I've been flying since I was 16 and at age 19 flew around the world by myself in the same 1981 A36 Beechcraft Bonanza I still fly, becoming the youngest person ever to solo circumnavigate by aircraft.
Now, I'm sharing all kinds of aviation adventures with YOU! Ride along as we explore the world from the air and get a close up look at some of aviation's best flight experiences and destinations.

A word from an older airman (who has flown in this aircraft and even longer ferry flights ) from cubs to 747’s, flying over mountains at night single engine blurs the line from skill toward luck. Good luck!
Flying Physician here. Rules aside. Any flight longer than 3-4 hours flying solo at altitudes where your oxygen will not be optimal (happens many times well below 12,5k) for prolonged periods of time can impair your performance. My flight packages for long solo flights include food with plenty of snacks to keep the brain going (brain needs glucose to work efficiently) as well as oxygen. I will wear it regardless of not flying in the teens (but above 8k) on long flights. You arrive much more rested and stay sharper for a longer period of time if you cover those bases. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and share long flights like these!
Good info there Doc... Thanks!!
What would you say that are good foods for glucose? Sometimes we have flights that I cant have breakfast and even lunch.
I think it's time for me to have a life saving food kit :).
Excellent comment. Matt isn't in great physical shape too start with. He was slurring his words at the end. Long flight, bad weather, mountains, icing conditions, time zones, day to night, vfr to ifr, get there-itis, changing clothes, feet up on glare shield, no oxygen or extra food or caffeine. This could have been a well documented NTSB report.
@@SquawkCode given that he did fly to restricted Russian airspace without appropriate documentation, this is not out of the ordinary.
I too use my Mountain High portable O2 at FL90 plus, even if it's quite legal not to. Makes me much, much sharper, especially over long distance flights.
I agree with European comment. Former USAF instructor pilot you only get one fatal accident per lifetime don’t push it.
In 1976-1977, at age 23-24, I did the same type flying as Matt, in v tail bonanzas. I didn’t fly west of the Mississippi and over western mountains, however. Now, 45 years later, flying my 1947 v tail bonanza, at age 69 (and with 28,000 hours in my logbook), I choose not to fly anything but simple ifr, and not at night. My strategy since I was young (and immortal)😮, seems to have worked. I became an old pilot, by not being bold! Matt can do this now, but he’ll curtail it, when he perceives that his luck-bucket nears empty. Dave, Mangold-friend of Valerie and Eric
Man your video is a new style of living the passion with you I really love it ! Subscribed directly.
This was a great video, really enjoyed the flight. Thank you for sharing.
Another great production thanks Matt. I think as already suggested you pushed the safety envelope a few times but marvellous example of plane and pilot in harmony
Great video Matt! I recently flew my V 35B IO-550 seven hours and thirty minutes, with the same fuel as your 36, from Illinois to Salt Lake City. Similar in and out or IFR to VFR and in and out of icing conditions. The work load would be almost impossible without a good auto pilot and good avionics. Having portable oxygen and the ability to go into the teens made it easier to out climb icing. I’m going to be getting a turbo normalizer soon so that I can climb faster to help avoid ice.
Keep up the good work.
Using all kinds of tricks, I like it!
Interesting weather, super nice flight and route
Thank you for sharing your flight..
Great video, Mr. Guthmiller! You have the best fun
Hi Matt, I’d just like to say that I really enjoy “flying with you.” Your camera work and production quality are excellent and I really enjoy your running commentary. It’s immersive; almost like being there. Thanks.
Amazing video as usual, keep em coming
you are one brave soul.good work!!!
kinda love the "corporate training video" music in this one, it's a vibe
Bravo! Well done!
Interesting one, this. I think it throws up a lot of questions though. I've flown VFR and IFR all over Europe for 20 plus years - and everyone's risk profile is different - but I don't think I'd want to take on a 9 hour flight in the middle of winter in a non-deiced aircraft at possible icing levels and with no oxygen either. Sounds like you flew quite a bit at 13,000 feet too - I don't know about over there but on my side of the Pond that's only allowed up to a max of 30 minutes (and maybe that was what you did, I don't know), and even then it isn' t always such a brilliant idea. Especially if you don't have an oximeter to check sat levels? Then there's taking on the mountains at night in a single-engine plane after several long such hours - a bit of a leap of faith perhaps? Or a touch of hypoxic elation? To be honest, Matt - and quite understandably - you sounded bloody exhausted at the end of that flight. It only needed something not to go quite right and maybe your decision making would have been seriously challenged. Don't get me wrong - I really like your videos and you're a braver guy than I am (and a lot younger) but then the best of these videos throw up all the best issues so that's got to be a good thing. And this one does it in spades.
