Remember, if you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. If you pull the stick back, they get smaller. That is ... unless you keep pulling the stick all the way back ... then they get bigger again.
Murphy’s Law, no matter what you do with the stick if you keep doing it, eventually the houses get bigger. Murphy’s corollary eventually you have to land!
can you do a video covering ILS autopilot ? you briefly mentionned how to tunes the frequencies and use VOR navigation, but I'd like more details about how the autopilot also controls the glide slope to the runway. nice video!
Well, I was looking for an IFR flight tutorial with a prop plane, and here it is. Sadly, it wasn't for me. It looked like another Garmin 1000 turorial, some handling of the plane. Ok, there was a tutorial about how to create an IFR flightplan, but that was all about IFR. From one second to another, several waypoints were skipped, and it followed another landing tutorial. Well, the title said Basic IFR .. that means here: only the flight plan.
Some of the details though...I mean, if were working through ifr, we probably know the basics like autopilot. The ifr handbook clearly says, if you don't already know the plane, end now and go to that lesson first. (No actually handbook, but common sense.) Still, nice to see an ifr tutorial that uses the plane we're most likely to practice with, and not an Airbus or other airliner.
I appreciate the info this was exactly what I was missing. Been learning the systems on my own but this helped cover the other buttons and knobs that I had no idea what to do with. I'll look out for more of these. Gotta practice what I just learned before I'll know what to ask for next.
Question for group- I'm use to using Garmin 500 GPS- and it displays a helpful GREEN ARROW on TOD marker on ILS approach. Does G1000 still display those green arrows or is it hidden feature or no longer being used or displayed?
Just finished this right after your same VFR video. What a great concept. Seeing the exact same flight from both techniques is so beneficial. Much appreciated.
That's all about a Good Teacher should be !!! Realizing the difficulties that students will encounter in the subject to teatch and know afterwards exactly, how schould be the the easiest way to explain it to them. Not a word more... not a word less. Thats the best IFR Tutor for the MSFS G1000, that I found hear on TH-cam !!! Thank You Brady Very Much !!!!!
I Brady I've being watching your video and I'am impressed the way you explained all your configurations. I've got a xbox series x with Microsoft flight simulator downloaded as digital redeem code, Can I get the same configuration as how you've done yours on my xbox series x. And using the mouse zoom in and out too configurating in the cockpit avionics too. Please let me know Kind regards Alfie.
Amazing, thank you! I was hoping the flight school in the sim would be more extensive, I feel what they teach you is really basics of the basics, if that.
good video but you can also play with the mixture to get the best fuel economy. "You want the most rpms" sounds like you don't understand how engines work. Anything other than takeoff and landing you want the lowest operational rpm to decrease wear on the engine and increase your fuel economy during flight.
Started out “Basic IFR & Autopilot...” but you started to expand and show everything on the menus and to me (Newbie) it got confusing. Wish you had stuck to the basic plan from start to finish. But thank you for an excellent video. I will return to it once I become more accustomed to the basic AP and NAV flight modes.
a "best practice" is to always climb with FLC (flight level change) and climb via an airspeed - this mode has built in stall protection. VS is good for decent, but will stall the airplane if left unchecked, trying to maintain whatever climb rate you chose.
Thanks Jaime! I don't think I'll do every aircraft because there's a lot I really don't care for right now lol but as more aircraft I appreciate come out, I will keep covering more. Join a live stream sometime! They can be pretty educational as well.
This is such a helpful video, 2 mins in I had already hit the like button! I know I am late to the party , is that why I only have the RNAV 03 approach available for me at Sedona and not the GPS one in the video? Still it was a huge help and I am now flying (crash free) over Leeds in the UK enjoying the newest World Update
1- On the upper right hand of this 'fixed menu' there it says to 'set your cruise altitude'. 2- @07:17, In this case, one must lose 258.55 fpm from 8000 to 6600 ft. at LYRIT. 3- Why do you have full power after you have exceeded the initial phase?
