Beginners guide to operating the G1000 and flying a route in the C172 in Microsoft Flight Simulator

hello today we are going to do a flight in the Cessna c172 in Microsoft flight simulator this is the version of the Cessna with the G1000 the Garmin G1000 autopilot and flight management computer so we're going to program a flight into it by hand in the cockpit and then fly that route and have a look at the various instrumentation and modes of the autopilot along the way hopefully this will be useful to somebody as you can see the weather here is atrocious so let's go and have a look in little nav map and see where we are we are at reading Municipal Airport in California Northern California and we're going to fly down via a VOR station called Red Bluff to Chico Municipal a bit further down a bit further to the south of us so it's about 50 mile route um and yeah we'll we'll play with VOR stations we'll play with navigating by GPS and then we'll land via ILS at Chico municipal so the weather is pretty spectacular which is actually placed into our hands for doing this instrument flight I'm just looking at the wind speed isn't too bad at ground level it could kind might be quite hairy higher up but we'll have a look and we'll see how we go okay so inside the aircraft the first thing we need to do is go and turn on the battery and the Avionics you can see the system will boot up and you can hear a warning going on at the moment so it's just complaining basically about oil pressure low voltage and vacuum that's because the engine isn't running so if we click the soft key underneath the warning it stops complaining over on the secondary screen of the Garmin you can see click rightmost soft key to continue which will switch the map on so there we are next to the Airfield um and you can hear enunciations of the system testing itself if we use the range here we can zoom in and out of the map so that's all pretty self-explanatory we actually want to go and program a flight plan so you can do that via the FPL button you'll notice if you click it on the primary screen it's quite small if you click it on the secondary screen it's a lot bigger so it's easier to see so I'm just going to click on the stalk of the yolk to make it disappear so we can see the the panel much more easily so to begin programming a flight plan you press the knob for the FMS and you will see a flashing cursor appears inside the flight plan box so then the right also the the inside dial of the knob is each character and the the outside knob is your position as you're entering characters so we want to go to krdd kilo Romeo Delta Delta so inside knob to select characters so kilo then outside knob for the next character Romeo Delta Delta I don't know if you've noticed this if you've played around with programming flights in flight simulator it doesn't always filter the letters which it should um kilo Romeo Delta Delta and then press enter and that will add it to the flight plan there it goes so then we're going to Red Bluff rbl so we roll the inside one and carry on to R then the next character using the outside ring and it's rbl Romeo Bravo Lima so Bravo at Lima and press enter so we now got a magenta line appearing that tells us that is this is our current leg it knows we are at kilo Romeo Delta Delta and our destination airport is Chico municipal kilo Charlie India Charlie kilo Charlie India Charlie Municipal and press enter so there we go there's our flight plan done we can actually go and set altitudes for each Waypoint we're not going to bother with that because we're going to be messing around with the aircraft along the way anyway using selected altitudes and vertical speeds to get to them okay so once you've done that you can press the middle of the knob again it removes the cursor and you can press the flight plan button and you can see it's already drawn on the map if we were to zoom out to increase the range of the map display you will see there's our entire route so we'll zoom in a little bit okay so next thing we're just going to get the aircraft running first before we do anything else so in the Cessna you've got if you look out of the window of assassin evil see the fuel is actually in the wings so it's gravity fed down into the engine so you can leave the fuel select in the middle you don't have to select left or right the fuel shut off you you pull for off on the fuel shutoff valve so we wouldn't be able to start the engine if this was pulled out it's pushed in by default when you launch the simulator for some reason normally it would be out um so that's the fuel down and then we should be able to go and start the engine we've got the mixture here that's in by default it's Rich by default you would half expect that to be Lean by default but there you go so if we go and turn the key and we can hear the engine which is great so now we have the engine running we can go and turn some lights on so we want the beacon like the taxi light the nav light and the strobe light we'll also turn on the Pito heat so if we look out the window again there's a tube here with a sensor in it that's going to measure our indicated AirSpeed if that gets frozen up which could happen in cold clouds than the indicated AirSpeed would go completely up the wall because it wouldn't have any reading from outside if it gets blocked up with ice okay so let's go and taxi around and take off and then we can start playing with all of this instrument instrumentation and explain what it is and what it does before we do take off let's just have a quick look so we've got the nav radio frequencies up in the top left corner you've got the leg that you're flying of the flight plan directly above the the screen you've got the distance to the next Waypoint and the bearing of that next Waypoint from where you are you've got the