ilovecornfields Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Asking for a friend...does the legacy G1000 offer a visual approach option like on the GTN 750/650 or is it just the G1000Nxi that has this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exM20K Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Not that I’m aware of. I do have the most recent software, I believe. Will try to update this post with software version number later this weekend. -dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulM Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Only the Nxi... you can spin the OBS to give yourself LNAV, but I don't believe that D-> with an altitude of the field will give you a vnav. You have to turn on the runway extension markers on the map, and spin the OBS until they match to get an exact final. loading the RNAV approach is of limited use unless you are straight in, since the +V won't arm unless you approach outside of the FAF. If there is an ILS I will load that instead to have the LOC+GS as backup no matter how close a pattern I fly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C. Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 If you have SVT on the G1000 you can (try to) keep the velocity vector at -3deg and simultaneously overlapping the approach end of the runway Kidding aside, I try/practice that periodically and unless you have a perfectly smooth day it's harder than it sounds.
