MSFS: Fly to any airport using the G1000 NXi and Visual Approaches / Microsoft Flight Simulator 

Excellent tutorial video as are most of yours. I'm a retired airline pilot. If I could make one suggestion, as soon as you disable the auto-pilot and transition to a visual approach, with no nav radios tuned, press the FD button to get rid of the flight director since it's not giving you valid commands and has just become a nuisance in the HSI.

Hi Kip. I wanted to take a moment to express my immense gratitude and admiration for the incredible content you create for the Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) community. Around 9:00 pm today, after turning off my Xbox Series X, I found myself in the living room, looking for something enjoyable on RU-vid. That's when I stumbled upon this video. I can't quite put into words the impact your content has had on my MSFS experience-it's nothing short of unbelievable. Your ability to make MSFS enjoyable is truly remarkable. I don't want to exaggerate, but I genuinely feel like I've learned to fly and truly appreciate the intricacies of MSFS through your videos. The way you articulate and put words in the right place at the right time makes everything so clear and understandable. I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to you for the fantastic work you do. Your dedication and passion shine through, and I believe Microsoft should take notice of the tremendous contribution you make to the MSFS community. I'm optimistic that recognition and rewards will come your way one day. On a personal note, I'm 75, and my family can't believe the amount of time I've happily devoted to enjoying MSFS. Your videos have not only enhanced my skills but also deepened my love for aviation simulation. Also, I had the pleasure of participating in one of your streams before Christmas. It was an absolute delight, and I wanted to commend you on your engaging and informative sessions. Way to go! Once again, thank you for being a beacon in the MSFS community and for making this hobby so enjoyable for people like me. Looking forward to more of your incredible content. My gamertag is Luladrown

As a non-pilot I found this tutorial to be very informative and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in such a clear and useful manner.

You are a natural teacher. Your instruction flowed smoothly and consistently. Every word you spoke was to the point with no hesitations or ums and ahs and no irrelevant filler. You were clear and all business. You didn't assume that we knew anything about the subject and fully explained each step along the way. Other video creators could learn a lot about presentation by watching this video. It was a pleasure to watch and very instructive. Great job. Please keep them coming.

YES THE GARMIN TUTORIALS ARE BACK

I've been flying MSFS since December and still learning things from our videos. They are THE BEST that I've come across. Thank you.

You’re simply a wonderful instructor. Your instructions are calm, clear, well understood, and very informative. You provide details when appropriate and useful in real time. You mention safety issues helping me become a better pilot. You should feel proud of yourself creating a well earned reputation of bringing an excellent ptofessional.

Great video - I learned more from this video than many others - thank you Kip

I've had MSFS 2020 since drop and I've learned more in this one video than I can put in words! I'd been just mostly winging it trial and error and doing things the hard way but this helps a ton. Wish I could give it 100 thumbs up. Thanks dude!

Incredibly useful and clearly presented video!

Excellent tutorial for a beginner. Very well explained, clear and concise. I have learnt a lot! So thanks!

Hey Kip. I've sat through a lot of these kind of vids - and sadly been lost in the complexity and the way it's delivered. Often its like listening to an auctioneer 'Click this, hit v-ref, then set bugs and...' and I think WTF? But I have to tell you buddy, your presentation and teaching skills are absolutely first class. You diction and pacing (even to a fussy Englishman) are perfect, your anticipation of potential pitfalls and questions we'd ask are also on point (as you guys would say lol) All in all a really great tutorial. You've certainly helped this aspiring DA-62 Pilot and I can't thank you enough.

I learned to fly in the late 60s and picked up my instrument rating in 1981 in a Turbo Arrow that I flew for 10 years. Then, there was no such thing as a glass cockpit for GA planes or GPS, for that matter. I just last year started flying a simulator because I missed flying so much and I thought that I had taught myself most of what I needed to know about the G1000. Your video taught me how wrong I was. I bet I picked up 10 or more things that I didn’t know. I’m not at my simulator now but I intend to watch this video and fly the same flight with you first chance I get. Thanks for a great lesson. I subscribed and I will look forward to more great content in your other videos.

Love this video. You have a way of clearly explaining how this stuff works, which to a greenhorn like me is most welcome. Keep up the great work, and I'll be watching!

