Been watching you for some time on my Smart TV and no provision for commenting. I am learning alot from your split screen use of charts and cowl view of taxi and airport manuvers. Thanks for doing such a good job on your presentation.
You're a great pilot!!! The Videos are really good!!! Keep em coming. I purchased a 1960 Cessna 172 with 20.5 hours on a total rebuild, really like this plane. I keep it at KLXT, suburb of KCMO, I plan on flying to San Diego in early May, looking forward to that trip!
+Evilec Paz Hi Evilec, You can see how Metering is supposed to work in one of my other Chicago videos: czcams.com/video/Q1gayFcAa_M/video.html#t=7m44s Basically, it's a step before Ground, and only used for outbound aircraft. At O'Hare it's standard; some other busy airports also use it. I had not seen it at Midway before. At airports where ground metering is in effect, you call Metering intead of Ground when you are ready for taxi. They take your information and give you a Ground frequency to monitor. Then Ground calls the pilot whenever they are ready for the aircraft to move. This provides a little bit of relief on the Ground frequency, and - maybe more importantly - it allows ATC to determine the order in which airplanes are called up for taxi by Ground, to optimize the flow.
+Martin Pauly Thanks for sharing. I've heard them do metering at DFW. I just didn't know what it was called. I really appreciate your work on these videos. I know it's not easy. What software are you using?
+Claudio Nicolotti Salve Claudio, I hate to disappoint you, but there is no second part of this video - I only recorded the take off and climb on that flight. The best I can offer is a night landing at Cedar Rapids, IA (KCID) from another recent flight: czcams.com/video/bis3cVFQk_Y/video.html Best regards, Martin
Another very interesting video - thank you. Side note to Brian K Rich, MD - unfortunately there are still some totally unprepared idiots clogging up an otherwise very safe operating environment. Can you imagine the controllers reaction when the pilot said "I don't know where I'm going after Joliet" YIKES!!!
Always enjoy your vids, Martin. I have quite a few hours in a A-36 and it brings lots of memories. In fact, I've been thinking about getting another one!
Martin, I am revisiting your videos. We owned a '79 A36 from '87 - 2003, so I am flying vicariously through you! I may buy another Bonanza, that is why I ask you so many ugrade questions :-) Been out of flying since 2003, but going to get my commercial multi next year and fly as a second career. This is just a comment and suggestion to all aviators, not a criticism of you or your crew resource management, but may be a learning moment for others. @ 09:54 passenger inquires about flap position. We should try to fly like the big boys do, maintain a sterile cockpit as much as possible during ground, takeoff, departure, pattern, and landen phases of flight. We had extra laminated checklists for everything from startup, taxi, takeoff briefing, departure, landing etc. Usually I let the front right passenger(if competent of course) handle reading the checklists to me.....gives them a job, purpose and keeps unecessary distractions to a minimum. Some of my best crew members were non pilots, because they had their gaze outside the aircraft and not watching me or ghost flying the aircraft. Often times they spotted traffic before I did and kept a keen eye on the 2-5 oclock(i assigned it to them) position while taxiing. Really enjoy the videos Martin....miss the Bonanza.
Another great video Martin Thanks for keeping it real and professional. I would love to have seen you continue onto Cedar Rapids and shown us VFR guys what a night time cross country at night looked like.
Hi Mel. The rest of the flight would have looked pretty bad. Once you leave the lights of the big city behind you, there's not much for the cameras to pick up. Maybe next time I'll include the landing in Cedar Rapids, though. Regards, Martin
+David Heon David, you are right - this was my first real attempt to use the GoPros at night, and the flashing light is annoying. I think your suggestion (to put a piece of tape over it) will work - I'll try it next time.
+Brian K Rich MD Yes, I'm sure he raised some eyebrows with his response :-) In the post-Meigs world, I always fly to Midway when going downtown. It's the closest, with an easy drive or train ride to the loop. I also think it's fun flying to Midway. I've also been to Aurora, DuPage, Schaumburg and Executive (a.k.a. Palwauke), as well as Bolingbrooks Clow and Gary. Depending on what I'm planning to do, they can all be good choices.
Matthew, I know of no restriction or rule which would prevent that. Individual airports probably have some limitations as to what runway configurations ATC may use, but that's not publicly available information to my knowledge. Regards, Martin
So supplanting into position & hold with lineup & wait mitigated enough runway incursions to save intersection departures w/some few exceptions. Thanks for the reply & I enjoy your videos . . .
@@d.b.cooper6112 Yes, I understand your comment about runway incursions. Still a big problem today, despite all the technology and attention it gets. I try to be super-alert for what other traffic is cleared to do in a situation like this one in Midway, even during daytime. Regards, Martin
The "radio man" (a.k.a. avionics technician) has already looked at it and found nothing wrong. Next on the list is the ignition system - might be the old ignition harness. I may just replace that at the next annual.
+Bud owens Thanks, Bud. I work for an avionics company for a living, but working on equipment for much larger airplanes than my Bonanza. The videos are just a hobby.

