Garmin G3X Demo

good morning everybody so i got a lot of requests to work with the uh or show off the garmin g3x system so i'll try to do a little demonstration for you today from uh take off to lightning so the ataharas is just getting uh initialized right now it only takes about a minute or so and it looks like it's all set so before we get going let's pick up some traffic information so the radio for the radio features are pretty easy to do you can store your favorites or you can just program them in or find closest nearest airports based on your flight plan recent ones you've used or once i've saved hazardous weather information available on flight service frequencies advise on initial contact you have information kilo kilo mater airport information kilo weather at one five zero zero zulu wind one eight zero at five weather is better than five thousand and five temperature one seven dew point one two altimeter two niner eight six runway two two left two two right nine or eight six so you can either type it in directly or you can use the uh soft key or the dial over here all right transponder set to ground set my ground frequency and we're all set so where are you going to get started let's go through the startup sequence start power on playing a on line b on all right kill pumps on clear prop start power off turn on my second apis standby landing lights on all right so we're all set so i'm going to go ahead and call up ground and get clearance to taxi good morning method ground november 75 to papa x-ray at may through aviation with kilo radiated taxi november 752 papa x-ray made the rear ground runway two two right takes the alpha problem two two right alpha bravo to pop extra all right so we got our clearance so while we're taxiing i'll show you a little bit about what's going on here so you can have a split screen which is what i'm doing now and in this case it's showing us our geo reference position on the airport so i can see exactly where we are i can see all the taxiways denoted with the proper letters and the runways if there's any other airplanes in the area that will show up on the map which is pretty cool all right so i'm gonna go ahead and turn you guys off and then we'll come back on when we get to the run-up area all right hey everybody so we're back we're almost to the run-up area so the run-up on the rotax 912 is pretty straightforward i'll go through that for you all right we're in position setting the brake first thing we want to do is make sure that the oil temperature is efficient it's in the green which is good let's go ahead and get to 4 000 rpm all right there we go so we're going to turn lane a off lose a couple instruments and lay an a back on did not have a significant rpm drop all right light back on lane be off lost about 30 rpm which is fine lost a couple more instruments and be back on and lambie light back go back to 2000 rpm what we're doing now is because this is fuel injected we want to make sure fuel pumps are working well all right so fuel psi 38.8 turn the main pump off psi drops a little bit engine's still running main pump back on psi comes back up hillary pump off psi drops and i'm sorry pump back on looks good all right flap set for 10 autopilot check i'm gonna set the heading and left stick is indicating left right stick is indicating right autopilot disconnect and all the flight surfaces are clear and free and true all right so uh what we're going to do is we're going to climb out we're at 100 feet elevation we can turn around at 600 feet otherwise it's straight ahead well tips are good psi good rpm is good coolant's good we are on the fullest tank and volts amps all look good all right all right i think we're ready to go let's switch over to the tower frequency a little button on the stick that will switch it otherwise you can just click the primary and i'll go back and forth okay three towers style seven five two pop extra holding short teacher ready bravo for left turn up seven five two five x-ray may tower runway two two right curve take off two two right clear for takeoff two pop x right all right so i'm going to grab the center line and apply power should get about five thousand five thousand one hundred rpm and we'll rotate right around 50 knots all right our center line engine still looks good and here we go all right full rpm full throttle rpm looks great down the runway right throttle or right rudder 50 knots and we'll start to rotate off we go the 10 degrees out andrew here my tango go ahead i was here mike tango just wondering uh can we tango you can see we get a pretty healthy climb rate about a thousand feet per minute at 80 knots 0.65 is there a radio show i can help you with [Applause] all right so i'm gonna go ahead and concentrate on flying here a little bit get us into the practice area now i'll come back with you guys in a few minutes and then we'll go over some of the features a little bit all right hey everybody uh so we're back uh finally up to my cruise altitude at 6 500. and as you can see we're doing a respectable 100 knot true at 4 900 rpm and just burning three and a half gallons of gas per hour so let's go through a little bit through the g3x system and on the left side you can see is all the engine instruments uh manifold pressure rpm we're in eco mode which just means that it's uh controlling the fuel quite nicely and our gallons per hour oil pressure oil temp egt giving me the highest temperature on cylinder four manifold temperature and my field quantity left and right if i want to know any of more information about this i can just simply click on that and then the right side screen gets more details or get my fuel calculation as well let's go back our primary flight display here obviously is a tape all of our v speeds are noted on here uh we can see our wind is at three knots 250 magnetic our trim settings our heading and our artificial horizon with synthetic vision our altitude altitude bug which i could set here or i have uh through the autopilot i can set it as well and then on the right