Marc, I don't think I have ever commented on any of your videos, but did want to let you know how much I (and clearly others!) appreciate the thought, time and effort you put into this endeavour. You instructional videos are clear, concise and just detailed enough to ensure our understanding without dragging the topic on and on and on to the point where one's eyes glaze over. Whenever I need a refresher on how to do something when preparing for a flight - which happens more times than I care to admit, particularly when I jump into a new aircraft or one I haven't flown for a while - I know I can find the answer on Flight Sim School. Many thanks!
This is fabulous, as always Mark. I always learn from you! One question: when you jumped on the low-altitude airway, I noticed that it did not add the airway to your route, but only the DCT code. Is this a limitation in Navigraph, or am I mistaken in my understanding? Thanks again from just down the road in New Hampshire🤛🏻
Thanks Pete :) From what I saw, there is no way to add the airway name directly to the route (it is on their roadmap of features though). You can drag the flight path over the airway, and if you do it just right it will add the airway itself to the text route, but I find it easier to add the first waypoint of the airway I’ll be using and then the last one.
Good evening. I just subscribed to navigraph but am totally confused as to how to plan a route. All I see is what you showed at 2:50, what or where can I find the flight plan tool? I didn't get much time to play with it as I was in a bit of a hurry to get at least one flight in as I had to go to sleep bc I work 3rd shift. Thank you in advance.
There is an autoroute option, but if you're doing an airliner flight, typically you'll use simbrief first and then load that into navigraph. For shorter IFR flights with GA planes, I tend to do the planning myself for a bit more fun with the process I explain in this video. Hope that helps
@FlightSimSchool I finally figured it out. Though I can't upload my flight plan to the G1000, I do appreciate the fact that navigraph inserted their system into the unit so you can duplicate your flight plan. It's definitely a learning curve, especially for individuals like myself that are complete noobs to this flying atmosphere. I've defined gained a whole new respect for pilots.
hi can you help me out, i am usig simbrief and navigraph with subscription and SID and Stars but i am alway unable to get to airport witthout handflying plane cessna via using AP i wanted to fly the whole way using ap and land ils using ap to runway

I skipped over that, but what I did was I first picked runway 14 as my runway, and that’s then I saw there were no instrument procedures for it, so I backed out, and picked 26. I hope that clears things up.
One reason I use external flight planning apps is because MSFS2020 doesn't show terrain. Many of the GA planes and ultralights I fly in the sim are quite primitive and demand navigating through mountain ranges rather than simply going over them.
For me it's the charts that I find invaluable; you can get away without them if you're in a G1000 or similar glass cockpit, but for round gauge planes like the Comanche or even the TBM850, you can't do an IFR flight without them.
Thank you for the refresher. It’s always good to go back and revise. Been flying for quite a while now. One thing I’ve noticed tho is sometimes the metar in MSFS doesn’t match real world. For example the other day it gave me a runway that wasn’t not really being used.

Thank you so much for saying that, it means a lot!
Thanks so much Marc. That was extremely useful and very well explained. I'll refer to it often.
Fantastic video. Thank you very much !
Well done on this one Marc, lots of great info for beginners and refreshers for experienced folks as well!
Thanks for the kind words Jeff, much appreciated !
As always, love your videos. Thank you for all that you do
Thanks Skippy!
Hi friend.
I'm from Russia, I like your videos!
Special thanks for the Comanche 250
Thanks for the kind words!
I love your videos. Thanks so much xxx🎉
Thanks Glenda!
so much to learn from nav graf. Thanks

Would you be able to do a video on entering large airspaces as a ga plane?
It's a topic I'm interested in learning and understanding better myself. I'll add it to my list. Thanks for the suggestion!
Cool!
Thank you bro. One thing, how did you know that rwy 14 doesn't have ils procedure ? @9:46, how do u check in Navigraph
If there was an ILS approach, it would have appeared under the list of approaches, something like "ILS RWY 14"

You chose runway 26 because runway 14 did not have instrument procedures. Where can I see on the chart if a runway has instrument procedures or not?

I never understand why people use external apps for planning when everything is in FS2020.