Hello again Martin. I'd never heard of ground metering in my life. Great video Thanks for Sharing it!

Woaoo more safety then for us thanks for the teaching Martin!

I'm looking forward to see the second part of this video. I really enjoy every single moment of your recordings.
Thank you for sharing them with us!

+Martin Pauly Oh, well, I'll take that as well :-)
Thank you!
Thanks again for helping me with my training!!!!!
Another very interesting video - thank you.

You are really good pilot Capt. Martin.
Thank you :-)

Thanks, Douglas. The are wonderful airplanes, aren't they?

Really enjoy the videos, Martin. Big fun seeing my local airport (PWK) and my son is a student not far away from you in Mt. Vernon. Keep them coming!
Thanks, hatpeach1, and good look for your son at Cornell!
This is very interesting. It gives you a different perspective on how one pilots an aircraft in the night. My guess you have an Indian guest onboard.
Foreign, yes - Indian, no.
My passenger that night was a French private pilot.
- Martin
At 17:55, controller cracked me up when he said "whad do you want, sir." Now that's putting it plain enough!
I like how that is followed by:
ATC: "What's your position?"
Pilot: "Hmm.... Let me look at a map...."
Map, or chart? Well...it's a map if hiking or driving. It's a chart if you're boating or flying.
Another great video Martin Thanks for keeping it real and professional. I would love to have seen you continue onto Cedar Rapids and shown us VFR guys what a night time cross country at night looked like.

Thanks for the reply sir. Love your videos. I learn from everyone of them.
great video, thank you!!
Thanks, Andrei - glad you enjoyed it.
Regards, Martin
Recognized a friend who was the tower controller's voice.
Nice video, Thanks. . Need to put a small piece of duct tape over the red light on the go-Pro so it doesnt reflect on the window.
+David Heon David, you are right - this was my first real attempt to use the GoPros at night, and the flashing light is annoying. I think your suggestion (to put a piece of tape over it) will work - I'll try it next time.
Martin, more right rudder.
Love the guy asking for flight following "well let me look at the map here..." What is your preferred airport for Chicago?
+Brian K Rich MD Yes, I'm sure he raised some eyebrows with his response :-)
In the post-Meigs world, I always fly to Midway when going downtown. It's the closest, with an easy drive or train ride to the loop. I also think it's fun flying to Midway. I've also been to Aurora, DuPage, Schaumburg and Executive (a.k.a. Palwauke), as well as Bolingbrooks Clow and Gary. Depending on what I'm planning to do, they can all be good choices.
So night intersection t/o's are still okay on non-active/non-favored runways?
Matthew, I know of no restriction or rule which would prevent that. Individual airports probably have some limitations as to what runway configurations ATC may use, but that's not publicly available information to my knowledge.

Martin, can your radio man do anything to eliminate the static? Great job. Don't change a thing. Thanks for your work!

Yes, probably just needs shielding.
Great videos, what do you do for a living?
+Bud owens Thanks, Bud. I work for an avionics company for a living, but working on equipment for much larger airplanes than my Bonanza. The videos are just a hobby.
