CYPA RNAV 26 APPROACH AND MISSED
Last night I set up the simulator and did the RNAV 26 approach into CYPA, followed by a missed approach, and then another approach and landing. Notes:
- Remember to check that the CDI indicator is set to GPS and not VLOC,
- Ensure that there is enough fuel in the tanks for the simulator. Ran out of gas in the circuit.
- The simulated model represents imbalanced fuel in the tanks very well. Easier if the tanks are balanced.
- Ensure the ailerons are balanced in the configuration for the simulator. I had them set slightly out and I was always rolling to the right the moment I relaxed.
I will need to make a simpler and shorter checklist for the approach. The one I use currently is too detailed and long. I am currently focusing on the mechanics of getting proficient with the GNS 430 but once I am quite comfortable I need to start adding all the radio calls as well.
