- Definitive Autopilot Guide From THE Automation Experts
Giveaways, 250+ back catalogue episodes +more at www.flightchops.com
In this episode I’m intercutting the first ever time I filed #IFR in the RV-14, with the 16 hour in person #Garmin #avionics training course I attended a month later.
We're focussing on the GTN 750 navigator, G3X Touch PFD, and GFC 500 Digital Autopilot.
It’s ~26 minutes of action packed tips tricks and best practices for automation management.
See below for the “Table of Contents” if you want to skip to, or review particulate sections.
Garmin Training:

They have added the following two online courses since I visited last March.
GFC 500 = www.garmin.com/en-US/p/pn/AVN...
G3X Touch = www.garmin.com/en-US/p/pn/AVN...
Additionally, the team is putting together an in-person course dedicated specifically to G3X Touch in experimental aircraft.
What I attended was a mix between certified and experimental aircraft.

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
Visit www.FlightChops.com/ for behind-the-scenes content, epic giveaways and to search episodes by aircraft type!
Instructors like this are rare and gold.
Ad a non pilot senior citizen (gulp!), watching this particular video motivates me to get my ticket. Thanks for sharing. Total nerdy wonderfulness!
You can do it! - and glad you enjoyed this episode!
That is some SUPER IMPRESSIVE technology there! Garmin has some really sharp minds working behind the scenes! I'd have to take that class 3x before it all sunk in, lol. Thanks for taking us into the classroom, Steve. That was super interesting!
Matt was one of the guys teaching the class you were in. He was my old flight instructor for my initial ppl. Glad to see he’s still working at garmin and doing good.
Go mules!😎
As a CFII, I fly with people who have very nice avionics, but frequently no idea how to use the stuff. Always worth getting proper training. Manufacturers systems different and require you train to your systems capabilities.
Great video! I am a real-world pilot who is medically grounded but I do a lot of flight simulation now. I have the Garmin G1000, G3000, G5000, and Garmin 750 nxi in my simulator with physical real hardware interfaces. The videos that you have posted here have really helped me understand them better. I'm now able to program them and use them in the simulator just like their real-world counterparts. Thanks for posting these videos
Thanks for sharing a bit of your story, and glad you found this to be valuable content!
Steve, it's been a real treat to follow your growth in aviation over the years. I'm well behind in your wake, but getting better each day as well. Onwards and upwards! Thank you for another great video
Wow, thanks Perry!
It's amazing the capabilities of modern avionics. Some of the features aren't even on the latest airliners. Training like this really helps in focusing the mind of the most important tools and techniques and using them effectively. Thanks for sharing.
Couldn't agree more - and happy to share!
After watching your video, I completed the course this week at Garmin. Met some other great aviators and learned a bunch of great info. Thanks for highlighting this!
Great to hear! I hope you let them know I sentcha! 👊😎
I was heading towards a Garmin competitor for my -14 project. As I learned more about the capabilities of a Garmin platform, added to the avionics I've been used to in the last upteen-years, I'm in the Garmin camp now. Participated in Garmin's EAA webinar last week. Now, this video convinces me to attend one of Garmin's hands-on training classes. Looks like a LOT of meat-and-potato drills and info. Thanks for the presentation.
I really appreciate this feedback - it's hard to make this sort of content doing a deep dive while keeping it engaging and authentic - I'm glad you got value out of it!
Thank you for showing the clarification between activate approach and load approach!
Glad it was helpful!
As someone who isn't a pilot and is just getting into flight simulators, this was the single most useful training video I've seen, on using the Garmin devices. I always thought I should look for real world training videos rather than flightsim content. I got quite a lot out of this as I'm mostly using the GTN750 flying the Cessna 310 and 414 and the G1000 for the Skyhawk and most other props except those that are not equipped with glass panels.
Great video! I’m flying with the G3000 these days and I’m still learning cool little shortcuts and more ways to do things and seeing things that have always been there but disregarded. I’m always amazed at all the information Garmin has on the screen as well as seeing all the extra little goodies packed inside just waiting to be found and used. Again, great job on the editing and layout of this and most all your videos. Thank you
Love the video, I saw you at Oshkosh A couple years back, but felt too bad too say hi as it looked like a bunch of fans were using you as a puppet for photo ops. Thank you for the content tho its very much appreciated!
