FS2020 Tutorial - VOR Approach

In this video, we fly the other non-precision approach, the VOR directly into KHFD with the Textron Bonanza.

I am glad I found this channel. Manchester saying Hi. Thanks for the info.

Nice vid, Explained well, I disagree with the speed comments, great for refresher before a ride. Vid can be slowed down if too fast 0.75

Great video. That one made sense until you started messing with your procedure turn. Picked you back up when you headed back to the airport. Thanks for doing these!!

You can position your plane with slew mode :) Just press Y then A or F1 to descend. Thanks for these videos. Learning a lot.

Would be nice if you loaded the approach into the G1000 instead of just flying it by hand. I really want to see how the Garmin sequences a VOR approach.

Very informative video. Thank you for doing these great tutorials. There very helpful.

Dont want to sound grumpy so trying to make sure this is a constructive comment. I have literally following each of these videos one by one like they would be a flying course. The reason most of the first 25 were so helpful in learning is that i was able to replicate what was being done almost identically. In this case i have no idea if i can understand what has been shown because it was just being shown. I dont know how to replicate this when the flight start at 8, 600 feet near Rambo. I would love if all the videos would be taking off from somewhere, flying and landing elsewhere, etc... in a way that i can replicate what is being done. That said, thanks for the great videos i have learned a lot. Just not how to land using VOR

thank god u r FEN here thank u so much

So to help some of the newer people out to VOR i'll explain a few simple things to help you try to understand the video. So VOR is like a roadway in the sky where the beacon being picked up by your DME(distance measuring equipment) tells you how far you are from that intersection(the vor beacon). Vor is not GPS, VOR is almost actually unheard of being used but it is like a failsafe if your GPS clunks out and every pilot needs to know how to do it. So a compass has 360 "radials or degrees so say you start straightshot north of vor beacon ABC and you want to go from ABC to vor beacon DEF. To start you would fly a course of 180 which is straight south to get from north of the beacon heading south towards the beacon now. Then say DEF is directly East of ABC. Once you get to ABC you turn 90 degrees left from 180 so now your on the 90th degree radial from the ABC to get to DEF. So one easy way is 360=pure north and its direct opposite is 180=pure south 90 would be pure east 270 would be pure west. So if you started flying to DEF and your engine clunks out and ABC is the closest airport you would turn from a heading of 180 to 360 to get back to ABC. Now I used pure north south to explain and show as example the radials and if you ever have to directly back track that it would be 180 degrees from what heading your on. So now you know that say you were coming to ABC from XYZ on the 257th radial from XYZ and DEF is 90 degrees from ABC you would turn 93 degrees once you fly over the station ABC to get to DEF because your coming in offset 3 degrees to ABC plus the 90 to be facing directly towards DEF. Clear as mud, lets now all thank god for GPS🤣

When you cross the station, do you not get a FROM indication in MSFS 2020?

I'm trying to learn how to navigate using vor in the basic cessna, I don't recall the model.

When I put in the vor frequency I want to head to and select it as active. My obs gauge doesn't change. Any idea where I'm going wrong?

[RedWolf]

Is a turn like that right before the runway common? That surprised me that you wouldn't be coming straight in from a longer distance.

[wrongwayfeldman]

Is the download bug fixed yet? I'm afraid to shut of the sim now after 12 hour to download it again. & Toronto still looks like poopoo

[dongallagher]

A few months ago there wasn't any traffic anywhere.

[Maddog-heuf]

Can you show us a proc input for an approach in flight? Every time I set it up on the G3000 it keeps sending me back to the waypoint before the transition waypoint.

[gpbarth]

You're gonna laugh at this, but I need to ask - you're not related to one Tucker Carlson, are you? My wife asked from the kitchen if I was watching Tucker's show while I was watching one of your videos. Your voice is very distinctive! And I love your channel. Love the banter and humor. Keep it coming!

[johnmacward]

Procedure turn, offset entry - this is NOT an easy way to learn about VOR approaches.WOuld be a good idea to convey the usefulness of a VOR to begin with

[Dusty]

Thanks for the tutorials your style is a bit fast but you seem to look like Wags from Eagle Dynamics. (DCS) Keep up the tutorials.

[jared]

Would you consider changing your regular curser into a larger red arrow or something similar when you make these videos? Much of the time, I can't see what you're pointing to. Also, where can we read about your credentials. You sort of allude to them, and would like to know before I invest time into your channel. Thanks.

You don’t have to be at 2500 crossing the IAF you have to be at or ABOVE 2500, you nosed down and blew through your altitude for no reason, it’s not an offset entry it’s a parallel entry, when you are clear for the approach you will only fly the course reversal and continue inbound you will never continue to hold unless specifically told to do so, radar vectors are NOT for guiding an aircraft to the ground, radar vectors are for establishing on the final approach course with no procedure turn, your minimums were not 1200 look at the plate again since you have DME your mins were 580 and 1, 1200 should have just been for a step down fix, you don’t use DME to determine station passage that’s what the flip on the HSI is for, also supposed to do left traffic, you made a right base, you don’t use time for the missed approach point since you are DME equipped, your MAP should have just been 7.1 DME, if you’re going to do tutorial videos this stuff needs to be correct.
