Just before another front moved onshore in the Pacific Northwest, I set out from Boeing Field (KBFI) in Seattle to Hoquiam (KHQM) on the Washington coast to fly an ILS approach in visual conditions. This video demonstrates how I set up for, brief, and fly approaches in the A36 Bonanza, which is equipped with the latest Garmin avionics and a modern digital autopilot-flight director, the Garmin GFC 600.

Strong winds aloft required a large heading correction most of the way down the final approach course, as you’ll see as I hand-fly the procedure with the flight director providing helpful cues.
