Learn how to use VORs with the G1000 glass cockpit in this real-world IFR flight over Sedona, Arizona. Whether you're an instrument student or an experienced pilot, understanding how to incorporate ground-based navigation into your GPS workflow is essential for situational awareness and backup navigation.
In this video, you'll see step-by-step how to:
✅ Find and tune the nearest VOR station using the G1000 MFD
✅ Display bearing pointers and DME distance on the PFD
✅ Switch CDI from GPS to NAV1 and track radials with raw data
✅ Use the autopilot to intercept and fly inbound to a VOR
✅ Visualize radial intercepts and understand reciprocal courses
Using the Flagstaff VOR (FLG), we demonstrate how to navigate precisely using traditional navaids with modern avionics.
