I just bought a Mooney M20J with a GNS 530W and was recommended this video as a place to start to learn it. Fantastic information and thoughtfully laid out. I have learned a ton and will be watching the rest of the series.
Captain Jesch and Captain Schiff, thank you so very much! I’m an ILS student and really enjoyed and learned a lot from this presentation. As you said easier to learn this on the ground than in the plane. Safe flying✈️
Wow, what a great video and teacher! Super well done Mike. Please continue your plan of offering the next 3 courses. While I use my 530 daily, you still gave me a couple new tricks even with the introductory class. I can’t imagine what you have in store for us on the more advanced classes!
The first time I saw a turbo encabrilator video I worked at Hughes Aircraft and thought is was real for about 90 seconds. Just long enough to get a laugh out of the new collage grad engineer.
Hi Mike. A bit late to the party but working on transition from C-172/G1000s and Mooney/GTN650s to Cirrus SR22 G2/GNS430/Avidyne. I found this video very helpful! Am subscribing and moving on to Part 2! Thanks so much for doing this series.
Hi Mike, from one Dreamliner Driver to another, thank you so much for the video. I just bought a plane with a 430 in it and although I plan to upgrade it to a GTN750xi, I needed to get familiar with what's in the airplane currently until I get the upgrade started and completed. Your video was very good and the platform was awesome! Kudos my friend! ...by the way, I live in the SoCal area and may have to hit you up for a lesson or two while I get my GA chops back up.
Hi Sal! If you can drive a Dreamliner, you can probably figure out these GA navigators... You already know what it can do; it's just a matter of getting through to it to make it go. You're gonna love the GTN too. And, definitely, let's go flying!
I really enjoyed this and learned a lot. Having said that, it could have been more organized. For example, decide on the 6 or 8 or 22 key points, whatever those are, clearly up front, show the list, then proceed through them. it seemed a bit random. But again, i liked and and will definitely watch future segments.
Sorry for the delay... I was on vacation out of the country when you wrote in. I believe you're talking about when I manually set the desired inbound course to the waypoint to 260º. I did this by first pressing the OBS button to put the navigator in the OBS mode. This allows me to manually set the desired inbound course. In the airplane, you would twist the OBS knob on your navigation indicator, or turn the course selector on your HSI. In the Garmin simulator, do this by clicking on the course pointer knob (at the lower left corner of the HSI, and moving the mouse pointer to the left or right until the course pointer is set where you want it. Hopefully this answers your question.
Looking at a plane now with a gns430 and not sure if this is an issue... I have to hold down every button for a good 4 seconds before it responds. IE: When it is flashing OK? after startup, I have to hold down ENT for several seconds for anything to happen. Is this normal behavior?
No, that doesn't sound anything like normal to me. For comparison, see if you can find one installed in someone else's airplane and see how it behaves. It might be worth seeing what your costs would be to remove the unit for repair, and include that in the offer you make on this potential purpose.
@@n0rg Oopsie! Sorry about that! I see now that this was in reference to Part 1 (GNS 101). When I responded, I thought you were asking about the recently released Part 8 episode from last week. Part 2 (GNS 201) is here: th-cam.com/video/TBU3Y3pLhSQ/w-d-xo.html
Sure! Here's the link to the simulator on the Garmin support web site: www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3532 Also, Brian has a resources page which has links to this, and a bunch of other stuff that might help. That page is at: www.captainschiff.com/gns101
Hi John. I haven't done it, but one listener said he's been able to do it. Search online for updating Garmin GNS simulator database and it should get you there. The instructions I found said you have to have a Jeppesen subscription to get the data in a usable way, and we just switched over to the Garmin data instead. Let me know if you're able to do it.
Hoping someone can assist .... I download and install the trainer just fine. However, after launching, the CDI , annunciator, and speed/altitude slider all overlay the garmin unit regardless of which unit I select. From the you tube video the CDI should be below the unit not on top of ..... I have uninstalled and reinstalled ad nauseam.... thoughts?
Hi Robert. I thought I'd responded last week, but I don't see the reply. Sorry about that! Can you send me an email with a screen shot of what this looks like? The only thing I could think about is maybe you have a weird video setting that's confusing the simulator...
You may have the older version. Mine runs fine on Windows 10, and that’s what I use for these presentations. There’s a link to it on Brian’s resources page, available here: www.captainschiff.com/gns101. Hope this helps!
I had the same issue. Garmin offers three links for downloading. The first two links labels are "Download 430 Simulator (107MB)" and "Download 530 Simulator (109MB)". These two software only work on Windows XP, not even Windows 7, I tried. The link Mike sent is labeled "Download GNS 400W/500W (WAAS) Simulator (190MB)" and works on Windows 10. To change the trainer unit, go to "Options" then "Unit" and select the one you want to try.
I wish someone would update this, and/or do a better job replicating it in MSFS and Xplane. Every time I try to do what I've learned on the real thing or on this box it's really annoying when it doesn't work in MSFS
You mean update the simulator? I don't disagree with you. However, realistically, these units are out of production now and have been for years. Garmin's efforts are focused on current-generation equipment (which is pretty amazing, if you ask me! - I'm contemplating putting a GTN750 in my airplane). I don't expect to see any updates on any of this software from them. Simulator implementations are even worse, because the simulator companies don't have and won't get access to the code from Garmin. Therefore, they're left with reverse-engineering the capabilities and implementing their best guess on some features. They're in the same zip code as the original gear, but lacking in many respects. I've only used the MSFS X version, not the Xplane, and even the RedBird version is only a close approximation, and even for the G1000 simulators. Any of these is enough to kind of learn the broad strokes, but Garmin's simulator is the closest I've come to the installed equipment.
One of the best instructors I've had the privilege to watch, what a great video. THANK YOU
This is priceless. Thank you for taking the time to put this together!
36:51 -What a great video series! This is so helpful for finding your nearest airport and loading its frequency. Thank you!!!
I am new to gps, following your lead

I love my Mooney too but most training videos go too fast and I need muscle memory and reviews, repetition 😅
Hey Mike, thank you so much for uploading your Webinars, it's very vell presented and helps tremendously.
Awesome Review

Looking forward to the next one later this month. Thanks for doing them.
Glad you like them!

Im trying to fit my brain around how these garmins work for sim flights in mfs2020...its fun still😅
At 30:37 There was nothing indicating 260. How did it track to 260?

You may want to mention diff of the large/small knob controls
I covered that pretty well I think in parts 1 and 2 of the series.
