King Schools Offers Free Garmin GTN 650/750 Course Preview

King Schools was in the midst of transitioning many of its popular flight training courses to HD video a couple of years ago when it had the opportunity to partner with Garmin to fill an important niche. The avionics company had introduced its own GTN 650/750 course, “GTN Essentials,” and it wanted to reach a broader audience. King Schools had seen a lot of success with its G1000 and GNS 430/530 courses, and it wanted to continue offering training in that vein.

As it turns out, the Garmin course fit well into the King Schools learning management system, according to King Schools' CEO Barry Knuttila, and at EAA AirVenture 2019 the two companies announced the addition of G5000 and weather radar courses to complement the series. In the meantime, King Schools has launched into the development of its own GTN 650/750 course, delving into the content in a way that fits into the King Schools training methodology.