Wow, awesome. Just one tip, when climbing, it is better to use FLC instead of VS, as FLC will guarantee you will not stall. VS is better used in descent. Just a tip! :)
Yes i found it dangerous because if the plane somehow loses speed it well keep pitching up to stay at that climb rate and this well lead to a stall .... and iam not a pilot just a fsx player
When flying an ILS approach into Madison, (MSN,) I get MSN on the localizer and the plane turns towards the runway. It flis to IDSZ and goes crazy. what is the IDSZ? Thanx!
Would it be possible to do IFR flights that have waypoints but without GPS? For example, if you wanted to do this flight with the Cessna 152, how/ could you do it? I've heard about dead reckoning, but Im not sure if thats the best way to do it. New to the game and just wanna know. Thanks.
Yes. It is a common problem people are having. I don't have it too often but if you do, just look up the keyboard controls for "aileron trim" and you can fix it for your flight.
You stated you felt it a bit turbulent on short final, don't forget you added 2 notches of flaps while still a little bit high and you nosed dived plane a bit to drop 500ft asap. Plus you turned off wind display to know direction and wind speed that could be playing a number here. Great video overall.
I’m having a problem when I load into the game it seems like the flight plan shuffled and over shoots the airport and does a figure 8 and I have no idea how to fix it. It doesn’t show the exact flight plan I selected and idk why.
I have Msfs 2020 40th anniversary edition installed on my PC, purchased from the microsoft store, purchased in August 2023. You have the cursor set in the cockpit in such a way that when you point to a single button on the control panel (heading, altitude, speed, throttle, etc.), numbers of speed knots or turning degrees or percentages next to the throttle lever can be seen next to the text. In the "general option/accessibility/user interface" I could not set the cursor option that you have. Please, if you can write how you set this option. I also noticed that this setup is in the videos of older msfs releases and seems to be absent on newer editions.
at 20:00 min, I can't do that any more with world update 6 and 7, you cannot switch vloc/com or select anything with gps! I tried with cessna 172 G1000 and normal cessna 172. Can anyone check on this? what am I missing? I hate microsoft
hey, when I was loading up my flight, near the end of the route, one of the waypoints wasn't connected to the next but the rest were, how do I fix that?
Wow, that approach on runway three is amazing. I’ve landed in Sedona. Probably 50 times most of the time runway three because it’s uphill. I can’t believe how realistic that looks now I want to go buy a PC and hook up lights him. Last time I flew flight simulator was probably 1998
If I want to plan a flight in Europe, where can I get airports information and charts for instrument approach procedures, departure procedures etc. Thank you!!!!! Very good tutorial!!
I don't want to be a bloody pilot I just want to use autopilot to fly look around Drives me crazy every tutorial video on this subject is so complicated bla bla bla
The hard left turn is sort of realisting because IRL the torque generated from the propeller can cause the aircraft to streer left. MSFS definitely exagerates it though.
So I’m a beginner as of yesterday to flight sims. I dove in hard and bought the premium deluxe game of the year edition along with the thrustmaster hotas 1 flight stick and thruster combo( no pedals yet). I’ve been practicing with analog instruments just trying to master those first but after watching this video which was by far the best explained video I’ve seen, now I want to step up my game. Thank you for explaining this in your video. I’m still learning all the aviation terminology. So far I’ve had a blast with this game. Y favorite so far is the icon a5, single rear prop that can land in water or on land. Can’t wait for the gliders in august I believe.
Thanks for this video. I'm about to start my instrument training and it will also be my first time extensively using G1000s. Trying to use flight sim to get the hang of them lol.
if you want all the charts and overlays and you have an iPad or tablet you can Google FltPln Go. it is free and you can connect it to MSFS so you show up on the map
Newbie here, can your autopilot descend the appropriate altitude for the given way points automatically, or do you have to set the altitude and descent rate?
The G1000 is every beginners favorite starter plane. This plane has taught me how to fly better. Every game session I would turn off at least one of the auto pilot controls just to get a feel for how a plane moves especially during bad weather. I can now fly and safely land planes without auto pilot. The hard part for me is using the brakes without tipping some of the planes over. I play on xbox so the controls are still hard to use.
The menu should work when you call up the flight plan and select a waypoint on your route, select menu, and it will give you the option to activate leg, or cancel flight plan, etc.
