Learn How To Turn Your Hand-Held
Garmin
AERA GPS
Into A Heads-Up Display
And Avoid This #1 Pilot Trap |

|
I only looked away for a
second. Maybe two. Things happen
pretty fast in an airplane.
In seconds, my whole world
went dark. They tell me I could have
avoided this incident with a
G-Force GPS Mount.
But, here’s what nobody is saying:
This new Garmin AERA
touch-screen GPS is pretty to look at, fun to play with, technical hip.
But pretty, fun, and hip rob your attention. In the old days of GPS you
could, at half-glance, feel around for that familiar button and confirm
with a tangible click. In the new age of GPS, inputs are tactile-free
and silent. Touch-screen tech makes you look.
And that makes you look
away.
When you screw
touch-screen technology to a yoke-mount, it bobs and weaves like a
free-range chicken. Each time the yoke moves, your GPS moves. It’s never
where you saw it, last time you saw it. Without your full attention, you
don’t know where your finger is or where it’s been. So is the insidious
secret of touch-screen programming: It’s a time-suck. It rearranges your
command priorities by making you look.
The G-Force GPS Mount

Seconds can save you
from a whole world of dark.
How valuable is that?
How much of a time-suck?
Let me tell you story.
And, to make it sporting, let’s put a game timer on it. |
|
00:00:36
Out in front of me, an ultralight tugs a banner across azure sky. It’s
one of those three-wheel jobs, a swamp buggy with go-kart tires. The
pilot wears a war surplus leather flying helmet and goggles with huge,
time-yellowed lenses. I don’t see him; I’m inside my cockpit, pressing
flesh against my Garmin AERA touch-screen GPS. He doesn’t see me. He’s
pressing against an iPod.
There Are 3,852,898,020 Miles Of Airspace Below FL180
Why does he pick the two in front of me? Two miles. That banner measures
50-feet, vinyl-coated polyester orange yellow brown flappin in the wind.
It says KIKKOMAN. In 36-seconds, that banner will be all over me, like a
cheap date.
At 200 Knots, 36 Seconds Looks Like
This:

In the time it takes you to read this sentence, I corkscrew through
another 2000 feet of azure sky. Impending doom looks like this: 00:00:30 |

Things happen pretty
fast in an airplane. Yet, you can avoid this common pilot trap with
the
G-Force GPS Mount; that puts you face-to-face with the #1 rule of
flying:
Look Outside
Get your head out of the
cockpit. That’s the elementary rule of safe piloting that every GPS
accessory ignores. They bury your attention in your lap, bounce it
around the cockpit, or banish it to the nether corners of the panel. But
bury, bounce and banish suck your attention into the airplane,
while mortality rushes at you, only inches away, outside.
Go down the list:
 |
There is the Lap Mount
-You strap your GPS around your leg. Staring at your lap/leg is
an open invitation to pilot disorientation. Instrument Rating
Examiners employ this trick to induce disorientation.
With the Lap Mount, you get it for nothin. |
 |
The Friction Mount is a
beanbag! Your GPS lounges on the console. Wake turbulence abhors
loose objects. What’s more disorienting that getting beaned by
your Friction Mount? |
 |
Air Gizmo limits your
GPS application and performance. Where do you sink a
twenty-four inch hole in your instrument panel? Almost always
too far away to read, and too wide of angle to see. Lurching
across your cockpit, toward a distant AirGizmo, is disorienting. |
 |
At last, there is the
ubiquitous yoke-mount -Relentless, like a sparring partner,
except when it’s blocking your bottom-row instruments. Chasing
after your GPS is just plain annoying. Chasing the yoke is
disorienting. |
Distraction and
disorientation is the siren song that beckons you to hitch your shiny
New Age high-tech Garmin AERA Touch-Screen GPS to these Old Age,
low-tech accessories.
Aviation is still an
outdoor sport. The more aware you are of what’s going on outside
the airplane, the safer you and your passengers are inside the
airplane. The G-Force GPS Mount gets your head outside the cockpit fast.
Are you ready to re-take command of your avionics, fly safe, and really
impress your passengers? Are you ready to

Into A Heads-Up Display

Mount now

Before this happens to
you:
|
|
00:00:18
One mile closer, I am not looking out the window. I am finger-skating
like Hans Brinker on the cool, slick face of my Garmin AERA Touch-Screen
GPS. Look at me, tapping-in the clearance amendment I just got in a
hand-off, I’m going to turn to, just as soon as I find the ‘J’-key on my
touch-pad.
00:00:12
At 4000 feet, the pilot of that ultralight suspects I am not a gnat
splat on his goggle. His eyes bug and his earbuds blow. He flags
frantic, squirms in panic, searches down between his legs for his little
friend.
“Hmm,” I ponder. “There’s no ‘J’ in QWERTY.” Not to worry. Nothing can
hurt me now because I have GPS. |
|
Getting your eyes
outside fast has everything to do with where your eyes begin. How about
if you begin with a heads-up attitude, right there in your peripheral
vision; that’s next to your line of sight? That is your line of
flight… Right?
How fast can you get
your eyes outside? How about in the twinkle of an eye. No wobble-heading
here. You glance at your heads-up display, instantly confirm your flight
status, react in a flash, and return to your flight responsibilities.
Conventional GPS mounts
drag your eyes into the bowels of the cockpit, those dark shadows
beneath the glare shield. From down there, it’s a protracted climb to
the outside.
|
But the G-Force GPS
Mount is not conventional. Up top,
up above the glareshield and the belt line, there is that panorama of window glass. That’s where the
G-Force Mount and your GPS go. Above the bowels… that’s where your eyes
are anyway. Above the shadows. Into the illuminating light
of day…

