Beginners guide to flight planning in the Garmin G1000 in Microsoft Flight Simulator
Вставка

- A quick beginners guide to programming and flying using the Garmin G1000 in Microsoft Flight Simulator. In the video we work through most of the buttons on the G1000 primary and secondary flight displays, and look at the basics of flight plan programming. It's a complicated beast, so we will be returning to it in future videos to fly some routes - so think of this as a "taster" :)
p.s. ignore the hilariously bad flight demonstration at the end - which proves if nothing else that I can't multi-task to save my life.

Thanks Jonathan. I'm waiting for a new pc to be delivered so I can Flight Sim again (after almost 16 years! and no, I wasn't a guest of her Majesty). Last time the gauges were round, now they are MFDs, so this is a big help.
I'm 5 minutes into the video and at the risk of repeating myself, this is an ezcellent tutorial. I'm sure I've said that before some time ago, but I don't care, I enjoyed it several times.
This is another excellent video and extremely helpful. It’s a lot for my pea brain to process but you make it very easy to follow. Thank you for all you do!
You always impress us with your clear teaching techniques 🙏👍
This was super handy. Thanks for making this guide :)
Okay, thid time in a row that I am looking for info and your video pops, and turns out good. You gained my sub, thank you!
Thanks for the sub!
Excellent demonstration of the G1000 functions! A great help.
I'm currently on Series X running Beta AAU1 and huge improvements. Terrain detail is now absolutely stunning! Asobo has been doing some real work. SU12 will be an absolute beauty! I'm currently getting in 8 hours a day on this recent Beta and no CTD so far. Very smooth.
Will be interesting to see it.
@@jonbeckett Yes indeed. I'm excited!
The one video I’ve found that helps explain the questions I had, thanks man
You're welcome :)
Always learn something new from your videos, thx for sharing Jon !
You're welcome :)
Cracking video, very well presented and informative. Thanks very much for your time, effort and consideration for new MSFS people.
Glad it was helpful!
This has been a great tutorial sir!! i have leaned a lot. It's going to take my flight sim to the next level, and you have a new sub here!!
Great to hear!
How do you do the flight planning inside the plane, witout going from to, into the flight simulator. Thanks
Very much enjoyed this video. Wonderful tutorial. Thanks! Loved the plain straight and understandable lesson.😃
You're welcome :)
Once again another awesome guide! Thanks
After returning from 20 y/o sims with steam gauges, I hated all this glass cockpit stuff in most of planes. But your video couldnt make it any clearer. Thank you so much.
I love using the VNAV in the G100NXi. Find an approach with multiple constraints and fly the Diamond D62 so you only have to control the throttle. Watch how the computer will bring you down all the way to the runway. It's a lot of fun.
Doesn't that take a lot of the fun away from it for you though ? :)
@@jonbeckett Well, yes, I see your point. Using steam gauged older plane does require a more hands on approach but I still find the VNAV a lot of fun to watch it work. This was first experienced in the CJ4 mod by the Working Title Group. I'm impressed how they can program the software in the simulator to work like that.
Think I 'll take a bus. Great vid. a lot to absorb for us newbies, Will add this to my video reference files,
Have fun!
Very thorough and digestible - excellent video - thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
@@jonbeckett what was the flight planning program you used again?
@@_Fishe_ LittleNavMap
Nice, haven't done a G1000 flight on MS2020 for a while ( been in A320 world ) so thought I'd look up an overview, so refreshing to find one from 4 days ago so it's actually current.
Be nice to see a version of this with Navigraph 8 too.
Yep - I recorded it because it's changed recently.
Another Wonderful video! Thanks!
Nice demo. Thanks!
about 9 minutes into the video you make reference to the airspeed indicator as vertical speed. Just a slight correction. Great video!!
I often do things like that :) It's surprisingly difficult to talk, show, and do - especially as all my videos are typically one-take with no editing (and often no prep lol) :)
@@jonbeckett I teach kids to play instruments and if you saw how many takes I do on my instruction videos, you'd fall out of your chair. Jut silly things like calling fret 6 fret 5 etc. So, I know exactly how it is when playing, talking AND speaking too.
