Beings the "glass" cockpit is now the norm in aviation, the c172sp variant could stand to have a few new tutorials highlighting some of the more important functions of the FG1000.

Here are a few that come to mind.

Learning the EIS functionality.
Moving map use and options.
COM use PFD and audio panel
NAV use PFD and audio panel.
ADF use KR87, audio pane and PFD.
GFC700 use and features

Start at KICT

ADF/NDB
Tune the KR87 ADF radio (far right of the instrument panel, right of the pilot yoke) to 332 stby freq then click the Freq button to make 332 the active frequency.
Make sure the volume knob is set to 75% or above and that the ADF button is ON (in the depressed positions)
Click on the ADF button on the audio panel and you should hear the morse code signal.
After verifying the ADF signal you can turn of the audio by clicking again on the ADF button on the audio panel.
Now on the PFD click on PFD (at the bottom of the PFD)
Now click on BRG2 4 times or until it reads ADF, you should also see a blue arrow on the compass rose showing the bearing to the NDB and a box to the lower right of the rose showing the tuned freq of 332 and ADF. Also in the box is a legend symbol of the pointer used to indicate the bearing to the NDB in the compass rose.

NAV1
Now tune the NAV radio (upper left of the PFD the NAV knob) to 109.1. First click on that NAV knob and make sure NAV1 is the active radio. Then turn the outer ring of the NAV knob to tune, mouse scroll and shift + mouse scroll for MHz. When the number reads 109.1 you have the stby NAV1 freq set.
Now click on the left-right arrows (<-->) above the NAV knob to swap the stby freq to the tuned freq.
You can now click on the NAV1 button on the audio panel to hear the NAV1 morse code signal.
After verifying the NAV1 signal you can turn of the audio by clicking again on the NAV1 button on the audio panel.
Now on the PFD click on BRG1 (at the bottom of the PFD, if you don't see BRG1 you need to click on PFD first as you had to do in the ADF instructions) 1 time to activate the NAV1 bearing pointer on the compass rose. You should see a 2nd blue arrow pointing to the LOC1 bearing.
You should also see a box to the lower left of the rose showing the distance of 1.9NM, ITWI and NAV1. Also in the box is a legend symbol of the pointer used to indicate the bearing to the NAV1 localizer in the compass rose.
