For real…finding simple, practical info in these manuals takes a decade. I learned the 650 simply by playing with it. I got checked out in a 650 equipped airplane, got the garmin trainer app thingy to supplement and just learned by fiddling around and watching videos like this.
I need to learn way more about my 430w. The instructor would always plug in the IFR points for me, bad idea imo. I feel that every single student should see it performed a few times and then they do it after that with the instructor picking up the missed steps until the student gets it.
I bought X-Plane sim and invested in the Honeycomb yoke and throttle quadrant. Then RealSimGear has a 430/530 you can connect. Its a good investment because learning it all in the plane is difficult and expensive. Especially more expensive if your instructor works the all the buttons for you and you don't build that buttonology.
Good Instructors know how to fly AND know how to teach. Sadly some are good pilots but are not good at teaching. Find one who can do both. I give my students EXERCISES and SCENARIOS and let them jump in and do it themselves with guidance.
One thing is for sure, I'm only using about 10% of the functions of the GNS 530/430 when I fly, so I gotta get better at this. Thanks for the clear instructions.
This video is Fantastic, thank you. I'm a Navy Pilot and we are trained a very specific way on different equipment. Every aircraft with exception of 13 hours 7 years ago, I have flown glass and a GPS system thats different. I'm planning to do a checkout flight this weekend to do rental soon and I'm a lil panicked due to completley unfamiliar with steam gauges and the 530 GPS. This is definitely very helpful.
I've been wondering how to utilize the bearing carrot and data field on the 530/430. Went back and watched this video and there it was (the explanation). As with all your videos the information is all there on the screen. By replaying over and over and looking at the six-pack and the navigation (including the "pages") and comm panels, it's all there. And if one doesn't understand it now, over time and with practice and instruction, it starts to come together and when it does it's a real thrill. Of course, don't use it for a while and it deteriorates somewhat or a lot.
@5:08 VOR1 is the top "compass." When you switch from C to V, the centerline jumps right. You twist OBS to re-center it. Visually I can follow along but I don't understand what's happening. Would someone mind ELI5? Seriously, like I'm five. Thanks
If you haven’t done it already, go watch a video on VOR Navigation. It’s not complicated, but you need the basics of radio navigation to understand the CDI.
I'd use X-Plane for training. Though the system quality is just barely inferior (mostly the gns considering they couldn't even get licenses for the name garmin), the physics are amazing
I am new to sim. I am a ppl learning ifr. That why Im getting into Sim. I have Xplane. What sim are you using? My 430 on xplane lacks a lot of real world fuctionality?
Off topic but as a current instrument student, I prefer xplane 12 way more than MSFS. Even the movement of the CDI needle is so unrealistic in MSFS. It makes it so annoying for me to have practice VOR stuff.
In ten minutes this man taught me more than the Garmin POH could. Aviation manuals have the flare and intrigue of a senate bill.

Tell him so. My CFII did the same until I said leave everything for me as this raring certifies me for single pilot operation.
yea but we’re so bored :(
I have to consciously restrain myself from touching radios while teaching. it’s tough!
You found yourself an hour building instructor. Get another one if you can.

WHAT? There's more to it than "direct to", enter, enter?
ABC as taught to me in college, Accurate, Brief, Clear.
Many thanks.

Always the best explaining the good old days navigation. Thanks.
It would be awesome if you could do a video like this for the G5 PFD
At around minute 9:45 the FERKO leg is activated. Why not use direct to instead of leg activation? Is there a difference?
I believe in the video that he was being vectored.
Another winner, my friend! Thanks as always!

And I can’t set the clock on my stove.
As someone who just bought a plane with a 430 in it... omg thanks!
Very well done. Concise and a route we can practice. Thanks! !! !!!
How do I get this version of the c172? My MSFL only has the one with G1000 on it
I really could have used this 8 yrs ago when the army had gotten new uh72's and I was going thru the transition course!
Until this video, I NEVER knew how to get these two Garmins to go on to the next screen. LOL Thanks. :)
Is there a video that includes holds using the 430/530??
These avionics are great but it is a shame they will not load airways. I think the 650/750 was an improvement that allowed that feature.

I have both Xplane and MSFS and whenever I use MSFS I end up spending way more time in the settings menu than flying.
does it have ap?
In the initial setup how do you change the CDI from VLOC to GPS? When I hit NAV on my FPS it doesn't work
The CDI button.
just wondering what your flight sim setup is? Im doing instrument training and am considering getting back into MSFS. Any recs?
What website is that were I can use this simulator
Thank you, really useful video, appreciated!

He‘s on Microsoft Flight Simulator 40th Anniversary, flying the Cessna 172SP included in the Deluxe Edition.
Is this msfs or xplane?
Great video . Thanks again
Was this X Plane or MSFS?