Thank you for doing this video. I’ve learned a great deal from it. I have subscribed!❤
Thanks for subbing!
Another great instructional video. Thanks
You're welcome :)
This is extremely helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! This device Garmin its amazing!
Just what I have been looking for - Many thanks :-)
Glad I could help!
@@jonbeckett Hi - I also had not heard of Little Navmap, which I have now installed. Quick question, please: When launched Little Navmap has colour panels overlaid on the maps. This makes the map a little hard to read. How do I remove the colour overlays?
Really nice video. Just what I needed. Thanks👍
(My background. I'm playing MSFS2020 in VR. Used to just fly around, but have now (Jan 2023) embarked on an epic VR journey CapeTown-NorthPole in a Beechcraft G58 Baron ... I felt the need to learn the instruments, starting with the AP because it's a long journey and I need the/some automation for endurance. So from learning some basic AP, I gradually want to learn more. I found your video. And well ... great stuff❤)
Glad it helped!
Max - Congrats on setting out on your epic VR journey. I'm doing the same thing, following the coastline of North and South America, starting in Maine, to Tierra del Fuego, then up to Anchorage. I find it a great way to learn all these complex parts while doing some great sightseeing.
@@StevePrentice Exactly. I have now nearly crossed Africa. Btw, sometimes I capture the SteamVR mirror for a short clip, just like you take pictures/video on a real trip. It's fun ... ua-cam.com/play/PLJZU-L_doMnC53e7yaMN2lCYfvMNPmOkL.html
@@maxqubit Your videos look great. Once landed, I make a habit of "driving" from the airport to a nice hotel using Google Street view, to get a look at real buildings and neighborhoods. I will also visit points of interest along the way. I also refer to photos that people have posted on Google maps. It's the next best thing to being there. Maybe a distant second, but still a great all-around experience that compensates for MFS graphics.
@@StevePrentice That's a geat idea!
Excellent to the point video
Cheers :)
big, big help- many thanks
You're welcome :)
good video I learned a lot! Thank you
Great presentation. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I've been trying to learn flight planning on the G1000 and this was the most helpful of several videos I have been viewing. Thanks for the thorough, understandable lesson. Earned a Subscribe !
Enjoyed that.
Nice, subscribed
I like to have the inset map on the PFD, but zoomed in to have a closer view of turns etc as I approach. On the MFD I zoom out to have a larger overall flight plan type view. So kind of handy to have the inset map, or at least to me.
Thanks for this review. Re: question at 49:23, rotating the outer knob on the MFD (right side) will go through the nearest airport, etc.
It's odd - I've seen the G1000 behave like the 530 in this screen too - where the FMS knob controlled the chapter/page of the search. I'll have another look at it later.
I live in Chicago and fly out of Meigs Field to surrounding airports. Will you do a video of an ILS flight from Meigs Field to O'Hare International Airport. I am determined to learn ILS. Thank you so much. Oh, how can one person (you) know so much about flying? I am totally impressed. YOU are my instructor.
I'm just learning, along with everybody else - and sharing what I learn :) There's a LOT of procedural stuff that I still don't know, but I'm getting there. I'll take a look at Meigs and O'Hare soon! To be honest, it's easier to learn ILS somewhere that only has one runway, and nothing nearby. I'll see what I can do.
Thanks for an amazing tutorial! I am brand new to MSFS so I have a truly basic question. How are you able to move so seamlessly around the cockpit, zooming in and out and squaring up on different instruments and views? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hold the right mouse button down, and you can pan. Use the cursor keys and you can slide around. You can re-map the keys - I have done so to change the up/down arrow keys to move forwards and backwards easily.
Thanks!
Thank you :)
Curious about something. If the nxi already has autopilot, why does the Kodiak 100 have a separate AP panel?
BTW….your explanation of the inner and outer knobs on the nxi is extremely helpful. Understanding that the outer knob “moves” fields, and the inner know “changes” selections within a field made it so much easier. I have been trying to remember what know does what in various screens, never realizing the simplicity of each knobs use. Even the letters within the origin selection etc, as long as we recognize that the field is only one letter, indicated by the colored box.