side of the screen you can set it for anything you want in this case i have the map view we could do uh vfr charts we could do ifr charts we could do our waypoints flight plan in this case uh i could find my home airport and i'll go ahead and give you some information back there i can pick up full-time weather radar clouds echo tops winds aloft at any altitude that i want temperatures aloft lightning storm cells metars air mats cygnets tfrs reports etc there's a lot of weather information that's available to us terrain i'm flying out to the flat stuff right now so we're not going to see much but if i were to zoom out here a little bit i could see that my current altitude what my profile is so i'm going to clear everything but on the map i can see where i'm going to hit stuff so to the this direction over here is the sierra so obviously we did some stuff all right so let's go back to map we're going to start flying into some moas here so what i'm going to do is i'm going to use the autopilot and i'm going to just have the plane just turn us to a new heading you see it's doing a pretty good job i'm not touching the stick at all continue the turn and the autopilot's just gonna set us up great turn a little bit more there we go so we'll just head in uh weatherly direction let's do 180. uh transponders up here uh just click it put in your transparent code fbfr ident here the ident buttons over here as well the auto audio panel i can isolate myself music change effects there's 3d com and ics and basically allows me to have one ear cup isolated for one thing and then the other ear cup for something else pretty cool again the frequencies which we'll go over um again you can just type it in if it's given to you if you want to find it i can go ahead and put in any of my recent ones i've used i can select an airport typing in the airport code i can find the nearest airports in this case let's say um sacramento executive click on this and it'll give me all the frequencies for adis ground tower unicom etc for this airport i can say well i want the information on it i can see a picture of where it's at the altitude what kind of fuel that they have bearing and distance any frequencies that they have i can take a look at the runways and it's smart enough to know that the weather over at mather would tell me that runway 2-0 is going to give me the best uh direction for landing i could be a four knot headwind zero knock crosswind which is pretty awesome um and then if you're coming at night it tells you the frequencies for the lights so i can click this on and off i want to pick up the real-time weather there i can just go and click weather it'll pull up the observed about an hour ago pouring out 200 degrees visibility sky clear if there's any other airports nearby i'll give this to me as well any nodems will show up on there the aopa directory will show up a bunch of information about flight schools service and restaurants and whatever and i can pull up the chart diagrams as well that's pretty awesome that's that's phenomenal stuff keep hitting back here all right so i normally fly with this particular setup or i have the primary light display on one side and then the map display on the other um the map's got some pretty interesting stuff uh right now it's georeferenced to the direction i'm going i can click on the compass and i'll switch to north so if i want to just get a north um view of that click it again it'll go switch back i can see my airplane and anything that's on the screen i can pretty much just touch it and it'll give me some extra information so for example rio vista and click that it'll say rio vista 23 msl if i want more information i can just click here and now i get back to the airport information i can get frequencies runway i can look at the weather there it's 22 gusting 27 i'm probably not going to be flying there today so it would not be a great place to land but that's pretty amazing that we can get that stuff off there uh same works or anything else i can zoom in here and i see a couple plans out here so i can click on this uh first of all it tells me negative five and it gives me the tail number which is really cool it's tommy it's 500 feet below me currently i click on it and it's on me at 61.50 feet his course track and ground speed is 244. um i have a trendline set up so in this case it's a two minute trend line and in about two minutes he's gonna be right in front of me so in this case what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna go ahead and deviate a little bit to the left and get out of his way you see that trend line gives me a little bit more distance from him so i'm not going to have to worry about him too much so basically anything that's on here i want to click this works for airspace as well so i click on the alert area it tells me where it's at 6000 surface um in this case i do have a class c around here i have uh sacramento international if i click on any of the waypoints i click on any of the tiers it gives me the altitudes for those tiers pretty awesome now if i want to go somewhere so for example if i want to go to lodi airport and just click on this and then i can hit the direct button and just say okay yeah that's kind of what i want to do activate and then on the autopilot i'll just hit the now button and off again we're going to turn on course and it'll take me right to that airport there we go i mean it's a better pilot i am that's pretty amazing all right so that's a really good high level overview i can uh go ahead and go back to full screen if i go to full screen i can see a number of items on here first of all i see a set of boxes and that is the autopilot's path that it wants to take so it's going to start working its way over there if i want to i could true it up again and just say hey just work from here so it's going to go direct from this point so the autopilot will just fly through those boxes for me i can turn the autopilot off and hand fly it and then the flight director will still display those boxes so i can hand