Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Learn five of the most common functions of the Garmin GNS430 GPS unit using X-Plane 11. Make the most out of your flight simulator experience or use the flight simulator to practice as a student pilot or beyond. Note that while the features of this unit in X-Plane closely mimic those of the real unit, there are some differences. This tutorial should be used for X-Plane purposes only. However, gaining a familiarity with this system will likely aid in your transition to units in the airplane.
In this video you will learn how to do the following on the X-Plane GNS430GPS unit:
1. Tune the Com/Nav radio frequencies
2. View a moving map of the area
3. Navigate to an airport using the airport code
4. Look up airport information like runway numbers and length
5. Find and navigate to the nearest airports to your position

Very nicely presented. This is way more fun than me fumbling through the G1000 🎉
You should be a teacher. Your presentations are the best. Thanks
Thanks Michael! It’s my goal to be helpful - thanks for watching!
I just got X PLane 11 recently, and this video helped a ton. The fact that you just happened to be flying near Chattanooga made it even better!
Excellent - I’m so glad you found it helpful. And I will indeed be aware of the Quemens! (What am I looking for?)
Exellent presentation skills. Simple explanation, clear and concise. This is how all tutorials videos should be. Thanks.
Thanks for watching, David!
Amen, wonderful tutorial. Thanks...
Absolutely fantastic video. I have just bought X-Plane 11 and watched a few tutorials about navigation, but none of them had the Garmin GNS430 in them (I think they were a few years old, hell they may even have been FSX). So When I went to the runway and saw the Garmin GNS430 I was absolutely baffled. Punched a few buttons at random but really didn't have a clue what I was doing. Many thanks for demystifying the unit - I feel confident about playing with it now to figure out all the different functions. Good work mate.
Thanks for the kind words, David! Best of luck
Thanks for making just what I was looking for! I've been simming for uh... about a week with X-Plane 10 and your autopilot video that led me here instantly allowed me to have level flight so I could actually do some learning worry-free. It appears the amount one could know it almost infinite so, this looks like the perfect place to be. Thanks again for your fabulous, clear and helpful vids.
Thanks, looseparts! Glad to have you along!
THX. Simple and clear tutorial explanation for the X-Plane11 GNS430
Thanks Rene!
I recently bought into a 182 with a 430. Clay thank you for this video, it has helped out a ton!
Congrats on your purchase, Jeremy!
Thank you, looking forward to more videos
Great tutorial. Well-presented with clear commentary. Very helpful! Thanks! Subbed!
Thanks VibeXplorer! Welcome aboard!
Really needed this video to get past the intimidation of the tech.
So glad this could help, Peter, and thanks for subscribing!
what a great tutorial on the garmin
Thanks, Joe!
where is the auto pilot button on the Cessna 172 Skyhawk? You have a great video explaining this stuff.
Excellent thanks.
Thanks for watching, Daren!
I have found your blogs and videos very helpful to my growth as a pilot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Tywan Carson I'm so glad you are finding them helpful. Keep at it with the flying and enjoy it!
Mr, you save my morning, hahaha I have been trying to find all this info in a visual way, because the manual are at the end, to much info just for beginners as myself. Thanks a lot, greetings from Spain.
Thanks Joe - so glad it could be helpful. Greetings from Georgia!
Thanks so much. I’ve been struggling with the G530, this was really helpfully.
Thanks, lalawyer11!
Hey thanks for this breakdown, hard to really learn this system in flight.
Thanks, James. I’m a huge fan of using all available resources on the ground. The airplane is an expensive classroom!
Awesome tutorial! I'm a newbie to XP11 and this (and your other tutorials) are so easy to follow.
Thanks, Rass. I feel that although aviation can get complicated, taking steps to start enjoying it shouldn’t be.
Awesome tutorial man, thanks.
Thanks Jean! The follow up video with the flight plan feature will be released later this week.
Man great video! You make it easy to understand.
clayviation Hi Clay, I can’t find the followup video, what is it called? Thanks!
the most informative Garmin 430 video i have watched. well done!
Ricky Zafra thanks for watching and I'm glad you found it informative!
Thanks sir!
Absolutely, blucbr!
