Master the Garmin GNS 530 — Flying-Low: Flying Low: G530-Advanced - The Advanced Companion to GNS 530/430/S-TEC 55
If you’ve read GNS 530/430/S-TEC 55, you already know how rewarding it can be to unlock the potential of Garmin’s classic GPS/NAV/COM systems. This new book takes you to the next level — focusing exclusively on the GNS 530 and exploring its capabilities in greater depth. It is written as a direct continuation of the earlier title, and owning that first book is highly recommended for anyone who wants to make the most of this advanced training resource.
Where the first book introduced the fundamentals, this volume is built around three complete real-world flights — two in the United States and one in the United Kingdom — that demonstrate the GNS 530 in authentic IFR scenarios. Each flight is carefully structured to teach not only how to use the system, but why and when to apply each feature.
The three tutorial flights use the default Cessna C172 Skyhawk as the example aircraft, but the book is perfectly usable together with any X-Plane aircraft fitted with the G530.
Flight 1: VOR navigation, Direct-To usage, and executing a full procedure turn in an approach.
Flight 2: A complex RNAV route using GPS, STAR arrival, LPV approach, missed approach, and the “vector to final” technique.
Flight 3: A GPS-based route incorporating a SID, STAR, and an ILS precision approach.
You’ll also master CDI guidance and linkage, approach briefs, manual and stored flight plans, descent calculations, GPS and arrival messages, NDB integration, and even more little goodies..
This is not just a manual — it’s a complete learning experience designed for pilots and serious simulation enthusiasts who want to use the GNS 530 with real-world precision and confidence.
It is the advanced Companion to GNS 530/430/S-TEC 55