com radio frequencies at the top right you've got altitude you've got vertical speed alongside the altitude obviously it's not showing anything at the moment you've got Target altitude at the top of the altitude ribbon so if you set an altitude you're going to climb out to we can actually do that so if we go and say we've got the altitude knob is down here so we've got thousands and hundreds on the two dials so if I go and roll the outer dial we can go for 3000 feet and then we can press the vertical speed button saying we're going to go to vertical speed mode and we can press nose up once per 100 feet that you want to climb so say we went for 5000 feet that's like 500 feet per minute until we get to 3000 feet okay so we can leave that as it is and let's go and release the wheel brakes if we have actually look below to see how we did that so when this is pulled in the wheel brakes are on when it's this pushed in they're off so if you notice what the pedals are doing in a Cessna you actually tip the pedals to apply the brakes so releasing them is not tipping the pedals anymore okay so we're going to do a sharp right turn so I can open the throttle gently and we're rolling probably just took the head off of the guy with the tow truck or the tug we can press space to sit up in our seats see where we're going and we're going to tax you around we're not using ATC today because it would just be a distraction from me talking so this should be fairly straightforward so we will get the aircraft straight I think we can see a little bit of icing happening on the windscreen or is it just rain no it's just rain so we're going to go and Center ourselves up on the runway okay so we are going to control the aircraft manually down the runway as soon as we take off so within a few hundred feet of the ground we will engage the autopilot at which point it will stop us rolling because it's in roll mode and which is its default mode and it will apply vertical speed at 500 feet a minute to get us to 3000 feet so let's see that happen with full throttle release the wheel brakes so we're watching the indicated AirSpeed we're dropping flaps to one the wind is pushing us all over the place and we've got quite a strong headwind look we've taken off at 60 knots or thereabouts so it flaps up and engage the autopilot so I've let go of the stick so you can now see autopilot is on we're in raw mode vertical speed is 500 feet a minute until we get to 3000 feet so you can see that reflected here the actual vertical speed is 500 feet a minute so the plane is flying itself notice it is already deviating from the runway Direction beneath us that's the wind pushing us if we want to see the wind just briefly on the PFD which is primary flight display options and show the wind so we could say option three so we've got a 15 knot headwind well they're about 14 knot coming straight into our face basically [Music] so we're going to let the plane climb out [Music] and you will notice on the map we've got a route and we we're only in roll mode on the autopilot at the moment so if we want to actually follow our GPS routes we need to make sure that if we go back so you can see the symbology for this we need to make sure that the CDI or course deviation indicator is in the right mode so if we click the button underneath it is it it's now in GPS mode so you can cycle through vor1 vor2 and GPS so GPS means it will follow our programmed flight plan so if I now press the nav button it says GPS up here so the plane is going to track back to the plan so you can see where we were slightly off the plan if we look on little nav map you can see it happening it's actually making its way back to the line okay so along the way we're going to have a look at using nav mode on the GPS we're also going to play with the vors so let's go and program nav one to go to 115.70 so at the moment we've got another one on one one three point nine zero we want to change it so we can use the outer ring for the integers so we can go to 115 sorry it's on 110.50 at the moment and this is the standby frequency that we can program we want 115.70 so the inner ring is the the decimals [Music] so 115.70 when we press this arrow button it becomes the active frequency that the system is using which has done nothing because CDI of course deviation indicator is in GPS mode which is what the autopilot is following the autopilot will follow if you're in nav mode it will follow whichever mode the CDI is in so if we then change the CDI to VOR the plane's going to try to change direction yeah and before we do it let's go to heading mode press the middle of the heading so we're going to carry on going what route were we going 156 degrees so let's move this heading bug using the heading roller it's a 156 and you can see the integers here more easily so we're going to get the plane on heading mode on the autopilot to fly 156 and then we can play with whatever setting is on the VOR to see what it actually means so at the moment you can see this green arrow pointing West and that's our course so if we turn this you can see the course here also it's called pointing North not West it's hidden underneath the arrow so if I move this roller over here which is the course setting I can roll this round and you can see at the moment if we roll it around a little bit further [Music] thank you when the green bar goes into the middle that means that we are going directly towards the VOR station [Music] yeah because we're so close to it that makes sense so we're in heading mode on the autopilot we're going to tell the plane to go left so we'll go 90 degrees on the compass yeah so we're going to turn the heading to deviate so we get to see what happens [Music] we'll go for 100 degrees so we're not too far away from the course so the plane is turning left to 100 degrees