This is great, and I will watch just to learn but I’m having a problem setting up the same flight in world map. Maybe I’m an idiot but I don’t have the gate parking #28. And mine is a different format. Ex Parking 23-Ramp GA Small. Also, under approach for Sedona, only options are Automatic and RNAV 03. Do I have a different version? I have MSFS 2020 on steam
Right that explains a lot thanks Brady. I have flown this 3 times since watching and studying your video and every time I cannot get the AP approach mode to work when landing on runway 03 using the GPS approach. I am still learning the intricacies of the g1000 nxi and I have not been able to find out if all GPS approaches have the automated approach like an ILS or an Rnav approach.
23:08 to know if the VOR are working use the TITS : Tune Identify Test Set so basically you set your NAV frequency, then you "listen" on the radio if you can hear the morse code (if not, it's out of range or out of service), then test if the CDI points at it and finally set your FD to follow it
What is the main difference between VFR and IFR I know weather has a lot to do with it but I just don't really understand the concept if you're not using ILS or RNAV for IFR flights because you can just follow the GPS kind of like you can do for VFR?
VFR, you fly the plane looking out the window. IFR, you fly the plane looking at your instruments. Also, VFR, you don't always have to have two-way radio communication when you're outside of an airspace. IFR, you will always be on the radio, connected to someone in a tower, and they will be "tracking" your flight. That's the basic difference in a nutshell.
The cross does not mean a localizer. That is a GPS approach the cross designates the final approach fix which is where you should lower your gear have your engine speed set your flap set and basically your approach angle maintained. One more thing your initial altitude as you say using the east west rule, but if you are IFR you will request your initial altitude and ATC will assign you an altitude regardless of your direction. You can request a change in altitude based-on winds aloft or turbulence.
to confirm VOR is working you turn on the audio of the VOR and listen for the morse code letters for that VOR station - was the only way to confirm prior to GPS 1000
Great tutorial. When adjusting mixture, the key indicator is Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) which is on the G1000 in this plane. If you don't have EGT, lean it until engine starts to lose power, then add mixture towards rich so that engine runs smooth. In real life, you don't want to be too lean, which will damage the engine.
Great video. Thanks! Whenever I create a flight plan, and put it into Nav mode, the plane just flies straight ahead forever instead of following the GPS track. Any idea why?
Email me with an example pic so I can better understand which lines you are referring to! Not sure if I know what you're referring to because I haven't been on the sim in a while. Will probably get back in the hot seat soon. theskyelounge@gmail.com
Someone probably with the FAA. They really don't mean anything but they do often times have to do with that location. There are STARS and SIDS that are named after certain things that go with that location. For example, Orlando could have some Disney themed STARS and SIDS. Whoever names them tries to have some fun with it. Some could mean something, others may not. They're just a way of identifying that fix.
I remember someone else mentioning that as well. I don’t understand why you would want less rpm’s on takeoff. If you lean it you should get more power at this altitude. So why keep it rich? Thanks 🙏🏽
Thanks for the tutorial. But can you tell me how to overcome inability to enter headings, altitude and other autopilot settings? WhenI touch the knobs with cursor they glow bright blue and settings cannot be entered.
The approaches for Sedona the nav points were different for me 3 years later but because you explained it so well in this video, I was able to do it anyways. Great tutorial, thanks.
Amazing tutorial, been slowly learning. I work at Cirrus Aircraft and they have a program to help with getting your private license. So using the simulator to slowly get into it more.
So the menu button does work. If you click on your flight plan, then hit menu, it’ll give you several options. One of which deletes your flight plan. Still learning what else it works on.
Remember, if you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. If you pull the stick back, they get smaller. That is ... unless you keep pulling the stick all the way back ... then they get bigger again.
Or unless you are upside down already when you remember this quote :D
@@henrydot6898 good one :))
Murphy’s Law, no matter what you do with the stick if you keep doing it, eventually the houses get bigger. Murphy’s corollary eventually you have to land!

I'll make a note of that and try to squeeze an ILS video in yes. I'll probably do one in the TBM 930.
Great!!! Thanks!
You should not use vertical speed on the auto pilot for a climb, you should be using a Flight level change.

hello, how to change it from VOR1 to GPS?
Hit the "CDI" button. It should change it. There are two different "greens" for the VOR modes and the pink-ish color is GPS mode.