Haha - it’s all good - this community is largely awesome and I’m happy to be a part of it and help share flying stories to inspire people to start, try something new, or not quit… so the selfie puppet moments are all a part of the deal :)
I've always activated the approach but his explanation makes alot of sense. I'll just load it and go from there. Thx for posting.
This was awesome, I loved it! As an ifr pilot that flies glass (g1000, g700, g3x) occasionally, it was great to see more advanced topics discussed. Nailed it again Steve!
Thanks Bruce!
Garmin is a great company. Their customer service department has treated me very well (and no, I'm not affiliated with them in anyway, lol).
I am currently working on IFR. I have a 750 and your video definitely filled in several blanks. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Glad to help!
how to explain complex stuff in an easy way - great!
Nice Video, Your decision making is getting more comfortable with choosing vfr at certain points along your route . Your lunch has upgraded from beef jerky too.
all the best neal pgd cfi
I don't know if the rest of the avionics manufacturers do this kind of training but if not they should. Another reason to like Garmin. Selling you the products is one thing, but making sure you know how to not only operate it but get every little detail that might take you a lot of hours to learn in the cockpit. And that's not always the best place. Then to design each occupants work stations to there panel seems is over the top. Great instructor you had.
Thanks Pat! Glad to get some kudos from a professional like you.
Thanks for turning me on to features of my 750 that I was unaware of. And if you're ever going to KBTR (where I work the ramp), give me a ping a couple days prior.
As a VFR pilot with virtually no IFR training or experience, this one was a bit otherworldly for me. My flying world will be quite a bit different from yours and my equipment is simpler but I'll definitely be checking out Garmin's G3X training. So glad I went with Garmin for my aircraft.
For sure - Garmin all the way.
Love this. Super generous of Garmin also. Props to them too,
Great stuff! I have a G3X in my RV9A. It is such a great asset to keep learning about so many aspects of aviating, navigating and communicating! Blue skies!
Man these new glass cockpit systems are amazing.
Yup. I respect anyone that flew IFR before this, but I'm sure happy to be here now.
Excellent video content Steve - lot of editing nicely done. Seems like a fantastic course and sure is a lot to absorb! :).
Thanks Chris! Yes, this edit was a ton of work, but I got a lot of value out of reviewing it.
I think I'll be posting a 90 minute version of my "final selects" to Patreon for the supporters there.
Sending this to a bunch of students...G1000 based, but much translates with Garmin button-ology.
We just got a new Garmin G3X panel with autopilot in our Archer III and I'm so excited to get my introduction, once the weather clears. VFR only so far, but still looks like a fantastic system. This will help, thanks so much for sharing.
Great video. I liked your instructor ... good teacher.
That paint is gorgeous! Congrats!
Thank you! Evoke did an amazing job!
Fantastic Video Steve! Every time I watch one of your videos it inspires me to become a better pilot!
Thanks for the friendly feedback Marc
@@FlightChops Anytime! We’re always excited when a new @FlightChops video goes live! I’m currently rebuilding a good portion of the Citabria over the winter to have her fresh and ready for another season of float flying this summer!
Fantastic GARMIN virtual classroom. What an analogy from the course facilitator: Paratrooper not training to release equipment top ring causing accident.
I gained a basic appreciation of auto pilot interactive with the Garmin GPS with multiple layers of touch screens.
A predictive text recognition menu of waypoints (parallel adjustable) and altitude input.
🛩️📈
Great stuff. Thanks for sharing all these tips! 😄 Some of the e-learning courses are super reasonably priced. I'll have to check them out!
It's funny because just last week I kept getting Approaching VNAV Profile, not know what the heck it will do, where it will take me or what I need to do. Thanks for another good video!
👍
This definitely a must do for transitioning steam to glass. Excellent instruction...thx
Agreed. I'm glad to have had this training and will continue to do refreshers when able.
Looks like great training! I just added it to my aviation to-do list!
Awesome - and yes agreed - this was great for learning new things and building confidence.
