Is there a source where we can obtain the manual for the avionics or some way to get practice material before we first sit in the cockpit?

A Garmin 430 simulator and user manual can be downloaded from the Garmin site.

To get the most out of your training when you pick up your aircraft I recommend that you practice with them until you are proficient.

[http://garmin.com/products/gns430/](http://garmin.com/products/gns430/)

Select ‘User Manual’ on the left side of the page to download the manual.

Select ‘Free 400 Series Simulator’ on the right side of the page to download the simulator.

The manuals for the other Garmin avionics are also available on their web site.

S-Tec’s manuals are on-line as well.

The SR20 POH is available for purchase from the factory.
