Great series of videos. Though I do feel that these glass cockpit planes don't feel as fun since it's mainly set up the auto pilot and let it deal with the VORs and Departure Procedures by itself. Obviously in the real world, it all makes it nicer to fly, but there's something fun about the challenge of triangulating using only the instruments and frantically dialling in the frequencies.
Quick question. On arrivals, if I select an approach via the waypoint ahead of me, it chooses the one behind me forcing my autopilot to 180. Is there something im doing wrong or is it a bug? Im still learning so some advice on this would be appreciated. Thankyou
What Is A "Back Course" Approach? - When you fly a localizer back course approach (LOC BC), you're navigating to the runway using horizontal guidance off of a localizer system, but in the opposite direction that you'd normally use the localizer. Navigation is very similar to a localizer-only approach, but with a few key differences. - More info here: www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/systems/how-to-fly-a-localizer-back-course-approach/
I watched your Garmin 1000 program and have to admit, my IFR background goes decades back and with all new tech, its a bit confusing. First, the Nav frequencies weren't anywhere in the cockpit to program. Second, doing Low Enroute Airways, is the G1000 Auto Pilot automatically supposed to just track and load the whole flight? In my first attempt, I could not load any frequencies, couldn't find them on the flight plan, AP wouldn't follow and to top it all off, the AP kept shutting off when I engaged it. I was using the DA62. In my case I was flying YXX to YLW, mountainous BC in rain. The worst of it was that the speed strip wasn't even showing any speed. I kept loosing altitude and ATC kept hounding me. Later I practiced in better conditions and on low flat terrain but still had trouble when the CDI was engaged to NAV. It worked fine with headings but maybe I am having the wrong expectations of automation.

You, sir, are a genius.
Thanks for the videos, they have really helped me out a bunch. Also fact that most are in CT in which, grew up there, familiarity is a plus!

Agree 100%. Wish there were more 'steam' gauge aircraft. Of course in real life I'd love a decked out plane with a G1000 haha

Pretty sure i've heard other people complaining about that.

Sky173 This has nothing to do with the back crosses though.
@@joelmulder oh... you're right. Sorry. I completely misunderstood the question. Thanks for the clarification. Cheers.

Please do a separate CJ4 tutorial!
Thanks so much. Keep the tutorials coming...
Thanks!
