I am the newbie that asked for help. Jonathan you are just an AWESOME person to take time out to make this video. I looked extensively on RUclips for videos to help me bridge my basic knowledge of flying. I came from previous versions of MSFS to the current version and I was entirely lost. Johnathan's videos always stood out to me and I saved them for viewing again and again. This video will definitely allow me to start flying and move forward with my knowledge. Thank you Johnathan, you are truly the BEST!!!
Hard agree. Easy to listen to, as well. Many Flight Sim RUclipsrs can do good content, but I want to click away after 2mins of listening to others. Not so here.
I agree. This is my guide to enjoying ifr snd ils nav mode. But now what if we go to an aircraft with a garmin like in a Piper. Can we do fhe same lol😮😅
Thankyou Johnathan for explaining so well and to the point in a very calm and interesting way it keeps me focused to learn I appreciate your time and effort and enthusiasm I'm nearly 60 now and enjoying msfs very much
This is exactly what I was looking for. I don't need every detail yet. I just wanted a place to begin. Not completely in depth with everything that's possible. I just wanted a good place to start using ILS. This worked for me perfectly. Thank you.
From a retired airline pilot: congrats!! I learned a lot about certain MSFS- and G1000-specific things, you are truly a master at what you showed us and I wish you all the best 🤗
I live in South Carolina, in the US. I tried a lot of videos on ILS approaches and could never make much sense of them and could never complete an ILS landing.. Then I found your video and you made it all come together! I installed Little Navmap also, which helped tremendously. I can now do ILS landings with ease!! Thank you so much for your time and effort you put into this video.
One of the most informative videos you’ve done to date. Good on ya. You broke the process down in a way that was not speaking just over the heads of the viewer. I now have a better understanding of the difference between GPS, LOC 1 and 2 and how to better utilize them for navigation. The part where you went to the “more” options was something I was missing. Now all of that is sorted. You, JB, have given us many informative videos and I in particular enjoy watching you fly. I always pick up a pointer or two while watching. Thank you. PS. More videos like this please.
This is what I have been wishing for, thank you. I will try this flight a few times, while also looking at LNM on the other screen, and then move over to a flight near my home airport. I think you made the PMDG 737 tutorial flight like this that I love so much. This is the way I learn best, show me, explain how, and let me follow along, and then I get it. Thank you.
You make the best and most helpful videos on the subject of flying! New folks and seasoned pilots can learn from your great instruction. I try not to miss any new videos you put out! Thank you once again!
You sir, are an absolute legend. I have struggled for years to understand the glass cockpit in my flight simulators and here we are, in 30 mins and with some plain speaking, they no longer scare me. Well done. 🎮🎮
Like another recent commenter, I've been using MSFS for about a year now and have long struggled with ILS. I couldn't seem to get to first base, and so I largely gave up trying. Then I watched this video, and, like, WOW. It made sense. It looked easy to follow. I tried a flight of my own in a c172. Nailed the ILS landing the first time. Then I tried an ILS landing my my daily flyer (Milviz Cessna C310R). And like, double-WOW, I nailed the ILS landing first time! Your efforts to share your knowledge are greatly appreciated.
Great tutorial!! As a lifelong aspiring pilot, my career took me in other directions, so it never happened. I ended up a post-secondary culinary instructor. As others have noted you have a very good natural delivery of the content & goals. I actually have MSFS 1.0, a Christmas gift in 1982-3 when I was 10-11 years old, the single floppy disk for IBM. Many more versions through the years, but outside of a fair understanding of avionics & general flight etc. I never got far beyond throttle up, fly and hope for the best. Now that I have more time, I'm back into simming, and this video was a game changer. 4 flights: 1st & 2nd, while watching your video (lots of pauses involved), so very helpful. Success! 3rd on my own, programing from memory & notes, but missed something regarding the descent, after overpassing ATC re-routed me to RW 20. I feel like I was able to do a 180 and stick that landing due to running through the previous procedures. 4th, Yeah!! Yesterday my son and I got set up to do the flight, but by the time we got everything programed it was real time clear weather, but well after sunset in California. We went ahead, and like you said we hardly had to look out the windows (other than to look at the scenery). I can hardly believe that we just completed an IFR flight, at night, just following the instruments. I have 2 boys in Aerospace Engineering, I'm a little jealous. We look forward to more of your content!