|

cockpit

|
 |
Hey, that’s where you’re
supposed to be looking anyway… Right?
Adding GPS to your
cockpit doesn’t mean blocking the instruments that are already there.
What if you could set your GPS in line with your panel instruments? How
easy can you incorporate GPS into your instrument scan, cross-checking
your navigation array for accuracy? And safety? That’s how the Pros do
it. Could you be a better pilot?
What if you could dock
your Garmin AERA Touch-Screen GPS to a rock-solid platform, that stands
face to finger against hostile clearance amendments?
How fast can you zip
across that silky touch-screen with sure-fingered input guided by
reassuring eyesight. Could you tap in a snap?
These are the reasons
that make the G-Force GPS Mount the gotta-have companion to your Garmin
AERA Touch-Screen GPS.
Are you ready to turn
your hand-held GPS into a heads-up display?

Then order your G-Force
GPS Mount now
|
|
Or look what can happen: |
|
00:00:09
Half a mile apart now. My Garmin AERA touch-screen GPS is still pretty,
fun and hip. I’m still fiddling with it. I still haven’t looked outside.
But I’m going to, real soon, because it’s in my flight plan.
00:00:04
From a quarter-mile, the pilot of the ultralight grapples around in a
canvas sack between his legs, comes up with a pint bottle of soy sauce.
Like the banner behind him, the label reads KIKKOMAN brand. He bites off
the top, spits it out, takes a swig, spits it out -it’s soy sauce
remember- He hurls the bottle at my airplane. |
|
Did I just say my
airplane!
I read a review in
Private Pilot Magazine that says: |
|
“The G-Force Mount is an excellent addition to
the cockpit, and should be looked at by everyone
who wishes that GPS was somewhere other than on
the yoke” |
|
|
Maybe, if this GPS was
somewhere other, I might see that glass bottle winging toward my
distracted face.
In
fact, KitPlanes Magazine says: |
|
“It’s the only real solution in planes that
don’t even have a yoke. It really does turn your
handheld GPS into a heads-up display!” |
|
|
Whose idea was it to
screw this thing to the yoke anyway? Here’s the problem with flight
controls: they’re either buried between your legs or buried in your
belly. Either place is the wrong place to be looking for GPS. If my head
was head-high, I’d see, in peripheral vision, the darkness hurtling
toward me outside. |
|
“The G-Force GPS Mount is the best we’ve seen.
It works like a charm.” |
|
|
That’s what Flying
Magazine says. It’s clear: the aviation press is charmed with
the G-Force GPS Mount.
When was the last time you read a review about a yoke mount?
In the time it takes you
to unravel your headset, you can turn your hand-held GPS into a heads-up
display. You don’t need a license from the Authority, no permission from
the Commission. And no invoice from your AP mechanic. It’s as easy as
1…2…3… And the learning curve is just as short:
|
1 |
Put it where you want it |
|
2 |
Press the button |
|
3 |
Pull the lever |
How simple is that? As
simple as sucking soda through a straw. Now, multiply that by the Patent
numbers and the G-Force Mount pulls a massive vacuum force that welds it
to your window. There it will stay, for legendary years, until you flip
the lever you pulled, and peel it away. In the time it takes you to
re-ravel your headset, you can remove your GPS and stowe it in the
padded safety of your flight bag.
In independent
crash-test studies, the G-Force Mount withstands 22Gs of moment inertia
without busting loose. That’s like bolting your GPS to the window…
without the annoying wind whistle.
This bond is so
powerful, it baffles the editors of AOPA Pilot: |
|
“ This over-centering cam action secures the
Mount so tight, it is impossible
to remove.” |
|
|
That’s real important
when someone throws a bottle of soy sauce at your windshield.
22Gs + Massive Vacuum FORCE =
G-Force Mount
Use this handy formula to
remember the name that turns
your hand-held Garmin AERA Touch-Screen GPS into a heads-up display.
|
|
But the G-Force GPS
Mount isn’t just a media darling. Every day, real pilots like you hitch
their hand-held GPS to the G-Force Mount. Some of them rave about it.
Frank from Memphis, TN
says, |
|
“The G-Force Mount allows me to locate the GPS just above
the panel of my Bonanza V-Tail. In effect, it simply builds
on top of the radio stack. This makes for terrific
cockpit management. And that gets my head out of the
cockpit fast. |
|
|
Effective cockpit
management begins with creating information zones. You have your
situation awareness zone: the array of gauges. You have a communication
zone; that’s the avionics stack. And the control zone: the yoke, pedals,
handbrake, et al. If you’ve ever gotten your feet tangled in the wires
dangling from your GPS screwed to the yoke, that’s poor cockpit
management. Dude! Who parked your GPS in the control zone?
John F
of Yardley, PA likes the G-Force Mount’s tenacity: |
|
“Winds: 28G40, and a squall at the end of the runway. We
banged our heads twice on the ceiling. But the G-Force Mount
and my Garmin didn’t budge. |
|
|
Imagine that same
approach with your two-thousand-dollar GPS nestled into a bean-bag
friction mount, sitting on your console.
Bob V, Farmingdale, NY
writes: |
|
“In 30+ hours over five months, from sea level to 11,000
feet, in all sorts of temperatures, My G-Force Mount has
never fallen off -even in severe turbulence.” |
|
|
Here’s Harold P, Inver
Grove, MN: |
|
“We tried a RAM mount in our Mooney M20F and it would not
stay attached more than 20 minutes during flight. Our
G-Force Mount has been attached for several of weeks
straight without falling off.” |
|
|
Dale D, Charlottesville,
VA: |
|
“It’s been hanging over yonder for nine months now.” |
|
|
“Two-and-a-half years stuck to the window of my Cardinal RG.
I’ve never seen anything like this G-Force Mount.” |
|
|
That’s because
There Has
Never Been Anything Like This G-Force GPS Mount
GPS makers give away GPS
mounts for FREE. Just look in the box. It is always a
cheap-made afterthought, designed to inspire add-on value to an
expensive device; that will distract you, deter you, disorient you. That
doesn’t make you a better pilot.
So, how free is that?
For $39.90, you can turn
your hand-held touch-screen Garmin AERA GPS into a heads-up display,
with the G-Force GPS Mount.
|
1 |
That gets your head out of the cockpit fast. |
|
2 |
It organizes your NAV resources. |
|
3 |
It streamlines cockpit management. |
That makes you a better
pilot. That makes you a safer pilot.
Which is the better
deal?
Only the G-Force GPS
Mount gets your attention outside the cockpit in the wink of an eye,
because that’s where aviation happens.
|
 |
The U.S. Coastguard flies with the G-Force Mount because the
coast is out there. |
|
 |
The U.S. Border Patrol flies with the G-Force Mount because the
border is out there. |
|
 |
MediVac Operators, Local Law Enforcement, News Services and
Publishers fly with the G-Force Mount because there is
always two miles out there. |
Should you fly with the
G-Force GPS Mount?
If you’ve ever heard
yourself say:

