He uploaded one yesterday that steps through the process quite nicely. I've never heard of it before, and can handle ILS with ease now. The video is that good.
@@c.f.1133 yes I've seen it but even with the ils frequency that I get from google I never get the glideslope it just goes over the airport, is it a USA thing only ?
@@ElRamaxx You need to be at the correct altitude at a certain distance from the runway to capture the glideslope. Make sure approach mode is armed and that before you catch the glideslope 'GS' is in white on your PFD.
The yaw damper should not be turned on until after take off, gear up, flaps up. You need full rudder control on takeoff roll with something as powerful as the TBM, there is a reason you put so much rudder trim for take off. On take off and landing the yaw damper can your reduce your ability to be able to deal with things like propwash and crosswinds. You need all the control authority you can get in these situations. Also, regarding the inertial separator. TBM do a video on the subject if you want more information but basically you don't turn it off unless you fly higher than 5000 feet, this is to prevent foreign object damage from debris on the runway or birds up to altitudes they are known to inhabit. Also, while rain is not an issue if you combine it with icing conditions then the inertial separator should come on as it can protect damage from ice build up breaking off into the engine, this can also ruin your day. As a rule of thumb, turn it off if the sky is clear and your past 6000 feet or if your on your way down and the sky is clear once you hit 10000 feet which is an easy number to remember. Also if your at higher altitudes and are in icing condtions, turn it on with your other deicing systems! I would say be aware when disabling it as you climb on 100% torque as you will get a spike of up to 20% because of the extra air getting into the engine (the separator as the name suggests is basically a bypass) which could put you in the red damaging the engine but I don't think this is modelled in MSFS or if it is there is no real consequence. Just thought I'd add my 2 cents.
@@PGatcomb Thank you for this extra information. I was unsure of what the inertial seperator is, and what it does, and this kind of explains it, and how/when to use it.
For all people who can't activate the Autopilot on the Daher ! -> Activate the AP trim on the upper right above your head first. A nice guy posted that somewhere, saved me a headache ;-)
Heres how to land ILS in the TBM: G3000 Obtain LOC frequency in TBM: [center bottom screen]Press MFD -> Press Waypoint Info -> Airport -> Select Airport (the destination you want to ILS on if its available at that airport) -> enter airport code -> scroll down to reveal the LOC frequency for ILS. Set Radio and ILS approach: Get LOC frequency for ILS -> [center bottom screen]NAV COM -> Audio & Radios -> Set Nav1 to LOC frequency -> Press “Xfer” -> [top left screen] PFD Settings -> Bearing 1 set to Nav1 -> Listen to ATC to get the right height -> watch Nav1 Capture the LOC -> [Auto pilotcontrol] Press ‘APR’ mode -> watch the glide slope appear. Note: its not fully automated like the a320 … it will land itself but not flare so youll have to do that last bit yourself.
One really cool thing about the G3000 is that you can actually split each one of the screens in half and fill it up with your page of choice; HSI Charts, Systems, etc., so you can look at 4 pages at the same time.
I've seen many tutorials on the Avionics on TH-cam and on Reddit. Almost nobody is talking about the importance of the TO/GA button. It positions the flight director at the proper pitch (usually 7-10°) for a takeoff, or if you have to go around after a missed approach. It is usually a button located on the side, or underneath (like in the SR22) the Throttle and it is a very important feature for take-off. Usually available on aircraft larger than the Cessna 172 (and separate Garmin GMC Autopilot unit), or the larger jets with the Pro Line 21 and even commercial airliners. Hope this helps!
I love the TBM G3000 suite. This is the best plane in the game imo. This plane is very intuitive after watching some tutorials. 2 weeks ago I knew nothing about how this plane works!
One for the TBM jockeys here... I took it for a first flight an hour ago and couldn't get the autopilot to engage. After faffing around the panels for a few minutes, I discovered an A/P trim or similar on the overhead copilot side, which when flipped on , allows the autopilot to function as expected. There isn't as mach depth as I had hoped for, but the 3rd party specialists will have a field day with the G3000/G5000 in time to come. This is a staggering starting point.
Yet another brilliant instructional video. I'm hoping for some live streams in the future. If Mr Gatcomb continues in this vein he will have 50k subs before the end of the year.
