"For pilots who think they understand today's GPS. Do you REALLY use all those fancy functions of your GPS? You've probably mastered the "Direct To" button, maybe played with the "FPL" function once or twice, and not much else. Right? Here's your chance to really use your GPS to its full potential, and discover pitfalls very few pilots know about. This free, premier live ASF Seminar will take you beyond "Direct To". This all new ASF Safety Seminar includes: All about GPS virtues and vices: Some commonality, lots of confusion. How to use your VFR GPS legally while flying on instruments. Avoiding GPS misdirection when ATC suddenly changes your clearance. How ATC expects you to use GPS in the new airspace system. Coping with new GPS instrument approaches. They're different! Ways to avoid embarrassing yourself when your GPS goes south. How to escape the Going Perfect Straight (GPS) crash syndrome. This new seminar also includes a tantalizing look at all-glass cockpits now available in several production aircraft. By the time this 2-hour live seminar is over, you'll be ready to exercise your new-found knowledge of modern navigation, and ready to really use your GPS beyond just "Direct To".
