MSFS - SDF Approach Tutorial (AH IFR flight lesson #13)

Hello flight simmers, and welcome back to Alpha Hotel Flight Simulator Training.

In this video we'll take a look at rarest approach in the world - the Simplified Directional Facility (SDF) approach. We'll talk about what it is, how it works, and how to fly it. We'll then demonstrate the only one of these approaches that is still operational in the United States in the G1000 equipped Cessna 172.

I am glad I used the 172 with the G1000 as there was a whole lot going on! Next I will try it with a 6 pack, but I may suffer from some serious overload 🙂 Excellent videos, as always.

Awsome video i've watched it twice, it has a lot in it, very interesting to know about this rarest approach, always thankful for the magnificent contents in the channel.

Wow, that was really good! I have never heard of DDA before. Why did you add 50' to the MDA?

Just wandering…..any reason why you are not using App mode on the AP? I know there is no GS and this is basically a Localiser but out of habit could you use App mode……unless there is some reason not to?
