We'll learn about RNAV approaches and then fly one using the new G1000 NXi in Microsoft Flight Simulator. In this video, I do an IFR flight from KALB to KMHT using VNAV with autopilot, and then fly an RNAV LPV approach. This video shows the first version of the G1000 NXi (verison 0.1.0) by the Working Title team, which is available in the in-game MSFS Marketplace.
Since the NXi is changing rapidly, some things in this video may be different today, so check out my NXi Update videos in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sgzSPhkCSU&list=PLLLBKaoTB8DZbQALw3Egx9zNz8xDta-xz&index=2
