I got my VFR private pilots license in 1983 and haven't flown since 1986. Back then, we flew with a map in our lap. I'm new to flight simulators and thought I would never figure out how to use modern navigation equipment in general aviation aircraft, but your series of tutorials are the first ones I've found that give me hope. Very well done!
You produce BY FAR the best videos on the subject. I have seen tons of other tutorials/sim vids but they do not even come close to your standards. Voice, contents, screen views etc. ... you've nailed them all. I thank you Sir for taking the time and professionalism for your vids. You deserve to have million subscriptions. You are an outclass.
I could not agree more. I wish I could explain things as clearly as this guy does. There are so many bad / inaccurate videos on this topic that don't go into the depth you really need. And this presenter makes it look so easy. Can't wait to watch more.
Holy shit! This is amazing! I tried downloading the Garmin 530/430 simulator but it didn't work on Windows 10. Searched TH-cam but all the tutorials were terrible. Then I came across yours and it made using GPS a breeze. Thank you!
You can cycle through the de-clutter settings by just pressing "CLR" when on the map screen, but in MSFS the default 530/430 only has 2 states. I think the second one might only hide small airports or something -- not totally sure. You could try out the 530/430 community mod here: github.com/pimarc/pms50-gns530 I think it has extra de-clutter states that'll give you some more options to choose from.
I never leave comments, however your tutorials are really top-notch! I've seen a few for the different Garmin avionics, and yours are incredibly precise, and to the point which I really appreciate. Thanks!
Kit, your videos are way better and excellent that a lot of the tutorials on You Tube. You give more information (about 99%more) than 99% of the videos on You Tube. Again thanks for all the great work and explanation of the systems and also the charts and how they work. Truly great work. Thanks
Really appreciated this primer. I read the 530 Quick Reference Guide online but hadn't quite synthesized all the knowledge for myself yet - this video brought everything together, and extremely clearly, at that.
Subscribed because every time I search a new flight sim topic, you’ve done a really easy to understand video on it. You just taught me how to switch from com to vloc to enter VOR frequencies!
😀Hi Good morning from U K, just the help i am looking for ,have just bought the BEECHCRAFT D 18 and while i can use the G1000NXI up to a point the 530 seems quite a challenge being the only option in that plane. Your tutorial is very well done, so clear and much appreciated putting all the time and effort in making it. One of the best features of MSFS is the help you more experienced flyers give makes it so much more pleasure to use. The navigation in this latest sim is so much more advanced compared to my first use in F S 95. The comments below say it all thankyou.
Kip, thank you thank you thank you for this video and all of your others. I have been struggling for months to understand and master the 530/430 and was beginning to feel quite stupid. This video is easy to watch, simple instruction and easy to implement in my sim. I am not kidding when I state that your series is the best on this topic. I look forward to learning the G1000. Thanks again.
The two videos on the autopilot & G530 interface were fantastic. Very well done. I'm a private pilot with 800 hrs, but haven't flown for a while. Between MSFS2020 and your tutorials, the rust is coming off fast! Thanks...... extremely well presented.
This is a brilliantly explained video on using the C172/Garmin 530/430. I watched and followed along in my flight sim. Now, those intimidating computers next to the steam gauges are not so daunting. I agree with xtek that you have a gift here and hope to see more, especially with the C172 and other single engine models in MSFS2020.
Thank you Kip! I tried studying Garmin's manual, but it has Hundreds-Of-Pages and sooo boring so I gave up. As a sim pilot all we need is just a few pages of key part, and you have done for us! Thank you!
Thank you, is not enough man. God bless you! You covered every bit in clear and understandable terms. I started flying (playing) X Plane 3 years ago and have since relied on their tutorial, which are short videos and never in details as you just did. I have also watched tons of other videos on TH-cam, amongst all you have the maximum excellence. You did a better job than X Plane have on their official TH-cam channel. They should consider hiring you, and I mean it.
Really excellent tutorial - certainly the best I have seen on the Garmin 530. Now if I can figure out how to integrate with the SkyVector map. Easily earned my subscription. 🛫
Great instruction in getting started with the Garmin. Very clear and concise. These things aren't as complicated as some other vids make out. Thanks for your work.
Very helpful! Just getting started with MSFS using the Quest3, after previously mainly using Xplane12. The AP/530 interaction seems difficult to make work together but I'm guessing it's just finger trouble on my part. Thanks again for putting the effort into making these videos.
Just came across your videos and thank you much for your work. The videos were well done and very informative. I look forward to what you will publish next. And now I need to get back to studying autopilot use and practicing what I have learned. Thanks again. Great videos and great information.
Be nice if you could just manually add the GPS way-points with your keyboard instead of using the dial? Great tutorial series though, a lot of confusing MS flight sim tutorials online but ( coming from a Uni lecturers perspective ) yours are solid and straight to the point. Thanks.
Really appreciate this tutorial. Please continue to make them . It’s one of the better ones on navigation without a doubt . I would like to have a better understanding of all the different navigation modes available!
Outstanding video! I am working on my instrument rating in an airplane without a Garmin, though one is being installed now. Your video is going to be a huge help with the real aircraft too! Amazing work.
Kip, great video. I know it's been a while since you created this video. On both 530 and G1000, I cannot modify the flight plan (i.e. remove a waypoint entry using the clear button). You seemed to have an issue on the video as well but you got out (by holding CLR) and coming back in to CLR and it worked for you. For me it doesn't, no matter how many times I try it. I have to delete the whole flight plan and start again, grrr.
If you're on PC, you could give this 530/430 mod a try, hopefully it'll fix some of the bugs you're running into. It also adds some new feature like a terrain and traffic map: github.com/pimarc/pms50-gns530
Thank you for this was looking for some help with the 530 especially now using Vatsim snd have to input new approach for eg from atc on the fly! Interesting the tips u pick up -ie scrolling with ur mouse wheel to change inputs vs chasing arrows on gps - Ctrl 1 and 2 shortcuts snd also adding all the additional waypoints etc on main global flight simulator page using filter - always wondered why that map never showed all the points that I would see say in sim brief or sky vector ! Thank you
Also, even without turning on all of the navigation aids in the world map, you can type them into the search bar and click, “Add” - if you know the name, of course.

