The Garmin G1000 training software simulates the behavior of the G1000 system to help you learn the basic operation of the system. I haven't checked it on W8 or W10, but I suspect it will work. BUT, they do have a G600 sim available for download and it includes and integrated 430/530 sim that runs just fine on Windows 7. If you have a newer operating system, it isn't going to work. Garmin stopped upgrading their dedicate Garmin 400/500 series sim years ago. The Garmin GNS430W/530W – Instrument Holds and Approaches App gives you approximately 40 minutes of exciting video showing actual holds and approaches using the GNS530W flown in a Cessna 172 in San Diego’s Terminal Area, including reference approach plates, IFR checklists and a 10 question quiz to test your knowledge.

This unit features it's own 5' LCD screen that is used to display the Garmin 530 pop out screen from your flight simulator panel. This allows you to develop familiarity with the Garmin 530 interface and controls so you can be better prepared for actual lessons with your CFII. And because we know all about your flight, we’ll automatically get your logbook started by logging your total time from takeoff to landing, including the times in either day or night conditions. Garmin Pilot tracks date, time, aircraft, arrival/departure airports, landings, remarks, aircraft category, flight conditions, endorsements and more.