This video has been INCREDIBLY helpful!!! Some things I knew. I lot I didn't. Also, I was wondering, @30:41 if you had turned off HDG would the GPS have followed the FPL? Because to me it seemed as if it was still following the heading hence, it wouldn't turn. I mean, I'm a novice but that's what I noticed. I haven't practiced it yet. Regardless, I really do appreciate the video! Thanks from a sim pilot here in Los Angeles!
Cheer!
You can't really "turn off" a mode - you can disable the autopilot though, and then when you re-activate it, it will be in roll hold mode unless you give it different instructions.
Thanks for the informative video. I’m back in flight simulator after a few years and it’s nice learning again. What app did you use for the flight planning and can you export that directly into the G1000?
I have no idea. But Simbrief is actually quite good :)
Very useful, thanks.
Probably a noob question but: Couple of times you mentioned pressing F. What does that do? (Examined my keyboard bindings but the only remotely likely candidate seemed to be "Radio > DME".)
F resets the pilot camera view to looking straight ahead.
I really really hope in fs2024 they make the g1000 fully functional and different from the cirrus perspective and the regular nxi.
thank you
Thanks for the video. Just a quick question... why we can only see +5 -5 degrees pitch angle on the PFD while I see a bigger range than that in the real unit?
Great video, after watching a bunch this one helped me the most. I've always been a hands on VR Pilot but have been intrigued to find out more of the G1000 capabilities. I have a question, once you made the ILS 108.90 active would the auto-pilot line up with the runway on it's own or does that only help to manually find the right course and glide slope?
In NAV mode, the autopilot will follow the ILS localiser signal *laterally* - it will not descend. In APP (or "approach") mode, the autopilot will also follow the glideslope *vertically* down to the runway. However - most autopilots will not "capture" the glideslope from above - you have to fly "into" the glideslope from below it - so fly straight and level into it, and then the plan will start descending. That's why it's important to factor in where you might intercept the centreline - how far away - because then you can work out what altitude you need to be *below* in order to still be below the glideslope at that point. A good rule of thumb - the illustrated "feathers" on the map are typically 8 miles long. At 8 miles, a 3 degree glideslope will be 2500ft above ground level. Remember to work out airfield elevation - you're basing your height on that - not above sea level :)
Thanks for another great tutorial. Would you be willing to do one for the G3000? Selfishly, specifically the one in the Vision Jet? :)
I'll get there :)
At about 32:00 you lost NAV truck cz you deviated a lot from your flight path. If with HDG Mode you go close to your flight plan line, I repeat closer and you engage NAV mode, the AP will do its job. It's like the example you mentioned earlier with The mountains and the lost NAV signal. Congratulations very good tutorial.
Yep.
Hi, could you advise on the magenta CROSSED through height mean within a FP? I created a FP within MSFS and when I check the FP, MFD and route map, part of the route (the magenta hatched heights) is not showing between to waypoints? Therefore the FD cannot direct the AP and the aircraft will fly straight on its current HDG.
Because the flightplan has manual or vectors for that segment - meaning you fly it. or you modify the flight plan :)
I am using VR so I can't alt-tab to another application. Are the ILS and VORTAC frequencies browsable from inside the Garmin?
As I wont have the companion app that you were using.
Hi ! Have a newbie question to ask here , if flying any aircraft with g1000 , do i need to buy anything like switch panel , multifunction panel and radio panel to make them works ? or just use mouse to control everything ? tks
Mouse does everything needed.
How do you get such clear resolution for these glass panels? Mine shows buttons have blurry labels and the frames are kind black rather than greyish like yours. is there a recommended setting? I am using Nvidia RTX 3070.
Another great video. Can you confirm a couple of things I'm struggling with? When you programmed your plan how do you know what is the correct depart & arrival runway to use? Also I'm on Xbox so how can I calibrate the barometric reading? Thanks
Jonathan, how did you get such good graphics? I have MS Flt Sim 2020, but it doesn't look as good as yours? Is there something I should be doing to improve it? Please let me know, great window
I have it set to Ultra. Graphics card is NVIDIA 8030 RTX
Great video - I’m a newbie question for ya -the map you kept going back to get way points what was that map website.
