I'm pleased to see this release fixed the horrible way Pilot dealt with SUA. I was one of those who reported it so it was something I was looking for. I think it could still use a tweak, but it's much better than it was before.

Like most things, there are degrees.

Good starting point. And there is a lot of commonality, even across makes and models, for things like target airspeeds on an instrument approach But doesn’t everyone go up at least once in a new-to-them airplane to chart their own Pitch-Power-Config charts?

Yes. The key is the user prompt. The less it needs to interpret what you want, the better job it can do. And it’s not a one-shot deal. Tweaking takes place. My single biggest tip: treat it like a human assistant or service vendor in terms of how you ask and explain things. It can be a difficult conceptual hurdle, but it can pay big dividends in the results Not a spreadsheet, but an AI example from yesterday. I use MyFlightBook for my logbook. I do the donation that gets my MFB data automatically uploaded to a cloud account daily as backup. Since even for a worst-case scenario, I can’t imagine needed to keep more than a few weeks worth, I’ve been going into my Google Drive periodically to delete old ones. I haven done that regularly, so there can be several months to clean up. Google Apps uses an offshoot of JavaScript, “AppScript” (how original!), for coding. So, I thought, why not a script that runs weekly and deletes all the files in the MFB backup folder that are more than 30 days old. It been ages since I’ve hand-coded, so I gave AI a try. We went through a few iterations, some based on changes I wanted; others on suggestions AI made (including automating the script, something I didn’t even know I could do). The script looks good and “seems” to work, but we’ll see how it goes.

AI has multiple uses. In its “public search for information” mode, I really see it as nothing more than the natural extension of internet search capability. No need to be hostile. But you do need to verify.

If the protection allows printing, so far I haven’t seen one that I haven’t been able to “unlock” by “printing” it to a new file.

Not necessarily that guy, but I'm addicted to knot reels. Once beyond the standards, some of them are so creative in a way my brain simply does not work.

The Insta360s - both cameras and editing software - do a great job of stabilization

I agree with @Schllc. This seems odd. The number should be the maximum usable fuel capacity, not some oddball number the owner makes up. Do you have some STC that raised the total capacity to 192 gallons? There is some fuel calibration capability in the configuration pages accessible by holding down the ENT key when applying power to the PFD, but I don't think total POH fuel capacity is one of them. Edit: I located the setting on the configuration side on the "Airframe Configuration" page on one of the G1000 trainers I have. It was not selectable.

That's seems odd. AFAIK the RST FUEL should give you the maximum capacity per the POH, not some number the owner makes up. Do you have tanks which hold 192 gallons? I know there's a fuel recalibration routine in configuration mode (hold ENT button while first applying power to the PFD), but I think that changing the POH fuel quantity might be somewhere else on the maintenance side.

Thanks for filling out the history. I wonder whether the lack of airways originally was in some ways related to the similarity in the flight plan functionality to the existing GNS 430/530, which never incorporated that capability. And yes, it has nothing to do with WAAS. A flying club I’m with has an older DA40 non-WAAS G1000 with a KAP140. Victor Airways and T-Routes load just fine.

The sequence is, after you enter the entry waypoint, scroll down to the next entry where you would put in the next waypoint. Tap MENU and you should see what's in the photo I posted - don't forget to scroll down in the menu. That will work with both the full flight plan on the MFD and the mini flight plan on the PFD. I don't know exactly what you have, but I can't imagine yours doesn't have this capability, which pre-dates WAAS.

I just double-checked. If you have the functionality, it will be available in the mini FPL in the PFD also. (I had to check since I almost always use the mFD for flight planning, but that's just me.)

I edited my post to include the steps. Aside from that, the flight plan on the MFD is generally more feature-rich than the mini box on the PFD.

Lance showed you where it’s located in the flight plan menu. Go to the flight plan. Cursor to a waypoint in the airway. Tap MENU and see if airways is an item in the list. Apparently, there are some early G1000 installs which didn’t, but I’m pretty sure all the ones I have flown in the past 15 years or so do airways.
