The Commander 200G Docking Station is designed to accept either the Garmin GNS430 or the GNS530.  Simply slide your Garmin 430 or 530 into the rack and turn on the unit.  By placing the Garmin GPS within the docking station it is automatically programmed to operate in the "Demo" mode (demo mode can NOT be wired to operate in the aircraft).  Now you can be in the comfort of your home and learn all there is to know about the Garmin product.  Give the unit a ground speed, enter a waypoint and now you are flying just as if the GPS was installed in the aircraft.  You'll see Special Use Airspace such as Restricted Areas, and Class B, C and sorts.  You'll see the course line to the next waypoint and will be able to get airport information as you fly along.  

Call up any approach while at home and get used to flying it, yes the GPS will actually fly the approach just as in the aircraft when installed in this docking station.  I can't think of a better way to become accustom to an approach you'll be shooting in the next day or so.  The GPS also allow the use of "OBS" button and you can watch the "Suspend" light illuminate when you reach the final point or enter the holding pattern.

Another good use of the docking station is it allows you to program in your flight plans at home and enter user defined waypoints and check list.  If you can't attend one or our Hands-On training classes, I'd highly recommend  purchasing our Docking Station; there's no better way to learn your complex Garmin 430/530.

CNX80/GNS480 Docking Station

So you recently had a new GNS480 installed in the family Flying Machine; only problem is you haven't a clue as to how it operates.  Don't feel alone, you and hundreds of other pilots have the same problem.  If you can't find the time to take our CNX80 one-day training class, then I'd highly recommend purchasing the CNX80 docking station.  

Simply remove the CNX80/GNS480 from the aircraft, slide into the quality docking station, hook up the supplied power cable from the built-in power converter, plug in the wall and now you're ready to fly the CNX80 from the comforts of your home.  Guaranteed to be safer and cheaper than learning the CNX80 while flying.

Put the CNX80/GNS480 into the "Demo", give it and airspeed and a place to go and now you're off!  Install flight plans, practice approaches; you can do just about anything in the docking station that you can do in the air at a fraction of the cost.  Once you are through practicing, just remove the unit from the docking station and carefully reinstall in the aircraft.  All of your flight plans and other data will stay inside the unit ready to use your next flight.  The CNX80 is a very complex unit and requires training from someone who knows the unit.  But if you can't attend a training class, this docking station will aid in coming up to speed on the CNX80.  If you haven't flown for sometime, just remove the CNX80 at anytime from the aircraft and practice up.  (CNX80 Not Included)
