I've been practicing RNAV and this was a great example. My last two flights were in very bad weather on the Japan Sea Coast and in Montana. I just have to remember to keep that FMS on, nothing else. My last one failed because I had changed to NAV 1 for the vectors. I realize now that I did not need to do that. I'm writing this in February 2021, so the RNAV works better now. Problem is the procedures are not always up to date with my outside flight planners and Navigraph. Well done. Good instructor voice, none of the silliness, calm and engaging. Thanks!
Very nice video. One suggestion: as in IFR, your main preoccupation is terrain clearance, it is safer and more fuel efficient (especially on a jet) to fly a constant descent to your FAF. Remember, most of the altitudes depicted on your profile view are minimum altitudes, not targets, unless specifically mentioned. Of course, a CDA descent requires a little more management but it’s definitely the way to go.
CDAs are the standard procedure to go in Europe for NPAs, when i did my conversion to FAA, i was very surprised they teach here the stepdown methodology during IR training whilst the FAA clearly sees the benefits of CDAs per advisory circular 120-108
Thanks for doing this. I'm just now getting into learning the more complex things about this plane and the gps nav and all that, so this was super useful
It’s really fun to practice in the sim. Think some bugs need to be ironed out, but I also have a ton of rust to knock off as well. Happy to help, and hope you enjoyed!
I have been testing TBM RNav and it is hit and miss to get vertical autopilot flight. Horizontal is OK. I have seen the white GP annunciator go green and vertical guidance start while the glidepath tape shows the glidepath at the bottom. Have submitted a bug report. What is useful after selecting an ILS or RNav procedure on the MFD is to select Flight Plan, scroll down and the current leg is in magenta, with the heights shown. Leg moves as the waypoints are passed. I fly with a HOTAS Thrustmaster and program B5 = Vertical Flight, B6 = Increase Ref Altitude B7 = Decrease Ref Altitude, B8 = Toggle Autopilot. On Keyboard Left & Right Arrows move the Heading Bug. Up Arrow = Decrease Vertical Speed and Down Arrow = Increase Vertical Speed. Another tip is that Frequencies are in the Waypoint selection on the MFD. Select the arrival airfield using the iCAO designation, then Frequencies, and scroll down to get an ILS Frequency. There is an option to load it into Nav 1. Handy if a bit embedded. All descents are flown at 300 feet per mile, so to lose 12,000 feet, descend at 40 NMi from the waypoint, and set rate-of-descent with TAS, e.g. at 180 Knots = 3 miles per minute, set the ROD at 900 FPM. PFD shows the vertical sped in a couple of places. Like you, I increase the MFD scale as I approach, and select APP for the Autopilot when in the Approach Procedure. These bindings and practices give good control of the Autopilot with your head in the cockpit. Thanks for the post - corroborates my research and I leant a thing or to as well.
The mysteries of RNAV are many and quite puzzling, not to mention difficult to find answers to. I’ve had numerous instances of success, where the Flight control and NAV literally fly the plane for me down to the TDZ, but other times it seems nothing works and nothing makes sense. Watching this video I had a though about the glidepath capture conditions. Maybe you have to be within a certain glide slope and vertical deviation tolerance for it to take place, hence the long setup to approaches. I don’t think the flight control system would be allowed to make drastic changes for safety reasons, but then again, those aircraft performance parameters might just be another factor that must be established from the beginning (in the VNAV settings?) and would then allow the GPS flight control system to take over the controls under more liberal conditions.
Good to know info that was helpful for me. The speed in which you moved your mouse to show us the specifics was too too too fast. I had to stop the video to see what you were selecting. Your instruction was not geared for novice beginners with first time experience on the G3000.
Based on what I see, you should have captured glide path from above at jalpa given you were at altitude constraint prior to reaching the waypoint. I find the GPS approaches finnicky. Is this fairly common? Nice procedures all the same. Greta stuff. Subbed
Love this plane ... but MSFS just can t manage to make it work for more than a few minutes and then it all falls apart. Grrr. Do yuo recommend this add on ? "The G3000 mod by Working Title" any other ideas how to improve the function and bugs Im getting from MSFS with this plane ? Thanks for all the detail !
So is VNAV not working on your decent? Normally you can put in the altitude you want and VNAV should get you to the way point then set lower for the next waypoint and VNAV should handle it for you.
Very good video! I was wondering why there is no hud and velocity vector on civilian aicrafts? It would make landing with low visibility so much easier and safer.
My understanding is that you cannot continue the approach if the CDI scale does not sequence from enroute mode through terminal to approach. I'm pretty sure it did not, is this a bug?
ok so i bought this game thinkin ok i can fly u kno ace combat, elite dangerous, gtaV .... ....two weeks later i m still learning Microsoft Flight Sim ffs there are sooo many systems and buttons i mean its like a real plane its crazy its like a full simulator i was blown away by this game. mind blown. no need to say i have not got a clue whats in this video if u not a pilot how u ment to know these buttons charts and maps??? i m shoeless lol
@@martingreen7737 For sure in lpv procedure he must follow the minimum on the chart. At the minimum if he didnt see the runway he must do the go around. LPV does not means CAT III
you should be able to press inset on that screen, then there should be an option that just says off. That is what turns it off in other aircraft with the same avionics. Didn't try it on the TBM, but that worked in the Cirrus just a moment ago.
WJL - there are some issues with the G1000/3000 and some of the other avionics systems that are supposed to be addressed to some extent in the update slated for around 9/21. The live weather bug should be fixed then as well. Great landing, though !
acegh0st I hope the live weather gets fixed. Kinda been a bummer on the flights I’ve done around Alaska specifically. Interesting to see if the patch fixes this problem on the GPS approach, it seems more like a issue with the approach itself, but it did work well enough in the end to get the job done haha. Thank you!
WJL - there are a lot of little issues with a lot of the more advanced avionics. It’s interesting because it seems like the functionality is mostly there, but it just does quirky stuff like this in certain situations. There are also more basic issues with the AP in some of the planes, like where the aircraft will just struggle to hold a basic GPS vector or ILS approach and start oscillating. It seems to me these things are mostly caused by very basic bugs that have cascading effects. We’ll see. From what I’ve read the live weather thing is already fixed and just needs to be tested before the patch, which is due within a week, fingers crossed.
I am trying to find an actual beginner's tutorial for the TBM. It seems you are flying already and desperate to hurry and get your flight success before familiarizing us with actually setting it up using the mid lower dash window. Can you understand what I'm talking about? It may be not with flying at first but a ground school or class setting. Still looking
I understand what you’re talking about, but I feel like I’m not the guy to be doing a tutorial type of thing on these things. Much more knowledgeable people out there, but I guess I could go over what I do in future videos perhaps.
Now THAT was an instrument landing. GREAT video that shows you have to fly the instruments and use the charts.