and you can see that happening outside terrific weather isn't it good job we've got the instruments otherwise we wouldn't have a clue where we were so we are now flying 100 degrees across the landscape so remember we've got vor1 tuned into Red Bluff so watch what's happening to this needle it's getting further and further away even if we turn this around using the course [Music] we turn this to say well okay what direction is the the beacon so if we get the line in the middle the arrow is pointing at the Beacon yeah so we are on the on the line at 163 degrees to the beacon but because we're traveling across so if you imagine from here we measure that was 168 on my on this Compass anyway what did I read it wrong on it I must have read it wrong on there anyway you can see we're traveling actually away from that line though so we're now to the left of that line and that's being shown here yeah so we are to the left of the line on the course deviation indicator if we wanted to know the direction to point or to fly directly to the beacon all we need to do is rotate the course until the line is in the middle and that tells us we need to fly a course of 168 degrees so if we then turn our heading to 168 see but it's already too late because we're so close to it but it's close enough so we could go past that so we could intercept the line so if we went for 180 degrees we'll then be flying 10 degrees or so further across so we'll reintercept the line so yeah you can see that happening let's go and remove that measurement [Music] okay so you can see here that this line comes in at a a bearing of one five six yeah so if we wanted to fly 156 we can do that on the course I say actually yeah we wanted to fly the 156 line into the VOR so if we now press the nav button in other words the autopilot is now going to try and fly the 156 degree line into VOR station at 115.7 so the plane is automatically going to intercept so because we are using the VOR mode and we're in nav mode which is showing VOR up here it's disregarding the heading name yeah we can roll this heading around or we like it's going to take no notice of it so we've used the course to program the CDI and nav mode is following that so it's going to try and fly 154 degree track into the VOR station at 115.70 so you can see it's intercepting at the moment while we're flying along let's do a flight level change so should we increased another thousand feet just to re-show how we do that so we can roll the error to altitude knob and that's changed the target altitude to 4000. to climb to that height we select vertical speed and then we can use the nose up and those down to change the hot the rate at which we get there so I've pressed nose up five times which has given us 500 feet a minute and the aircraft is now climbing at 500 feet a minute towards 4 000 feet and you can see the speed dropping as that happens [Music] so hopefully as we get a bit closer to the the beam here or sorry not the beam that the track you will see the aircraft turn left to meet it so you can see it on the map here so if we change the range you can see us approaching that slowly let's go and have a look outside while we're waiting and see some of this horrific weather flight seems very pretty isn't it so this was a good day to be doing this as an instrument example I guess so the plane is following course marker that we have programmed or the course we have programmed the VOR so we've essentially told it to do exactly the same thing that the GPS route is doing but we've done it via the VOR we will notice there is a second green marker here on the arrow that means that is the bearing to the VOR if we were to spin this around which we could do and the airplane would jump all over the place when we do it the um that will swap around so then you get the indication that you it is the bearing from the VOR not to the VOR okay so the plane is getting close so you should see it starting to turn left and it will happen very gently so if we just move the heading bug so we can only use that as a frame of reference to see when it gets there of course the airplane will also account for the wind as we turn so at the moment we know the wind is coming from 171 39 knots so it's quite strong winds up here got hell of a headwind so we are approaching you can see the green bar coming in which means we are approaching the track that we want to be on so then the plane will turn left towards the track so while we're flying towards here we go we're starting to turn left so that's the autopilot doing that for us we're at 4 000 feet now so it's holding at four thousand feet while we're flying along let's go and have a look at some of the functionality built into the G1000 it's actually quite clever so this PFD we touched on earlier is the primary flight display options if we click on that we get various options across here we saw wind earlier you could display wind in three different ways so you can show the hor the lateral and I guess axial component of the wind you might describe it you can show an arrow and the speed or you can show an arrow and a direction and a speed or you can turn the wind off we'll leave it on direction and speed for the moment in DME we can see the distance measuring equipment measuring to the VOR if it's available so on 115.7 we can see 8.5 miles to go to the VOR station bearing is showing pretty much the same thing HSI format you can change the format of this display entirely so by by default it shows you it in 360 HSI mode that's horizontal situation indicator so that's the name of this display so we're seeing all the whole 360 degrees of the compass rows we can show Arc mode which cuts it in half and you just see the top half of the compass rose yeah so some people actually prefer that and for certain situations it's quite useful indicator