Basic IFR & Auto Pilot on the G1000 GPS | Microsoft Flight Simulator | Cessna 172

Now that we've had coffee in Flagstaff after a VFR flight in the Cessna 152, let's fly back to Sedona on an IFR flight plan using the G1000 GPS in a Cessna 172. This tutorial summarizes the important things into one video so you can start flying an IFR route with a GPS approach right away. I also covered the main things to know to start using the G1000 Auto Pilot comfortably. The Cessna 172 is the most sold and owned aircraft in the world and it's a really great airplane to get to know. There's some "bonus" material in here as well like flight planning, how to know what altitude to fly at, and how to use the mixture. Let me know if you have any questions, enjoy the flight, and thanks always for your support!

Notes: On my final approach I was approaching a little fast (on purpose) but the recommended approach speed in a C172 SP is closer to 65 knots. Also, you only want "the most engine rpm's" from the mixture setting during takeoff and landing. For cruising, in many airplanes, you want the lowest operational rpm to decrease wear on the engine, and increase your fuel economy. I messed up the terminology for the "localizer" as well. There is no ILS at this runway, so the vertical and horizontal guidance you receive is actually GPS data.
