Relevancy Declaration

This video is based on Microsoft Flight Simulator (TM) 2020 because it is popular. Principles and methods can be applied to similar GPS devices in other home flight-simulation programs, including MSFS 2024.

The video is 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 this video is not exactly like real-world flight. That is why my videos and books are not intended for and should not be used for real-world flight or lessons. – Bill Stack