The function of the Inertial Separator is to help prevent foreign object damage (FOD) to the engine. It is recommended to use it by energizing the separator when the aircraft is on the ground and during the landing approach, as this will prevent FOD particles from entering the compressor section ... Also when flying into clouds when the temperature is below freezing so as to avoid the possibility of ice entering the engine.
Looking forward to your VOR tut. I’m having trouble using existing games flight planner as VOR stations come up as localizers and i don’t get bearing info as i hoped for. If you can take us through the different VOR in game that would be helpful along with different nav aids on non gps aircrafts where only radios are options. Great job on all the videos recently really enjoying your approach to how you deliver them. Thanks!
Thx a lot for those tutorials, never fly a plane and now a can take off with a 320 neo from Los Angeles and autopilot to Las Vegas, all while sipping a gin a tonic looking at the view.
Thanks so much for this video! I feel like I understand these concepts so much more than I did yesterday. It was super informative and I'm not nearly as scared of the G3000 and more specifically the autopilot as I was before. Your videos have saved many an imaginary passenger from certain doom.
I thought I knew some stuff about the TBM but there's a reason why this takes training! Thank you for the detailed video, this'll make AP flying a little less bouncy!
The TBM is my go-to aircraft for just cruising around in-game because it's so much faster than the other single-engine props without a lot of extra complexity. I'm still a stranger to all the autopilot and Garmin functions, though, since the last time I was really into flight sims everything was still steam gauges. This tutorial has been super helpful!
Have you gotten into always using flight patterns at all airports yet? I recently did, and it took my ability with the sim to the next level. Its fun and immersive as well.
It's frustrating that we can't have this kind of instruction by default. It's like buying a plane (or 30 of them) without getting a single sheet of manual.
@@LtRiot The checklist is for parking brake, flaps, etc. Not to explain the functions of the glass cockpit. Additional, there are many bugs. How to find out if it's a bug or your fault if you have no expierence?
To be fair, most of the concepts in a flight sim are beyond the scope of a manual. If it's any consolation, none of the previous versions of FS or X-Plane had a manual either and video tutorials weren't available back then like they are today. You were either a pilot who know what they were doing or you learned by trial and error. This is the first time that an advanced flight sim has appealed to a more casual gaming audience and a lot users are feeling rather alienated. I wonder if Microsoft knew this and was relying/hoping that TH-cam would be a primary training resource for new users.
You can do an ILS approach by putting the localizer in NAV1 then switching Active NAV to LOC1 on your PFD. On the autopilot panel, change to NAV mode and then select APR and it will capture the glide slope once your altitude intersects the slope.
Awesome, I was trying to figure exactly how to do this. I selected the ILS approach in the procedures menu but it never captured the glideslope, probably because I was still on GPS/FMS
@@Galastin I believe they broke APR mode in the latest patch. Since the new patch, I've found that APR no longer captures an ILS glide slope. RNAV seems to work but the diamond never seems to move
keep them coming! Great video. Watched your g1000 videos and they were just what i needed and then yesterday i was trying the g3000 and having problems so the timing of this video was brilliant.
Hey man! I noticed your runway textures are blurry. Have you tried setting your Anisotropy setting to 16x? it doesn't compromise any performance at all.
Awesome videos, I have been trying to work some of this stuff out through trial and error because I couldn't find any clear tutorials. Thanks for these.
Could you show a outside veiw of the plane in the beginning of your videos so those of us are new and dont know the planes by name know which one you are doing a tutorial on? I do appreciate your tutorials a lot. I just dont know the planes by name and I need wait a couple hours before I can even get to my gaming computer lol
I have no idea if this matters in the simulator, but the TBM 930 POH (Section 2.2.6 - Limitations, Operation Limits, GFC 700 Autopilot Limits) says "The autopilot and yaw damper must be OFF during takeoff and landing." I know they tried to make most of the systems in the simulator as realistic as they could, especially for this aircraft, but I don't know where exactly things are "looser" than reality and by how much. The "and" in that line from the POH makes me think the YD can be engaged while the AP is not. This question might be silly in the context of the sim, but maybe a real pilot will know for sure: If the AP button is not illuminated (AP not engaged), are the YD button's state and other activated settings on that autopilot panel irrelevant until AP is actually engaged?
