A quick IFR flight in the stock Cessna C172 in Microsoft Flight Simulator, taking a look at programming a route into the G1000, then flying it - investingating the various PFD options, operating the autopilot along the way through the various CDI and HSI modes, and navigating by VOR, GPS flight plan, and selected heading. We finish with an ILS approach. 02:11 Programming the Flight Plan into the G1000 07:01 Explaining the Primary Flight Display symbology 09:47 Takeoff! 11:44 Switching autopilot to GPS mode 12:48 Programming NAV1 and switching to VOR navigation 19:28 Changing our altitude 22:52 Exploring the PFD 27:13 Descending 28:55 Changing course at RBL 30:13 Navigating towards the ILS 41:20 On the localizer 42:47 Switching to manual approach to illustrate symbology 48:33 Finals 49:07 Landing p.s. I discovered what causes the bad audio - it won't happen next time :) Disclaimer - I'm not a real pilot! I just like messing around with simulators. If you spot a mistake (like running the engine flat out for the first fifteen minutes of the flight), please go easy on me lol. #MSFS #FlightSimulator #Cessna #C172 #Navigation #VOR #GPS #HowTo #Guide #Beginner #HSI #DME #IFR