This video is a masterpiece among videos on Flight Planning. I wish I'd found it 2 years ago! It answered a lot of questions I've always had and didn't get answered in the books I've found out in other videos. Thanks a million!
And the bonus ability to export plans *from* Little Navmap straight into MFSF itself as you prep a flight is amazing. LNM is much more efficient at adding points, etc.
Brilliant video. I have fumbled my way through navigation but so needed a tutorial like this to fill in the basics. I have found navigation one of the hardest things to get a grip of. Thank you for doing this and highly valuable for us "Beginners".
Wow! Just love your great pacing and explanation of ILS concepts with the G1000 / 172. I've been on & off FS for decades and every time I have a break for a few months, I come back and don't remember how to fly anything other than simple VFR's. The one aspect I NEVER remember is the 'order' of programming the G1000. Your wonderful video just makes so much sense and locks in all the ideas swimming in your head from previous study and watching vids, consolidating it all into a very simple and easy to follow method. More importantly is it's so simple, it's repeatable! Well done sir :)
stunning video .Easy to understand and follow your lesson.As a Dutch guy i really appriciate your time and efford to help us newbeys out. You are a great teacher ,great voice. So happy i found this video.Greatingd from the Netherlands
Nicely done Jonathan. You’ve a real talent for explaining complex subject matter in an easy to understand and conversational delivery. Personally, I hope you’ll consider providing more of this type content.
Legendary video, just hopping back into flight sim, and learning how to use the Garmin really makes a world of difference rather than fighting the joystick the whole flight to try and get a plane straight and level lol
Even though I already knew all of this, still found it valuable and interesting. You’re a fab teacher JB. Got the perfect cadence for imparting knowledge 👍
What a brilliant tutorial Jonathan. I’m just embarking on my MFS journey and this just fills in so many gaps for a complete newbie! You should be a flight instructor!!! Thanks!
Thank you so much. You are a fantastic flight instructor. I have been trying to land with ILS with no luck and finally, you made a complex instruction so simple. Thank again
Again thank you so much. This is the best RUclips video I have found for just basic, this is how it works stuff. I learned so much and flew the same plan and it turned out exactly the same. Gave me 1000% more confidence in what I was planning and doing. Thank you so much. Changed everything for me. 😊😊😊
Wow, this was by far the best ILS/NAV/APP mode intro tutorial I've seen. I had watched a few videos previously, but these modes still seemed to be a mystery mostly because I didn't even know where to find free charts to practice with. I'm going to download Little Navmap and try out my first auto-approach today! Update: I did it! And it was a simple process thanks to your video.
That was brilliant for me, but not for the intended purpose as I am experienced both IRL and in the sim. However, I found it a great instructional primer on how to use the G1000. I've steered clear of glass cockpits until now as it all looks far too busy, but think I will give it a try.
Very useful and well presented video on what can be a complex subject, especially for those new to flight sims. Thanks again Jonathan for breaking down the process for us novices. 😊
Great introduction! It might be worth pointing out that you can get ILS frequency from the MSFS world map by enabling navaids and finding the relevant localizer icon. While it doesn't give you the course, the runway name provides at least an approximate course within five degrees.
Nice work Jonathan, you have just recruited about 500 new pilots to MSFS flying school. I remember doing this on FSX in the default Beechcraft Baron G58, and always forgetting to hit the APR approach button, happy days.
What a great video, thank you. I remember learning all this many years ago in a real aeroplane, without all the fancy instruments. I have just got MSFS and am trying to get it started, with all the options and settings. Thanks again.