In the Us at 12,500 MSL, you can only fly for 30 minutes without supplemental oxygen, 14,000 MSL you need it at all times
mind you this man has already circumnavigated the world on his bonanza
He's an excellent pilot but he's young.He won't have any reason to be doing this when he's older. It's just the name of the game I guess, the future belongs to the young!
He has two friends who died violating W/B limits or are/were investigated by the FAA for possible fraud ie staged water landing.
@Strephen Walker, I have attempted to counsel MG on numerous occasions publicly and privately. He may or may not kill himself someday ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I just hope he’s alone when his luck runs out.
I love these single pilot long haul videos. Well done!
Pretty cool. A lot of videos edit out the coms which makes it harder to learn for those of us that like to listen. I am no stranger to using coms (fmr mil), but the norms and procedures are different.
Great video Matt only a person with your flying experience can pull this of 9 hour flight is amazing I can not even drive for 9 hours. Safe Travels
I fixed the tower phone lines at Palo Alto and Redwood City one day about 20 years ago !
I love it
The Red Cam Bonanza. 👍
this is so comfy
So cool!
As a very low time, recently licensed pilot, I am absolutely in awe of you piloting skills. Particularly you systems/communication skills
you'll be wanting to set the bar a bit higher there, champ
I would not aspire to do anything that he just did... entirely dangerous
Nice video. I wish my BE35 had legs like that.
pretty cool
Impressive use of the rules and great flight.
Intelligent pilot 🎉🎉
Nice video, nice radio work. I miss my V-tail.
Good job.!!
Brilliant video!
That’s amazing mate!!
Beautiful sunset
Epic leg ✊
The fact that it's December 2021 in this shows just how far behind we are.
Yeah 4 months backlog is a lot!
I'm not a pilot, but these videos make me wish I was. Thanks for taking us along
Very cool, what are the fuel numbers: rate, capacity, etc.?
How long was this flight, both in distance flown and in time? And how many gallons were used? It would be interesting to know.
For the owner/operator nerds out here, screen titles for alt, oat, mp, rpm, etc would be cool.
good arches, on those feet, Mathew
Haven’t watched it yet but hi Matt love your videos :)
Turn around
@@Dndieiwnsnsnjdid ??
Single-engine at night over the Sierras with barely enough fuel for Plan A. Be careful or you'll end up on the wall at Pancho's.
Matt, cool video! My dream is to get my pilot's license, but student loans will not allow it for at least another 20-30 years. Glad I could ride along if not in person. Thanks! 😁
Are feet on the dash a good thing?
Hey, camera that you are using inside is not listed on your camera gear - what is it? :)
A banana in a bonanza. Nice!
For Part 91 General Aviation operations the required flight crew must use supplemental oxygen for any portion of the flight that exceeds 30 minutes above a cabin pressure altitude of 12,500 feet mean sea level (MSL) up to and including 14,000 feet (MSL).
Sigma males like him can be above 12500ft for extended periods :D
That's why he requested a block altitude 12-13k
Cool no one cares
14CFR91.211 doesn't apply if you have your own CZcams channel.
I think.
Let me dig a little deeper into the FAR/AIM here on my desk...
@@bradrobinhancock8491 Ta F man, although there are regulations like this, it's up to the pilot to implement it. Maybe he´s got higher tolerance to lower air densities, I mean he´s young and he flies often.
Hah, cool to hear my home airport (KPAO) controllers in your video!
You built an airport at your house? That's amazing!
KPAO controllers are awesome.
Seems like there was a lot of "hope" and wishful thinking in this flight. Cloud tops increasing, rime icing below. Sometimes experience can lead to a false sense of security. "Well, it worked out ok last time...".
