Descent Planning Made Easy - NO VNAV or Calculator Required By thecorporatepilotdad Two methods used in descent planning are demonstrated. The first method is extremely simple and shows when to start the descent based on time. Method 2 shows when to start the descent based on distance and what rate of descent is required. VNAV makes descent planning easy, but for jets like the FlySimware Lear 35, there is no FMS, and no VNAV. Descent planning is easy without VNAV, and after watching this video, you will be able to plan a descent without the aid of VNAV. One thing to consider when descending is true airspeed (TAS). TAS will drop significantly from cruise altitude to altitudes below 10,000 feet (in a jet). Will descent rate stay the same during the descent or will it change? A combination of methods 1 and 2 will make descent planning easy. The simple math for both methods are shown at the end of the video.

This tutorial covers how to do an ILS approach with the aid of VNAV in the newly updated TBM 930 in the Avionics and Aircraft Update in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Not shown in the video is selecting VNAV on the MFD menu and enabling VNAV. Be sure to do this to get VNAV to work. Vertical Navigation data comes from the G3000 and will be used up to the final approach fix. After that, the glide slope is used to fly the glide slope portion of ILS approach to the runway. Vertical and lateral flight modes are also discussed in detail along with how to go direct to a point after the IAF is selected. "Ghost needles", altitude selection, and even how to check the weather at the destination is shown. thecorporatepilotdad Youtube channel The Corporate Pilot Guys Podcast About The Author This video is produced by thecorporatepilotdad.

/images/notams/notams22/wire0210.jpg2021 was a busy year at FlyByWire Simulations. Looking back atwhere we started and how far we have come, we are immensely thankfulfor the journey, as well as the support all of you have given to theproject. We love that the hard work our teams put into bringing you arealistic A320neo experience in MSFS has resulted in thousands offlights tracked on our web site daily. We would like to take a moment to thank our development, marketingand QA teams, as well as the many outside contributions that have beenmade to all parts of the project that have helped make the A32NX intowhat it is. We are also grateful for every type rated A320 pilot whostands by us to make sure we bring a quality product to the table. We have a lot in store for 2022 and over the course of a few weekswe'll be releasing a series of NOTAMs to bring everyone up tospeed. Today's NOTAM will focus on updates to our custom flightmanagement system and vertical navigation. More...

/images/notams/notams21/wire1108.jpgHere is a post from FlyByWire Simulations previewing the VNAVimplementation with exclusive CDA (continuous descent approach)functionality on their A32NX for MSFS: When VNAV? Soon! Here is an early preview of the upcoming VNAVimplementation with a special feature: CDA mode, featuring FLAP1 andFLAP2 pseudo-waypoints. This functionality is only available on theHoneywell FMS, and therefore exclusive to the A32NX! Learn more about CDAhere. Source

Tutorial: How To Use VNAV By thecorporatepilotdad A Professional Pilot's overview of how to use VNAV and how to setup departures (SIDS), arrivals (STARS), how to use it in conjunction with an ILS approach. The basics of VNAV are discussed as well as questions and answers at the end of the video. The CJ4 Working Title Mod is used, but VNAV concepts are similar between aircraft and avionics types. Even though real-life scenarios are discussed, this is for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator. Navigraph charts are used in this demonstration. thecorporatepilotdad Youtube channel Navigraph Get the Working Title CJ4 here About The Author This video is produced by thecorporatepilotdad.

About The Working Title CJ4 Mod This mod aims to modify the default CJ4 to genuinely represent the true capabilities, functions and features of the real aircraft. This mod will continue to be developed over time to add further functionality.

Hi Everyone I have had FS2020 installed for around 2 weeks now, and have been experimenting with many different setup configs, as I suspect so most fliers. As background, I am in fact a qualified PPL with around 1500 hrs P1 time in my log, so not a novice flier, and used the original FS a great deal. I have been flying the C172 in both modes, "steam" gauges and Glass cockpit. The Garmin 1000 is however, giving me real problems compared to the real thing. When I hover/click on say the altitude set knob, up or down, it just shoots off by itself, going up or down for ever until it reaches +1 99,000 ft. Not much help really ? It seems to be a similar problem with several of the Up/Down value rotation knobs. Does anyone know of a fix for this, it is driving me nuts right now. Having the G1000 is great, but if you cannot set it to the values you want, it is not much help at all. It does do current altitude hold OK when you enable it, I just cannot set a target altitude so I can then use FLC or V/Speed options to get there. So ILS approaches for example are really difficult. Hope someone out there can help ? Thanks in advance.
