Well that's some view of ATL and downtown I rarely see, nice flight and a greaser at KFFC !
Thanks 😀
- Martin
Good morning!
Perfect view of button changes. ty
Thanks - that's what I was trying to get across.
- Martin
NICE ONE Martin !!!
Thanks 😁
- Martin
Always love the close ups of the panel and what you're doing, thanks!
Glad you like these instrument close-ups!
- Martin
It’s always a pleasure flying along with you.
Very nice video - I always learn something new !
Glad to hear that!

Nice flight Martin. I always learn
something from your flights. You flew right over my home airport KRYY. Thanks for posting
Thanks - and yes, I got a really nice close-up view of McCollum Field on this flight.
- Martin
Martin visiting Gryders and Glenn's neck of the woods 👍😁
Thanks for the ride Martin. AAA quality video production. Lakeland beckons!
Glad you enjoyed it!
- Martin
Bravo! PS nice panel, Martin…
Thank you, Christine. I am very pleased with how everything turned out.
- Martin
Nice that you got to fly over this time. The guy from Atlanta Approach was really nice and helpful. (Maybe he's a fan. : )
I sure enjoyed flying that route through the Bravo, but I don't believe it's an uncommon thing in Atlanta. All the Bravos are different - slim chance of doing the same in Chicago, but from what I heard, Atlanta is more easy-going for VFR clearances into the Bravo.
- Martin
@@martinpauly Thanks Martin. Yeah, I think you've flown into more Class Bravos than a Senior Captain for AA, so your word is Gospel. By the way, I don't think you've seen my Comment to your "Lean of Peak (LOP) Engine Operation Explained" video. Maybe because the vid is about 5 years old, but my comment is from a few days ago. (Better late than never. Right Ludwig? ; )
@@Cousin. Oh, I saw your other comment come up, but I am busier than ever and far behind on responding, unfortunately.
- Ludwig Otto
@@martinpauly Ausgezeichnet!
Of course, maybe it wasn't as funny as *I* thought. LOL
Yes, I completely understand. As swamped as I always am, it's mind boggling to me the things you get done, and the number of things you're always doing!! I'm honored you respond at all.
I hope you had lots of Fun and Sun down in FL. It's still freezing here (well, to me), and raining, with a slight respite during Easter. So my dad and I haven't picked up the Plane yet. (It will be a 1,400 mile trip up to Newport, OR and back.) Once I get it down here and get going on that, I'm going to see what I need to really do to get to AirVenture.
Hey Martin, great video as always. i'm getting ready to have a new panel built and was studying yours. i noticed that during the video it is showing that your right main gear is down in both places.
Yes, Jim. It was a wiring issue, which has since then been fixed.
- Martin
Hi Martin. Great video as always. I had to chuckle when you said "Not many airports to land at, 20 miles away" Come fly in Canada where sometimes you're 200 miles from the nearest. So nice to fly in the US as you have so many airports to choose from. If you ever do make it to the north on the west coast let me know. Cheers and keep up the great work. Very professional!
The view of ATL was incredible. I was thinking about how many large Class Bravo's you've either overflown or landed at and it's a long list. Those videos are always a treat to see those airports from a GA perspective.
Thanks, David. I still have a lot of the Class Bravo airports left to go.
- Martin
It is a pleasure 'flying with you', very detailed videos.
Glad you think so, and thanks for the feedback!
- Martin
#3 cylinder EGT gauge not reading occasionally...what am I missing.......and what great camera angles in this video.....good stuff
You are not missing anything. It was an intermittent wiring issue. It's been fixed since then.
- Martin
What an awesome experience!
👍
right main gear light is still illuminated with gear handle up.
Yup. It's since been fixed.
- Martin
That Bonanza climbs like a 737
Great video, Martin.
Glad you enjoyed it!
- Martin
Falcon Field is my home airport. I keep my Baron there. Wish I had know you were coming, would have been cool to meet you. Great shots of the city and KATL. I landed my arrow at ATL during Covid. It was pretty cool.
I'll be back at Falcon Field sometime. Karl Gardner and his team at Gardner Lowe are great people!
