What an absolute privilege to sit with you as you fly this approach. Thank you.

Super Super. Very clearly presented. For us, virtual pilots it is an invaluable help. Thank you very much !!!

Hello captain, like all the previous comments i can't thank you enough for all this precious information you are sharing about flying an RNP approach on an ATR. Simple, effective and precise. 🙏

After watching this video a few times I made a short LIMJ - LIPE flight with RNP approach for 30 and I found all the functions indicated by Captain Magnar.
Thank you

Great to see how it actually looks in the aircraft. Even greater to get all the sounds so clearly. I know it's not the point of your videos to entertain the flightsim community. But it sure is appreciated. Thank you! edit: congrats to PF for the butter smooth landing. exemplary and to the point. well done again.

Thanks for this video. It made me realize how much capability I have not been using in MSFS. Keep doing these. Love them.

Was in ATC for 47 years - still fascinated by aviation - love your vlogs - thanks for posting

That was excellent. Everything explained so well & great visuals. Thank you

Good morning sir.

An Atpl student here. This is a really well made video, everything possible has been explained with no confusion. I can see you’re an instructor! Thanks and greetings
Lorenzo 😊

Thanks for explaining the DH/MDA switch. At my recent recurrent training, a captain asked why we always use MDA even when flying an ILS. (We're not authorized for CAT II/III.) Nobody knew the answer, but yours makes sense.
I speculated it was because of the "5G might interfere with radio altimeter" NOTAMs at every airport in the USA.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I was based on Gan island for about 2 and a half years. Good to see it again.

Thanks for this very clear video, the animation of the screens is great!

Fantastic Job🎉! Thank you, sir! You clearly performed a perfect instrument procedure landing!

[humlakullen]

Another superb instructional video. Thanks!

found out about this channel thanks to the new ATR in MSFS2020, great learning channel

[daviddanser]

Oh the trim actually makes that noice, thought it was some sort of MSFS error.
Great video, very informative

That approach speed is much lower than I expected.

Magnar, thank you very much for these videos! 🙏

I flew the ATR-42s for a year as Capt (no FO time at all) back in the mid 90s. So no VNAV of course. If we wanted to do a non-precision approach, it was "dive and drive". I became fully acquainted with VNAV in the NG737s. Cleared for approach with the lower altitude dialed in, VAV would start us down at the TOD, or we could "descend now".
In the current MFS ATR, I can't seem to figure out the VNAV. For the approach, I put in roughly field elevation as I did on the 737. I don't get "VNAV-PATH", I get "ALT*", I don't know what that means. The TOD circle keeps moving back towards the airport, the aircraft doesn't start down. I was able to get an approach where it started down, with the magenta rectangle crudely showing a path that the airplane A/P couldn't track. Hand flying it, I never would have made it in IFR conditions. What am I not understanding here? Where is the precise instruction on how to set up and fly an approach in LNAV/VNAV?
Don't mistake me, I'm having loads of fun getting to fly the ATR again! I just want to be better at it.

good job as an example for co-pilots to use aircraft equipment properly for RNP approach

You da man very cool to see this real life thank you!
