In this video, Bruce Williams demonstrates one technique for flying the RNAV (GPS) Runway 27 approach into Port Angeles, Washington. Using a Garmin GFC 600 autopilot, he shows how to level off at the MDA while allowing the autopilot to maintain lateral guidance, reducing workload as the airplane continues toward the missed approach point.
ForeFlight’s new dynamic procedures feature is revolutionizing how pilots approach instrument flying, moving away from static charts toward a fully interactive, data-driven experience. In this video, captured during practice approaches under VFR at Hoquiam, Washington, Bruce Williams explores how ForeFlight’s dynamic procedures compare to Garmin Pilot’s smart charts.