fly it just as if the autopilot were flying which is pretty cool so on this particular display we have a couple chevrons you see the green and the magenta ones the green one is the actual attitude of the plane where it's pointing the magenta one is the autopilot where the autopilot wants the plane to be so because it's flying it's gonna put it right where it wants to be so those two should be fairly lined up you notice that the magenta is colored in it's solid that means that the autopilot is working it is taking uh control of the plane at this point if i were to turn the autopilot off which i'll do but now i'm in charge and you can see that those chevrons are now outlined so it's just telling me that's what the flight director wants me to do but i'm free to do whatever i want if i come over here the chevrons are going to tell me hey if you want to go where you want to be you need to be back over here so in this case i'll go ahead and put us back into the right place where we need to be if i were to activate the autopilot again just activate go solid and it'll start working its way over but we'll just make its job a little bit easier we'll just screw it up again you'll notice there's a little green target circle there uh in this particular case we don't have much wind up here but if we did have a pretty significant crosswind that will show you where the plane is actually going versus where it's pointing so as you know if i have a big crosswind i am let's say from the left that circle is going to be significantly to the right the plane is pointing straight ahead but it is moving to the right uh side because i have a left crosswind that's helpful for you to just kind of see i don't want the chevrons pointing in the box i want that circle to be pointed in the box um let's see what else do we have on here we have in this particular case we do have a small version of our flight plan we do have our hsi so you can see we're true up here and everything's looking pretty good so you can tell my heading and i do get a small kind of adsb in version so i can see what's what's around me as well and i can click on any of these things so if i were to click on this it'll show that on the right hand side screen and with the flight plan if i were to click that the flight plan shows up um some cool stuff so let's say we're on the map view and let's say that well i have some weather in a particular area i want to get around it but i still have my flight plan i really don't want to disrupt everything what i could do is say menu graphically edit the flight plan and then what it's going to do is show me this rubber band around anything i want so let's say i want a rubber band there i might use a waypoint say okay save it and now the plane knows i need to hit that waypoint so now it switches and starts turning onto that waypoint for me pretty cool stuff um so again i can see the chart view for those of you familiar with the chart view same thing i can click on almost anything i want on here click on airports and just hit more information some of the stuff on the maps can be fairly close to each other in that case what you'll do is you'll see these little green arrows so i can say i want to just kind of move around in this case i had an airport and a waypoint kind of close to each other [Applause] so i can just move that if i can't directly click on it there you go so that's a lot of the cool stuff on here um i think we'll call it oh no oh i forgot some stuff on top so because i do have my waypoint information in here it's gonna give me some other cool information so waypoint five distance the waypoint is seven miles distance my destination is twelve and a half my eta is four and a half miles my fuel on destination is 15 gallons you can configure these to be anything that you want you kind of see these on the flight plan as well so on the flight plan again these columns you can configure them i just have a leg distance and leg et so it's seven miles to that four miles after that's another four and a half or four point eight miles and another two and a half minutes so i can continue to add this as i want so in this particular case i am going to remove all these i'm going to add a waypoint which is my normal airport and i'm going to hit direct activate all right so some other features that we can do our nearest so let's say i need to get down in a hurry i can hit the nearest button and pick any of my nearest airports again it'll put it right into the flight plan give me my frequencies tell me my directions i can pick up weather at any of those particular spots as well um let's see what else i'm getting outside air temperature getting outside air temperature my compass and there i believe and in this particular case i believe it's giving me that's my gps course this is my uh closest airport so as i'm flying it's always trying to figure out what my closest airport is so i turn on the autopilot navigation back to my home airport and it's now just flying in that particular direction all right so i think that's a a good set of what's going on uh i'll go ahead and turn it off for now and we'll turn it back on again when we get close to our arrival and i'll show you some cool features there all right so all right so i'm back and uh what i'm going to do is i have the autopilot set to come back to my normal airport as you can see where it's 6500 uh what i want to do is i want to get us down to pattern altitude which is 1100 feet so there's lots of different ways you do this you could do the mental math and say okay i'm 13 minutes out i'm you know 5 thousand four hundred feet too high how fast do i have to descend to get there so you can do all that math if you want to however uh with the autopilot there's a better way to do this so in this case i'm gonna set the altitude bug to 1100 feet which is where i want to be okay so i can see that uh right up here and you can see those boxes descended were way down three turning left uh it wants me to be way way down there all right so what i could do now is on the