GREAT tutorial Kip, thanks. I always pick up a tip or three watching your vids. As flyinghorse says, a ILS AND RNAV would be a perfect progression! !! !!! Also using the same two airports

Bravo, consise information with clarity. Starting off with the OG VOR and then GS 530/430 stack. It's so refreshing to finally get to the G1000 This video jump started my basics in a big way 🙌 Thank You

this is the best video that i watch for g1000 ...thanks

This vid made my Jack Russell lay down and chill, i didn't take her out today bad weather. Just subbed 🐕🫶👍🤣

I really appreciate your ability to describe procedures to make them totally understandable!

This video is one of the best [101-stage] G1000 NXi videos published on RU-vid - if not the best! Kudos - nothing missed, simple to follow and well presented. Thank you. 👍

Incredibly incredibly helpful, thank you so much! Great showing/zooming into instruments, everything clearly explained, really appreciated.🌞

Your videos are very comprehensive and easy to understand - liked and subscribed!

The best basic tutorial for visuals I've watched so far! Thanks, Capt. Kip!

A really useful video. All was clearly explained and demonstrated with a good level of detail. Plus, my favourite, no fluff or diversion into other subjects. Good job - thank you. 👍

Nice editing with the targetted zooms to highlight areas you're speaking about Kip. Great job.

super clear and thorough instructions. thank you sir!

Thanks mate, so happy found this, can sit back now and enjoy the flight😉

This is the most clear and precise tutorial I have come across. Hats off for a great intro to the auto pilot functions. I have spent a few days with MSFS and and can happily land on manual mode anywhere (in the sim). But all those knobs and buttons has been a mystery to me. Until today! :)

Great tutorial, I’ve learned a lot

This is absolutely a wonderful help! My first use of AP thanks to you.

Very clear explanation. Thank you!

Awesome video. Thank you for explaining all steps. I am new to MSFS and that is very helpful.

Welcome back, I definitely got my start from your channel looking forward to some commercial aircraft stuff and vatsim stuff from you

Excellent video. Just the info I was looking for, and easy to follow. Thank you.

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

Been an airline pilot all my life but learned a lot about using the G1000. Thank you for your nice and clear tutorial!

I really needed to watch this video. Thanks!

This is a phenomenal video. Bravo Sir.

Great vid! Full of good info. Thank you.

Brilliant video. Thank you so much. Watched it earlier and just given it a try in my local area in the UK. Worked a treat. I've recently got a Quest 3 vr headset and getting back in to playing MSFS and this is going to make it so much better.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is the perfect tutorial to understand and practice. Incredible.

Love it, thank you for an amazing tutorial.

Thanks for this! Great vid! Very helpful.

Thank you for remembering that we all started knowing very little and really wanted some help to get going.

Great video, Kip. I love using visual approach. You're an excellent teacher. Happy New Years to you.

Excellent video Kip, all this time and I've never used a visual approach...I will now. Thanks for your effort in producing this.

Another great video, I learned how to fly with the g1000 from your old vidyas but this was a much needed refresher course for me, good job Kip!

Kip, I appreciate your effort on the video tutorials, they certainly help...a lot. I've been sim flying for decades but now i only fly intermittently so it's easy forget what does what. These really help. Thank you

Great lesson. Appreciate it very much.

Absolutely the best how-to manuals on using G1000 and MSFS flight planning. I also watched your other videos they are also high quality and extremely helpful. Thank you!

Outstanding video probably one of the best tutorial videos of the G1000 I've ever seen

The best GPS video I've watched for ages - even an idiot like me understood it THANK YOU!

Many thanks from Munich for this great tutorial! Ron

Top Class video your presentation techniques are clear and at the right pace. Thank you.

Great tutorial,the explanation is very clear.Thank you.

So awesome my guy! Thank You.

That that was nice. THank you Kip.

Great tutorial thank S. I’ll definitely be following this. Subbed.

Great tutorial. Thank you

Great. Precisely the kind of videos I like to see : short and efficient, and extremely useful ! Many thanks Kip. And I'm looking forward to more like these with increasing complexity 🙂

Great presentation. Thanks

Thank you so much for this video. I have been flying in the sim since it released and was able to use the basics of the Autopilot system to get from point A to point B. But I had never learned to set the climb rate of FLC before takeoff. Most importantly I had never even thought about using the approach options. I had always just manually added extra way points to the world map to make sure I was flying straight in to the designated runway. I have just now finished my first flight using all of the info you provided in the video and will be continuing to do so in the future. Thanks again!

