I recently just installed a 420w (no nav, but com and GPS). We did the first test flight this past week. Coupled to autopilot perfectly, flew the entry, hold, then inbound. 1st time via autopilot, 2nd time following the HSI.
But I am curious how others with a similar setup use the systems. For example the 4XXW you can't input Victor Airways into a flight plan. To construct the flight plan if more than just airports, can be a lot of knob twisting.
So how do you flow, if given a Victor Airway to follow do you use the Dynon for enroute, and just load approaches thru the 4XXW, any tips are appreciated. I am not IFR rated yet, but idea was to use this system now to train.
