Using GPS for Instrument Approaches

By Bill Stack

Enjoy the Ease and Accuracy of GPS for Instrument Approach Procedures

Pilots flying IFR use instrument approaches to arrive at their destination airports accurately and safely, and pilots flying VFR can use them as well. The GPS devices in MSFS 2020 make following instrument approach procedures easy because routes, fixes, and distances are plainly displayed on the GPS moving map.

Use GPS to Follow Published Instrument Approaches

Select, load, and activate published instrument approaches
Choose transition points
See your approaches in the GPS screen
Follow your approaches by GPS
Use autopilot to guide through the approaches
Recognize transition points, initial fixes, and intermediate fixes.
And much more

Enjoy the Advantages of GPS Navigation

Your GPS shows the selected approach path and data.
You can access detailed information about your approach.
You can allow GPS and autopilot to follow approaches accurately.
Or you can maneuver through the approaches yourself.
You can change approaches if necessary.
And many more skills.

Use Your Time Wisely

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.

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. We accept no liability for any misuse of these flight-simulation videos and books! – Bill Stack

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed

A lot of time and effort has been invested toward making quality products that are useful to people. Any books or videos with manufacturing defects will be replaced at no cost. If you can show that the content of these books or videos 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
