Greetings,
There are a lot of super smart pilots with lots of GTN experience on this forum so I am sure I came to the right place for this question...
I have the Dynon SkyView SV-1000 EFIS and a Garmin GTN-650 that I am just now learning how to integrate together.
At my home airport there is no instrument approach procedure and it is very dark at night because it is located in a very small community and it has lots of scary looking mountains all around (does not look so scary at night because you can not see the mountains) so can someone please tell me how to develop a flight plan at home on my computer and be able to upload it to the GTn-650 so I can design my own Pseudo RNAV Approach on the GTN?
I have ForeFlight and I can use the Aerial View to have a satellite view of the surrounding terrain and I can build a nice looking arrival ground path using the rubber band feature and I added a number of fixes to make a swooping smooth arrival ground track and I can upload it to the SV when I get in the airplane.
The problem is that SV currently does not have the ability to build a VNAV vertical guidance to the runway.
The goal would be to build the ground path (in this example to fly overhead the runway and then do a continuous circling right hand traffic pattern to the final and runway touchdown point, then tell it I want a 3.0 degree glide path to the runway. I would then go and test fly the approach a number of times so as to ensure that it is safely away from the surrounding terrain. The point being that it would provide good situational awareness and have the autopilot do the work of flying while I can keep my attention on the local environment, CFIT avoidance, and engine and systems management.
I just re-read the SV Pilot User Guide and there does not seem to be an VNAV function so perhaps there is a Garmin app that will do the same function as FF and that I can add VNAV altitudes and it would be great to design this flight plan and then download it to a chip and take it to the airplane.
Has anyone done this and if so what advice can you please offer?
THANKS!!!
THANKS!!!
