Introduction To VNAV for Cirrus Pilots

VNAV is a powerful tool in the Cirrus Garmin avionics suites for both SR Piston and SF50 Vision Jet models of aircraft. It's also one of the less understood aspects of automation.
Would you like learn more about how VNAV can help make your next arrival or approach a breeze? Give this video a watch and then go watch the companion video: Flying with VNAV to see it in action!

The order is "Bug, then Button". Think of it as "Show, then Tell", you show it what you want it to do, then you tell it to do it. This is a very common protocol for auto flight control systems.
For example; There are many systems where the setting of the altitude bug talks to the vertical speed. When a lower altitude is selected, the autopilot sees a descent is requested and a preprogrammed vertical speed will be set upon selection of Vertical Speed.
A very good video.
