Flightplan and GPS tutorial video (FS2004)

This video shows how to fly a STAR (Standard Terminal Arrival Route) by using the Garmin GPS 500. Major airports have one or more of these STARs. You can find the charts of these instrument procedures on http://www.airnav.com. Note that AirNav.com doesn't have charts for airports outside the USA. For this tutorial, we will use the TEDDY THREE arrival of Theodore Francis Green State Airport (KPVD) at Providence, Rhode Island, USA.
