Garmin GTN Xi series training. We cover a typical VFR flight from LOU to EYE while using some of the most useful features of the GTN 750XI

Fellow Kentuckian, I have a request. A detailed tutorial on the TD 750 and milvis310 from kphl to kewr ils flight. My confusion is how and when to properly use both screens and when to activate to final. Example one shows the flight track, the other doesn’t. I don’t care about all the fluff of flying, just the hard specifics. Much thanks in advance! Greg, Prospect, my.

[@kycsip3066]

That’s a great idea Greg, and I do need to get back to making videos. Your question seems to be pretty specific, maybe a bit too specific for a general audience. Reach out through my website and I’d be happy to schedule a time to get together and chat about best practices or if you’d like go on a flight and work through the specifics. Kycsip.com

do you think is something of my configuration?

Question - If you picked up flight following from Louisville, how would you craft your radio request? Your flight path is east (odd thousands + 500) then west (even thousands + 500) and it uses airways instead of going direct. So I'm curious how you would ask for this when you talk to approach control (or your class D airport) when departing. Thus far I've always been flying direct when using flight following.

[@kycsip3066]

That’s always an interesting dilemma of how much do you tell ATC when asking for flight following? I’ll usually just tell ATC my destination and leave it at that unless I have waypoints that are significantly off the direct course. If I’m going from Louisville to, let’s say Florida (not doing that Vfr, but let’s say there is a reason to) I’d tell tower I want Vfr flight following to Orlando at 7,500 with an initial heading of whatever. When I get maybe 10 miles from the point where I’m turning more west as in your example I’d let that controller know “I’ll be turning heading 190 at the ___ vor” Give the controllers what they need but don’t overload them with information they aren’t going to use. If you’re Vfr don’t expect them to pass much info onto the next controller.

@@kycsip3066 Thank you! That makes perfect sense. I appreciate the video and your response. I got my PPL last year and purchased a 182Q in August. Living the dream. I’ve been working on Instrument ground school and should be shooting my first approaches within the next few months.

It almost sounded like your kids were about to 7500 your video there
