I’d really like to see FF add an advisory glide slope. Also I practice NPA with the HSI mode in synthetic vision. Better guidance. Well done video. Thank you..
Bruce, excellent video with a very important message. Question: have you tried loading the Approach in ForeFlight and using split screen with Synthetic Vision (e.g. SVT including AI and HSI on top; map/plate on bottom)?... then the HSI on the SVT would provide very useful CDI to help with lateral alignment (even helping with the turn anticipation). Thanks again for highlighting the EFB usefulness in an emergency situation. Wayne (DA40 KSBA)
You certainly can use synthetic vision if your app and other components support it. For this video, I wanted to focus on the primary task--navigating the legs of an approach. Most of us now fly with at least one electronic flight instrument (e.g., a G5, GI-275, or other PFD) that has a battery backup or another separate electronic display. So I'm less concerned about losing basic flight instruments. But if synthetic vision is available to you, practice with it, too.
Thanks, Bruce. All good points. To your suggestion, I have indeed shot practice approaches (VMC with safety pilot) using only ForeFlight (AHRS coming from Stratus 2S; plus backup AI and altimeter)... and I did find the SVT displaying CDI course deviation to be quite helpful. Keep up the excellent videos. Wayne
