Msfs2020*G1000NXI ILS Landing tutorial* Entering the FPL & Approach/W FREQ'S Cessna 172

[@2020fsers]

****hey everyone I messed up on this video and I didn't go over the flight restrictions. On the ils approach you will need to descend manually or using vnav to near the FAF flight restriction before the GS will activate and lock. In this video I was so close to the FAF flight restriction that the GS was able to lock . Sorry about that I will be doing and entire new g1000nxi series and will be going over everything in much more detail. ******

This is the only video that helped me land a flight using this method THANK YOU

[@2020fsers]

Your welcome. I am in the process or redoing my g1000 series in the playlist for the updated aau 2. Happy this helped thanks for the comment

[@marcusmiller8267]

Thanks! That's one of the best explanations I've seen (been struggling)! Great job👍

[@2020fsers]

Thank you 😊

[@88keysLA]

I’ve watch a few ILS vids for the G1000 and this was the best by far!

[@2020fsers]

Thanks 😊 I appreciate the kind words. I will be doing a new g1000nxi series once the aau update happens. Thanks for the comment

[@gameramante]

I finally understood how to do ILS approaches with your tutorial, just did my first ILS landing in Vancouver Int'l (and the weather was terrible, very foggy and rainy so made a great use of ILS)!

[@2020fsers]

Awesome thanks for the comment . I am doing an entire g1000 series I will be doing approaches. I currently only have 4 episodes but more to come . Check the g1000 playlist

[@gameramante]

@@2020fsers I will definitely check it out. There's a tutorial I'd like to see is on how to calculate the flight descent, FPM and when should I start the descent

[@2020fsers]

@gameramante ok good to know I'll make a note when I start the approach section

[@GumperVanLier]

The NXi was a big update over the regular G1000. And it's free! Once you learn how VNAV works, it's easy and fun to watch it work. They fixed RNAV approaches too with the NXi. Nothing is easier than flying the Diamond D62 and let the VNAV take you down and follow restrictions. With the D62 and it's FEDAC computer system, no need to worry about propellers and mixture. All done for you. You just control the throttle. It would be great if you showed us how to use the visual approach. I haven't been successful with it yet.

[@2020fsers]

Thanks for the comment . I am going to do an entire g1000nxi series and I will dive into all the systems and some flights . The da62 is a fabulous aircraft and the mod is the tops for it.

[@GumperVanLier]

@@2020fsers That will be great. Yes, I use the mod for the D62.

[@2020fsers]

Cool im.going to start that soon im.gonna post my windows settings video first..this is gonna be good... then ima start with more tutorials in msfs .

That was an excellent video. Thank you.

Your welcome thanks for the comment 😀

[@rackum44]

Great video as always. Question, why would the suspend button automatically come on when I do an ILS or rnav? I'm not sure if it's the plane or something I'm doing wrong

[@2020fsers]

A lot of times you will have a manseq or vectoring from ATC at a particular point in your flight plan so what the GPS does is it suspends the guidance until you tell it that you're ready to resume again

[@rackum44]

@2020fsers Thank you for the reply,but how do I tell to resume? When I click it off the magenta line doesn't come back it just shows the approach at the airport

[@2020fsers]

@rackum44 yeah that's what it's supposed to do because it's assuming that ATC vectored you to the approach so you would only need the approach to show so the only thing you could do in that situation after you hit the suspend button and it resumes is do it direct to so you can highlight that Waypoint and just hit direct to or you can activate the approach and if you activate it it will take you on a direct course there

Great video love the instruction!!! Maybe I will play it again on the series x.

@@2020fsers What do you use for controls? I am using the turtle beach velocity one and again I am using the xbox series x.

[@2020fsers]

That seems to be a decent throttle yoke combo for Xbox. I have the bravo and alpha units and the tpr thruatmaster rudder peddles.

Great video. Thanks

[@eduardoprada3179]

Hey buddy, nice video. I just got the Xbox s. Trying to imput an ILS frequency, head towards the airport to intecep loc, when pressing nav mode, AP , the buttons desingage for some reason, they don't stay on. Am I doing something wrong? Tks

[@2020fsers]

ok when you engage nav mode to intercept the ils make sure the hsi is in nav1 or 2 whatever you have the ils programed to .

[@2020fsers]

oh i will be doing an entire new g1000nxi series once i finish the longitude series i am working on now .

[@eduardoprada3179]

Yes, it's on NAV 1 on CDI. Also, what do you recommend as a control to fly it?

