Trainer

The Garmin G1000 is the heart of most Diamond Aircraft, particularly if you are flying IFR. The NXi version of the G1000 is even more sophisticated with additional features.

To fully understand the capabilities of this avionics package while safely on the ground and not burning fuel, a desktop simulator complete with replica displays and controls is a helpful training aid. With the computing power available today, their graphic cards, both off-the-shelf and unique software, and a G1000 hardware replica, a powerful training aid can be created to learn and practice the features of the G1000 and the NXi version.