Looks like a great video training program for all pilots
Great video! What a great course ! I need training on the G1000 nxi
Thanks for the great info (and THANKS to Garmin to allow a little sneak-peak of their class). When I go get my instrument rating, I will keep this class in mind to firm up my knowledge and get that muscle memory reinforced.
Happy to share, and yes, this sort of system specific training is awesome.
The example flight plan is pretty much exactly what I’ve flown from KATL to my home near KRIC, which goes right over my house.
That's cool.
Always something new
Great stuff!
Seems like Garmin is doing a really good job of teaching folks out there safe operation with very complex avionics.
I never got the point of "Activate approach". The Citation doesn't have it in the Proline 21 and I have never missed it :D
Would love to go to in person class like this.
Yes, it is definitely worth it!
love your videos, though not a real pilot, I am a sim pilot and love using the GTN 750 and 650, so love learning new things to enhance my virtual experience.
Fantastic training. Loved the video. Ciao, Marco.
Glad you enjoyed it Marco!
1:27 my goodness what a beautiful aircraft. ❤
Kinda cool seeing how similar the FPL features in the 750 are so similar to my fms in the E175. VNAV I still think is an amazing tech.
It's amazing to see the capabilities of the newer avionics in GA. An active B787 told me that some features are not available on his airliner.
I’m in class learning the E-jet right now. Thing is an unbelievable piece of technology.
Hi Steve,
That was a great video. The aircraft are getting so advanced you will need classes like this annually just to stay safe. It's great to have such instruments but it could overload a pilot; even to a point of forgetting to look outside the cockpit. I've seen new pilots just get fixated on the instruments and forget to fly the plane. I can remember a few utube videos with just that happening. It's a scary thought.
Take care,
Be safe.
Another well laid out video from @FlightChops. Almost like I was in the course myself. I may not be Flying … I am ground based and I use GARMIN exclusively.
I really appreciate that feedback - this was a very challenging edit - I'm glad you feel I got it right.
@@FlightChops always worth the wait. THANK YOU 🙏
This is marvelous.
Thanks Charles! I'm glad to share it!
Thanks for the video Steve. I was talked into going with a Garmin over the Dynon (even though I like their display better) mainly because of the autopilot and servos for it. Nice to know this class exists since I hope to not be the world's okayest pilot when my 8 is built. LOL
Haha - keep in touch through your build! I'd love to compare notes - I was sooooo close to going with an RV-8.
@@FlightChops Will do. It's fun and crazy so far!
I’ve flown with both the Dynon and Garmin autopilots…. I would never get the Dynon too much drag when off…. Garmin all the way.
@@FlightChops I'm sure you'll get the opportunity to fly mine. ;)
nice - thanks a bunch, this is really interesting
Glad you liked it - happy to share!
that is such a beautiful plane
That is why I never pursued an IFR rating, I had to read that last exercise 3 times before I understood what ATC was asking for!
Haha - yeah - but in fairness... a wacky complicated out of the blue clearance like that is super rare... In my (admittedly limited) IFR experience here's how it tends to go: I digitally file a flight plan ForeFlight, and almost instantly get a notification saying to expect the route "as filed". So when I get to the plane, I program the avionics as planned, call for my clearance, and I'm essentially reading back what I've already entered into the system.
you'd have to have a really good memory to fly, that, or have a co-pilot. Or disregard flying for a moment and hope that you are in AP, then start taking notes on your kneeboard. pilots are a different breed, they have a memory like an elephant with extreme retention and recall capability. It's pretty impressive how smart pilots are.
Its pretty cool to hear my home airport in video's
So I am really considering getting my private pilots license. I am setting up a flight sim to learn with and then will go start training. I see so much newer avionics it has me somewhat overwhelmed. My father was a pilot and flew both fix wing and helicopters. I spent most of my teen years flying with him somewhere. He got away from it when he started a business and I joined the Army (and all of the rest of life happened) So my last experience near the controls was much less advanced. I somewhat understand what is going on but seriously have my work cut out for me learning all this....but honestly I am excited to learn new stuff. My dad passed away this year and I put all this off to long. So in a way learning this seems to connect we to him even more....if that makes sense...... Thanks for the video..
