In this first of a planned series of videos, we focus on a general overview of how Navigraph can aid general aviation pilots plan their flights with precision. The focus of this episode is VFR with coverage of IFR in a future video.

As a real world Private Pilot, this is a great way for folks to learn all about VFR flight rules and flight plans (Im in USA)

Brilliant I.just switched back to GA and forgot how satisfying it is especially in VR. This will be a great refresher many thanks

And there is now 'Say intensions' and 'Beyond ATC' to add even more immersion. A great time to be siming

Although it doesn't have charts, you can also make the same kind of flight plans directly in the World Map, as you see both the map and the different airports, navaids etc there.

Your videos are far out the best for all Simaviators. Thank you for your work. Since 1982 with flightsim and since then also working in aviation since today.

Awesome video and will be following the vfr series. Would be great with beyondatc when they implement vfr.

I've been simming for 25 years now, I do it because I'm passionate about Aviation. I use it for fun and to help with my flight training, currently using it for my IFR rating. Flight Sim definitely helped me out a whole bunch in real world flying. Love it. Thank you for your videos and support in the community.

Very nice! Quick tip: if you click and drag on the route line you can drag it to whichever point you want. A bit quicker than having to select a point and defining before or after. This will also snap the line to nearby points of interests. This is very similar to how Skyvector does it.

Very informative as always Mark. Keep up the good work.

The current version of the sim is the first one that I have actually attempted to learn proper procedures (and fly airliners). Been flying virtually since subLOGIC Flight Simulator II on a Commodore 64 and always just flew around randomly. Of course the current sim makes GA flying amazing and most of my flying is still GA. I do use Navigraph/Simbrief for nearly all my flights though. Crazy how we have nearly every possible chart available to us for a minimal cost.

@chrisvowell2890 2 ай бұрын

Great video! Like many older flightsimmers, I can no longer afford the expense of real GA flying (or a very likely fail on my medical!) so flightsimming, especially in MSFS, is a very acceptable substitute. It's also great for keeping one's flying skills sharp, particularly navigation which Navigraph does well. I just hope that the recent AI programs for ATC comms become equally 'as good as it gets' as real world flying!

excellent video , very informative

@baomao7243 2 ай бұрын

Totally agree. My sims became way more satisfying as an “accomplishment” once i applied all the GA PPL flight planning - fuel reqd, time of day, route planning, altitude, TOC/TOD, diversion airports, weather, etc. 👍 (I tend to use Foreflight.)

I find it interesting that you say you prefer Navigraph for flight planning VFR flights. I love Navigraph and use it daily for IFR flights, but unless I'm missing something it is incredibly lacking in even the most basic VFR flight tools. Let's say I want to plan a flight using VOR's. Nearly every VFR flight planner will let me draw out a ruler to determine distance and bearing to/from a VOR. Can't find anything like that in Navigraph. Most tools will spit out a flight plan including frequencies, radials, and distances so you have it in one spot. Again I can't find anything like that in Navigraph. If all I want to do is fly fix to fix, sure Navigraph does that really well, but that's basically IFR at that point.

The problem I found with this method is that if you select a parking spot istead of spawning directly on the runway, it messes um the departure procedures... Never being able to fix that...