Well done! Perfect overview of how to use the G1000s and execute a simple flight plan. Especially like the simple explanation of the different CDI modes and your clear demonstration of what happens when switching between NAV and HDG and back again. Some people are natural teachers. You’ve got that gift. Thanks!
Many thanks Jonathan for a great tutorial. Although I've been simming for years, I've never used the G1000 for anything other than the basic '6-pack' instruments. This has given me more confidence to give AP a try, now I have more understanding 🙂
Hah finally a good video. All those built-in training missions completely omitted the steps in between, how to find the next target/VOR, how to program them. All they do is set everything up for you and let you complete one step. On my last attempt I got so lost from EDDM to EDJA that I landed on some highway in the middle of some cars to regroup because I just couldn't figure out what knobs to turn to find back to EDJA. Found it only after lots of trial and error and later landed probably on the wrong runway (tower complained a lot). Need holidays to bindge watch your videos now to learn how to properly do all this.
of course you know you can save your LNM flight plan then export it into msfs . Then you can open MORE and import your saved LNM flight plan. Easy Peasy.
Yes - as I replied elsewhere - I didn't do this on purpose - because I wanted to show that you can create the flight plan completely in the map screen.
That was a great tutorial! I think it would be helpful to mention that you can import, and export flight plans easily to and from MSFS and Little Nav Maps too. Which lets you plan from either of the systems just one time. ✈
I needed this.. I haven't bought and installed the game because I was afraid of all the technical knowledge and where the buttons are to program different things and it just seemed overwhelming. This has helped a lot. Thumbs up!
I watched hundred videos before I bought my Xbox and the game yesterday. My first playtimes was a disaster. I was like a bouncing bal. But this video is so great. I think it will help a lot. You have a new subscriber and hope to see a lot of help for a new player as me
Superbly explained. Even though I'm a PPL, I've only flown with steam gauges, so the G1000 lessons are very enlightening, as are the explanations for some of the functions of MSFS, which can be somewhat non-intuitive at times.
Absolutely perfect explanation not missing a single point or skipping a button that you used. Little Navmap was a cool program - you earned a sub. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Jonathan, I wish to join the chorus of folks congratulating you on an excellent beginner tutorial. As an old-school simmer since FS98 and an educator myself, this is the kind of content that I think is sorely needed for MSFS. I truly think you could and should make a continuing series exploring the different radios and navigation options, slowly increasing the complexity. You did an ILS approach for this video, perhaps the next video you could do a GPS precision approach with the G1000. You could then maybe do an ILS and GPS approach tutorial using the 530. Another video you could do the planning in the airplane using the G1000 and explore some of its features. With your great facility for explaining and great pedagogical sense, I think you could definitely become the "teacher" to the MSFS folks who want to do more than just get in the air an fly around. And yes, I do know that you already have a LOT of content of this type... but I think that a completely structured... follow this videos in this order and getting increasingly complex would be a great series. Once again. Great job with this one!
You might have wanted to wait a bit as MSFS 2024 is releasing in Nov. Hopefully you got a good deal! Excellent video as always! I always learn something new from these videos.
I don't know what you do for a living but I imagine you must work in education. Your guides are astounding, both in terms of your command of the subject material and (more significantly) your register for the audience. Bravo!
Hello!, I am thinking on joining a PPL course here in Spain. I've never fly on a small plane, just love everything about flying airplanes, altough radio communication seems quite impossible to understand. Thanks for your tutorials, you doing a superb job!
An excellent, easy to follow introduction to flight planning and execution. Great work!! I've used Little Nav Map before, but now I understand it! Thank you so much!
You have a perfect way of explaining things Jonathan and after watching many training videos for MS sim you hands down are the best at what you do. Not only that you sound like such a nice bloke, so a follow from me as I continue to try and keep learning this game on my Xbox. I am a newbie to flying, although I did have a go at flying my friend’s plane many years ago, so I need all the help I can get. But with your help, I am now enjoying FS even more. Cheers my friend.