I may be super late, but how do I find proper tower, ATIS, ground, etc frequencies. I used the actual channels that are at my home airport where I’m training but I got nothing. Is there maybe something I’m missing?
-amazing video I’m the type to tinker with stuff until I figure it out. This GPS was not one of them! Appreciate the content (although viewing 4 years later)
thanks man!!, Im gonna go fly right now with the 430 :)
Sweet! Have a great time!
superb, just what I needed - many thanks
Excellent - glad it was helpful, Ian!
Really nice man, hope to get this to work on my next flight ;) Thnx
Thanks, Chris!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and btw I just subscribed. Thanks again.
Thanks, Steve!
Tip...I use a hotkey to open larger 430 screen. Also the mouse wheel will scroll thru the com1 three digit frequencies quicker. I just hover over one side of dial and move mouse wheel forwards and back. Takes forever if you just click. Thanks for the videos.
SOOO helpful.. thx 👊🏾
Great video! Thanks for this helpful tutorial.
Thanks, SimAviation!
Love this video your the best!
Thanks, geiadude!
Spot on! Subscribed!!!
Thanks, Steven!
Great video. As a new sim pilot it’s difficult to get the most direct and pertinent information, but you definitely nailed it. Am wondering is there any thing on the GTN650?
Thanks, Willie. I haven’t explored the 650.
Nice video
Great Tutorial Man!! Just what I needed!
Awesome - thanks Andy! Glad it could help you out.
Great Video
Thanks, Chester!
Great help for beginners
Thanks Sonia!
Excellent vid! Tons of help. Many thanks. :-)
Many thanks for watching, Rich!
Thanks Clay, good video.
Thanks byteman21!
thank you for posting this!
Thanks for watching, Jay!
Great Video!
Thanks, webproman!
Hi Clay! Great tutorial! And I'm not saying that just because your name is Clay! LOL. I was wondering, at the beginning of your video, you mentioned the ATIS frequency. Can you find the ATIS frequency in X-Plane 11 or do you have to find those frequencies from an outside source?
Hey, other Clay! Thanks for watching and flying along! I’m not aware of anywhere in the sim that provides that info. I use my Foreflight subscription for most of my info, but you can get it through sites like fltpln.com, airnav.com and skyvector.com.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks and good luck with the channel.
Ludo523 thanks and I'm glad it helped you out. I'll keep them rolling. Look out for a new one every Sunday.
Great info, well presented! Thanks!
Thanks Richard!
Hi Clay, really enjoy your videos. I have x plane 11 and everything was going fine. The 430 just didn't come on the last two times i fired up. As well, I'm un able to to Customize the weather. Just wondering if you could help me with this. Thank you for your time.
Hi dee, thanks for watching. It’s hard to say what could be wrong. For this sort of thing, I highly recommend one of the many Facebook X-Plane groups. There are lots of people smarter than me who can usually help with this sort of thing. Sometimes it’s a hidden setting that needs to be found.
Excellent video, thank you!
Rick Lauter thanks for watching!
Thank you so much, this helped me a LOT sir! :)
Goju Five thanks for watching and I'm so glad it helped! Let me know if there are any other conundrums you'd like me to explore.
I am new to X-Plane and I wonder if you could point me in the right direction. Im looking to purchase a 182 with garmin 430, essentially the same as you have in this video, because I’m working on my instrument training and that is the actual plane that I fly with and I would like to have the same setup in X-Plane if possible, - Thank you in advance for your time,
it is an awesome tutorial. Do you have a video that shows how to connect the Auto pilot to the Garmin 430? Is it the nav gps button?
It would be nice to see this done with the newer s-tek like auto pilot in v11.30 and forward as it operates radically differently then the 430 (Its mode based ratehr then button activated for example and CWS is not standard)
Great suggestion, P!
Thank you!!!
Your welcome Bobby!
Thank you very useful, how to hold over a fix, is there an option to hold over a fix?
I can’t say that I’ve explored holds with this.
Superbe vidéo à quand une traduction française sinon bravo
I know your video doesn't cover this particular page, but does your X Plane GNS430/530 show anything in the Airport Frequency Page? Mine is blank. It seems like I've seen airport frequencies (ATIS, Ground, Tower, etc) populated on other X Plane videos but my airport frequencies page is blank (fresh X Plane 11 installation two weeks ago.) Any help appreciated!
