Great video! I always "cheated" and used the built in flight planner to select my approach and load the waypoints. This way seems much more realistic and now I have a better understanding of how the G1000 works. Thank you!
This was incredibly helpful. You putting in your flight plans makes me realize I should stop loading my sim brief into the sim from the load screen, and do it manually... if I can figure that out 😅
Great explanation of G1000 ILS. I had avoided G1000 planes until bought the DA-42. I just tried it on my own in the DA-42 a couple of days ago and it didn't go well. I reverted back to RNAV to make the landing. I'm going to give it another try now and I'm sure it will go much better. Keep the great videos coming.
Well done! Please consider turn on OBS mode before hold's fix and disable it after intercept the final course. This will avoid that you need to select "direct to"function to IF or next fix.
Merci... très clair et vraiment très aidant pour moi (Je suis de Montréal et je me suis abonné à ta chaîne). Je joindrai sans doute ton site lorsque j'aurai assez pratiqué). Thank you... very clear and really helpful for me (I'm from Montreal and I subscribed to your channel). I'll probably join your site when I've practiced enough)
Awesome video!. So when you select approach mode, would that interfere with the vpth. Or do you wait until the HSI switches over before you select approach mode?
No, it shouldn’t interfere with VNAV, APR is all about making sure it picks up the LOC & Glideslope. You can switch to it as soon as you roll out on the final approach course
So does selecting the ILS approach also load the runway direction for CRS 1 and CRS 2 or is just CRS 1 sufficient? I didn't see you manually change using this with the CRS knobs, but the green arrow did appear to have moved after you selected the approach.
May I ask an insalney stupid question. You type in the flight plan what runway you're landing on and taking off from, but.... doesn't tower tell YOU which one they want? Or, is it possible, because you typed it in your flight plan that they see that?
I did it this way for the purpose of the tutorial only. You’re correct that if you are flying with atc that they would tell you which runway to land, but for a short flight like this you should be able to know which runway they’re landing before you take off
Can you make one for when the ATC guides you for elevation and prior to getting to the TOD when using vnav? Having trouble and I’m too high in elevation when getting to the approach course.
VNAV doesn’t work great with ATC because often times they’ll give you step down altitudes, and ask you to level off, whereas VNAV is going to give you a constant descent glide path to follow down. So in those cases, you’re better to use Vertical Speed (of FLC) to get down to the altitude they asked you to descend to. I hope that helps!