I work in operations at CMH and as I was watching I was thinking the approach controller sounded familiar… turns out you were talking to them. Small world
For sure yeah - Aviation is a small world.
Worth the like just for the paint job
Pro tip, read through the manual front to back. No need to memorize it but that full read through will clarify the big picture operation and some definitions, and you will discover some other helpful details that you may have never thought to ask. Really it will take you above memorized button pushing and put you in control of the tool.
Then go get a simulator app or training class for some scenerio practice.
Nice video! Tons of used information
Glad it was helpful!
Great!
Wow, Steve! I am still flying a 1980 Dakota with a 430W and six pack. This would be so cool!
Yeah - it's crazy - I also did my initial IFR behind a 6 pack with a 430. I'm glad I learned that way, but flying behind this stuff is a whole other level.
Wow I didn't know Garmin offered this kind of training. Very cool. Haha I like the "anti activate approach activists".
Right?! I was very impressed with this training, and intend to go back as they are offering a G3X specific program now I think
My God this is epic!
Hahah - I'm glad you enjoyed it - I was afraid it was going to be hard to make this one engaging because of the nature of it being an episode about 16 hours in a classroom, but I'm pretty happy with how the edit came together.
Nice setup for the class. The apple makes it :)
Haha - yup - most of the B-Roll was shot over a lunch break. 🍎
Cliff hangar! Walk us through the last scenario
Thanks for watching to the end! :)
I’m just shutting down here and hitting the sack… I am pretty sure I included that whole scenario in the 90 min version that I shared with Patreon supporters - email and I will send you that unlisted link if you promise not to reshare. Flightchops at gmail dot com
Great video Steve Many thanks indeed for sharing. That last clearance is something that I would very much like you to share - part 2?? Always wondered what the best way to deal with clearances onto radials - especially from one onto another - is with glass.
Couple of ways to skin the cat there, but what is best practise......
I'm polishing up the 90 minute version for Patreon supporters which will include that - please consider jumping on that campaign for this sort of thing. If you really can't swing it, email me and I will send you the unlisted link when it is ready. flightchops at gmail dot com
@@FlightChops Sincerely appreciate the reply. Out in Zambia in Africa and have been under the pump for a few years Coming right slowly. I will def be on board once I convince the wife its money well spent and get my first world payment channels back on line
I have taken the GFC 500 and GTN online courses and they are excellent. I wish they had one for GI 275.
@flightchops I know you've had some expert help from Garmin in interpreting Flight Data Logs when investigating engine problems.
We don't have a G3X or GI 275 EIS (or a good buddy at Garmin!), just GI 275 ADI and HSI in our classic C-177B Cardinal.
But I've been able to learn all sorts of things by inspecting the Flight Data Logs on our GI 275. Everybody who has one should learn how to do that. I pull all our flight data logs into a Google Drive directory, and then when there's an interesting one, open it as a Google Sheet.
Delete the top row, freeze the top two rows and two left hand columns (the timestamps), select all the columns and set the column width to "fit data". You can drag the columns around to focus on a particular aspect of the flight.
Also load them to flyGarmin and/or CloudAhoy so you can correlate what phase of the flight you were in with the data.
Here's an example:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PCyF59abfuSfPE7GsnPnDFECrtRAXAFfAkV6QMJkYu8/edit?usp=sharing
Somedaaaaaaay I will be a pilot and I will own an airplane, and when that day comes I hope I will get to equip it with some of this gorgeous technology that Garmin actively develops. PPLs can get their hands on some vastly superior avionics to even the airlines these days, it's bonkers.
Me to unfortunately by that time come I’ll need to refinance my home with the prices of these instruments
I would never change Honeywell A320 FMGS to this. It's far more capable than this, only the presentation on classic MCDU is a bit limited. I'm lucky I got away from Garmin G1000 environment to real aircraft and real FMS.
nice job teaching, for my turbo glasair r/g I have purchased
1) G5
2) G3x
1) 750xi
1) 500 a/p
1) R- comm
1) 345 adsb
1) xm weather system
All engine stuff
I also need this class, previously Boeing and Scair buss FMC and Glass B-737 757 767 A300 Around the big ball
As an avid MSFS2020 user, especially in the "Drop Bear" L-39, RV-14 and the Carbon Cub (I'm actually flying from Greenland to Newfoundland in Drop Bear as I type this.), I think I can use these lessons too!
