The G1000 is amazing! Laminar Research has done a great job right out of the gate on this. It's super fun to use and I think I'll be using it every time I fly the 172. It's not very practical knowledge at this point but I still like it!
I was so confused on how to do ILS on the G1000, this helped a ton! Thanks!
Followed along right with ya! Learned a bunch! Thanks
Thanks!
Your video was good. I am just beginning to use the G-1000 myself after using the G-530 all the while. And I was speaking with you on the computer to lower altitude for 500 fpm would be nose up or nose down depending on .......... Ha, Ha. keep at it. Lots to learn on the 1000.
It's a great unit! Keep it up!
Thanks for a great vid! Really enjoyed your talking through all phases!
Thanks, Skinny!
I found myself yelling at my monitor, "VS button, nose down!"
You landed with the autopilot engaged, that is definitely not recommended for a GA aircraft. Autopilot dis-engage at minimums and then fly manually. Good Luck and have fun learning the sim thing.
I hear that a lot. Can someone explain why it is not recommended?
Because its not made for Cat III "Autoland"
How does one decide 'minimums'?
@@deepakvrao Pretty much every public airport has published approach plates called charts that tell you precisely how to approach a given runway and land safely. The thing is there is a lot of info on the charts/plates and you kinda have to know how to decipher them.
Why not? He landed the plane
My flight school has DA40s and 42s. All dual G1000. Pretty awesome to learn on
Josh Acosta That's awesome! They are for sure the future!
thanks for this... very complicated
Robert Carter Thanks for watching!
This was such a great video. I have yet to be successful seeing up an ILS, but I'll use your video to get better! again thank you for sharing
Awesome, John! Thanks for watching :) I'm not an instrument approach expert by any means but I hope it does help!
I've been trying to get an ILS approach set up for a while. I finally got my first flight plan made (with skyvector and x-planetools), loaded into the Garmin 1000, and set properly. And I flew the plan, which was exciting! But my approach and landing was practically illegal. :) So now looking to get my approach and landing down. This video helped a lot! Thanks!
Great video. Thanks 👍🏼
I'm giving this some thought. It's ingenious how you thought this out without using the G-1000 manual. The thought I am having is when the flight plan is saved it goes and creates a fms file. The fms flight plan is universal to any flight plan whether it was created in a G-530 or G-430. If you fly and use the G-530 with G-1000 flight plan you created, I would think the 530 way points would be the same. It just looks different on the graphical user interface. I know reading the manuals extensive pages is horrendous, but just a thought??? Thanks Man!
Thanks, man! Garmin has always been pretty good at matching interfaces across their lineup.
At 16:20 the nose up and nose down are your vs adjustment buttons. They are positioned about 1 o clock from the alt setting dial. great vid
Thanks, Mike!
Very helpful, thank you!
I'm glad it helped , Jim! Thanks!
Your video was sooo cool and just shows what a little prep can do. By the way to get the zoom to work on the MFD I have found that you just have to remove the FPL from the side. Thanks, I am about the same stage as you with the G1000. Want to see more videos please.
WOW indeed - thanks
Glad it helped even a little! I did a lot of things wrong :) Now I'm actually an IFR student!
Bill,...now try that with some IFR weather, with large mountains lol. Congratulations because it’s a head full learning about that 1000🤷🏻♂️👍🥓
Haha yeah the weather changes the game for sure! The G1000 is very deep. I'm flying a steam-gauge plane IRL so I don't really fly the G1000 in the sim much right now
And thank you for watching, Rick!
Did you even look at that G1000 before you made this video?? LOL!!!!
Nice Landing, I see the X-plane ground contact is still a bit funky. Just this week bought my 1st 172 skyhawk with the G1000 from Carenado for FSX it has the Synthetic Vision which takes the G1000 to a whole new Level, fun Bird. Note there is no true auto-land with the g1000, but if you do the same thing with the airliners (PMDG777) they will Auto-land, brake and come to a full stop. so cool. (subbed) o7
Ludus DayTrading Thanks for watching! Ya, X-Plane doesn't really like being on the ground lol. G1000 is definitely a fun system and they have a lot built into it. I'm sure you'll have a blast in your new 172. I have they Beech A36 and it's awesome!