Excellent video editing of eating your banana. One can never be too careful these days…
It would be fascinating - and genuinely educational - to get Matt Guthmiller's own perspective on many of the comments below but we'll just have to see if he does. As I and many others have suggested, this flight raises some very interesting questions, but of course it must also be stated that we only have an edited 'highlights' video to go by and so cannot be privy to some of the bigger pre-flight and in-flight decision-making processes that were also taking place behind the scenes. All pilots can learn from each other, however old, young, experienced, inexperienced, adventurous round-the-worlders or hamburger hoppers. So let's learn Matt.
Cool flight
Thought we would see owen
Like ur longer hair
Question Matt, what’s in Aberdeen SD? I’ve seen you fly in or out of there at least a couple times. Just curious.
I think this is where he is from;
How do you go to the bathroom? I get 1…but 2?
Casually uses a red digital cinema camera for a GoPro
Peeps still use Gp's?
Do you have much heat in your plans? Is it electric/accessory heating or drawn off the engine? Does anyone know? Just curious.....
There’s a duct around part of the exhaust that draws heat into the cabin
I hop that plane has got heat hotel popa!
When's the upgrade?
Great video as always, I have a question for any IFR pilots, at 12:30 he cancelled IFR and went VFR, what was the reason for that? We’re they routing for traffic or terrain or for some other reason?
IFR pilot here and anyone in the comments correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the reason for that was that the MIA (minimum IFR altitude) was higher than what he was already flying. ATC had to send him another route in order to stay at that altitude. Instead of him having to divert a little ways and add time he just cancelled IFR so he could stay at that altitude and not have to divert.
All that glass still can’t help with good decision making. You really narrowed your options on that flight.
Very sketchy flight plan but you made it so :)
Matt, have you noticed the inversion in temperature is getting more prevalent ? I’ve heard some airlines unable to fly as high as their flight plan due to inversion.
Those Pressurized Turbine guys got it so much easier? I can see you stepping up. The question would be, to what?? Standing by.
I’m thinking Custom Jet or maybe a TBM.
Or maybe stay piston and get a pressurized twin?
Are you at Sun n Fun today, Matt?
Hey Matt, really enjoyed this one....from the vault! Belated Happy New Year...thanks for bringing this one out.....solid long-distance flight...totally enjoyed it, how do you do this w/o oxygen at those altitudes for that length of time?
I was wondering the same thing, but I don’t like it no pilot should fly that length at those altitudes without oxygen.
I can't tell for sure but I think he was only trying to stay above 12,500 for 30 mins or less but you can't tell if that happened or not.
Gutsy flight, nice!
Do you use supplemental oxygen when in the teens? Didn’t see it in the videos.
I watched this 2 years ago before beginning my flight training and never noticed. I’m back, rewatching - and yea… he’s not using oxygen 😳.
You ever think of going to a pressurized single?
What is the camera over your right shoulder.
Imagine you do this everyday, yes, when you’re flying for commercial part 135, daily flying limit single pilot is 8 hours, dual pilot is 10 hours, and you have a 14 hours’ duty day… there are lots of airplane’s endurance are 8, 10, 12, 14 hours or more…
Go towards the light! Name that movie.
Poltergeist
How money this plane
Dang, I've got 30-35 actual IFR hours, so I've never picked up a clearance in the air. Is that all that's required? Seems like a heck of a lot more work filing on the ground.
It is always best to file on the ground. Even if you don't use it right away, you can file on the ground and then pick it up once airborne. The problem with getting a "Pop-up" clearance (What Matt did, not filing ahead of time and just asking once airborne) is that you may not get it. Sometimes the best that you will get is asked to contact FSS and file with them and them come back to pick it up with ATC. Sometimes you might just get an "Unable." Without digging into the weeds too much about the ATC computer system and routing etc... Just know that there is A LOT of stuff that happens on the back end that pilots do not see when we file IFR plans. And it's an extremely uncomfortable situation to be in when you're facing some inclement weather ahead, or worse already in it and you receive the response "Nxxxx Unable IFR at this time, say your intentions."
@@Kdogfunkarelli OK, great information to know! Thanks so much! I knew there was "a catch!" I'll always file on the ground unless there's a need to do it in the air. The last time I flew IFR was in the late 90s & I was filling out paper forms & calling it in. I know it's much easier now & I'm about to get back in the cockpit & get current & train for CFI/hot air balloon.