GREAT tutorial. There are always tips and tricks we can pick up. One of my clients had a Cherokee 180 and I have flown that exact flight several times. The restaurant at Petaluma is called The 49er Diner. That was a very fun flight to be a part of. Thanks! !! !!! Charles Shultz was the artist behind the Peanuts character and many of the waypoints around KSTS are related to the Peanuts characters.
Outstanding video. Thanks! Do you have a recommended order of your videos to date for novices to follow to grow understanding, confidence and competence. Any thoughts appreciated..👌
I am the newbie that asked for help. Jonathan you are just an AWESOME person to take time out to make this video.

This is freakin awesome. Im a flight sim enthusiast and PPL student and Ill definitely be subscribing here

Thanks Ron cuz radios and IFR etc is making me 🤪 😜 🤪

Thankyou Johnathan for explaining so well and to the point in a very calm and interesting way it keeps me focused to learn I appreciate your time and effort and enthusiasm I'm nearly 60 now and enjoying msfs very much
That was absolutely the best beginner tutorial I have watched and learned something clearly I never fully understood for years. Thank you.
Nice videos. Why isn’t the localizer course automatically set?
This is the best guide that new sim pilots could possibly ask for. Thank you very much for time an effort to educate new sim pilots.
Im doing flight sim for years and never really understood ILS and VOR,and this video explained it so simple,wow,awesome. Greetings from South Africa
I’m new to MSFS. This is the best description of ILS on RUclips
This is exactly what I was looking for. I don't need every detail yet. I just wanted a place to begin. Not completely in depth with everything that's possible. I just wanted a good place to start using ILS. This worked for me perfectly. Thank you.
From a retired airline pilot: congrats!! I learned a lot about certain MSFS- and G1000-specific things, you are truly a master at what you showed us and I wish you all the best 🤗
Cheers :) Just sharing what I learn with the community - I'm often only a page or two ahead :)
Little Nav Map is really excellent. Makes it so much easier.
I live in South Carolina, in the US. I tried a lot of videos on ILS approaches and could never make much sense of them and could never complete an ILS landing.. Then I found your video and you made it all come together! I installed Little Navmap also, which helped tremendously. I can now do ILS landings with ease!!

By far the clearest introduction to auto pilot I've watched. Solved so many of the little issues I was having, thank you!
This video is a masterpiece among videos on Flight Planning. I wish I'd found it 2 years ago! It answered a lot of questions I've always had and didn't get answered in the books I've found out in other videos. Thanks a million!
Thanks for making this video - I am struggling with ILS in the 930 and this makes things clearer for me.
And the bonus ability to export plans *from* Little Navmap straight into MFSF itself as you prep a flight is amazing. LNM is much more efficient at adding points, etc.
How do I import from littlenav direct to msfs ? Thx
Brilliant video. I have fumbled my way through navigation but so needed a tutorial like this to fill in the basics. I have found navigation one of the hardest things to get a grip of. Thank you for doing this and highly valuable for us "Beginners".
Honestly you provide one of the best flight simulator training resources on here fella and number 1, it is about fun. chapeau to you, many thanks.
Wow! Just love your great pacing and explanation of ILS concepts with the G1000 / 172.

Absolutely - I actually prefer making this sort of video, to doing the "first looks" :)
Legendary video, just hopping back into flight sim, and learning how to use the Garmin really makes a world of difference rather than fighting the joystick the whole flight to try and get a plane straight and level lol
Even though I already knew all of this, still found it valuable and interesting. You’re a fab teacher JB. Got the perfect cadence for imparting knowledge 👍
I've been watching MANY guides. This is by far one of the best explained ones. Thank you so much, great work.
What a brilliant tutorial Jonathan. I’m just embarking on my MFS journey and this just fills in so many gaps for a complete newbie! You should be a flight instructor!!! Thanks!