Holy cow, this is one of the most detailed tutorials of MSFS out there! thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Yep, same problem here...
@@BradySkye thanks I'll look into this and see if I can get it to work. Much appreciated!
Besides aileron trim, have you checked your weight balance? Think it‘s a factor
BigBroMars W&B is a factor but not for this particular issue
How did you know to set the NAV receiver frequency to 113.85? And do I need to do that if I’m using gps mode or is that only for VOR mode?
You stated you felt it a bit turbulent on short final, don't forget you added 2 notches of flaps while still a little bit high and you nosed dived plane a bit to drop 500ft asap. Plus you turned off wind display to know direction and wind speed that could be playing a number here. Great video overall.

Good vid, but it’s kind of all over the place. Would be helpful if you do one where you stick to the flight plan and only use the necessary equipment.
I have Msfs 2020 40th anniversary edition installed on my PC, purchased from the microsoft store, purchased in August 2023.

Tip: push down the HDG knob to autoselect current heading...
BTW, 90 knotts on short final is slow? That's actually too fast 😝
The autopilot won't capture correct altitudes when using any altimeter setting besides 29.92
Super-helpful, thank you. Glad I found your channel.
This is the best tutorial I've seen for tje 172. Great info and easy to follow. You've explained everything simply. Thank you.
hey, when I was loading up my flight, near the end of the route, one of the waypoints wasn't connected to the next but the rest were, how do I fix that?
22:30, how can I identify the nav/vor mode within the G1000 screen when NAV button toggled, any sign changed?
What a lot of convoluted BS to do a basic function. Is it any wonder steam are refunding so many purchases of this abomination.

Hi, how do you get the CRS aligned with your autopilot. I noticed that before you took off.
Mingy Bowsu... my next RPG character name.
Not very good tutorial for beginners. Jumping around too much. Great for adhd learners, maybe.
Thanks for watching ~ I'm sorry to hear you didn't like the video and I hope you find what you're looking for!
Dude awesome video! Just what I was looking for. Liked and subbed :)
Awesome, thank you!
Thankyou for creating this and such generosity in teaching learners
You're very welcome Andrew! Glad it was helpful for ya.
The G1000 is every beginners favorite starter plane. This plane has taught me how to fly better. Every game session I would turn off at least one of the auto pilot controls just to get a feel for how a plane moves especially during bad weather. I can now fly and safely land planes without auto pilot. The hard part for me is using the brakes without tipping some of the planes over. I play on xbox so the controls are still hard to use.
The menu should work when you call up the flight plan and select a waypoint on your route, select menu, and it will give you the option to activate leg, or cancel flight plan, etc.
Even when cruising at a low altitude you should have the mixture leaned.
This is great, and I will watch just to learn but I’m having a problem setting up the same flight in world map. Maybe I’m an idiot but I don’t have the gate parking #28. And mine is a different format. Ex Parking 23-Ramp GA Small. Also, under approach for Sedona, only options are Automatic and RNAV 03. Do I have a different version? I have MSFS 2020 on steam
For general aviation RNAV is pretty much the same as GPS approach so whichever it says is fine. It would work the same.
Thanks for this - is there a way, when using GPS navigation, to automate the altitude for each leg of the flight as well as the approach?
Not altitude.
Right that explains a lot thanks Brady. I have flown this 3 times since watching and studying your video and every time I cannot get the AP approach mode to work when landing on runway 03 using the GPS approach. I am still learning the intricacies of the g1000 nxi and I have not been able to find out if all GPS approaches have the automated approach like an ILS or an Rnav approach.
23:08 to know if the VOR are working use the TITS : Tune Identify Test Set
so basically you set your NAV frequency, then you "listen" on the radio if you can hear the morse code (if not, it's out of range or out of service), then test if the CDI points at it and finally set your FD to follow it

You can request a change in altitude based-on winds aloft or turbulence.
Yeah I messed up that localizer comment. If only I was allowed to make changes. Thanks for chiming in!
You flew the entire flight without the FD. Was there a reason for that?
Lost after 3.45 minutes totally confusing.
to confirm VOR is working you turn on the audio of the VOR and listen for the morse code letters for that VOR station - was the only way to confirm prior to GPS 1000
Correct. You would hear the Morse code for that station's 3-letter identifier.