- Martin
Beautiful flight !
Thank you, Emilio!
- Martin
Great video thanks for sharing! Can you please explain again why you have chosen three panels in front of you, instead of one Garmin, I don't understand the benefits to this
Thanks, William.
This question gets asked a lot; here is a little more info about my choice: martin.aero/wordpress/?page_id=328

Very nice video indeed. I love those flyovers .. especially when someone else has to do the work and handle the radios, LoL. KATL is actually quite compact in surface area. compared with spread-out airports, KSFO and KLAX are also remarkably compact compared with their traffic counts. I really enjoyed the look-see, I've been in and out of Hartsfield so many times on business trips but it was great to see it all laid out before me. Thanks again.
Good observation about the relatively small surface area of KATL.
- Martin
Great video Martin, as always! Is it not possible to transfer the flight plan from the ipad to the garmin via bluetooth? Just saw you doing it manually on the ground.
Hi Martin - what service are you using to receive PDCs? Thanks, great video!
They let you fly VFR through the Atlanta Class Bravo at 4500 feet?? Wow! You are privileged!! Thanks for letting us fly with you again, Martin.... I just got home from my 5th day in a row working on my annual. I am very tired and stressed out. Hopefully, we'll be done Monday. You're video was very relaxing.
Pretty common.
My understanding is Bravo clearances are quite common in Atlanta; in fact, you can hear another pilot get one in this video besides me. Not all Bravos are like that, though.
- Martin
Great flying! The perspective from the air is unbeatable! Qwk ?…Would an A36 w/IO520AB be a no go for you now that you have flown the IO550 for a good while? Thx
Thank you!
An A36 with an IO-520 is a great airplane. Where the IO-550 is great is if you are often flying at higher altitudes, or close to maximum weight. Especially in the summer. Just depends on how often you operate close to the performance envelope.
Having said that - there is no question that the IO-550 makes the A36 a better aircraft.
- Martin
You should consider visiting the other Falcon Field (KFFZ) in Mesa, AZ (Phoenix area)). It's a pretty active airport and a bunch of Bonanza folks. Even might do a Spruce Run (Aircraft Spruce) to Corona CA or there is a easy flight to San Diego (pick your airport, SD has Great Sailing). But now would be a better than after May as Phoenix turns into a Furnace.
Thanks, Ted. I wish that area was a little closer. Nice at is it this time of year, it's just too far away for anything less than a weeklong trip.
What made you decide on the triple Aspen setup over something like a G3x? Would assume that it would communicate better to the rest of the system considering everything else is Garmin.
Great flight though, probably flew right over me (ramp rat in ATL).
Why Aspen... a lot of people have asked that question; I have a bit of an explanation here:
martin.aero/wordpress/?page_id=328
Thanks for keeping things organized at ATL. I fly Delta a lot and have connected through ATL many times.
- Martin
Also the approach charts, can be displayed only in the ipad?
Great video, How friendly were those controllers...... Try doing that in the EU, you would need Ursula von-trapp der Leyen's written permission!
Haha - yes, we live in General Aviation paradise here in the US. The funny thing is that most pilots in the US don't realize how good we have it here.
- Martin
I left Peachtree Dekalb heading South VFR once. There is no clearance delivery on the ground and Atlanta approach wouldn't take me. I had to navigate around Atlanta airspace on my own. I flew over downtown Atlanta at 800' AGL in a 182. It was pretty sketchy. I didn't bust any Class B airspace, but it was pretty close a couple times.
Hi Martin. Are you using Garmin Pilot now?
👍☑️👏
Thanks for the video Martin. I have a question regarding the Garmin autopilot. When you put in an altitude in the GTN750 for a waypoint crossing restriction, does that altitude get identified by your autopilot and capture the altitude when you arrive at it? I believe that you have the GFC600, and that autopilot is not available for my V35A, so I would have to go to the GFC500. I currently have an S-Tec 55X.
David, I have a GFC500 and you can do what you describe. Garmin calls it VNAV, and it's a mode on the AP control. Couple different ways to use it and a crossing restriction is one of them.