I am just back into MSFS and that Little NavMap is a beauty. Great job here, Thank you.
Thank you so much. You are a fantastic flight instructor. I have been trying to land with ILS with no luck and finally, you made a complex instruction so simple. Thank again
I have over 5K hours on MSFS and I learned a lot here. Thank you!
Five thousand hours on MSFS? At say 4 hrs a week that would take you 25 years.
@@2AdAlchemy: 4 hours a week? I have spent 15 hours in two days on msfs 😅
Again thank you so much. This is the best RUclips video I have found for just basic, this is how it works stuff. I learned so much and flew the same plan and it turned out exactly the same.

Update: I did it! And it was a simple process thanks to your video.
This looks like a very usable tutorial. I recommend this for anyone wondering how to get started flying.
Exactly what I needed. Thanks for comparing world map with little navmap. That helps me too. Awesome.
That was brilliant for me, but not for the intended purpose as I am experienced both IRL and in the sim. However, I found it a great instructional primer on how to use the G1000. I've steered clear of glass cockpits until now as it all looks far too busy, but think I will give it a try.

Took some notes, now I'm off to my grandson's xbox...I'm on/off for years on FSX and over the years playing with older ones way back.
I've watched many tutorials and this is by far the best. Thanks!
Well done! Perfect overview of how to use the G1000s and execute a simple flight plan. Especially like the simple explanation of the different CDI modes and your clear demonstration of what happens when switching between NAV and HDG and back again. Some people are natural teachers. You’ve got that gift. Thanks!
This is an excellent tutorial and I just did my first ILS landing using G1000. Big Thank you!!!!
OMG I just got Rare Achievement in MSFS 2020 on Xbox for Staying on Track using ILS just by following this tutorial, thank you! Awesome instructions1
btw NAV active freq is to the right of 2 numbers, COM active freq is to the left of 2 numbers. basically active NAV and COM are closest to the middle
Many thanks Jonathan for a great tutorial. Although I've been simming for years, I've never used the G1000 for anything other than the basic '6-pack' instruments. This has given me more confidence to give AP a try, now I have more understanding 🙂

That was well done...I look forward to flying that route as a good instructional. You sir, deserve a slow clap!👏👏👏
Great refresher course. Am now inspired to study the systems more.
Please do more... what an explaination... bravo!!!
Just going through the basic flying school included in MSFS20, but this is great to know for when the time comes. Thanks for a great tutorial
Great instructional video. I wish I had this base of learning when I first started on MSFS. Are you a teacher IRL ? More vids like this pls 🙂
Not a teacher - but I do have a little teaching experience in the corporate world :)
Grand video and instructions. Thanks much. Your phrase “… no flying skills required…” says it all.
Brilliant, I've been flying in the sim for years and you taught me a lot in this video, congratulations on going back to basics and thank you
Glad to help!
Great, after 700 h of MSFS 2020 there is always something new, thanks.
I watched hundred videos before I bought my Xbox and the game yesterday.
My first playtimes was a disaster. I was like a bouncing bal. But this video is so great. I think it will help a lot. You have a new subscriber and hope to see a lot of help for a new player as me
Best newb guide I’ve seen for this sort of content. Thanks.
Superbly explained. Even though I'm a PPL, I've only flown with steam gauges, so the G1000 lessons are very enlightening, as are the explanations for some of the functions of MSFS, which can be somewhat non-intuitive at times.
Absolutely perfect explanation not missing a single point or skipping a button that you used. Little Navmap was a cool program - you earned a sub. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Please do more like this! This was incredible.

Once again. Great job with this one!
You are a LEGEND!!! Best content creator "BAR-NON"!!!
