Companions Ground School
The TBMOPA Companions' Ground School Program is informative hands-on training, and we welcome all
levels of experience. Courses will explore the basic principles of flight, aircraft instruments, and radio communications. We’ll also cover some of the basics on managing emergency situations, always good to know!
Class begins Thursday morning with an introduction of the material and what to expect in the session. Companions will then transition to additional ground school based on their comfort level and experience in the TBM. You will have the opportunity to select between Advanced and Beginners Courses. Afterward, we will move into 90-minute hands-on training with Garmin Avionics panels for the G600, G1000 and G3000 aircraft. These sessions will be grouped by panel. You’ll appreciate having an instructor who can spend more time with you and have a comfortable space to ask all your burning questions!
The Ground School Program will be led by Certified Flight Instructor Jim Tuley, TBMOPA’s Safety Consultant, and instructors from SIMCOM. The Course is only $150 and TBMOPA Members can add the course to their registration when registering their companion.
