Intro to VNAV Part 2: Flying An Approach

In this video I'll use the concepts covered in the previous VNAV video to fly an RNAV approach to Runway 1 at KSGU. There are several VNAV stepdowns on the approach and some are steeper than others, so I'll allow the mistake of not looking ahead and demonstrate the consequences.
If you haven't seen part 1 yet, it might be prudent to go watch that video before this one. • Introduction To VNAV f...

Thank you. Very helpful and thorough.

Thank you very much for making this valuable video for us Cirrus G6 pilots.

Great explanation of VNAV. Thanks.

Great video. Scenario question - VNAV takes you to cleared altitude (that is bugged above the fix altitude). You then get cleared lower or for approach - do you then use VNAV Direct to catch up?

Thanks John!

Great video. Thanks

So what’s a better method for the steep descent? Flaps 50 during that leg?

[@joerngrossblotekamp]

Reduce power earlier so that you enter the steep part with approx. 100 knots instead of 145.

Yes indeed: Speed is your arch enemy if you have to make a steep descent and 100 knots is a good target though I wouldn't be upset with 120 either (in a G5, 6, or 7 at least). Flaps can be tricky because if you nose over for a steeper next leg, you might overspeed them. Also consider if you're coming down through an ice layer you may want to hold off on the flaps for a bit.
I've got to get my notifications turned back on, sorry it took me a bit to get back to you @SamLeHardy