It was a free windows app called LittleNavMap
When entering a flight plan, how do you input a Waypoint based on Lat/Long coordinates?
You should get your private pilot cert, you have 90% of the crap out of the way , learning a G1000 takes a lot of flight time and instruction you now have down. I recommend using a real world Cessna 172 G1000 checklist.
Can you do one of these for the King Air 350i ? Specifically inputting airways into the flight plan
Hello, how can I enable the Flight Path Marker to display. I don't see this tool on the G1000 in MSFS or in the actual airplane. Thanks
Great video ❤ what texture add on are you using? If any
I'm currently in the CAP unit in my area and preparing to train for Mission Scanner. I am going to need to learn how to operate the Garmin G1000 unit in our aircraft. I'm about as much as a beginner as a beginner can be. If I purchase Microsoft Flight Simulator 2023, is this training available for me to learn while I'm at home? Is it on the Standard Version? I want to be on a fast track to learn this system and I think having this type of simulator at home, gives me the opportunity to master it. I just want to make sure before I spend my hard earned money.
The basic version of MSFS has the Cessna 172 with the Garmin G1000 in it. You'll have all sorts of fun learning it :)
Good explanations. In future, I would suggest either getting rid of the command bars if possible (the pink delta) on the VSI , or, better, put them to use.
Perfeito.
Great training and learned a lot.
Do you use joystick or keyboard for your flying ?
Is there a cheat sheet for the keyboard commands?
What was the command you used to cheat and position your plane from the start point on tarmac onto the active runway
16:10, the origin wont start flashing, when I press the middle of the FMS knob, is there any other things I can do to start putting in a flight plan.. (make it flash)
Have you got legacy mode on in the settings ?
@@jonbeckett thanks it works now
this is sssssssssssssoooooooooo cool! what is the flight plan program you are using on the separate window
LittleNavMap.
Thanks for that tutorial Jonathan……I have one query though……I’m used to Autopilots turning at Rate 1…….but I notice that when you engaged Hdg or Nav it goes to 25 deg AOB……not a rate 1 turn for the speed you were doing which was around 105kts…….at that speed a rate 1 is about 17-18 deg AOB……..is this an anomaly in the sim or it’s like that for the real G1000?
Cheers
Your guess is as good as mine :) The early versions of the G1000 in the sim are not tremendously accurate. They have been getting better and better though.
In my case the 2 screens show both pfd’s instead 1 pfd and 1 mfd, do you know how to go back to the pfd at the left screen and the mfd to the right screen?
It depends on the aircraft. If both screens are present, they should default to PFD on the left.
@@jonbeckett thank you, problem solved
First: in General options/accessibility/ cockpit interaction system should be in LEGACY.
I had “display backup” pressed but if you select ENTER button after pfd is alive in the mfd screen, the mfd comes up normally
thankyou
Welcome
Great video. Disappointing that the G1000 Nav mode mode doesn't work if vastly different direction, and also doesn't control the throttle. Also, will it actually follow the glide slope automatically? Does the NXi give these features which then take it pretty close to an FMC. My real life flying was on steam gauges only with VOR and NDBs so I would have killed for this capability! Can the flightplan be produced on LittleNavMap, which I've just downloaded, and then autoloader into the G1000 by just loading the .PLN file?
The only route to pre-fill the G1000 is by using the menu to plan a flight when starting the simulator. You can load a flight plan that has been saved from LittleNavMap as a PLN. To be honest, NAV mode shouldn't really perform wonders - it's common across most navigation systems that you have to get them within a predetermined margin before "capture" will happen. Also - auto throttle is an entirely different system in most aircraft that have it :)
@@jonbeckett Thanks for the reply. So... No way to preload the G1000 from any flightplanner? :(
@@ColinDyckes I just explained how to do it - export from LittleNavMap as PLN file, load that into the World Map screen in the simulator, and then it appears within the G1000 at startup.
@@jonbeckett Sorry. I thought you were saying that the only way was to enter it manually into the G1000 (with the engine running).
i'm sorry but I have a stupid question here, when I tried to create flight plan with C172 G1000 manually and also input the ILS approach as well, the plan itself doesn't register to ATC which makes me fly without the guidance from ATC. do you know what caused that issue? any response would be appreciate.