but let's go back to 360 HSI because it's quite a nice way of getting an overview um bearing two that would be for vor2 so if you wanted to do that so you can play around with that um I'm gonna turn that off and go back what else could we look at that's useful on the timer reference page you get to use a timer so you can press the FMS knob to put the cursor in there and you could set a timer and do what you want with that we're not going to bother today so we can clear out what we can press the button to cancel out there you can also see the Glide and rotate speeds for the aircraft you have um we didn't look at transponder so you only really use the transponder if you're using air traffic control so if you switch it on you might want to go and program the code for your transponder in which case you can program the numbers in and you can do an identical to the um nearest station but we're not going to bother with looking at transponders today um that's about it really so there's a ton of stuff that's useful in the PFD menu so we've also mentioned obs is the Omni bearing selector I'm not going to get too much into that today so CDI is the course deviation indicator so that's the mode that this is operating in so notice because we've said VOR and GPS are almost the same as each other if we go to nav mode because we were flying the exactly the same track it's not really going to be much different so you can see magnet the reason that the needle moved is you're looking now at True North versus magnetic so if we go and change the CDI back to VOR that you saw the needle mave okay so once we get to rbl we'll carry on I'll pause the video after we get to rbl and then reacquire it I'll show you the navigation we're going to do to get to what the ILS beam but then I may pause recording so you don't have to sit and wait and watch the airplane for 10 minutes because it could get quite boring so we're trundling along at four thousand feet and if you look outside you can see we can see absolutely nothing is a tiny bit of this guy so just to pass the time along the way let's go into send back down to 3000 feet so I'm going to move the target altitude to 3000 feet to vertical speed mode and those down at 500 feet a minute and we're going to come off the throttle otherwise we will accelerate and over speed so you can see where we're getting close to over speeding we could descend faster if we wanted to we just press nose down a few more times so we're sending out a thousand feet a minute and you can see a magenta bar alongside the indicated airspeed ribbon that is our rate of change of speed it typically shows you I think if this is the same as the big jets it shows you the speed you'll be doing in six seconds but I'd have to confirm that by doing some reading so you can see we're coming down and we can see rate of change here look as well so the altitude you'll be doing in a number of seconds time or we can get some view of the ground down here this is quite good so we're getting closer to 3000 feet so the plane is slowly pulling itself out of the dive so you can see 350 feet a minute 300 feet a minute to 50 feet a minute so it's gently leveling out so we're just about to come to rbl so you can see this is the leg we are on krdd to rbl and you'll see that switch over any moment soon for the next leg of the journey which will be rbl to kicc was it kcic I can't remember name so we're nearly there as we pass over this will change to reflect the next leg of the journey and we need to go for GPS mode because because we haven't it'll be quite instructive to see what happens the plane has done nothing it's gone automatically into roll mode which means it's keeping the plane level if we go to nav mode and then change the CDI to GPS there we go nav mode you can see the plane is turning left and because we've actually already gone past you can see that needle is ever slow so slightly to the left already so it will backtrack across the route to re-intercept which it is doing okay so the next thing we will do is line up for ILS into Chico municipal so you can see we need a VOR quency of 111.30 for the glidesaver sorry a nav frequency 111.30 for the Glide slope into the runway so let's go and program that in while we are operating in GPS mode we don't care about programming we'll have radios they're not going to influence the navigation of the aircraft so we want 111.30 there's something instructive here as well so one one three zero and we switch that to become the active frequency and you can see it's brought up an ident code as well for the ILS approach so the thing we need to look at is if we let's put this in heading mode for the moment so let's select the current heading and say heading mode so the autopilot is just making us fly straight and level at the moment so then that means we can now change the CDI over and the plane won't move around so let's change it over to you VOR mode or showing the localizer now it says lock which means it's a specific kind of radio frequent or radio Beacon it knows it's a localizer for ILS the big change now because it knows it's a localizer is we can't change the course the course is saying 132 degrees and come and look at this 132 degrees it's the direction of the runway or the direction of the the Glide slope in this case it's not offset which means it would be an angle to the runway so we can use it to fly straight down into the runway so you could say we want to fly 132 degrees into um into the Airfield so if you imagine this line ignore the number that's going to appear on this because I'm going to draw it backwards but imagine we want to be on that line if we were to enter nav mode now the plane would turn left and intercept and fly down that all the way but how about we want to go measure distance from here how about we wanted to go