+Thanks Clay...very helpful:) What's the BRG stand for on the default NAV page?
Absolutely! That stands for bearing.
Great presentation - I'm new to X-Plane, how do you get ATIS audio activated? I turned up all audio in settings but hear nothing. Is ATIS a plugin for X-Plane?
Thanks, Mark. The easiest way to get ATIS going is to tune it in to the local ATIS frequency. You’ll need to look that up on a sectional chart like ForeFlight or SkyVector (free). Another approach to the ATC system can be found here:

Hi :) Thanks for great tutorial. May I ask you where did you get this version of C172? I like it more than the original one with both garmin 530/430.
Petr, I got this one from Airfoillabs. It’s a great airplane.
Which aircraft in X-plane 11 is this? The C172 I have does have a 530 and 430 stacked. Not the single 430.
Good video - Can I place the GPS on second monitor?
Hi Earl - I don’t personally have any experience using a second monitor. Maybe someone else here does...
I have a realsim 430 and want it as my primary GPS in a c172. The c172 that comes with xplane11 has a 530 as 1 connected to the Nav 1 vor/loc. How do I get a 172 with just 1 430 as primary like your setup.
This is the Airfoillabs Cessna 172. Great airplane.
Knee jerk question after watching the video. If I'm flying VFR and I want to fly to a check-in point to let the tower know where I am and my intentions, can that be done by entering letters or would I need to find the Lat/Long and enter it that way?
Hey Lawson! I’ve never actually entered lat/lon for a fix. GPS databases have a plethora of useful waypoints in the database. Thanks for watching!
@@clayviation I think I figured it out. It's been a while since I've flown and when I was flying I never had the opportunity to use items like a modern GPS. ANYway, the pennants you see on a VFR terminal area chart have an underlined name adjacent to them. After reviewing one of these charts it seems to me that the underlined text is what would be entered into the GPS as a way point so one can fly to that location prior to contacting the tower to report location and intentions.
Ah, now I understand what you were asking, and yes, great job discovering that! You would enter the five character identifier under the VFR checkpoint in your gps to help navigate to it. You would refer to it’s name “(not the code) to ATC when referring to it. Great work!
Does anyone knows, how to turn of the dialog (just the text) from atc or atis?
Thanks!
Using the GPS with VLOC selected??????? From time 00:00 untill 15:44? Can you explain that? Where do you think you were navigating to?
And it's not necessary to delete the first waypoint. You just have to put the cursor over the new one, open "MENU" and "ACTIVATE LEG".
Hi Pedro - that’s a great observation. The vloc and gps key toggles what your course deviation indicator is pulling data from. In VLOC mode, your radio VOR information is being shown on the CDI, and in GPS mode, your GPS data is being displayed. For the purposes of exploring the functions of the gps unit in this discussion, the CDI was really behind the scope of the discussion.
On the Garmin GNS430 I can't get the the autopilot to follow the flight plan. The first issue I have is when I set the CDI to GPS and Nav on the autopilot, the GNS430 stays on "Term" mode and never switches to "ENR". I've used the GNS430 on other airplanes that I fly with X-Plane 11 and never have any issues. HELP and can't get Airfoils to respond. Thanks.
Maybe someone here has had the same problem. I can’t think off the top of my head what could cause that. There are a few nuances of the sim tech that differs from the real thing - I wonder if that is why you are experiencing a difference.
What airplane are you using and we're can I download it
This is the Airfoillabs Cessna 172. You can get it here:
www.airfoillabs.com/x-plane-c172sp
what does the msg button do ???
That’s the message key. It’ll pop up with alerts like “inside airspace” and “set course to 360” when using GPS navigation.
Thanks for the video. I wish all the youtubers of XP 11 would turn down the dumb looking, unrealistic XP 11 reflections on the flight deck instrument glass. I guess Laminar wants to ruin everyones eyes. No offense to you.
Thanks for that feedback, David. I hadn’t thought much about it, but I’ll reflect on that.
See what I did there?
How do you do that?
Good information, but why do you smack your lips so often?
Because aviation is just so tasty.