Also agree. He makes learning so much easier with clear explanations.
I totally agree.

Do you know how to turn off intersections on both 530 and 430? The screen is very busy with all them on there.
You can cycle through the de-clutter settings by just pressing "CLR" when on the map screen, but in MSFS the default 530/430 only has 2 states. I think the second one might only hide small airports or something -- not totally sure. You could try out the 530/430 community mod here: github.com/pimarc/pms50-gns530
I think it has extra de-clutter states that'll give you some more options to choose from.
Gotcha. Thank you. Love your channel!
Thanks! Glad the videos could help! 🍻
Every time I watch your videos to learn a new technique, I learn at least 6 other useful tips that I never even knew existed. Thank you!
I don't usually comment on TH-cam videos (maybe once every 5 years...) - logged in just to say that you have done a brilliant job.
I dont but I bet some people are cringing when they hear you say "in the game"... Thanks; extremely helpful
I just got the Twin Otter, which uses this GPS system. This is a great tutorial.
Agree, very detailed, good job. One point, WE no longer refer to msfs as a “game”, rather “simulator”.😊
Great work with this. Love the end with the World Map feature - man, MSFS2020 rocks!
I just planned, entered, and flew my first MSFS flight plan (CYBW->UBVAL->CFX6) thanks to this tutorial! Thank you!
This video c answered a lot of questions about using the 530 in MSFS2020. I'll be practicing these techniques tomorrow.
I never leave comments, however your tutorials are really top-notch! I've seen a few for the different Garmin avionics, and yours are incredibly precise, and to the point which I really appreciate. Thanks!
Thank you, glad they helped out!
Simple, straightforward and concise!
Awesome lesson...easy to listen to Kip. Very good!
I've been teaching myself how to use the GNS530 via trial and error - your video dramatically increased my understanding of this system. thank you!
Kit, your videos are way better and excellent that a lot of the tutorials on You Tube. You give more information (about 99%more) than 99% of the videos on You Tube. Again thanks for all the great work and explanation of the systems and also the charts and how they work. Truly great work.
Thanks
As a complete newbie to flight sim I've found your videos to be incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Damn, dude. I'll have to watch this more than once. Again GG, thanks for the help!!
Best video on the 530 clear and precise - thanks for your efforts - Subscribed! Mike
Another really excellent tutorial. Thanks Kip.

This series is really good. Watching them back to back and will return for a refresher. You deserve way more subs, short and to the point content.
Thank you! Very detailed video, Exactly what I was looking for.
I'll second what Larry said - totally brilliant!! - well done young man - really helpful and explained perfectly. Please make more.
you produce by far the best videos that i could find. THANK YOU !

I agree with the others. These tutorials are amongst the best I've seem. Very clear and in-depth. Thank you for taking the time to create these.
Thank you. That was really helpful!
Thanks Kip! I am just getting my feet wet with the Garmin, so your videos are a huge help! Well done!

These videos are extremely thorough and very well done.
This is the best instructions video I have watched great job
Extremely well done, thanks man! 🍻
I have been scouring youtube for excellent tutorials and yours are by far the best. Please keep content coming!
Thanks, one of the best tutorials available! Very Helpful.
Best tutorial ever
Excellent tutorial and video, the clarity to learn and understand what you bring into it is best second to none. Kudos
Great video. Helped me a lot! Thanks.
Be nice if you could just manually add the GPS way-points with your keyboard instead of using the dial?
Great tutorial series though, a lot of confusing MS flight sim tutorials online but ( coming from a Uni lecturers perspective ) yours are solid and straight to the point. Thanks.
You can use a keyboard for entry on the Working Title G1000, and they are making a 530/430. I bet they’ll include a similar feature in it too!
Really appreciate this tutorial. Please continue to make them . It’s one of the better ones on navigation without a doubt . I would like to have a better understanding of all the different navigation modes available!
Fabulous video! Thanks so very much for your clarity and concise teaching!
Excellent video. Thanks a bunch.
Excellent, excellent video. Thanks....
Very nicely done Kip, great detailed explanation of the GPS system
Kip your videos are awesome Thank you
very nicely thought out tutorial
Outstanding video! I am working on my instrument rating in an airplane without a Garmin, though one is being installed now. Your video is going to be a huge help with the real aircraft too! Amazing work.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Super helpful. Delivered like a pro. Keep making videos!
Excellent and simple
Thanks a lot for explaining this so clearly! Really helpful.
Thanks for the effort you putting in making such informative videos. Cheers mate!!!!

Thanks for making me from "WTF!" and "Ha?" to "Ah!".
Great video! Clear and concise instructions. Thanks!
Excellent!
Brilliant. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this tutorial. It is exactly what I wanted to learn, planning my own flight plan on GPS :)))
Awesome ! I learned many more tricks, so navigation will be much easier in the future :)
Super helpful. Meanwhile I suggest to read Garmin 530 maunal to gain more knowledge about it.
Just what I was looking for, keep it up these are fantastic.
You are the Man!!!
Really good tutorial! Awesome! Helping me so much as I'm "downgrading" to simpler aircraft :) thank you!
Very good, thank you!
Great video. Learnt a lot from it. Thanks for posting it.
Very good tutorial