there [Music] or maybe if you think about it from here measure distance from that VOR station from Red Bluff over to here so we want to actually fly 113 degrees from rbl in a straight line yeah so you would be able to do that with a VOR radio so if we were to tune back into 115.70 and say we want to fly 113 degrees right now so we're going to go back to 115.70 which was the it was the it's now in the standby frequency because we swapped them remember so we can swap back and we can say we want to fly one one three degrees out of there yeah so heading sorry not the heading of course one one three so that would be 110 there's one one three look on the course so it we're pretty much on that line which is what you're seeing because the wind is pushing us away from there so let's go and try moving the heading around to see what happens to the indicator so if we were to turn East let's see what happens to the line it's now saying we are to the left of the 113 degree line and we are to the left of the 113 degree line we turn the heading back across it so let's go to say 140 degrees so the airplane is turning to 140. and you will see this line come back towards the middle when it's in the middle we're on top of it see how the plane is turning back across it now because of that 40 knot wind even intercepting at the angle we have look we're going to have to intercept at a much sharper angle so let's go to 160 degrees and suddenly we're turning into the wind look so now you can see the needle is coming back so when we're on when the needle is in the middle we are on top of it on top of the track the 113 degree track into a away from the VOR station notice the line is opposite the arrow which means it's from the VOR so this is 113 degrees from the VOR at 115.7 so now we're on top of the track so we could start doing this or we could just press nav and the plane will do it itself rather than us mess around with the heading trying to guess the wind the plane will do it itself and it will fly the track so it's reintercepting because it's gone slightly to the right of the line and now it's going to turn right and it will fly it will crab itself perfectly to stay on the line it will do a little bit of finding you know weaving left and right and there we go so we are now basically flying down that line and why have I just lost the engine I think that's a control problem I've got here so I'm just opening the engine up a bit you can see we're getting closer to the ILS so we'll let it keep flying this track and then we'll switch over to the ILS when we get closer so we're at three thousand feet so let's go and just check something if we go and view the information for Chico Municipal we can see in little novel map that the elevation of the airfield's 222 feet we're at three thousand so we probably want to be about two and a half thousand feet above the ground so that would be about three seventh about three seven fifty when we get to the entrance of the ILS if we were doing it all you know by the numbers but 3000 is fine to be honest it means we're going to come in below the Glide slope which is good because you can only really acquire the Glide slope for approach if you come in from below or certainly that's how it should work if you come in from above the Glide slope the approach button shouldn't work so what approach will do is not only fly the horizontal track it will follow the vertical track down the invisible line to the to the runway we'll explain that a bit better when we get closer okay so while we're just enjoying the scenery let's go and have a look outside and beautiful day isn't it oh the graphics are starting to crash the simulator's getting ready to pack up I think famously unstable flight simulator having another one of its episodes or it could be nvidia's fault who knows so we'll try not to pan the camera around too much while we're doing this the sea is going to cause havoc I just realized we didn't turn the taxi lights off but we probably do want to turn the landing lights on soon because we'll be approaching I know we're panning around let's have a look so we can see now we've got the big old Landing light on just gonna have a couple of miles of flying along until we get to the VOR so should we switch over now to the VOR so let's put this back into heading mode so we'll make sure the heading is the direction we're actually going at the moment and then we'll switch to heading mode change the CDI over to GPS mode so you can see at the moment based on this being 115.7 it's it's got it wrong hasn't it oh sorry this is GPS spoke we don't want GPS mode we want VOR mode so we're going to switch the VOR over to the Glide slope so 111.3 is now programmed so it's basically saying that we are to the right of the line which is absolutely true it's also saying we're flying at an angle to the line which is also true yeah so we are flying towards it so we're flying towards that line so that will come into the middle hopefully at the start of the Glide slope you can also see a green diamond disappeared alongside the altitude ribbon so this is our vertical placement compared to the Glide slope so at the moment we are the middle of this bar the Glide slope is above us as we get closer and we intercept like flow through the invisible line down to the runway this float down towards the middle so while the green diamond is above the halfway point it's above us in the sky when it goes down below it's below us in the sky so we are too high so I will go to manual control on approach so you can see these needles move around so the CDI is in VOR mode but the heading is being held by the autopilot at the moment so if I went to nav mode you can see it now says lock means it's following the localizer so it is now going to intercept it itself you can see that green diamond is coming down