@@Kdogfunkarelli
“Say intentions?” Uhhh, OK. How about this, I’m flying my unpressurized Bonanza, no oxygen, over the Sierras and weather is closing in. Clearance or not I’m going to be flying on instruments in about five minutes. See ya on the other side.”
I file IFR on the ground and pick up my clearance in the air all the time when leaving an uncontrolled field. I only pick it up on the ground when I have to for the weather conditions.
@@Heathfx5 is your starting point that you filed still just the airport of departure?
What cameras are you using now? Blue skies and safe landings.
The dude has too much money.
Looks like a Red Cinema
Put some boots on that BZ
What was the route?
What do you use for oxygen when you are at those altitudes?
Hopefully O2
@@RayleighCriterion Yeah well O3 is banned so...
@@Mike_Costello Dont even try O on its own, very reactive
@@KingJellyfishII You do get more bang for your buck though.
@@Mike_Costello lol, in the literal sense of the word
Could you please provide a date you fly a route and a route please? Be cool to recreate some of these flights in Flight SIm. :)
I thought he said this one was on New Years Eve 2021, from Aberdeen to Palo Alto.
As a non pilot here. What is the reason you had to cancel your IFR to get through that area? Why was it difficult for the controller to have you IFR?
there are IFR minimums in areas that due to terrain where if you are flying IFR, the controller has to give you that minimum altitude so they dont accidentally fly you into a mountain. Since Matt could fly VFR he could fly at a lower altitude than allowed during IFR. Since Matt has to manage his time at altitude to meet O2 requirements, its best if he can remain under VFR rules so he can fly at lower than the IFR minimum. ( he can fly for only 30 minutes above 12,500 without supplemental oxygen, any altitude above 14,000 requires O2)
Do you not have heating inside the aircraft?
Usually the heating in single engine piston engine airplanes comes from a duct around the exhaust pipe and one reason for not using it is there can be some exhaust leak that causes a CO leak that can be deadly.
RED cinema cameras for cockpit video...That's a first 😳
I know right?
My thoughts exactly.. 👌
@@JoseAlfonsoChavez that’s class!
seems excessive
@@MonaLisa.mp4 to some it might be but some prefer high end video. Not sure if it has 4K though.. it’s a great camera though.
How are you flying above 13,000 without oxygen? I thought Bonanzas weren’t pressurized.
Huge lungs
He's a naughty boi.
Was wondering the same thing.
He has extra oxygen in his balls.
12,500 - 14,000 allowed for 30 minutes. From his instruments, a bunch of the flight was at 11,000 -12,000 or lower
Careful Matt, the hall monitors are out in force today. Probably the same guys that would call it in if they saw your spinner an inch past the hold short line.
Matt I’ll fly with you anytime
what do they mean by block?
Your probably used to seeing clearances to specific altitudes. Sometimes pilots will request a "Block" altitude where it would be acceptable to fly anywhere in the block. For example 11-13000
what do you do when you have to pee?
Pee in a bottle or bag
Look for a spare water bottle
achievement unlocked: iron butt
Do you heve new brand of videocameras? They perform very well at dark.
he uses RED Digital Cinema
How do you sleep while flying solo...? I know you had to be tired... 9 hrs sheesh
Any possibilities of lookkg at another type of airplane in the future ?
Very James Bondesq. "Black Tie" ready
Send me the details and a picture of it
UNless he changes, he will be gone soon in the future
is there a limit / law on the hours a private pilot can fly for in a single day?
For a private pilot, there are no codified duty limits. That said, everyone should have their own minimums for weather, rest, etc. But the choice belongs to the individual.
No
24
I bet you ran into the FBO straight to the urinal after that one.... lol...
wondering if he takes the time to turn off all the cameras when the Travel Johns come out. 😵
It’s blatantly obvious that you’re cruising around above 12,500 for more than 30 minutes without oxygen. To each their own but I wouldn’t be broadcasting this in public view…
Is it? How so? He had a block altitude, and was changing alts often
@@tjm2212 he kept checking in at 13,000 and you could see the terrain and light change definitely over a period of time longer than 30 minutes.
