This product is especially helpful for learning and practicing instrument flying procedures in your personal flight simulator.  When coupled with virtual ATC like PilotEdge or VatSIM this provides the most realistic simulation possible.  This allows you to develop familiarity with the Garmin 430 interface and controls so you can be better prepared for actual lessons with your CFII.

Features Include:

• Tactile rubber buttons allow you to use the Garmin 430 in the same way as you would in a real aircraft
• High quality concentric encoders with their own push buttons replicate the feel and function of the Garmin 430 knobs
• Change your comm radio frequencies quickly and easily, no more fumbling with the mouse
• Make your sim training more effective and representative of real world flying
• For X-Plane 10,11, Prepar3D v3 and v4, and FSX Steam and Boxed Edition.
  Plugin software is provided for X-Plane v10 and v11, P3D v3 & v4 and FSX. Note P3D and FSX require Reality-XP GNS430 or the Mindstar GNS430 (sold separately through Reality XP or Mindstar)

This unit features it's own 3.5" LCD screen that is used to display the Garmin 430 pop out screen from X-plane. Installation is simple, there is no assembly, 3D printing, wiring or soldering required, this product comes fully assembled.  The unit can be panel mounted in your home simulator or sits on your desktop.
