RNAV Approach w/ PA-28R?
-
Hi Mark, I will, no worries.
The G1000 does not have a problem with displaying the glideslope on RNAV approaches but this issue seems to be related to analogue instruments slaved to the GPS.
Let's wait for the support team reply.

@apollon01 Should the lateral needle move when doing a GPS Rnav approach? My lateral is always centered, and my glidepath doesn't care if i'm 50 miles or 3 miles from the airport, it seems to pretend it's always on final, i can descend or ascend 100 miles away and my vertical guidance needle will go up and down, I'm sure it's user error but I cannot figure out how to just going from A to B, and then culminate into an RNAV approach properly.

@Martyn if the plane is equipped with the garmin 530 and set for an RNAV approach will the plane then be able to automatically follow the RNAV glide slope as well as the localizer when using the GPS mode?
Does a garmin 530 have/use its own built in vertical/lateral control system or is it still coupled to the aircraft’s autopilot system. -

Does a garmin 530 have/use its own built in vertical/lateral control system or is it still coupled to the aircraft’s autopilot system.It's still limited by the autopilot which only provides roll control (apart from the hidden altitude hold clickspot) so unfortunately it won't track the glideslope automatically. You'll need to use the navigation hold mode to track the RNAV 'localiser' and then manually control pitch to track the glideslope.
