Using VNAV on Approaches

My article about using VNAV is in the August issue of AOPA Flight Training magazine, here. I tried to address the most common questions and mixups that I see when folks use VNAV while flying approaches.

To see VNAV in action, watch this video at my YouTube channel.

Scenic Approach at Tillamook, OR

I’ve been testing the latest system software in my Garmin avionics and checking out the A36 after its annual inspection. A break in the weather allowed a scenic VFR flight from Boeing Field (KBFI) to Tillamook, OR (KTMK) and a practice RNAV RWY 13 approach using the automation available with the Garmin GTN 500Txi, GTN 750Xi, and GFC 600 autopilot.

Enjoy the spectacular scenery along the Oregon coast south of Astoria as I descend into KTMK.