so coming down towards the middle so we're getting closer to it as long as it doesn't get to halfway before we do it we can actually engage approach mode so the airplane will start descending all on its own when it gets to the line so let's do that we click approach mode you see it says GS up here Glide slope so flying along we're going very very fast we're on the limits of the aircraft ready so we're going to slow down a little bit and you'll see the planes start to descend let's go and look outside while that's happening and move us around there's nothing to see here at the moment it's good isn't it so here comes the green diamond into the middle of the Glide slip gauge and you should see it stop in the middle and the plane will start descending in other words the plane is chasing it there we go the plane has started chasing the green diamond so I'm going to go manual now so I can explain what's going on so full menu control let's turn left and high you can see the green diamond is is dropping we are above the Glide slope the green line has gone to the right we are to the left of the green line of where we should be so let's turn back across it we're now flying back towards the horizontal position we should be but we're not flying towards the runway we'll be flying towards the runway when we're flying towards the Green Arrow so we're going to turn back towards it so now we're flying towards the runway but we are too high so let's cut the engine and descend and here comes the green diamond on the altitude it's coming back so if you imagine looking outside imagine the runway's out there somewhere there's a line in the sky that's coming up past us at the moment we are almost in line above it it's slightly to our right and it's below us and we're dropping down so I'm going to turn right towards it and keep falling here comes the green diamond so I'll raise the nose as we get near it and now so we're more or less on it now look we cannot keep an eye on the Wind see the arrow on the wind is the wind is going to be pushing us left so we need to be turning right so there's the Airfield we're actually going this way so we're crabbing slightly already we're in 40 knot winds at the moment but I expect they will drop off as we get closer so rather than us fish around flying this all the way in let's see if we can re-engage approach mode Glide slip there it goes now autopilot means it's not on it is now so the red flashing autopilot means I hadn't switched it on so I had engaged approach mode I had not turned the autopilot back on but now it is back on so it's reacquired its position vertically and now it's going to we're not it's not following it though like we have to use nav as well okay so that's my mistake nav handles the horizontal component of the approach the approach button in this version of the G1000 is only the vertical component and it hasn't acquired it that's because we didn't come in from above from below the Glide slope yeah so let's disengage the autopilot and just fly it by hand so at this point we can zoom in we can see we are above we can see the runway name but let's go and at least get the instruments agreeing with what we're doing popping gently down so the diamond on the altitude ribbon are in the right place there we go so we lifting those so we don't drop as quickly we're still descending and mercifully the wind is dying away as we get lower which is what you typically expect so this is Chico Municipal we're approaching so this point is just a case of keeping an eye on the Glide slope and the heading I mean we can see the runway anyway there's no big surprise but if the weather had been a lot worse we would have absolutely relied on those instruments to take us down to the wrong way so it's not too bad actually in the real aircraft you have a decision height that is based both on your training and the aircraft type about and what equipment is available on the aircraft about if you can't see the ground as a given altitude then you um and given your qualifications for flying with instruments you have to make a decision on if you can land or not and that's why simulators exist so you can try situations that you are not qualified for and obviously I'm not qualified for any of this I'm not a real world pilot at all okay so we're just turning left a little bit to get back on the center line start slowing down so we can extend the flaps you'll notice on the indicated AirSpeed ribbon that is a white area that is the safe speed to deploy flaps so we're a little bit below the Glide slope so we're just raising the nose gently you will notice the markers for the um the Glide slope on the horizontal and vertical axis will move a lot more violently the closer you are to the to the runway and it's important you don't chase them you have to keep in mind the direction the runway is and form a picture in your head if you can't see the wrong way and don't just blindly chase them trying to keep them in the middle because you will get wildly out of control if you start playing that game okay flaps out and good time flaps up increase the engine to taxi and we're just going to get off the Runway and then I'll stop recording so yeah so that was a good example today of a short flight playing with the various autopilot modes and seeing what the G1000 could do in terms of instrumentation display nearly nearly missed the turn um yeah it was a good example of navigating with vlrs navigating with GPS and playing around with the course and the heading mode and then doing an ILS landing and following the localizer in so I'm going to park up on this taxiway and get in everybody's way and then stop recording so let's have a look so put the parking brake on have a look outside and there's our long suffering Cessna and I'm going to leave it there so I'll see you again soon
