Martin, this series has been awesome for me. Just getting into a plane with an IFD 540 and this has been an awesome introduction!

[@martinpauly]

Glad I could help - enjoy the IFD! - Martin

[@garyyouens2901]

Great video! I'd like to see you do one on the abnormalities. For example, what to do when the IFD doesn't switch to vloc on an VOR-A approach or how to program a hold after you've activated an approach and get a new clearance.

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, Gary. Several more episodes are planned, which will hopefully answer those questions (and many more). - Martin

[@prestonmiller9552]

I think I could be your copilot after this Martin. Great video that shows how really simple it can be. Thanks so much!

[@martinpauly]

You are very welcome, Preston! - Martin

[@tfabrizio623]

Thanks for making these Martin! Helped me out quite a bit with my new IFD440.

[@Ed-hz2um]

Would be helpful if you slowed down. I'm a beginner, trying to learn this unit. At about 4:40, you made so many key strokes, I completely lost it.

[@martinpauly]

Ed, in KZbin you can change the playback speed. Maybe try half or quarter speed? - Martin

[@Ed-hz2um]

@@martinpauly I didn't know that. I'll give it a try. Thanks, Martin!

[@dwec4246]

Hi Martin, could you do a video for checklists on the 540. I created some on the ipad trainer, can i download them to the ifd 540?

[@scarter176]

WOW that was good Martin !

[@martinpauly]

Thank you, Steve. - Martin

[@christopherwilson6527]

We use these in our clubs aircraft. They are so intuitive to use. Love them

[@martinpauly]

I agree, Christopher - the user interface is very good! - Martin

[@speedygonzales9090]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. 😎👍 🇨🇱

[@martinpauly]

My pleasure! - Martin

[@davidfitzpatrick7466]

Was part 3 uploaded? I can't find it.

Just going from Garmin GTN during IR(R) training to 440s & 540s on my SR22 - this is going to be invaluable - great vids, Martin and brilliantly explained

[@martinpauly]

Thank you, Simon. - Martin

[@TheRealMikeSalmon]

Excellent video my friend!

[@martinpauly]

Thank you, Mike! - Martin

[@GGBSystems]

I need one of these, Martin! Maybe two. Redundancy. Thanks!

[@martinpauly]

You won't regret your choice, Jeff! - Martin

[@HoundDogMech]

And what happens when you make a mistake enroute IFR in turbulence?

[@martinpauly]

Not 100% sure where you are going with this question, but when you make a mistake, you correct it. And in turbulence, I find it easiest to do so using knobs and buttons, instead of the touch screen. Your mileage may vary. - Martin

[@derekzeanah]

Thanks for this Martin. I stopped flying during Covid and got a new IFD440 installed over that same period. As I get back into the swing of things these videos are perfectly timed and very well done. Now I just need to show back up on Beechtalk again...

[@sey1yes2]

I love this stuff. thanks for presenting it.
