SF50 Garmin G3000 VNAV Technique

The Garmin Perspective Touch avionics platform is feature-rich and highly capable. Will show you how VNAV Vertical Navigation is set up…

Thank you for watching and supporting the channel! I appreciate it very much.

Several viewers asked me to demonstrate how vertical navigation profiles and ATC crossing restrictions are entered in the Garmin Perspective Touch avionics system.

A crossing restriction occurs when ATC tells an aircraft to cross a specific point on the earth at a specific altitude. The point of the restriction can be over a specific waypoint or fix or navigational aide, or a specific distance before or after that fix. It is always associated with a crossing altitude. Normally, an aircraft has to descent at a specific time and at a vertical speed in order to make the restriction. It can involve calculations and complicated speed, distance and time calculations. It can be stress inducing, which can be made easy with a capable avionics system and attention to set up details.

This is an example of what a pilot might receive during a flight. Special thanks to Terry T for asking to see how this works in the SF50 Vision Jet.

ATC: "N379JM Cross 25 miles east of the Belcher (EIC) VOR at 11 - eleven thousand feet. Shreveport Altimeter is 30.42."
N379JM: "Cross 25 miles east of the Belcher VOR at 11 - eleven thousand feet, 30.42"

The Three "B" VNAV Technique is used to set up and verify the crossing restriction has been set up correctly.
1) Build the VNAV Profile (in flight plan)
Select the Fix, select the distance before or after the fix and the crossing restriction altitude.
2) Bug It (change altitude selector)
Change altitude selector to the crossing restriction altitude
3) Button It (press VNAV button)
Thanks for watching!

Great tutorial, important to point out to people that VNAV will not go below the bugged altitude on the PFD. Most people don’t seem to understand that the pilot needs to bug the altitude on the PFD to at least BOD altitude.

Thanks for the tutorial - much appreciated

It's always amazing what modern glass cockpits in even the smallest single can do these days that just a few years ago was only possible in the big boys.

Thank you for an excellent tutorial. Slowing the video playback when you demonstrated the button pushing was a terrific technique. If you can edit this video my one suggestion would be to add in a verbal comment when you bug the altitude preselect for the 11, 000 foot crossing altitude. The camera was turned to focus on the altitude preselect and it could be seen scrolling down to 11, 000 feet but there was no verbal commentary explaining what you were doing. At the end the video had the Inset of the three steps in creating a VNAV - 1. Build it, 2. Bug it, and 3. Button it but the bug it step was not spoken of only shown in the video. Again, super video, great video work, thank you.