[@2020fsers]

I either use vnav to the faf or vs . If that's what you were asking

[@2020fsers]

The ap shouldn't turn off on its own .. does this happen in every plane

[@richardPalmisano]

I just watched the video bro can’t get no easier than that the way you explained i can’t wait to try it this evening after work . So far the only thing I’m not sure about is do you have to control the altitude or does it do that for you for the glide slope and then once you hit that altitude you hit approach button right. Thank you so much for your time to do this for me. I will let you know how it goes if I don’t get stuck lol. By the way I love how you can do everything sitting in the plane that is the bomb

[@2020fsers]

Yea so you control your altitude until you lock on the glide slope . 1 thing I didn't go over is the flight restrictions In the video and I'm kicking myself now for that .so depending on how many flight restrictions you have until the FAF you may need to descend manually down to the FAF at that point is when the gs can capture . In this video my faf was at 1698 so the glide slope was able to capture when I was at 2000 but let's say you are at 5000 at the 1st flight restriction and the last one FAF is at 1698 then the glide slope will not capture at 5000 I hope I explained that well. So you would manually descend or use vnav down to the FAF then to activate the approach . Like I said In the video once locked on the gs it will override an other vs or vnav

[@richardPalmisano]

@@2020fsers Very well explained I will mess around with it and get back with you and thanks for the quick response. Where would you select approach maybe the last waypoint or before

[@2020fsers]

At the FAF

[@richardPalmisano]

@@2020fsers ok so if I’m understanding this right on your final approach you have to be in the Final approach target altitude is some what right I know I will figure it out you gave me a Headstart

[@2020fsers]

The faf stands for final approach fix . On the fpl it shows what waypoint is the faf. That's where abouts the gs will capture so around that point you activate the approach mode .

[@richardPalmisano]

hey buddy can you still use this method for sim update 11 for some reason seting up ils in the world map not working

[@2020fsers]

The world map seems fine to me and the ils procedure is the same on the g1000

[@colinhudson8995]

For some reason with all of my flight plan entered, when I hit enter and go to the full screen map it all disappears. Makes no sense 🙃 Good video regardless though

[@2020fsers]

Hey thanks for the comment. You mean the fpl loaded in the world map?

[@Attwood182]

What do you do if it doesn’t automatically go into nav 2? It never seems to work for me

[@2020fsers]

Use the cdi button to switch to whatever loc 1 or 2 that you have the ils freq. .

[@Attwood182]

@@2020fsers lifesaver thank you

[@2020fsers]

Your welcome

[@richardPalmisano]

OK going over this one more time if your speed is not low enough and the green diamond meets the altitude in the middle to activate the glideslope Will the altitude still decent automatically? Because I am not sure what speed it should be for to the decent. I’m pressing the approach button but it does not show that it is locked on does it matter if I click the approach button on the left Monitor or the right monitor because I’m clicking it on the left monitor

[@2020fsers]

Your speed won't matter for the gps to lock on the loc . And I doesn't matter on either side to activate the approach.the gs won't show green until about the FAF so you have to keep track of your altitude until then.

[@1988DanielJ]

I didn't know that the flap lever had the speed minimums.

[@2020fsers]

Yes take a look at other ga aircraft some others have that as well. Thanks for the comment

[@colinhudson8995]

When I take the flight plan off the screen to all goes away

[@2020fsers]

Can you please tell me more? When you take the fpl.off what screen .?

I am interested in knowing all of the add ons and enhancements you run for a full MSFS2020 experience. Do you have a video for that? Thank you.

[@2020fsers]

Hey Edward and thanks for the comment . I do not have a video on the addons I use and that is a great video suggestion .. I will get one put together and share what I use.

[@stanblanch1]

Way too fast to follow

[@2020fsers]

I understand 👍 I will be doing a new g1000 series soon when I am finished with the longitude series so I can add all the new stuff that the g1000nxi now has available

[@thelastword3270]

Ditto here - critical actions getting glossed over. At "set the climb speed to 80kts", I heard it, and I saw the cursor hovering over the speed list on the PFD, but I didn't see anything else happen. Then I saw the 80 appear at the top of the screen. How did it get there? Legerdemain. I happen to be an inst-rated pvt pilot IRL, and I've flown ILSes IRL in VMC and IMC, AP-coupled and hand flown, so understand ILSes, but the G1000 is new to me.

[@2020fsers]

Thanks for the comment . You may want to watch the g1000 series from the start. This will teach the basics of the G 1000 so once we get further in the series, you will understand what is happening when I do it. And I won't have to explain everything when it happens. This will allow me to help keep tutorial shorter for the viewer. So far in the G 1000 series. I've only got up to episode 4 I believe. I'll be doing episode 5 soon. But I have taken all of these old G 1000 episodes out of the series. Because I wanna redo everything.

[@2020fsers]

Here is part 1 of the new series .all the links for the others are in the description kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5zSYptohtmVeNk

[@thelastword3270]

@@2020fsers OK, thanks. I appreciate that you're following comments, given the age of the video. I'll watch the video you linked here. Worth noting is that when I owned my airplanes and was active in aviation, the published manuals are where I went to learn my avionics. I could do the same for this sim-based G1000, except that with sim stuff, there are sometimes things missing, which is why I use these videos for the workarounds.