Hey P. Very nice video man. You are the type of guys i like when you explain everything in such detail and show us what your doing up close. I'm going to check out more of your stuff. If you have not done one of these on the autopilot for the Longitude yet , maybe you can do one with that plane. Keep up the great work.
Hi, if you are to high coming down for landing there is a way to loose Hight very quickly , turn the yoke left and compensate with right rudder , so you wil loose hight very fast and on an angle or sideway , I learn this technic when I learnt to flight. I love your tutorials straight to the point and don't go around biting the bush or unnecessary chatter
Could you please do something on the flight computers from the Cessna Citation CJ4? Your videos on the auto pilot have been extremely helpful to say the least! Still working on the ILS landing though
Gatcom, today i can say you succesfully teach me how to get this aircraft from parked and off, to full take off and altitude hold, auto pilot (sorry for my bad english and terminology, im a just-bearely-1-week enthusiast but very good at games), and now i just need you to teach us how to master the landings please 🙏
Great job on this system. I was trying to fly this aircraft yesterday and it was just giving me fits. I guess I should sit down and do a bit more reading like I did when I was learning the DA62.
For those of you that love this plane and want to be better at flying it for real life limits and configuration I have a link to the manual. Make sure your torque / outside air temp/ and speeds / n2 etc all line up with your settings for Max cruise landing takeoff etc . It is so good when you use those settings . This is by far my favorite plane on this sim. It’s not perfect! I hope they do improvements on it but it’s a solid aircraft... www.tbm.aero/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/PIM-930__AN__E0.pdf
Holy cow, i just got TBM for first time, and my home base is KMCO and closest TBM i could get on the openair thunder server atm was KTTS near cape canaveral and i flew it back to orlando. Wanted to see a few videos on this plane to really get understanding of all controls and first video i find is yours between orlando and cap canaveral? What the heck is those chances.
Excellent video. A bit too fast, and just amazing though. I was doing great with other versions of FS, this 2020 is a bit complicated and sometimes some of the default aircraft does strange things out of the blue...I am hanging it there trying to find out what is wrong, but so far, if I had to rate the 2020 in comparison with earlier versions, the 2020 would not be very welcome. Hope to learn more. By the way, I have 4K hours in real life and about 1500 in FS. Cheer
Your channel is insanely helpful. I am watching every single video. Can you please show us how to utilize approach mode? You did it in one of the previous vids but then you showed us an escape from that instead of landing it.... so I have no idea how to use it and when I try the plan gains a mind of its own and darts elsewhere. Helpppp
Excellent tutorial. Many thanks. I love the TBM but bugs in the system didn’t help me today. Pressed active pause and it stuck on pause. Had to close it down. 🤨
TY So much, this has helped me with the C208 so much. Still stuck on the flight planning without having to go to the main menu, no fancy touch screen keyboard in the C208 so still havent worked out the input for it
Very useful video. You should be able to go direct to approach options (ILS, RNAV, maybe even visual) from the procedure or proc key if this works in a similar way to the GTN750. It is a wonderful way to fly!
Since you seem to know your way around those pretty well, is there a way to adjust the brightness of the screens on this particular plane? The screens are really bright during night flights :P
I found your latest few videos very useful, and I bet this channel will skyrocket! However, using the autopilot for approaches and ILSes is still a mystery to me. Could you do a video on that?
(Not a correction, just an addition) The inert. sep should remain [ON] while taxiing in all environmental conditions. Additionally in conditions such as ice, snow, dust, smoke, etc. it should remain on during takeoff and/or landing as well. It is a function that filters out foreign objects from the engine intake. If failures are enabled in the sim, this could possibly lead to one.
Great video. Thank you. Does anyone know if there's a way, in game, to dim the PFD or MFD screens. The panel dimmer doesn't affect these and I can't find any other dimming controls.
This is known as VR and can be published by the manufacturer. In the G3000, once you have finished your fuel/weight/balance/wind stuff in the takeoff configuration, depending on the aircraft, the ones that do the calculation for you will show you the takeoff speeds and you have to accept them. Smaller planes usually don't do this so you have a chart that helps you configure them. Generally though, for this TBM, 90 knots is a good speed as long as you also have the correct flap setting. Once you accept the Vspeeds you will see them posted on the left side of your PFD right by the speed.