Hello from France, and thks for this cool tuto :)
Great tutorial. When adjusting mixture, the key indicator is Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) which is on the G1000 in this plane. If you don't have EGT, lean it until engine starts to lose power, then add mixture towards rich so that engine runs smooth. In real life, you don't want to be too lean, which will damage the engine.
Thanks for the info Brian! Glad you stopped by : )

Great video. Thanks! Whenever I create a flight plan, and put it into Nav mode, the plane just flies straight ahead forever instead of following the GPS track. Any idea why?
Thanks! It’s tough to say what’s going on without seeing a screenshot or video of what you are seeing : /
Looking for VR options - any suggestions on a compatible VR setup that will work w MSFS
For PC or Xbox? Here’s a blog I found: www.windowscentral.com/best-vr-headset-microsoft-flight-simulator
Thank you Brad. I'm not as Ignorant as I was before this. Still Ignorant, just not as much.
You will never be ignorant if always willing to learn.
Are those yellow lines in the world map control area boundaries? How do you get those to show up?
Email me with an example pic so I can better understand which lines you are referring to! Not sure if I know what you're referring to because I haven't been on the sim in a while. Will probably get back in the hot seat soon. theskyelounge@gmail.com
Please do a video on how to set up multiplayer mode.
Make sure you go a bit slow Brady...newbs like me have to second guess some of your moves...thanks.
Noted!
this was the best information so far thanks helped alot
learned a lot, thanks, very good explanations
Who decides all the gibberish names for the waypoints? Do they mean anything?
Someone probably with the FAA. They really don't mean anything but they do often times have to do with that location. There are STARS and SIDS that are named after certain things that go with that location. For example, Orlando could have some Disney themed STARS and SIDS. Whoever names them tries to have some fun with it. Some could mean something, others may not. They're just a way of identifying that fix.
MSFS seems to only give RNAV03 option and not GPS03
That’s correct. To my knowledge RNAV is pretty much the same thing as GPS in this scenario in general aviation.
You made it more complicated
when i hit NAV nothing happens...
The reason the plane wants to go to the left is because of the prop torque. It's completely normal
On the ground, yes.
WOW! Great video, cant believe how much you taught me in a short 30 minute tutorial! Liked and subbed
Hey, you could've explained the FLC button that changes the aircraft's pitch to maintain a specific speed.
Yes, I should have mentioned that but I don't really use it in the 172. For larger aircraft, definitely.
@BradySkye it's very useful on a C172, set it to the best rate of climb, 76 knots, for most efficient climb, and clear obstacles with ease.
You should not lean the mixture during takeoff.
I remember someone else mentioning that as well. I don’t understand why you would want less rpm’s on takeoff. If you lean it you should get more power at this altitude. So why keep it rich? Thanks 🙏🏽
Thanks for the tutorial. But can you tell me how to overcome inability to enter headings, altitude and other autopilot settings? WhenI touch the knobs with cursor they glow bright blue and settings cannot be entered.
Brady, Thanks for the suggestion about changing the mouse setting. That solved my problem, looking forward now to using your autopilot tutorial.
Look for the arrows to adjust the knobs. The center of the knob wont do anything. But that’s my guess without seeing what you’re seeing.
Crystal clear, thanks so much, liked and subbed for more!
Awesome, thank you!
The approaches for Sedona the nav points were different for me 3 years later but because you explained it so well in this video, I was able to do it anyways. Great tutorial, thanks.
Is there a website like airnav for airports outside of the US?
Not that I know of. I think those all have to be purchased.
Amazing tutorial, been slowly learning. I work at Cirrus Aircraft and they have a program to help with getting your private license. So using the simulator to slowly get into it more.
So the menu button does work. If you click on your flight plan, then hit menu, it’ll give you several options. One of which deletes your flight plan. Still learning what else it works on.
Can you please post a ILS full flight tutorial vedio also
For example?
11:58, how do I get all the checklists available? I only see before starting and the actual starting checklist..
Good question. I’ll have to look into that. I think there are blogs about it.
Would be great, thanks for your answer
thank you this is very clear explanation ,and great tutorial easy to follow your words, because some they talk very fast not easy to follow.