Yep - programming it by hand won't send it to ATC :) That's a Flight Sim problem :)
Great video. After planning a route and switching to nav mode, the AP does not follow waypoints. I have to manually activate each leg. Is this normal? Thanks.
No - that is not normal. As you reach the end of each leg it should switch to the next automatically.
@@jonbeckett I have worked it out. I was messing with buttons on the Garmin. Once I left it alone it cracked on. Thanks.
What is the other map you keep switching to?
Nice video. Can you give me easy instruction for a beginner on how to get my hatswitch to go left view and right view and hold the view in the cockpit view? Works well in the external view, but is frozen in the cockpit view.
Not sure - I re-configured the hat switch to do trim :)
Ok. Thanks.
I don't understand what the "transition" is for. Presumably the departure track ends at BUELT so why can't you then just fly a path from BUELT to AVE? Why does there have to be a transition?
Pretty disappointing no matter how many hours I've tried to figure this system out it won't allow me to pick my destination through the g1000. Get LAS loaded up and it seems like it's gonna work. I press enter and it disappears. Then it won't allow me to try to pick my destination again. Go to restart flight and repeat all pre flight checklist and try to enter destination again and the same thing. I'm overly frustrated with it today so I'm done. I'll just pick my flight plan the boring way through the main menu.
You must be doing something very strange - it always works for me.
OK here's a weird issue. I don't have the ability to "push" any of the knobs on the G1000 I can push the buttons with my cursor. I can rotate the inner and outer knobs on the knobs, but cannot push the buttons to highlight selections. I don't get the little arrow cursor when hovering over the ends of the knobs. I usually download flight plans in using Little Navmap, but wanted to do it on the G1000. Very strange
Very odd ..
@@jonbeckett Well, I figured it out with the help of the internet. I had to go to General Options>Accessibility>User Interface and change the cockpit interaction system to "LEGACY"
Where did you get the page with all the airport info and procedures, etc, …
Do you mean "LittleNavMap" ? It's a free Windows application.
Is it possible to delete a flightplan in the Flight Plan Catalog?
I think it just shows recent simbrief generated flights
When i press the inner knob , i don't have any dialogue pop up
It's dependent on which page you have on-screen. Also, some aircraft have different versions of the G1000 installed.
I would love to follow your lead but as a complete noob, hearing, watching and actually doing it myself is quite a juggle. 😮😢
How did you get the large map at 19:18?
It's an application called Little Nav Map
When you were showing us the menu button etc and you couldn’t clear it or back out, I found that a long press of the clear button will let you out and back. 👍🏻
Long press of the clear button takes you back to the map in all Garmins.
I find the navigation systems extremely bugged and unpredictable.
I have no issues with it.
I am a little confused. This is a beginners guide. I am a beginner. Never done this before. So I think this is the tuturial for me. You lost me within a minute. How can you call this a beginner guide and immediately start using aviation terms without explaining them?
Beginner to aviation is a different story than beginner with the Garmin. I'll keep it in mind for a possible future video.
@@jonbeckett Your videos will take forever if you have to explain every "aviation" term you use in these videos. Well explained btw. 🙂👍 I am refreshing my FS experience after several years of not flying FS, and it really helps out. (after 40 yrs of avionics experience I have the time now to dig in 😁
The GPS takes time to align? That's crap. The GPS takes a while to acquire and lock on to satellites. They all do. They need at least three. Some need at least four (for a little better startup accuracy). The more satellites you have the more accuracy you have. I know because I have written GPS software. Also the Russian system GLONASS is much better than the American system GPS.
Came here to.see how to figure a flight plan like video says. He does not show you .
It shows you how to program a flight plan. Apologies that wasn't clear.
You said in video you weren't showing how to do it in the video so I stopped watching. Haha
Thanks for the informative video. I’m back in flight simulator after a few years and it’s nice learning again. What app did you use for the flight planning and can you export that directly into the G1000?
He's using little navmap. Yes, it can be exported into the MSFS flight planning menu

The app is called LittleNavMap - it's free - I have lots of videos explaining how it works :)
