Have to say. You left out my favorite use of the Velocity Vector... Park it on the numbers of the runway within synthetic vision and nail your crosswind correction and decent rate for an approach to landing.
brilliant. I keep my eye on it (on my dynon) occasionally but haven't really flown using it as a primary instrument. your examples of slow flight and of level flight during steep turns were light bulb moments.
So, love the G3X in my RV-7. Not only the vv, but much of the rest of it is ground breaking as well. Folks don't quite understand when I go, "Oh, the G1000... that's kind of old and clunky!" Glad I found your channel. Thoughts on formation and acro training?
In favor on both. Tough to find, though. For formation I’d find a local group that does a clinic. FFI is a good place to start, but candidly I think (unfortunately) word of mouth is still king.
Great video. Excited to start using the velocity vector. And I like the comparison between high and off terrain alerts. How do the low alerts compare as well?
Low is a bit less sensitive. I can’t remember the exact parameters but from a non-technical perspective, it just gives you a slightly lower margin. Honestly, for most people if you aren’t flying around in terrain often, but do occasionally fly though ravines and stuff low is probably a good setting. It’s nice that it gives you the option.

I’m here for you…

I had no idea about this. Thanks. I am getting some screens put in and starting to get fired up about it.
I loved the change to the G3X even more than I thought I would. Stoked for ya!!!
Thanks! Nice
Y explained, clearly I wasn’t using this to its full capability
Thanks!
Well done! So many features on the G3X but you're right this one is really useful. Subscribed.
Thanks much-love this feedback.

Thanks! I LOVE this feature
Excitedly waiting for part II. 🙂

Nice....and so useful. I knew the function, but I still learned something. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Super happy it was useful.
Cool video. Thanks

This is a great cheat code in IFR training.
Maybe show in the next video how to use it to aim for the runway threshold?
Great idea-I’ll do a part ii
FIRST! Morning, Ace!
