Navigate Precisely Anywhere in Your Simulator
Glass instrument panels are mainstays of modern aviation. The Garmin G1000 is used by general and commercial aviation alike because it makes navigation information easy to read and use. Pilots always have a clear and concise picture of where they are and where they are going.
In Microsoft Flight Simulator™ 2020, the Garmin G1000 or variations are available in these aircraft:
- Beechcraft Baron G58
- Beechcraft Bonanza
- Beechcraft King Air 350
- Cessna 172 Skyhawk
- Cessna 208B Grand Caravan
- Daher TBM 930
- Diamond DA40 and DA42
- Extra 330 LT (variation)
- Flight Design CTSL (variation)
- JMB VL-3 (variation)

Focus and Limits
This video focuses on using the MFD and PFD in the Garmin G1000 glass panel for cross-country navigation. It uses Microsoft Flight Simulator™ 2020 because of its popularity. Basic principles and methods can be applied to similar navigation devices and other simulation programs.
Being limited to navigation, this video does not explain everything a G1000 does such as autopilot and radios. It does not explain instrument approach procedures, which are explained in a dedicated video. It does not explain making and filing flight plans, which are explained in a separate video.
Free Bonus Items
To help you maximize your simulations, these items are included free of charge:
- Transcript of entire video
- V-Speed card
- Concise list of MSFS 2020 keyboard shortcuts
Relevancy Statement
My flight-sim videos and books are only for home flight-simulation computer games. They are based on real aviation laws, regulations, and procedures so home flight-simulation enthusiasts can maximize their enjoyment. Because some aspects of home flight-simulation games are not exactly like real-world aviation, some information in my videos and books is not exactly like real-world flight. That is why these videos and books are not intended for and should not be used for real-world flight or lessons. No liability for misapplication of this flight-simulation video is accepted. – Bill Stack
Use Your Time Productively
Don’t lose valuable flight-simming opportunities searching the internet for flimsy freebies. Most are worth their cost. Ftldave says it best:
“YouTube is hit or miss. Sometimes there's great, informative content, other times the videos are useless and unintelligible. How much time do you want to spend searching for the former, how much time to waste with the latter? As is often said about open software, the same is true for this: It's free if your time has no value to you.”
Flight simmers have trusted, benefitted, and enjoyed my instructional books since 1997 and my videos sincd 2010.
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed
A lot of time and effort has been invested toward making quality products that are useful to people. Any video with manufacturing defects will be replaced at no cost. If you can show that the content of this video is not as described, your money will be refunded. If you find facts that you believe are in error, please let me know so I can evaluate them. – Bill Stack