Excellent tutorial.

Many thanks Kip, I’ve learnt more from your videos than any other and appreciate very much your amazing content and teaching skills.

Excellent tutorial, Kip!

Excellent presentation. I learned a lot...thanks.

I usually don't leave comments, but really have to this time. This is a very well done video, well prepared and very informative!! This will make using the G1000 so much easier for me. Keep up the good work !

Awesome tutorial!

That was great! thank you. Im currently binging these vids in anticipation of get a new PC to replace my current potato. Can't wait to get started. my last go with MSFS was when i ran under DOS on a B&W monitor.

This is the best video ever! Thank you! I am enjoying much more the game thanks to you.

Great vid. Clearly explained and really useful for beginner like me. Appreciate the effort you have gone to produce this.

I had no clue you could just click the airport and the correct departure would select! Great tip!

Hello Kip. Once again, congratulations on this remarkable work. It's a real pleasure to follow your videos. Everything seems more obvious and more approachable. Thank you so much. A French Simmer. 👍👍👏👏

Great tutorial. I have to admit I'm one of those guys that's spawns on the runway and off I go. I REALLY enjoyed being able to set this up. I made a checklist, worked like a charm. It really added to the realism of the game for me. Thanks so much, I'm hooked.

Very good video, great job!!!

This tutorial is awesome! I had been trying to find a tutorial that got me from point a to z without being overly complicated and this was it! I’ve watched it several times and it has opened a whole new, exciting experience with MSFS!! Thank you Kip!!!

You're a natural at explaining this information Kip! Please continue to enlighten us with your knowledge. Your time and talents are greatly appreciated as it makes my simming experience much more complete and enjoyable.

This video was excellent and explained so much I was trying to do and previous was not able. Thanks again !!!!

Muchas gracias me ha sido de gran ayuda, no me había animado a usarlo hasta que vi tu tutorial al fin pude llegar a un aeropuerto al que me era muy difícil aproximarme

Good tutorial on using the G1000 basic operations. Long landing was a result of landing with a tailwind which also pushed you to the right of center line

Good evening KIP, Found this video very helpfull , have been flying MSFS since release , your video is very clear and clarified some points which i had not quite got a grip on. Many thanks

Fantastic Lesson, best I've seen.

I learned so much from this Garmen video. Thank you very much.

Hey buddy, this delighted me and keen to start flying again for new year :)

Thanks that was very informative. You showed some stuff I wasn't aware of, so thanks again. :)

Great video, helped me a lot!

DAMN i wish i had this when i started. Amazing video Kip!

👍Big Thumbs up for a great tutorial ! You're awesome. Thanks for taking the time and effort to teach us beginners the ropes!

What an incredible video! I have been in Microsoft Flight Sim for many years now. I learned to navigate using NDB's and VOR's; no GPS! When I first saw the G1000, I was scared to death of it! It looks so overwhelming and complicated that I just preferred to fly the Cessna 152 as it is more familiar to me. Thanks to your video, I understand how the G1000 works a lot better now. Thank you for that!

Great video I’m a beginner with Microsoft flight sim and this has really helped

Great tutorial for me - taking first steps in MSFS. Great, clear explanations, easy understandable diction (polish man here;)). Thank you very much, going to familiar with other videos of yours:)

This was excellent! I just subscribed to your channel. 👏👏👏

foarte instructiv .

RubinGnoni You have taken my thoughts and put them into to words to Kip. I am just a regular person wanting to just fly without all the extras that everyone does. Kip puts things into very simple easy to understand words without all the hype that everyone need to promote their videos. And that is what I have been looking for. After a year I am finally becoming able to understand the new program and completed a couple flights. Thank You and My wife thanks you as I have quit yelling at the computer and learning the use the program as I did the original program.

Good job man, I've got 3000 hours instructing in light aircraft and a 1000 now on 121 jets. I stumbled across your video and thought this guy is making great content for those who want to get into flying!

Really nicely done! As a private pilot flying traditional 6 pack instrumentation, I've been wanting to get familiar with the G1000 NXi system. This tutorial has been very helpful. I'm doing sims to airports I actually use so that when I have a chance for using the real NXi I'll be prepared.

Very good video. Thanks for making this. Liked and subscribed.

Nice tutorial hope you continue your great job. Just subscribed Thank you.

Great video!

Very good tutorial