autopilot i'm going to say i want a vertical speed mode and in this particular case i want to descend at a certain speed so in this case i'm saying 200 feet per minute 300 feet per minute 400 feet per minute and what you'll find here in a second is you'll start seeing a little arc show up on the map there it is so there's our arc right there now what that's telling me this works both for ascending and descending is that is telling me what my position on the map will be where i'll hit that target altitude so now i can use that the autopilot and start dialing in where i want to hit that spot so i want to hit about five miles out this is you know pretty close to there so i'm doing a uh pretty good descent so now i'm just playing it and letting it go if i slurp a little bit apart maintenance frequency takes the part is frequency let's say two one see it move around a little bit as i'm working my way down to the skyline 4928 sarah's with practice [Applause] the number 49280 method tower runway 2-2 left clear for the option all right so that's pretty pretty cool stuff um if you have a gtn or navigator i'm sure there's a lot more features i don't have one in this particular plane and i'll save that for those of uh those of you who do have it so i'm going to turn it off for now and as we get a little closer to our arrival we'll go ahead and turn it back on all right hey everybody so welcome back uh so about 12 miles out so let's go and pick up the weather one niner dew point one two altimeter two niner eight six standard runway two two left two two right in use expect visual approach runway two two left use caution for bird activity in the vicinity of the airport runway two two right four left runway light out of service hazardous weather information available on flight service frequencies advise on initial contact you have information lima all right [Music] [Applause] you guys can see my uh position arc is spot-on traffic no factor contact departure switching to park to talk to you saying to it there tower for cell 75 x-ray 3500 descending 10 to the south with lima november 752 pop x-ray made the tower out dent hi dent hip hop x-ray number 752 pop x-ray i didn't observe 10 miles south field 3400 and i left down one reported being the tower left downwind report beatman's hour two pop x-ray all right so airport straight ahead we're just going to continue to descend until we get to our pattern altitude [Applause] as you can see i've got a couple planes in the pattern already let's keep an eye on those they're going to have us do a left down win or probably 2-2 right would be my guess 8-3 whiskey mather tower runway 2-2 left clear to land two two left three with kappa all right so we're back we're getting close to the airport within five miles eight zero zero turn right taxiway delta taxi apart from my frequency a little bit right there uh remain over again [Music] all right so we're gonna let the plane get us down to our target altitude which is 100 feet starts slowing up a little bit here about 500 feet to go and we start seeing the boxes are coming into play here i have it start getting us into the right pattern now remember 665 charlie whiskey runway two two right click for takeoff straight out departure approved to sacramento executive and the plane's starting to pitch itself up there we go look at that that's pretty cool all right autopilot disconnect to apply it the rest of the way here my ground frequency setup find user ground look at that that's pretty easy remember 752 pop x-ray continuing downwind uh traffic pilatus two mile final for the left for a trapping site all right continuing i have traffic inside chipotle november two papa x-ray bass turn behind that traffic runway two two right clearly all right behind the planets two two right clear line two pop x right almost a beam let's start getting down to flap speed at 82 i'm going to put 10 degrees in pitch a little bit and then 20 degrees trim term is nice and stable 75 all right the bodice is over the numbers let's start our turn their nose down a little bit we have two two right in sight big gums check gas good undercarriage is fixed make sure don't worry about it it's uh fuel injected and safety seat belts lights and i am talking to the tower and i have the runway inside no one on final no one on the runway i want your airspeed 74. all right let's start our turn funnel in eight three with the alcohol short runway two two right for arriving traffic we'll hold short of two two right a three whiskey alpha omega seven one heavy method ground runway two two right taxi let's get our airspeed down yeah right on the numbers speed's looking good slow down a little bit get our nose out i have a center limb and because we've got a plane waiting for us we'll just land a little longer yeah we got it 2065 four nine two eights here in my tower quiet yeah nice grace landing get off that delta [Music] the alpha delta parking alpha two pop x here thanks for helping if we wish you bravo crossroads 2-2 right at delta where you're parking today okay cross 2-2 right for 8-3 west key alpha energy alpha where are you parking today uh we're going to the jet center for through alpha throughout scale for audrey texas chat center via tech's way off have a good day 83 west galvan made the town skyline four nine two eight series with you on the practice i left two two left and this approach is going to terminate with a missed approach please trying to tear my tower only two two left click the option there's the option two two left two eights there all right guys well that was exciting that was a lot of fun um hopefully you got a good overview of the garmin g3x system uh as you can see i've got two of them and a g5 backup which is just a phenomenal setup i honestly could not be any happier with uh garmin in this particular case so that's about it if you guys have any questions or comments go ahead and leave them and if you want to see something else or any particular feature let me know and i'll try to get that for you all right talk to you guys later