My question is; when we have a flight plan in from the sim then we set NAV to GPS and engage autopilot why doesn't it capture that track, it just does a tightening turn forever? Its as if that flight plan leg is not activated. What I'd like to do is select an IFR route using the sim, then when I get in the plane load that flight plan, set up HDG and ALT before take off then when resume navigation start using the flight plan its showing on the screen. Garmin is the best in business but they really are backward to use and you wouldn't easily figure it out intuitively, and its not obvious when its not working what its doing - I think that is because the process is largely the same as it was in the very early days and maintaining interoperability with existing systems.
Hi again. How you calculated the value 103° to the next airport at 3 mins of the video? What formula you used to get the value of 103°? I know you can get the value from the website before you take off but how we can calculate the value if we don't have a flight plan in the air?
VOR is very obsolete and rarely used in Jets. The G3000 is so powerful that it does all the math and work for you, so using VOR on such an advanced aircraft is like using pencil and paper to do your Calculus homework, when you have a Ti-83 Plus graphing calculator. In what you ask in particular, there are 2 ways to do it with VOR: 1) He mentions skyvector; so he looked at the VOR and tuned it in. If you tune in to the VOR of the current Airport and look at the Radial (circle on the diagram around the VOR showing all headings), the next airport was at 103°. When you rotate the bug to 103° it creates a course towards that heading which you can use for lateral navigation. 2) The other way to do it is to tune in the VOR of the next Airport (if it has one and it is close enough, VOR does have a functional range of around 200 miles). Once you tune it in, the needle will point towards it, however, if you wanna go directly towards it, you adjust the course until all parts of the needle are aligned. That will tell you at what heading the Airport is. With a GPS, just do a Direct To to that Airport, and you are done ;)
Your videos are great, is there any way you could do one on the CJ4? It uses an FMC but it different than the other jets and confuses me. Like there is a TUN button that lets you put in nav frequencies but I don't get how it works. Like of I want capture an ILS frequency and switch from GPS to VOR1 I don't get how to do it. I figured it out in most of the other planes but this one has me stumped lol.
please do a tutorial on ILS landings! Your way of explaining things is just magnificent keep the vids coming, cheers
He uploaded one yesterday that steps through the process quite nicely. I've never heard of it before, and can handle ILS with ease now. The video is that good.
@@c.f.1133 yes I've seen it but even with the ils frequency that I get from google I never get the glideslope it just goes over the airport, is it a USA thing only ?
@@ElRamaxx same, I ended up 20000feet above the landing runway
@@ElRamaxx You need to be at the correct altitude at a certain distance from the runway to capture the glideslope. Make sure approach mode is armed and that before you catch the glideslope 'GS' is in white on your PFD.
Didn't he say in this video that ils doesn't work in the tbm?
The yaw damper should not be turned on until after take off, gear up, flaps up. You need full rudder control on takeoff roll with something as powerful as the TBM, there is a reason you put so much rudder trim for take off. On take off and landing the yaw damper can your reduce your ability to be able to deal with things like propwash and crosswinds. You need all the control authority you can get in these situations.
Also, regarding the inertial separator. TBM do a video on the subject if you want more information but basically you don't turn it off unless you fly higher than 5000 feet, this is to prevent foreign object damage from debris on the runway or birds up to altitudes they are known to inhabit. Also, while rain is not an issue if you combine it with icing conditions then the inertial separator should come on as it can protect damage from ice build up breaking off into the engine, this can also ruin your day. As a rule of thumb, turn it off if the sky is clear and your past 6000 feet or if your on your way down and the sky is clear once you hit 10000 feet which is an easy number to remember. Also if your at higher altitudes and are in icing condtions, turn it on with your other deicing systems!
I would say be aware when disabling it as you climb on 100% torque as you will get a spike of up to 20% because of the extra air getting into the engine (the separator as the name suggests is basically a bypass) which could put you in the red damaging the engine but I don't think this is modelled in MSFS or if it is there is no real consequence. Just thought I'd add my 2 cents.

