Can't your Jet fly the track on AP while you setup the required ROD and then monitor it??

Basic stuff Dick......don't you remember doing NDB's in a twin, hand flown with an engine out AND with a 30 kt tailwind and turbulence on the final segment?????? I do and these modern jets are a breeze in comparison...
Amazing.

The Garmin G1000/GFC700 is incredibly capable but not so much in Australia, where the it spits the VNV at the FAF. I guess Garmin know we are all real men (and women) here who hand fly everything to the minima, poo poo the magenta line and only respond to flicking needles. We can just do soooo much better with a WW2 ADF and good old vac driven DI.
