Building on the success of ELITE’s “round-gauge” PI-135 Basic ATD, the PI-1000 provides incredible training fidelity for Garmin G1000 users. This FAA-approved AATD uses LCD screens and realistic bezels to provide the best simulated G1000 panels available on the market! A key feature is the ability to perform WAAS approaches, and it simulates the Garmin GFC 700 autopilot. The PI-1000 also includes the required back-up instrumentation for realistic training. Using the Lockheed Martin® Prepar3D™ visual, you’ll be flying the PI-1000 in one of the most beautiful scenery software available. This is a commercially licensed visual—so you know you won’t be violating any laws while training. Like the G1000, this system provides training for simple and complex aircraft, and single-engine and twin engine aircraft! The simulated G1000 software changes reference speeds, engine/propeller instrumentation, and fuel management depending on the aircraft selected.
The PI-1000 is an FAA Approved Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) with a versatile aircraft platform—singles and a twin, simple and complex aircraft can all be flown.

What People Are Saying?
Better than the Airplane…
“There are so many things that we can’t do in the airplane that we can do a great job of in the simulator.”

PI-1000 Options
- Custom ELITE Pilot Deck for PI-1000
- Intercom Kit
This proven, high fidelity simulation software provides about 85% of real G1000 functionality—far and away more than lesser simulations. Here are some of the features that separate the PI-1000 from its competitors:
- Updatable worldwide Navigraph navigation database
- Obstacle icons, terrain, airways, and waypoints on the map page
- VNAV and VPTH waypoint navigation
- Departure and arrival procedures
- LPV WAAS Approaches fully coupled with the Automated Flight Control System
- Missed approach procedures
- Coupled holds and procedure turns
Features are continuously added for even more functionality.