Yeah cool, I will check out your Review of the A36, was thinking of picking something a little bigger up soon for more passengers in FSeconomy.
Ludus DayTrading it's great for that! Stable as hell and much bigger
I find the Cessna is always a bit hard to control on touchdown, usually, esp. if you come in a bit hot. Gotta fight that stick to centerline, which is annoying. I fly the Phenom 100
most of the time lately, and I never have issues like that with that plane. As long as I'm centered up over threshold, and I'm not coming in too fast, that plane just barrels down
and you almost have to work harder to throw it off centered landing. I'd rather do the damned landing manually, for that reason. Although I hope to master ILS in that plane
and I'm sure it's even better that way, again, as long as you have that landing speed nailed. Another thing is making absolutely sure your plane is totally and utterly LEVEL
as you touch down. This sounds obvious, but that's where things go awry on sim. and in real life, you have to stabilize that plane before touching down or forget it.
I actually learned something about using the G1000 watching you fumble your way along. Very nice video because of that, thanks for sharing. BTW, it probably would have been quicker to drive there in the end. Just kidding. 😀😀😀😀
Well, I'm glad Billy Bob! It's a lot of fun but since the plane I fly IRL has steam gauges so I haven't really gone back to the Xplane G1000. Haha and with the traffic on 91, it'd be faster to walk!
I know what you mean. I too have been using steam gauges and forever avoiding the GARMIN as I did not want another steep learning curve thingy. Your video and others are helping ma a lot. keep ‘em comin’.
38:35 yup its easy when its setup
Bro i dont care what people say. lol i like this video. funny ....but now i know how to use the g1000. thank you.
Thanks, man! It's definitely old :) I'm starting real world IFR training so it should be more helpful. www.twitch.tv/bill4le
Resizing the GM 100 smaller is good for you but not for us with poor eyesight (What scenery's do you have re these two airports and surrounding please?
Those are just the default sceneries. I've since added Orthos and a KSNA payware scenery by Skyline.
Great video.. I was also yelling NOSE DOWN. I flipped when I first saw the tower at your departure. I trained out of KFUL 30+ years ago. I've been trying to learn the G1000 in XP11 as well. Have you mastered the RNAV w/o LOC? I can't seem to get it but have been told it's possible. I never catch the GS.
Thanks for watching! I've come a long since this video. This was before I even really started flying IRL. I'll starting my IR training soon and will likely do some updated videos.
when should one select approach? at the last waypoint Sager or after towards the airport?
I’m at a loss, how did you pop out the PFD and MFD screens to use them, my eyesight is real poor and this would be a godsend
Just click in the middle of the screen and they pop out!
Can you do more videos.?Also I think there is a approach button on the auto pilot.I need to figure out how to decullter the screen
I'll do as many videos as I can! :) Yeah the approach is key
I want to duplicate your flight on xp-11 or xp-12 from KFUL to KSNA to see if I can get the same results you got on the 1000. The question I have, when you set BARO of min, you inputted 260 ft. Where it was actually 200 minimum? Where did you get the minimum altitude? I looked on the charts and I couldn't find that minimum
the minimum of 200 is AGL so you want to bug what the MSL altitude is because that's what your altimeter is showing. The mins for the ILS at SNA is 255 so I just rounded up a touch
Thanks for sharing but how did you make the PFD pop out or make it enlarge?
cherfieldm thanks for watching! Just click somewhere on the screen and it pops out
How did he pull up that play back menu to fast forward and rewind at the end of the video?
ALT+R starts replay mode.