Hi, if you are to high coming down for landing there is a way to loose Hight very quickly , turn the yoke left and compensate with right rudder , so you wil loose hight very fast and on an angle or sideway , I learn this technic when I learnt to flight. I love your tutorials straight to the point and don't go around biting the bush or unnecessary chatter
This was great. Thank you! This aircraft on an IFR/ILS flight would be amazing
A+ GREAT VIDEO YOU ARE COMICAL AT TIMES.
Thanks so much! This taught me everything I needed to know. I appreciate you taking the time to make this.
This is my favourite aircraft in the sim, awesome tutorial!
Could you please do something on the flight computers from the Cessna Citation CJ4? Your videos on the auto pilot have been extremely helpful to say the least! Still working on the ILS landing though
Amazing! Please please make more tutorials for FS2020!
Gatcom, today i can say you succesfully teach me how to get this aircraft from parked and off, to full take off and altitude hold, auto pilot (sorry for my bad english and terminology, im a just-bearely-1-week enthusiast but very good at games), and now i just need you to teach us how to master the landings please 🙏
Great job addressing some detail of the aircraft. This info is really difficult to find. I find we need more of this for some of the complex aircrafts
I had a warning coming up in the display of the king-air and after searching on the internet i found the answer in a flight manual. Love it!
Great job on this system. I was trying to fly this aircraft yesterday and it was just giving me fits. I guess I should sit down and do a bit more reading like I did when I was learning the DA62.
You are an excellent instructor. Looking fwd to your next lesson. Thanks!
For those of you that love this plane and want to be better at flying it for real life limits and configuration I have a link to the manual. Make sure your torque / outside air temp/ and speeds / n2 etc all line up with your settings for Max cruise landing takeoff etc . It is so good when you use those settings . This is by far my favorite plane on this sim. It’s not perfect! I hope they do improvements on it but it’s a solid aircraft...

Holy cow, i just got TBM for first time, and my home base is KMCO and closest TBM i could get on the openair thunder server atm was KTTS near cape canaveral and i flew it back to orlando. Wanted to see a few videos on this plane to really get understanding of all controls and first video i find is yours between orlando and cap canaveral? What the heck is those chances.
Excellent video. A bit too fast, and just amazing though. I was doing great with other versions of FS, this 2020 is a bit complicated and sometimes some of the default aircraft does strange things out of the blue...I am hanging it there trying to find out what is wrong, but so far, if I had to rate the 2020 in comparison with earlier versions, the 2020 would not be very welcome.
Hope to learn more.
By the way, I have 4K hours in real life and about 1500 in FS.

Your channel is insanely helpful. I am watching every single video. Can you please show us how to utilize approach mode? You did it in one of the previous vids but then you showed us an escape from that instead of landing it.... so I have no idea how to use it and when I try the plan gains a mind of its own and darts elsewhere. Helpppp
Cool but how do I dim the displays? They're so blindingly bright at night!
Excellent tutorials for the beginner! Keep them coming plase. Subscribed!
Wonderful tutorial. Will be tuning in for more. Really well communicated.
Thanks for these videos. I’m struggling with getting the autopilot to work on this aircraft, and it’s 100% due to a lack of experience.
Excellent tutorial. Many thanks. I love the TBM but bugs in the system didn’t help me today. Pressed active pause and it stuck on pause. Had to close it down. 🤨
Excellent video! Any idea if you change the MFD from North Up to Track Up?? Haven’t been able to locate that.
Great video, very helpful! Keep it up!
TY So much, this has helped me with the C208 so much. Still stuck on the flight planning without having to go to the main menu, no fancy touch screen keyboard in the C208 so still havent worked out the input for it
Very useful video. You should be able to go direct to approach options (ILS, RNAV, maybe even visual) from the procedure or proc key if this works in a similar way to the GTN750. It is a wonderful way to fly!
Awesome and turbo-useful video, thank you, sir! And just one question - is ILS approach/landing possible with TBM?
Yes, its available. I think he was just saying that the airport he was landing at didn't have ILS available.
@@kslagerman Just tested it myself - yep, ILS approach in TBM works perfectly fine. Thank you for your reply! :)
Since you seem to know your way around those pretty well, is there a way to adjust the brightness of the screens on this particular plane? The screens are really bright during night flights :P
It's up top, in the overhead above the windscreen. Leftish side , I believe./
I found your latest few videos very useful, and I bet this channel will skyrocket! However, using the autopilot for approaches and ILSes is still a mystery to me. Could you do a video on that?
