Private pilot

I am new to gps, following your lead

Great information, thank you

How do you set the time, nav group, position page.

Three years ago. What doing now, three years later?😅

If $6000 is a song sure they are available. Since this was posted Garmin announced end of life of product and parts phase out, like screens.

Can I see any of the Nexrad weather data on the 430W?

Wow! Good stuff!

Hello! Have you found a solution for LPV approaches with Reality XP? If so, could you please inform us so that we can address it? Thank you !

I just bought a Mooney M20J with a GNS 530W and was recommended this video as a place to start to learn it. Fantastic information and thoughtfully laid out. I have learned a ton and will be watching the rest of the series.

The first time I saw a turbo encabrilator video I worked at Hughes Aircraft and thought is was real for about 90 seconds. Just long enough to get a laugh out of the new collage grad engineer.

Please the link, for download de garmin simulator.???

Excelente.

One comment on flight simulators, there is another option for xplane realityXP uses the Garmin trainer and integrates the "real" GNS and GTN into the simulator.

One thing I don't understand. Why is it that when you were headed to ZENAP and you set your altitude to 12000 the VSR was still decrementing? If you had attained the target altitude of 12000, shouldn't it zero-out?

One of the best instructors I've had the privilege to watch, what a great video. THANK YOU

Mike, you frequently mention the simulator data base. I use X-Plane 11 , and even that data base I did not renew my database subscription and its out of date with numerous charts in a year or so. I had to pay a monthly subscription of 15 Euros to get it back up to date for practicing with current charts. For your videos, I simply place X-Plane 11 at you departure and duplicate your entries into the Garmin 530. I use a Stand Alone Garmin 530 so I twist knobs and press buttons exactly as its done in a real cockpit. Those twists and presses are essential to get your brain into gear thru time and repetition.

Im trying to fit my brain around how these garmins work for sim flights in mfs2020...its fun still😅

This is priceless. Thank you for taking the time to put this together!

What a great information ❤

You mentioned a little about other flight simulators; I am looking to do this but am looking at all of the options out there they are numerous; and it is difficult to pick one to choose; do you have a preference or guidance in this area? Great video!!! Thanks

I have had mine for years; gns 430, and I am also guilty of the direct to; that is what I have used the most

I believe this is the last one; I have watched all of them ; tremendous job; I learned a whole lot on the GNS series, and this will definitely help me in the plane. I will be going back to them for reference many times I am sure; I am going to re-watch the one on Holds, and Approaches in particular. I know it was a lot o hard work making these videos. THANKS!!!

Great Video: I learned a lot as usual

Another great training video!!!!, as always I learned a lot. Thanks

Another totally outstanding class; I learned a lot, and will definitely watch all of these in the series; THANKS!!!! this is very very valuable training!!!

Very cool concept and content! Best of luck with the show!!!

Please update the description of the airshow.

57:46 - Great tip and walkthrough. This is something I've been looking into and your video is the most detailed explanation on it! Thank you!

Too wordy. Must be used to being paid by the hour.

36:51 -What a great video series! This is so helpful for finding your nearest airport and loading its frequency. Thank you!!!

At 30:37 There was nothing indicating 260. How did it track to 260?

Thank you very much guys for share with all of us!

Awesome videos

Can we still get wings credit for doing the TH-cam videos?

Hey Mike, thank you so much for uploading your Webinars, it's very vell presented and helps tremendously.

Awesome Review

Mike, Which model flight stream do you have and which iPad app do you use to put airways in to the 530? I appreciate your detailed explanations!

How can I sign up for future classes like the ForeFlight series you mentioned?

I find the use of VNAV on the 430/530 to be an onerous, clunky process…and the 430/530 VNAV won’t interface with the GNC 500 autopilot. The newer GTN’s will. I just use five times the required altitude to lose (and use field elevation for a buffer) for descent planning, remembering that the typical 300’/mile is the desired slot when close to destination. At the airline I saw so many depend on the FMS VNAV and then have to use the speed brakes to compensate and correct for the poor profile. You could always tell who were the ex-DC-8 pilots when they did the descent planning. There were no speed brakes on the DC-8, so you had to plan it properly or use the inboard reversers, which most operators prohibited except for emergency descents.

