Hello flight simmers, and welcome back to Alpha Hotel Flight Simulator Training.
In this video we'll be discussing the basics of flying RNAV (GPS) approaches. These are the most common type of instrument approach you can find in the world now - and with some of the advanced avionics upgrades that have been developed for MSFS, it's never been more realistic (or easier) to learn to fly these approaches.
In this video we'll talk about the different types of RNAV (GPS) approaches, how to fly them, and what GPS equipment you can use in MSFS to utilize them.
This video is part 1 in a multipart series. In the videos that follow, we'll demonstrate flying some of the different types of RNAV (GPS) approaches with some of the different GPS equipment you can use to fly them in MSFS.
