Am I stupid? Will I never understand ILS Approach? Nope just hadn't found your video. Great tutorial and you are a very good teacher, thank you.

[@SteveGad]

I always overthought it. Its basically follow the GPS until you get to the approach start (Prino here) and click the APP (approach) on the G1000. You're probably a seasoned pro by now, but these comments might help someone just starting out. It's the missed approach thing that loses me. lol

[@gabrieleliberti8636]

Literally one of the best tutorials for ILS landing, not too much technical, not too little technical, nice voice as well :), thanks a lot man. Can't wait to practice it on mfs

[@Rotarson]

This video was actually really easy to follow, all the other tutorials I've tried to follow use way too many technical terms and skip explanations. Great work!

[@analyzer5695]

I don't think there is a person who explains it with such clarity and detail . Thank you Kip!

[@RubinGnoni]

I purchased the Xbox series x as soon as MSFS announced it on Xbox. Since then I’ve been watching many many videos about VOR, ILS landing, etc. Today, June 21, 2023 I was able to flight start to finish an ILS landing flight. And thanks to you. I really appreciate it. I watched this video MSFS: ILS Approach…, maybe five times and then I executed it and for the first time I did a complete flight and I also received compliments from Xbox. Thank you. You got yourself a new follower.

[@AptosWatcher]

I've been looking for a clearer understanding re. how to use the G1000 for an ILS approach. Your explanation is outstanding. I'm bookmarking it so that I can watch it several times over...and take copious notes. Thanks much!

[@matthewrice6557]

Hey Kip, just tuning into your channel as I get up and running with FS2020. Dude, these are super helpful and have really cleared up a lot of very frustrating moments I've had. Really appreciate you taking the time to do these!

[@heyjoe9302]

This tutorial is absolute gold. Your entire series is great. I'm taking tons of notes and practicing. Keep up the great work.

[@joeshmoe66]

Best ILS explanation I've seen. Thank you!

[@SteveGad]

Thanks again Kip. This may be three years old but it's still a life saver to guys like myself, trying to learn the G1000 again.

[@xALPHAxJULIETx]

I have never seen a more clear and concise tutorial regarding ILS and autopilot. Well done. +1 sub here.

[@Wazzman70]

These tutorials are saving me a lot of frustration,great job mate! 👍👍🇦🇺

[@briefofevidence]

Thanks Kip. Best tutorial video I’d found on MSFS. Very easy to follow, fantastic delivery and gave me all the information I needed.

[@robertraman6307]

Excellent turtorial, best I’ve seen on ILS-approach.

[@joschelboschel]

You are an amazing teacher! No boring sections, always something between the lines to learn. THANKS! It would be so cool if MS had ILS and things you covered in a tutorial as they have for normal flight.

[@minobg79]

Great explanation, best guides I have seen so far. Very detailed while being straightforward and easy to follow, you deserve a lot more views. Keep up the good work.

[@donaldmccloskey9443]

very much appreciate the volume and pace of your speaking delivery. i will look forward to more.

[@coloneljessop]

Excellent tutorial with nice bits of info not mentioned in other videos. You are a natural teacher. Thanks

[@traceturner2595]

Dude no way I am literally watching this at work, a stones throw from KIGM! We're a TINY airport with no commercial service and our population is relatively small as well.. I thought I was having a stroke when I saw you load into KIGM. Excellent tutorial I can't wait to fly this over and over again for practice. I take off from KIGM regularly as I'm familiar with landmarks and terrain having lived here my whole life.

[@einfussganger]

Best explanation for shooting an ILS with the G1000 I've seen. Thanks man. Worthy of a sub!

[@SimandDriver]

Had my first ILS landing last night. I keep watching this video and it’s working. Using the RSG G1000 suite makes the realism even greater.

[@mikevadnais7722]

I have been watching a lot of G1000 vids for ILS, and you nailed this one. Very informative with some great information.

[@KipOnTheGround]

Thanks Mike!

[@jonren1012]

Thank you for this video, nice and easy to follow with clear and unrushed content. looking forward to the next one.

[@jonnywatwong]

I was near enough giving up on all this, but my friend you have shown me the way. Just done a complete flight, with flight plan followed and it felt great. You put all the pieces of the puzzle together cheers man much love ❤️

[@RGflies63]

As a newer MSFS pilot, I found your tutorial to be pure training gold. Keep up the great work Kip! New sub. here.

[@pt4822]

Just found this channel while learning ILS. Your two ILS videos clearly explained the concepts. I've watched many videos and docs but they are not as clear as yours. Bonus funny moments to boot. Thanks.

[@captainfantastic83]

For someone completly new to flight simulators, this was awsome. Easy to understand and you explained everything I have not yet found answers to elsewhere! Thank you! :)

[@Astlaus]

Used this tutorial to successfully perform my first precision approach (with G1000nxi). Worked like a charm. Thank you sir.

[@lpmobius3075]

Just wanted to say, this is is one of the best ILS tutorials I've seen that's concise and actually gives you all of the instructions you need. Thanks!

