Great, very informative video! I will second @Ellexis77, though: the difference in audio levels in a couple of places was really a problem for me watching on the iPhone with headphones — had to turn the sound way up, then got my ears blown out at the end.
WARNING @ 1:35 the video says the distance is measured from the threshold of RWY11, however it is actually being measured from ANEYE. This means using those numbers in tiny print between waypoints and adding up the distance from ANEYE and comparing.
Nice tips, thank you
@robertklein2001 Hit [Direct] [Direct] [ENT] is the same as [Menu] then select “Acitve Leg” [ENT]. As you said, it is different from the [Direct] [ENT], which go direct to the next way point.

Good content, however, AV Web.. PLEASE fix your audio problems!
Really great tips here. But alas, nothing goes together like Avweb and bad audio production. The instructional voice-over is about half the volume of the intro. Their podcasts are usually worse! At least the price is right….
Well done. As a subscriber to your magazine I am always looking to learn more. The OBS function is one that not many pilots know about or use on the 430/530, would nice to have a video on that.
Exelente ! ; gracias ,desde argentina…
Excellent! BTW “Activate Leg” can also be done by hitting [Direct] twice and [ENT] to execute it.
Excellent!
Thank you.
More than one way to skin a cat obviously, but this is a good tutorial. I’d like to see more of these from IFR/AvWeb. For a guy like me who flies airline FMS most of the time and the Garmin 430 only 40hrs/year, this is great!
As with anything with life, 500 paths to end with the same result.
For the last tip, I probably would just hit direct, key in the airport code and enter, and load the approach as normal. No need to keep the original plan since you are returning from the departure airport anyway.