Very cool! How are you finding the back end / brains of the GTN in the sim? is there also a good functioning G3X?
@@FlightChops I honestly have really enjoyed it.
I have completely taught myself so far, both demonstrating how well it was modeled by the team at Asobo and how well it was designed by the teams at Garmin. The G3X is quite usable, though I do most of everything on the main G1000 unit.
Some of the "Direct-To" and other flight plan lessons specifically outlined here have been directly put into practice by me on my flight around the world in the L-39 (going the wrong way, west, and fighting all those headwinds!) literally 10 minutes ago from the time of this post.
How are you liking the L-39 I wanted to start playing with it?
@@justinc5356 I absolutely love it. "Drop Bear" is the most functional (longest range and still very fast) one, if you don't buy the pack. The racing expansion is a lot of fun though.
...Hi again Steve,
Another thought lol.
It would be interesting to see just a camera view of the class to see how much time passes before someone looks up...These systems could be very helpful but also very dangerous. You will need to train your brain to scan frequently. That looked like a great class set up.
Take care,
Be safe
In the context of this classroom, there was a lot of looking up, but it wasn’t for traffic scans, it was more to ask someone “did I get this right?” 🥸.
But in all seriousness, this sort of training, (and flying) assumes you’re in the soup with nothing to see outside. When you’re in VMC conditions, you’re absolutely going to want to be scanning for traffic, even if on an IFR flight plan. And truthfully, when this stuff is set up correctly, it requires a lot less attention than a 6 pack instrument scan.
It's great that Garmin sees the need for the class. The plane really looks great.
Take care,
Be safe.
Very informative video. Loved the added instruction depth through your video editing. I found one small incorrect statement at 8:20. Did anyone else catch it?
Thanks Paul - now I have to go back and figure out what we missed :P
@@FlightChops Haha. Not trying to be cryptic or flippant. I took the theme of the video as being knowledgeable AND skeptical at the same time as errors creep into complex automation systems. I’m just playing along. :)
All good - your feedback and insights are appreciated...
My lack of experience has me looking and not finding the issue though.
- will see if anyone one else can catch it.
@@FlightChops Its a Q route or an RNAV base route, not a Victor airway.
It was a departure, not an arrival, but he said it correctly a few moments later.
This makes me so happy I started my career in a Beech 1900. No GPS, AP. Your brain was the VNAV! It kind of makes me sad seeing AP in single engine airplanes 🤷🏻♂️. IFR flying is just learning how to program a computer. It’s all good. Technology makes us safer……..usually…..
I hear what you're saying, but the RV-14 is such a zippy little fun thing for aerobatic flying, it really isn't a good time hand flying for cross country.
And having this level of tech for IFR makes it very capable when in the hands of a well / specifically trained pilot - which is why I appreciate that this course exists :)
First you say you are sad. Then you say its all good. So, which is it?
@@Heyemeyohsts Just tryn not to be a grumpy old man and embracing Technology! I still rather see professional aviators not have too much tech an APs for their first 1000 hours! Trust me you can tell the difference fm new pilots at an airline when they came from AP 172s!
@@jamesbruzgis9476 I see what you mean now. You were trying to please everyone and it came across as confusing. I think you should say would you really think and lay it on thick. We can handle it
Drop the ruck, drop the weapon! Got it, but how do I vnav?
Do you need some sort of film sun/filter over the top of your canopy?
I've since installed a sun shade that helps a fair bit. But I don't use it when flying aerobatics.
(see previous episode addressing that)
For IFR flying the sun shade does help a fair bit with filming the panel. (either way from the vantage point of my eyes the glare/finger prints on the panel are not an issue - that said, I intend to clean it more often going forward :)
Thanks for the video. I am currently configuring my aircraft options, and I need help regarding communication model the GTR 200 or GTR 225B. Which one to for? I see price for GTR225 is realy at premium level and I am flying only VFR. I an not sure if I need this high end model.
