[@andreiveldman2000]

As a private pilot who just got checked out in the G1000 C172 and for whom all this has not become yet second nature, I found this tutorial to be quite a useful review. One recommendation from my instructor (and also from the author of a good G1000 book): take advantage of the redundancy and always use only the buttons in the center (i.e. right side of the PFD and left side of the MFD). It's faster because you move your hand less and you don't block the view of the PFD instruments while you set up NAV frequencies, heading, altitude, A/P etc. Of course, this is more relevant for flying the real thing, but it helps not to change the habit when practicing with the simulator.

[@jamesplaisted764]

I have watched hundreds of hours of pilots in real airplanes, and certainly have my favorites, but I am really enjoying your teaching style (Asperger's syndrome, major depressive disorder) Flight simming was a major thrill for me for many years and I was never afraid to tackle a new challenge. You make the complex "simpler" which I find is a rare gift. Thank you for all you do, and I adore your cat. HUGE cat fan.

[@kj3d812]

@James Plaisted Learning a flight sim with Asperger's is a bit of a challenge, isn't it? From one Aspie to another, all the best wishes to you! :)

[@Malky23]

To get the minimums call out with a G1000, you have to select “BARO” instead of “OFF” to the left of where you input your minimums altitude. (Never played Flight Sim but it works in the real thing). Have fun not busting through minimums.

[@SlotCarNomad]

Nice video! Just getting back in to flight sim with the new release. I have watched 3 or 4 G1000 tutorials before yours and stopped as soon as they say things like “ I am not sure what that button is, I never use it”. Refreshing to watch you expertly explain the functionality. Also you have impressive multi-tasking skills, explaining and flying at the same time. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks!

[@Pilotemilie]

Such a thoughtful comment, thank you!!! I appreciate that - it's all skills you hopefully develop when you become a Flight Instructor lol!!

[@edmonddalida3770]

A big thank you for this video! I've been strugging trying to learn the G1000 lately. This will surely help a lot. And please do the VNV video/tutorial in a future video. 😃👍👍🤙

[@thomasonmotors4735]

Glad I spent 30min learning the G1000 instead of hours and hours of punching buttons and frustration. Feel like the hardest part has always been setting up for approach mode and having it capture it, especially in an airliner with higher GS! Thanks again!

[@Robin-bk2lm]

Hey Emilie, any chance you could zoom in on the panels a little more when describing the little buttons? Or a lot more? Thx

[@ColinRichardson]

I M surprised she didn't go to into instrument camera

[@tumiantumi4726]

exactly....zoom in on the panels and stay out of the screen...nobody needs to see you...it´s the instrument that count...

[@steveo3328]

You have a excellent teaching style. A long time ago, the United States Air Force trained me as a Navigation Systems Specialist (Tactical AC). Learned about ILS, TACAN, VOR, IFF, and a bunch of secret stuff. I knew the concepts, and electronic theory in regards to how these systems operate. I never actually flew. Watching your videos have filled in a bunch of missing gaps in regards to how to use. Have had two successful sim flights in which I felt like I kinda knew what I was doing. Last missing gap, for me, is VOR landings. Keep up the good work!

[@Pilotemilie]

Thanks Steve!

[@1blendercraft1]

Thank you so much for this video^^ Up until now I only did VFR flights with the autopilot set to direct GPS . This video did help me a lot, especially when it comes to do an ILS approach

[@blackproject5677]

If you think the Pilot's Guide for G1000 is big, you should see the Maintenance Manual! As an Avionics Tech, G1000 ( and 3000/5000, which are slightly better) is, hands down, one of the most temperamental and crazy systems I've ever had to deal with on ANY aircraft. Indeed, great when everything is working. Sucks REAL bad when it's not!! Great Video Emilie!

[@Meganstoy]

That's a real good reason to learn how to fly using only the backup steam gauges.

[@baf_mcnab3065]

Fantastic tute, makes me want to get back into flight simming. Think the guy in the Big jet was having fun, but not sure his passengers would be :)

[@samuelVFX]

I'm enjoying that you use, and more importantly explain, a lot of the terminology and acronyms I hear other avid sim'ers or real pilots use. I'm just clicking buttons that do what I want but hearing you explain something like "pfd" stands for primary flight display vs "mfd" multi-function display really makes it all click together for me. I've heard ATC talking about bugs before but never understood till now. Keep making these great vids!

[@aikidoshi007]

That was great for a noob like me, thanks Emilie! I'd really appreciate a deep dive into the G1000 Flight Plan panel and the procs functions.

Awesome tutorial Emilie, One of the best i've followed so far you explain everything so clearly and slowly. I've been away from flight simming for over 12 years now so have to learn all the new systems again. I learnt the Airbus and boeing fmc's when i built a full size simulator in my bedroom, unfortunately i never got to finish it. Keep up the great videos.

You can press "D" to set heading indicator. After that, you can press the synchronize button on the G1000. It seems to have some internal offset when you use the outside camera to look around. I had the same thing happen with mine.

[@addama]

I'm sure it's been said, but you can do Ctrl+1 to focus on the G1000 panel only while in the 172 (or the six pack if there's no G1000). That way you're not trying to zoom in and move the camera around. Ctrl+2 is the other G1000, Ctrl+3 is I think the backup dials on the Cessna, etc

[@extreme244]

Your landings are so smooth. I would love to see you do the landing challenges and see what Highscore you can get there :3

[@Fixingthingz4u]

You can see Saba wasn't a good outcome i also have failed numerous times :(

[@gsveeb]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Just a suggestion ... there are some pre-configured instrument views that sort of zoom to the different instruments. Suggest you zoom in to the PFD for example so we can see a little bit clearer what you're doing. Look under CONTROLS --> KEYBOARD then instrument views or something like that to see the mappings. I think it might be something like CTRL+ALT number pad 0 through 9.

Really helpful video. Had to start again a few times over because my plane went a bit crazy when I paused and I couldn’t recover from it. Also for some reason wasn’t able to set the vertical speed; it kept on randomly changing. Luckily the plane just kinda did it’s own thing on the way down to the runway and somehow got over threshold. I’ll give it another go in the morning. Great to be back in Victoria 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

Good video! Small tip. Use instrument view and you get a close up view and easier to set. Another tip, being that the yoke is actually there on the aircraft, it is counter intuitive to use the buttons on the left of the PFD. To mimic RL, I use the buttons on the right of the MFD. this gives me two things, I can keep my left hand on or near the yoke and everything I need to access is in easy reach with my right hand. This is very evident when you are actually flying and making adjustments.
