Beginners Guide to the G1000 Autopilot with Instrument Approaches

In this video, we are going to have a close look at the G1000 integrated autopilot and how it can be used for:
1. Flying headings
2. Intercepting navigational tracks
3. Climbs/Descents
4. ILS approaches

👋 About Me 👋
After a successful business career where I've started and sold a number of companies, I've decided to get out from behind my computer to pursue a lifelong passion and start career 2.0 as a professional pilot. My goal is to get to 1500 hours and then either work for a large regional, a major, or possibly even cargo. You can learn more at www.FlyWithTrent.com.

Please keep these videos coming! Had it not been for that rogue airliner rushing to take off during your approach on short final, you would've maintained center line.

You explain things so well! Thank you for these video series. It's helping me transition from steam gauges to EFIS in my muti-engine IR training.

[@trent_dyrsmid]

Glad to help!

Dude simplified it all for me lol just started ground school thanks

[@samwils1]

At 3:00, the explanation could be confusing. The FD/Autopilot logic with Heading Mode Active and Nav mode Armed is to fly the heading until you intercept the course. Making the intercept angle wider will increase your closure rate, but Heading mode will remain Active regardless of the selected heading until you are intercepting the defined course. Nav Mode will become active then.

Obrigado Trent! Very useful.

thanks for that it was really useful. especially how the g1000 will transition from heading mode to approach mode when it can, I have been getting into all kinds of bother switching between them.

On 08:00 you're saying you're flying to the station on 127 radial, I think that's more correct to say you're flying on 307 radial inbound.

[@alexkapinga2024]

I've heared someone say "Radial" (for towards the beacon) and "course" (flying outwards from the beacon)

[@ilyaredkin4172]

@@alexkapinga2024 as far as I remember from my IFR training, radial is always a radial, and you can follow the radial either inbound or outbound. "Course" is not applicable to VOR navigation. I might be wrong though, I've never actually navigated with the ground stations, all my flights are GPS now.

[@Pete_Bennett-BWP]

Useful but would be better if you had set up scenarios beforehand rather than literally doing it on the fly, ILS 28R good case in point. Any chance of rerecording this?

[@trent_dyrsmid]

@@Pete_Bennett-BWP No.

Does the Auto pilot fly the step down fixes or do you have to tell it to drop each fix?

[@trent_dyrsmid]

If you use VNV, the auto pilot will fly the step down fixes. I forgot to include that in this video, and will record it in a separate video soon.

[@dismaldunc]

oh, I was all sad when I realised my msfs didnt have the charts, is that the navigraph add-on?

[@trent_dyrsmid]

No. Those charts are natively part of MSFS.

[@dismaldunc]

@@trent_dyrsmid hmmm, wonder where im going wrong, I have the 40th aniversary steam edition, in all the g1000 planes, the charts button is greyed out.

How do you get the in game Jeppesen chart?

[@trent_dyrsmid]

I don’t recall. It was either from my Navigraph subscription or it was already included.

[@kstarrmd]

What settings fix the menu that comes up when I click on the buttons? When I engage a knob on the G1000 a white menus pops up basically obscuring the entire area.

[@trent_dyrsmid]

Without seeing exactly what you’re talking about, I’m not sure.

there's an option in the settings "disable tooltips"... maybe that helps