Hey there - I'm not super familiar with the differences. But the 255 that I have is good for VOR navigation, and shooting ILS approaches.
TLA+ everywhere - damn! Very cool tech, but sensory over load. :)
Wow...
So if I purchased these instruments what is the cost to have someone teach me the correct way so I don’t die
I've several times asked Garmin how to make the GTN650 VNAV default to be off, not on. No answer from them PITA. And the APR button is poorly documented -- all it says is Activate Approach Mode.
VNAV can be disabled from the install settings menu.
Where in Alabama did you have your airplane painted? Who did it?
Evoke. I'll be sharing an episode all about that in the summer.
We touched on it in a recent episode (about an emergency I had) - see it here:
czcams.com/video/SgscuJwtbVY/video.html
How can I set up for that class, I have G3X and GTN750NXI
I think I put the links in the description to sign up - I'm not in a position to confirm at the moment.
Steve, flying with all those cool glass panels providing tons of information, but I can’t help but think that stick and rudder skills are being lost as everybody concentrates on all the visual’s that glass gives..
I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, I fly A LOT of different things to keep my stick and rudder chops sharp. When I'm flying IFR cross country, I want as much technology as possible working for me, and I want to understand how best to leverage it.
And in the case of the RV-14, it's a very nimble and responsive airplane, which is a ton of fun to fly aerobatics, but hand flying it on instruments is not a good time. Regardless, I still need to be able to land a tail dragger when I kick off the auto pilot after flying an approach :)
Are all 16 hours of this course on your Patreon? 😁
Haha - no. But I have a 90 minute version that I'm likely going to share there - it is very tight with all the best bits I used to cut down for this episode.
Seriously, we're nearing the age when planes are completely self-flying.
Tell the avionics which airfield to land at, it will get weather reports to figure out which runway is active, and it will setup its own approach.
ATC, using the transponder code, will be able to input changes in the event a pilot is incapacitated.
The future is coming.
Why did the prop need service with so little time on it?
It was a service bulletin.
where was this training at ?
It's at Garmin headquarters in Kansas, but they also offer online options - see description for details.
@@FlightChops nice.. I love the SIM setup they use to train... wicked !
How come your prop needs servicing already?
It was a bulletin.
Captions at 12:04 😆
What if you have a G3X and a peasant navigator, will they still allow you in the building? Watching this hurts my poor 530's feelings hahaha
This course was a combo GTN / G3X... but they definitely have more and more specific courses to cater to specific configurations and set ups - there is more info an a link in the description.
@@FlightChops Right on. Very cool video, learned a few helpful things from it! Appreciate it as always!
Always… ALWAYS… check and touch the autopilot circuit breaker. During preflight and pre take off checks… You don’t want automation to kill you.
I check all circuit breakers during preflight, but not pre take off - can you clarify what you think that would add? I have a hard switch on the panel for the AP (as well as the red disconnect button on the stick) - so my main priority is to know I can disable the AP quickly if it ever did something weird. I'd use the panel switch before fumbling for a circuit breaker)
@@FlightChops just checking the circuited breakers in, isn’t the problem.
The problem occurs when the auto pilot takes over and tries to kill you, say on an approach…
Then you should know exactly which breaker cuts it off the auto pilot without even thinking.
I warned about this issue, and sure enough, a student pilot crashed in California, with what he was calling a runaway trim on the radio. Advanced planes can kill when they take over.
Where was the training at ?
Garmin headquarters (and there are also online options) details and links in description.
A pretty tight cut?
It was 6:55 into the video before anyone talked about using the avionics.
Lots of filler in most CZcams videos.
Uh huh.
Then it was 20 mins of a tight cut using the avionics.
Channels like this don't exist with out establishing a relationship with the community so that the channel can... exist.
What you're describing as "filler" is the part of CZcams that makes content creation possible - the irony that you expect free to view content to just be there for you - who do you expect to make it?
flying with steam so I will have to comeback when I upgrade
Yeah - I started with steam as well - this is a whole other planet.
It is awesome.
Well I did see the Army trading in him.
Too many buttons. I haven't worked through the TV remote yet.
"Unable"
Yes; This is the only answer to that last clearance :)