Why Did He Pick The Two In Front Of
Me?”

Mount now

Or rue
this fate: |
|
00:00:02
700 feet from a head-on collision. Like a snoozy groundhog, I poke my
head above the glare shield into the warm su… that soy bomb explodes off
my prop with a metal-bending BANG! That blows a gale of busted glass and
brown juice across my windscreen. YIIKES! I only looked away for a
second. Maybe two. Things happen pretty fast in an airplane.
00.00.01
I yank
my yoke, roll over, and scissor through the banner. The free half
wallpapers across my window barring all visibility except for the
cryptic lament I mimic: OMAN.
Suddenly My Whole World Went Dark |
|
Oh Man, is right.
But
your
story doesn’t have to end like this. When you hitch your Garmin AERA
touch-screen GPS to a G-Force Mount, you turn your hand-held GPS into a
heads-up display. That gets your eyes outside fast. Aviation is an
outdoor sport. That’s where the action is.
Then,
your story might tell like this: |
|
Flight prep. You remove your Garmin AERA GPS from the padded snuggle of
your flight bag. In three seconds you place your G-Force Mount, press
the button, pull the lever and lock your GPS head-high, in finger-tip
reach. Analog instruments groan to life while your heads-up display
eagerly illustrates your flight plan.
Departure. You triple-check your runway position: DG, GPS, outside
visual. You track the course line to your first fix like a bobsled. Your
controller notices.
He makes small talk.
En route. You lean into the whirling rose on your heads-up GPS compass,
execute a flawless rollout onto your second leg like you’re hooked to a
tow truck. Your controller moves to personal banter.
He asks about your family.
Up ahead, you hit your mark like Fred Astaire. Then comes that humbled,
glowing honorarium from ATC that is reserved for Presidential pilots and
high time industry insiders:
“Cleared Direct,” he sings. “Have a nice flight,” he adds.
It is a glorious day at altitude. And every pilot in three hundred miles
knows you are the pro. All this because you turned your hand-held Garmin
AERA touch-screen GPS into a heads-up display. |
|
Is this how you want
your story to end? Then order your G-Force GPS Mount right now.