Very informative, thanks I love the TBM so far.
(Not a correction, just an addition) The inert. sep should remain [ON] while taxiing in all environmental conditions. Additionally in conditions such as ice, snow, dust, smoke, etc. it should remain on during takeoff and/or landing as well. It is a function that filters out foreign objects from the engine intake. If failures are enabled in the sim, this could possibly lead to one.
Great video. Thank you.
Does anyone know if there's a way, in game, to dim the PFD or MFD screens. The panel dimmer doesn't affect these and I can't find any other dimming controls.
Liked and subscribed. Please make more videos like this on different aircraft dude this is so helpful! Thanks a bunch
THANKS a ton for this video, im a noob and I love the TBM, this is really helpful!
id love to see a video on the approach setting under autopilot
hey can you show us how to work a missed approach on the G3000 TBM.
MSFS should have chosen you to do the tutorial flights.
how did u know the rotate speed is 90 knots
This is known as VR and can be published by the manufacturer. In the G3000, once you have finished your fuel/weight/balance/wind stuff in the takeoff configuration, depending on the aircraft, the ones that do the calculation for you will show you the takeoff speeds and you have to accept them. Smaller planes usually don't do this so you have a chart that helps you configure them. Generally though, for this TBM, 90 knots is a good speed as long as you also have the correct flap setting. Once you accept the Vspeeds you will see them posted on the left side of your PFD right by the speed.
Thank you! This was a really great tutorial!
Great video! You just earned a new subscriber
Thank you so much for this tutorial! You are awesome man!
My question is; when we have a flight plan in from the sim then we set NAV to GPS and engage autopilot why doesn't it capture that track, it just does a tightening turn forever? Its as if that flight plan leg is not activated. What I'd like to do is select an IFR route using the sim, then when I get in the plane load that flight plan, set up HDG and ALT before take off then when resume navigation start using the flight plan its showing on the screen. Garmin is the best in business but they really are backward to use and you wouldn't easily figure it out intuitively, and its not obvious when its not working what its doing - I think that is because the process is largely the same as it was in the very early days and maintaining interoperability with existing systems.
Hope they fix the fms/gps, I am not used to VOR
WE need a Beech Baron 58 with analog gauges and a garmin 500 in the middiel
GREAT video, you do make it look easy. Practice Practice
Hi again. How you calculated the value 103° to the next airport at 3 mins of the video? What formula you used to get the value of 103°?
I know you can get the value from the website before you take off but how we can calculate the value if we don't have a flight plan in the air?
VOR is very obsolete and rarely used in Jets. The G3000 is so powerful that it does all the math and work for you, so using VOR on such an advanced aircraft is like using pencil and paper to do your Calculus homework, when you have a Ti-83 Plus graphing calculator.
In what you ask in particular, there are 2 ways to do it with VOR:
1) He mentions skyvector; so he looked at the VOR and tuned it in. If you tune in to the VOR of the current Airport and look at the Radial (circle on the diagram around the VOR showing all headings), the next airport was at 103°. When you rotate the bug to 103° it creates a course towards that heading which you can use for lateral navigation.
2) The other way to do it is to tune in the VOR of the next Airport (if it has one and it is close enough, VOR does have a functional range of around 200 miles). Once you tune it in, the needle will point towards it, however, if you wanna go directly towards it, you adjust the course until all parts of the needle are aligned. That will tell you at what heading the Airport is.
With a GPS, just do a Direct To to that Airport, and you are done ;)
@13:50 you talk about flight plans. Will it allow you to choose a DP & STARs?
Your videos are great, is there any way you could do one on the CJ4? It uses an FMC but it different than the other jets and confuses me. Like there is a TUN button that lets you put in nav frequencies but I don't get how it works. Like of I want capture an ILS frequency and switch from GPS to VOR1 I don't get how to do it. I figured it out in most of the other planes but this one has me stumped lol.
Thank you .. I was looking all OVER for the GPS controls ... I just want my Direct to button! LOL. Not real intuitive, but you helped a bunch!
i dont know if you saw my comment from the last g1000 vid but thank you!