Thanks, Mike. Missed it live on Thursday, so watched the recording.

Thanks!

Hi Mike, not sure how else to contact you so - just commenting on this... Regarding the final Part 9 episode. Here's an idea - "from the mailbag". Activating an approach. What does that mean exactly? Not much. It simply means that you have an active waypoint that is "below the banner". There is no need to push an activate button, but rather just a need to ensure you have an active WPT that is on the approach - either through direct-to or active leg. I think that understanding this is helpful because, as we know, using the activate button takes you directly to a fix now. That's likely NOT what you want to do, since you are likely on vectors at that point. So, I think it's actually better to get in the habit of activating a leg, or proceeding direct WHEN YOU ARE CLEARED, rather than prior to that. Thanks for this great series, which really applies to other Garmin navigators too - just because of the Garmin logic. Roger (a fellow AA guy - retired)

Hello, Mike! I was surprised to "see" you at our Tucson IMC zoom meeting last night! I was the guy sitting on the couch to the left. I don't have a 530 or 430, but enjoy watching your videos. Maybe sometime you could do a short presentation for our Tucson IMC meetings?

Great presentation. Thanks, Capt'n Mike

Are the SoCal TRACON controllers familiar with the Land Use Agreements for the airports that they are directing traffic to, when it comes to approaches before hand off? We have a problem with VFR jet pilots exceeding maximum speed and deviating from approaches that are zoned and set up for their safety in case of an emergency (flying where if they did come down it would be worst case scenario for everyone involved). In some cases, they are coming in too fast under minimum safe altitude outside the area of the airport, over homes and some are coming in so hot, they are having to go around instead of land their first try at the runway. It leaves it up to the community to file complaints that are often ignored by the FSDO. We also have flight schools and flight clubs flying under minimum safe altitude, sometime their entire trip from one airport to another. Again, over homes, schools, stadiums with events, etc. leaving it up to citizens to complain about safety, pilots not using the areas zoned for their safety and at altitudes prescribed by the FAA. Compliants ignored by the FSDO. The local airport says that this is a TRACON issue since it is outside the area of the airport. Is there anything that can be done proactively to make safety and compliance as much, if not more, of a priority as density of traffic? The same document that places important on promoting commerce also says, "(3). Does not derogate safety or adversely affect the safe and efficient use of airspace;" My local airport (KCRQ) ATC manager says that they are so busy that they cannot guide pilots in at the handoff (only order them in and out) because they don't have the training, bandwidth and/or system to support the increase in traffic. Pilots have stated that it has turned into a, "Try not to get hit," scenario with this amount of unguided traffic all flying VFR randomly combined with excess speed, intersecting flight paths, proximity to military operations, etc. This seems like a major gap in ATC that is a danger to pilots, passenger and public. Can you please address this with the FAA and SOCAL TRACON? I am also actively lobbying Congress for an upgrade to our local tower but in the mean time, can TRACON work with municipal airports to comply with sending jets on approach that would align with the safe path (keeping them in compliance with their Land Use Agreement and their agreement with the federal government to provide a safe air space, keeping the pilot in compliance with FAA regulations for speed and altitude) to the airport at the time of handoff to increase safety and reduce community compliants? Also can TRACON better watch the airspace outside of airports that are heavy with flight training where these problemed altitudes exist/altitude violations. Part of the problem is that student pilots are flying at minimum safe altitude but then the land elevation changes to much higher than the airport and now that otherwise legal altitude becomes an unlawful altitude. Common sense says that the flight instructors would correct this but they aren't so it become's the public's problem (not cool). Can it be encouraged by ATC to have those students fly at an optimal altitude instead of minimum so the 'mistakes' that they are making gives them a better buffer to not compromise safety and again, reduce public complaints. That would go a long way in creating better balance between the aviation community and the community that has air traffic over it.

I finally had to stop watching these on the fifth one. 75 percent of the viewers use the 430 yet the 430 simulator was shut down within the first 10 minutes or so and the 530 was started up and was used for the vast majority. This has happened in all the videos i've watched up through the fifth one. Sorry just cant take it anymore

I wish someone would update this, and/or do a better job replicating it in MSFS and Xplane. Every time I try to do what I've learned on the real thing or on this box it's really annoying when it doesn't work in MSFS