@@Bill4LE You're the best! Thank you
I am new to X Plane, have v. 12. Using G 1000. Your video is x Plane 11, so wonder if any difference. I have tried many times to duplicate you flight, but every time I fly to PRADO the plane just keeps on going on the heading out of KFUL. I have carefully watched and made detailed notes, but then, my plane just keeps on going past PRADO. Any idea what I am doing?
There shouldn't be any real difference between 11 and 12. When you're on the approach, you're activating ARP mode?
@@Bill4LEThank you, I hadn't pressed the APR button. Works just fine. This was the best video turtorial on this subject, for me as a total newbie to this whole flying and sim business.
i'm trying to fly from cyow to cyul and i don't have an intersection point. so i fly to airport but the approach doesn't work the way yours does in the video. i have to cancel gps and nav and try to land using joystick. any thoughts??
You needed to press NAV you were in GPS
I'd like to know where to find simulation charts for U.S airports..
The best and easiest spot is www.skyvector.com. Before I got ForeFlight that's what I used.
@@Bill4LE Thank you for this Information..
You mean "mixture full rich" don't you?
Probably :) This was well before my real-world flying lol
Does anybody know what happens in bad weather with some good windage on an ILS approach like this? I mean, do you still always get a better landing
under those conditions than doing it manually, or what? I mean in real life. I'm not a pilot but a veteran Xplane11 simmer by now. I mean since you're not
flying the plane VFR manually the last 10 miles or so, how do you correct for wind and updrafts, etc.? Since all you're managing with the ILS engaged
is speed and flaps.
The G1000 and many other avionics system will take the winds into account and compensate. It basically does whatever it can to keep itself on the "magenta" line.
I see, that's what I figured. Wild! I'm going to attempt to lock onto the loc. at Aspen KASE tonight, wish me luck, I'll prob. need it. I already have the nav. radio set and heading bug set for 15 there. Whether I can lock on from 10 miles or more out, down the valley, we'll see. This is in the Phenom. Update: well, it didn't work, but I'm not sure the Phenom 100 I have
is able to do procedures, which is annoying. I managed to do three ILS landings in a row, in XPlane11 tonight with the Cessna 172 G1000, 10 mile practice finals, and at KTEX Telluride,
so now I finally know how to execute one! I was pretty chuffed. I think one was GPS RNAV and the rest were ILS. One thing that kind of annoys me is you never can be totally sure how far off from the localizer it will work, although if you're 5 miles or under, it won't work anyway, since you're too close to the localizer. @@Bill4LE
Now I'm at a total loss. I did a fast JFK to Logan Boston Intl. Garmin 1000 flight tonight in the old Cirrus Vision jet, and the whole flight went flawlessly, I armed the
approach to ILS 4R about 35 miles out, the approach activated, and flawlessly brought me in on AP at 4000 ft. everything set ahead of time, radios, etc., and the CDI
switched at the left turn to final approach fix, etc., all automatically, and then....the Garmin brought me right in to 4R LOC and then....no goddamned Glide Slope whatsoever,
no matter what I did, I even hit the APR switch on the AP as a panic move, and it still didn't do GS. I had to go missed, go down back course 15 miles, 4000 ft.,
then redo the approach again, and it did bring me in direct again, no troubles, but no GS acquired. If anybody knows what I'm doing wrong, please let me know on here.
I'm getting highly frustrated. I did everything by the book! GS should have locked, and it didn't, but the LOC was dead on. The only good thing was the approach
was so dead-on that I brought the plane down to a super gentle landing, I barely felt or heard the gear touch! So I guess I did a good LOC landing, but not full ILS.
The Garmin 1000 keeps saying my Nav. data is out of date, and I'm not paying $100 to get a payware set, so....I don't know what's going on there.
Thanks for your video. Taking time and thinking aloud what to do, etc which helped me, a novice to flight sims, to understand clearly how to land a plane with ILS approach and G1000.
I was also stuck up for the vertical speed. I saw the nose up/down but didn't try it. I pushed forward my yoke a wee little bit and pressed VS button and that worked!!!