Nice flight Martin, where in size does Atlanta Hartsfield airport fit, it is massive It must be behind Denver though which is huge.
I never asked the question do you fly a lot for business? Safe travels
Thanks, Mike. I had to look up the answer; best I found is:
science.howstuffworks.com/transport/flight/modern/biggest-airport-in-world.htm
It shows KATL isn't in the top 7 in terms of area. Denver is huge, though, surpassed only by King Fahd International Airport in Saudi Arabia. However, KATL is still by far the busiest airport in terms of passenger numbers (2022 data), and also by aircraft movements. To achieve that on a relatively small area speaks to the efficiency of the operations.
- Martin
@@martinpauly Thanks Martin.
Great flight, quite busy at times but sure nice of the controllers let you thru the Bravo airspace. Thanks of sharing.
Thanks, Ken. I understand a Bravo clearance in ATL is a fairly common thing, unlike some other places (e.g. Chicago).
- Martin
Hey Martin, another good one, and what great scenery you crossed there.
I’m not based Stateside, but isn’t IFR just the best way to go…..!? Give or take the odd routing change to unfamiliar waypoints, the ATC system there seems to look after you pretty well.
As a matter of interest, how easy would it have been to revert to IFR hypothetically, if you’d wanted to, after crossing Atlanta VFR?
Also a couple of engine questions….. Your CHTs and EGTs are nicely balanced, can’t remember if you’ve had the GAMI treatment or not? That said, I’ve just listened to Mike Busch telling us that the sweet spot for cruise CHT is around 340F (not much cooler, to help with lead by-product scavenging) and Engine Oil Temperature 180C. Appreciate there are very good reasons for not running too hot, but your Continental and my Comanche’s Lycoming both run a bit cooler than that, at least on some of the CHTs….. should we be concerned?!
Thanks Martin, great stuff.
You could make a switch from IFR to VFR and later back to IFR, all on the same flight plan (according to the Opposing Bases podcast, though I have never tried that myself).
Regarding the engine... there is no need to "balance" EGTs and CHTs. Contrary to popular belief, a nice even-looking line of EGT bars says absolutely nothing about the engine. Also, while Mike and I agree on a lot of things regarding engine management, I do not share his claim that one should avoid cooler CHTs than around 350 deg F. I have seen no data that cool CHTs cause lead deposits, nor have I heard other engine experts make that same claim. My understanding (from the "Three Amigos" from Ada, OK) is that when the oil is warm enough, so are the cylinders.
- Martin
Thanks Martin always good to hear your feedback.
Yes, re. Mike Busch’s discussion on overly cool CHTs, I think he was heading down that path after quoting various engine oil manufacturers’ preference for oil temps around 180C, for peak oil performance.
Bill Ross of Superior Air Parts, the engine folks, is very vocal about not running too cool on the CHTs. See his presentation podcast on YT to the Cessna Flyer Association. He also talks about how internal cylinder pressures that are too low (due to over leaning) run the risk of exhaust gas byproducts seeping past the piston rings, which are not seating properly due to those low internal pressures.
Isn’t it amazing how this subject continues to be somewhat divisive in the industry? For me, I’m happy that the science of leaning to the lean side of peak has won the argument generally, except for those few phases of flight when a rich mixture is actually needed.
My Lycoming IO540 shows oil temperature consistently around 180C, even with some quite cool CHTs (occasionally high 200s on one cylinder, mid to low 300s on the others during cruise). That said, my rear two cylinders (5 & 6) get quite hot in the climb, (a little over 400F if I don’t reduce power a bit) and this is where I’d like to see a more even balance of CHTs.
You’re right of course, even EGTs are not hugely relevant.
I’m not GAMI equipped (yet) but am looking at fuelling and baffling currently.
Thanks Martin.
When they ask you to cross a waypoint at a certain altitude, do you immediately start heading for that altitude or do you have to wait for a certain point to go to that altitude?
I can but don't have to begin my descent immediately when I get this kind of instruction. What I do depends on how close to the endpoint of the descent I am - often I wait a little before starting down.
