G430W building and loading flight plan

How to build a flight plan, save it, and later load the flight plan. This is useful if you have a complicated flight plan, but you don't want to load it with the engines running, or you want to load it prior to your checkride.

Good information, however, you went too fast. It would be helpful as some of us are trying to take notes. You clearly are very familiar with this procedure - we are trying to learn the concept. Thank you for taking the time for this video.

You hands is in the way man

[@chennaultflyingservice]

Like Ricky Bobby, I don't know what to do with my hands

[@abbieamavi]

Simple and clear, thank you! Just what I needed:)

This is a very helpful video for understanding how to build a flight plan. It would be even more helpful if at about 2:10 minutes you highlighted the fact that you have to twist the large knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to bring the cursor back to life. You show moving the cursor after you got it back, but you never told us how you got the cursor to reappear on the Create page. It would also be helpful if you also showed how to create a waypoint using a radial and dme, carefully explaining each move of the large and small knobs. It would also be helpful to do the same with an intersection of 2 radials, or an intersection.

Nice job… Did my initial flight training at VGT (1993)

[@TXPatriot737]

Learned to fly at VGT back in 1979. Lone mountain was way out of the city and used as a landmark to tell tower when coming from training area. Fun times!

Me, with 260 hours in planes all with 430’s… thank you

Started out great just build the flight plan as your title says, maybe do another video for waypoints

Out of focus can’t understand what’s happening

[@dougpegg33]

Hand often obscures what is happening with knob twisting / button pushing and without a describing narrative (40% of time) it’s not very helpful.

[@garyowen9454]

I'd say 60% unless you like studying hands.

OK well that was a waste