Oh nice! That works! Thanks for watching. Sometimes it really helps to think aloud and get feedback.
Yeah, you always want to hit the VS button, and then adjust the nose up/down in the Cessna to adjust the trim for how steep an ascent/descent. In the Phenom 100 I fly
a lot, it's even more fun since you can adjust the rate of descent per km much more precisely, or execute a perfect flight level change at the locked-in current speed you want.
In something like a 737, or Airbus, it's actually even easier, since you have the luxury of the autothrottle, and can execute the most precise VS adjustments all along the flight, at
the precise IAS and VS speed you want. Anyway, once you lock onto the ILS LOC. and are being brought in, you shouldn't have to worry about the VS! Just your IAS and
when to bring in your flaps. I also watched a real Phenom 300 team bring in the plane to Aspen KASE last night, they keep Yaw Damper ON all the way down during approach
and landing, so if your plane offers that, keep it on, I wasn't sure if that was procedure but indeed it is. It helps stabilize your approach and landing without a doubt, ILS or not.
Hey Bill4LE, I just got my first Flight Simulator (XPlane11) for Christmas 2018. I don't know how to determine what my waypoints should be. I only know the airport I am departing from and the airport I am arriving at, and nothing about how to add a runway to a flight plan or waypoints... Can you help me?
Congrats! That is a great question but also one that is hard to answer. Sometimes, depending on where you are, you might not need any waypoints in between. But if there is airspace you need to avoid along the route, then you would have to pick a few spots that will help you do that. What area are you going to be flying in?
@@Bill4LE I commonly fly a Cessna 172 SP w/ G1000 from KSDF (Louisville International Airport) to KLOU (Grass strip that is REALLY close).
Also, great video!
@@diamondninjagaming4276 ok awesome! Go to www.skyvector.com and get familiarized with the sectional chart for your area. You can set way points and create navlogs. That's what I use for the sim and real world flying
@Bill4LE Thanks! Also, you fly planes in the real world?
83 knts?
How's the coffee and pie? We use to have pilots fly into chilliwack bc just for the above 😅
( CYCW )...Mile High Lemon Meringue Pie plus many others. "I Fly for Pie" at the Chilliwack Coffee Shop.
when is the correct time or location to activate approach? thanks.
You'd activate the approach basically when you're cleared for it. If you're cleared to navigate to the final approach fix, activating it will basically send you direct to it.
@@Bill4LE thats with an atc but when does one activate approach with the garmin 1000? thanks for answering.
@@ericc7936 ATC would clear you for the approach so if you don't have ATC (highly recommend PilotEdge) then you can activate it whenever.
@@Bill4LE thanks. can i activate when pfd says the destination or after for the first waypoint heading to destination runway. i'll check out PIlotEdge. is it better than 124th atc?
@@ericc7936 once you've selected an approach, itll automatically add it to your FLTPLN at the end before the airport. You can then activate it whenever.
PilotEdge is my far the best plug-in for any flight sim. If I could only have one plug-in, PilotEdge would be it.
Not very sure about your movements in the cockpit. Need to brush up on your procedures and knowledge of the instruments you using.
Make it cooler...land in Maui
Audio is waaaay too low
This didn't help me at all :(
Then you are not very smart.
that was ALMOST has bad as the blind leading the blind! although I do appreciate your effort, you should know the material
before you try and teach it.
Your a bloody jerk mate he's just doing it for a bit of fun. Im sick of people like you all over youtube!!!!
So like ppl giving helpful hints while being a bit sarcastic. Yikes calm down M8. @@theflyingemu3647
And you should learn grammar before you comment!
Ruski Gopnik me, it was a typo and on my phone. I’m not too worried about proper grammar for a short quip on a video. ‘So’ was supposed to be ‘I ‘
I just hate to watch you fumble around. Next time, be prepared and learn what you teach.
