Full Autopilot Flight Tutorial | RNAV Approach | Vision Jet | MSFS | G3000 or G1000

In this full-flight tutorial, we fly from Courchevel to Venice using the Vision Jet autopilot from start to finish in Microsoft Flight Simulator, concluding with an RNAV approach into Venice.

If you’ve ever wondered how to put autopilot on in Microsoft Flight Simulator, this guide walks through the full process step by step.

This step-by-step workflow demonstrates how to plan the flight, configure the autopilot, manage the climb and cruise, and execute a smooth descent and RNAV approach. The techniques shown in this video apply not only to the Vision Jet’s Garmin G3000, but also to the G1000 and other Garmin systems — the buttons may be in different places, but the workflow remains the same.

During the flight we use:

• Heading Mode (HDG)
• Navigation Mode (NAV)
• Vertical Speed Mode (VS)
• Altitude Hold (ALT)
• Vertical Navigation (VNAV)
• Approach Mode (APR)
Whether you're new to autopilot systems or learning how to fly RNAV approaches, this tutorial provides practical techniques you can apply across many Garmin-equipped aircraft.

These autopilot techniques apply whether you’re flying on PC, Xbox, or PlayStation 5, as the Garmin workflow remains the same across platforms.
