The G430/530 interface is not exactly intuitive and there’s quite a few interesting ways of navigating the menus.Īfter spending alot of time using my mouse in X-Plane 11 to program a simulated 430, I wanted physical input. Although I read instructions for it and watched many Youtube videos about them, I had limited hands-on experience as my time in the aircraft is spent practicing maneuvers and looking out the window, rather than futzing around with programming the Garmin. It’s easy to get distracted by cockpit electronics and the Garmin 430/530 can be challenging if you aren’t familiar with it.

However, our labs are trying to leverage virtualization technologies like Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion to bridge the Garmin GNS simulation components with X-Plane on Mac OSX for a future version.In real-world flight training, it’s easy to get overloaded. The GNS WAAS simulation for X-Plane uses a helper application from Garmin designed and compatible with the Windows Operating System only.