[@FellipeRodrigues89]

This is the best tutorial i've found during the countless hours i've spent looking. Thank you!

[@chimo3531]

One of the best ils tutorials I've seen. Thank you

[@cgripp256]

Great presentation. Clear video that steps through the process in a logical manner and presents it in easily digestible sections.

[@Kryptonic83]

Really enjoying these tutorials. Haven't flown in the sim for months but looking to get back into it soon and one thing I never fully got down was ILS and glide slopes etc.

[@rustyfaders2369]

Just the video I was looking for. Well done and thanks!

[@bradthelad998]

Really good explanation of this not confusing I wanna see more videos from you! 🙌

[@DDheliservice]

Explained very clearly, this is what I was looking for, subscribed!

[@twisted_myk]

This is amazing. Love the way you broke everything down

[@scottm8879]

Copied this flight and just finished my first ILS approach! Fun! THanks!!

[@jhallock]

Great quality on the video Kip, going to practice some more ILS now :)

[@jackmoorhead2147]

KIP - Great job and an excellent video for flying a G-1000.

[@TeezyThaKidd]

this was awesome to watch. i'm officially a fan! subscribed. thank you!

[@infocusphotographyandvideo]

Really good advice and help. I was messing up the approach and you helped me understand where I was going wrong. Thank you

[@MrJOSEBREDA]

Perfect tutorial. Congratulations. I live in the city of Recife, located in the northeast of Brazil and I am a follower of your channel. Jr Breda

[@adsmith7722]

I’ve watched so many tutorials, finally this one answers my questions! Thank you!

[@georgegeranios2918]

This video is clear and precise and easy to follow. Kip On The Ground my go to source!

[@MarcHershey]

The best video I've found on this. Thank you so much!

[@hectordepuertorico]

Superb explanation sir.Thanks, I am a solo x-c pilot and I don't fly anymore but with your instruction of ILS use it makes it so much better to fly in all weather.TY

[@user-ct9tf1ox1p]

Excellent video. I may have to watch it a few times to master ILS approaches but this tutorial will sure help. Thanks !

[@Helitacki]

Awesome Video and more than great explanation! Guys you always have to fly into the needle at the Localizer and to the diamond at the Glide Slope. Keep that in mind and you'll ride that thing exactly to your runway!

[@Faceless_Chat]

This is the best video on ILS I've seen so far

[@roywallace3242]

You are a SUPERSTAR !!!! I have looked at allot of instructional videos for MSFS. Some of the people talk so fast and click on this and click on that before you can realize what they have done. I get so mad at these people !!! I'm watching this video because I don't know what to do and they go thru it so fast I cut it off because they are not helping me. You are a breath of fresh air, I could follow you with each step. Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@m.edrispopal5349]

This was THE BEST and I mean THE BEST ILS toturial i have ever watched FINALY i know what ILS is and through this video i found out what Localizer and GS is too THANK YOU!!!

[@peteallennh]

This video is a keeper! Really great job!

[@alanrichert5653]

Great explanation! Thanks for the excellent tutorials!

[@cmurphy3748]

Bro. Great tutorial, great edit. Keep the content coming.

[@svenvanderhoeven8128]

your video made the ILS landing clear for me, other videos I watched do to many things at once, now it is time to try for myself

[@mcmak666]

Excellent video, brilliantly explained. Thank you!

[@datonernegen]

Another Kip classic, thank you!

[@svejsan1555]

Hands down best ILS tutorial! Top!

[@lukedavies5926]

Spot on again fella 👌👍

[@Titere05]

Thanks for pointing out the quirks in MSFS ILS!

[@joshua_jfly]

This not only explains it well for a game but I’ve used this to clear up a lot of confusion in my instrument training, a regular instructor can’t teach in plain English like this.. Going to practice on MSFS now.

[@j_london9791]

Nice job.....too funny with the plane flying over

[@andresmarquina833]

Dude! This video was game changer for me. Thanks a lot!

[@pirate98.3]

Just what I needed. Thank you for this.

[@boots3372]

Best tutorial I've seen on ILS landing.

Absolutely The best ILS training, EVER!

[@LeShark75]

Kip, thank you for this great Video. I just nailed my first ILS landing.

[@cavalierqoon]

I love the honesty of leaving the departure from centerline on touchdown in. This video is gonna get me out of the 152.

[@brianherrera621]

what a great video!!! thanks for this valuable gem

[@jui79]

Perfect! Thanks for this great vid!

Sorry I meant Kip

[@bcuyreuize]

Great content! Keep it up

[@Topcat1952]

Another excellent instructional video Kip. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and skills with us. Wondering if you might want to do a similar video as this showing how to do a RNAV (e.g. LPV and LNAV/VNAF) approach? It would include types with the glide slope feature plus when to use the Activate Approach and the Autopilot. Thanks again!

[@kenmercermusic]

Thanks Kip, a very nice tutorial! 🙂

[@rossgee2950]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you.
