What kind of video would you like to see?

on the garmin 430w at the MAP it automaticaaly goes into suspend. At this point i disengage autopilot and hand fly the missed approach procedure(climb/ turn). once the plane is stabilized i put the altitude in the EFIS that I'm climing to and the reengage the AP and take the 430 out of suspend. It will then fly the hold.

Currently the EFIS/AP is only following the missed approach from the GPS(430W/530W/GTN650). If the GPS tells the EFIS/AP to turn 60 deg to the right we are going to turn while we start the climb to the altitude bug setting. The EFIS/AP is only tracking what the GPS is telling it to do.

If the GPS is showing the rounded corners and dotted lines we should be following the gradual turn.

Rob,
If i do not disengage the autopilot at the MAP what will the AP do while the 430w is in suspend?

When you press suspend on the 430W the AP horizontal follows whatever the 430W is telling it to do, the vertical goes back to the altitude bug.

I agree with all the above. I'm at the point trying to learn to coordinate AFS3500s , 430w, and AFS autopilot to setup and fly approaches. So far I can make some of it work, but I feel I'm fumbling through the set up when I should be looking outside for traffic. The ILS video was a great start, but cut short for the missed approach. I'm still learning my way around the 430w which might make things easier later.

This is just going to take time to learn. Videos that show detail of the set up and execution of different approach scenarios including Radar vectors to final, missed approach, when to set Lat Nav vs Lat Arm, and using suspend on the 430w would be great. A simulator that coordinates with Garmins 430 sim would be even better but sounds complicated.

I agree with Don, I have an IFD 540 and would like to see a training video on how to integrate it with my 5800 to flight plan, navigate, and fly approach and missed approach. Thanks!

The ifd540 manual will show you how to flight plan but the 540 is nice that it will auto sequence (if setup is set to auto miss), then if cdi is selected on afs efis to ifd navigator, if wired correctly will show all flight plan sequence on flight plan page of efis to match ifd flt plan page. Bonus is autopilot coupling will sequence and fly approach in that mode.

One of our recent panel customers just made a terrific video showing the whole AOA calibration:

No video, but the newest AF-5000 user guide, pages 22-46 has a comprehensive breakdown of EFIS buttonology:
