Where/How to learn more about Glass Cockpits/FMS

[Beacon Final]

My situation is changing I may need to join the 21st and learn about FMS and glasscockpit stuff

After a long long google search i have come up with very little.

Do any of you know of a book or website or video series that explains all this stuff? It would be nice to get an edge on this before any potential ground schools.

Thanks

I too have been looking. The only thing I found was an online FMS fundamentals course from flightsafety. $465 so I passed.

While its always good to get a head start on any course, I wouldn't get to worried about the transition. Glass cockpits are very user friendly. FMS can vary quite a bit from one to the next but generally are pretty easy to use once you figure out where the information is.

Have fun. Soon you'll have trouble remembering how you ever flew without it!!