Excellent Video. Thanks. Especially liked how you kept the approach plate on the screen to allow us to follow the process on it.

Nicely made video ! I'l love to see how to handle a missed approach - published and vectored by ATC. Have been having trouble with those...
That landing works for me 👍

VNAV isn't working.
Very good video!

There is, it just costs $$$. Some civilian jets have it.
Great video! I learned a lot.
My understanding is that you cannot continue the approach if the CDI scale does not sequence from enroute mode through terminal to approach. I'm pretty sure it did not, is this a bug?
The default avionics aren’t the best, a lot is missing or incorrect
My game often crashes when editing waypoints does anyone else have this result
GPS is so practical, that it is boring.
Where do you get your Minimums from to enter in ?
You would find minimums listed on the approach plate.
This is awesome bra
damn that was good
So how do u enable radar altitude on this plane?
ok so i bought this game thinkin ok i can fly u kno ace combat, elite dangerous, gtaV ....
....two weeks later i m still learning Microsoft Flight Sim ffs there are sooo many systems and buttons i mean its like a real plane its crazy its like a full simulator i was blown away by this game. mind blown. no need to say i have not got a clue whats in this video if u not a pilot how u ment to know these buttons charts and maps??? i m shoeless lol
Nice Video
Thank you!
Great video.
Anyway At the minum the runway was not visible
Just so you know, if you are flying an LPV approach, you DO NOT use the step down fixes. You follow the glidepath that the LPV displays.
@@martingreen7737 For sure in lpv procedure he must follow the minimum on the chart. At the minimum if he didnt see the runway he must do the go around. LPV does not means CAT III
Hello, how do you make the map disappear in the lower right corner of the pfd ?

@@WJL31 Thank a lot ! 🙂
Nail biter at the end.
Almost turning into a flying a missed approach video lol. Still trying to figure out what was up with that glide path...