Very good tutorial. Always wondered what APR mode was. Thanks for not boring the crap out of us like some youtubers
Just bought msfs 2020 and this is such a massive help, Thank You for taking the time to make this tutorial, its helped me no end :)
You might have wanted to wait a bit as MSFS 2024 is releasing in Nov. Hopefully you got a good deal! Excellent video as always! I always learn something new from these videos.
I don't know what you do for a living but I imagine you must work in education. Your guides are astounding, both in terms of your command of the subject material and (more significantly) your register for the audience. Bravo!
Hello!, I am thinking on joining a PPL course here in Spain. I've never fly on a small plane, just love everything about flying airplanes, altough radio communication seems quite impossible to understand. Thanks for your tutorials, you doing a superb job!
Outstanding video that will require some disciplined study on my part to gain comfortable understanding. I needed this video - thank you Jonathan!
Fantastic, thanks for making these beginner vids for us newbs 🙂
An excellent, easy to follow introduction to flight planning and execution. Great work!! I've used Little Nav Map before, but now I understand it! Thank you so much!
Couple of days after purchase, this is super super helpful.
I subscribed to your channel as soon as MSFS Came out ,Never disappointed of your helpful knowledge
I'm just sharing what I learn as I go :)
The best tutorial I have seen for years. Greate job, Thx.
You have a perfect way of explaining things Jonathan and after watching many training videos for MS sim you hands down are the best at what you do. Not only that you sound like such a nice bloke, so a follow from me as I continue to try and keep learning this game on my Xbox. I am a newbie to flying, although I did have a go at flying my friend’s plane many years ago, so I need all the help I can get. But with your help, I am now enjoying FS even more. Cheers my friend.
Thank you! The navmap was worth every second downloading.
A great vid but also for beginners its a good idea to set up an approach with the ils and watch how it's done then emulate the process of learning.
GREAT tutorial. There are always tips and tricks we can pick up. One of my clients had a Cherokee 180 and I have flown that exact flight several times. The restaurant at Petaluma is called The 49er Diner. That was a very fun flight to be a part of. Thanks! !! !!! Charles Shultz was the artist behind the Peanuts character and many of the waypoints around KSTS are related to the Peanuts characters.
Only have 35 hours in the sim but this really makes me want to get back in it. Wish there was a delivery system or something.
Best video ever!!! I learnt so much . Now I feel like I understand my simulator 😊
That was really useful. I may have to watch it a few times more to get it ingrained and practice quite a bit. Just the video I was looking for.
Your spot on. Absolutely Right!
Thanks! Johnathan, this video simplifies everything
You're welcome :)
Awesome, thank you sir! You once again took me from Whaaaaat??? to Ohhhhhhh!!! Much appreciated! Happy flying!
Thank you Jonathan for this video, i'm new to MSFS and this video really helped me. Many thanks!
Fantastic video. You simplified it for the basic person to understand it. Keep up the great videos and thanks for taking the time.
Jonathan, thanks so much! Excellent tutorial. Loved it. Keep them coming
Great vid..i enjoyed it. Not one boring second and very educational. (i have never flown a plane before)
What a brilliant video for beginners thank you
that was one of the most complete but simple to follow guides thsnkyou
Outstanding video. Thanks!
Do you have a recommended order of your videos to date for novices to follow to grow understanding, confidence and competence. Any thoughts appreciated..👌
Not really :) I did some real-world training exercises a while back - that might be interesting? ruclips.net/video/8A5KPpab3z0/видео.html
Thank you, as a newbie I found that most informative and very helpful.
This is so beneficial matey, thank you so much.
Do you have videos on RNAV, and other types of approaches and when to use each one?
Thats a great idea - RNAV seems to be badly described everywhere - I'll make a video :)
@@jonbeckett you are right - thanks matey
Great video! I followed along and learnt a lot. Time to try my own route based on this video...
Great stuff matey - quick question, as an Xbox User, how would I get details on the ILS and depending on where it is, how to set up my flight plan?
chartfox.org might be your best option.
excellent simple to follow and understand tutorial , Thankyou
