"Light IMC" in a Bonanza
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 06. 2021
- Join Martin on a flight with "light IMC" weather - 1,000 feet overcast and good visibility below the clouds - for some practice approaches for currency in the Bonanza. As always, you can follow along the ATC communications and see close-ups of the Avidyne IFD GPS navigator. It was the perfect day for some instrument practice!

Saturday morning, cup of coffee, right seat with Martin. Don’t get any better!
Happy to hear that - I hope the rest of your weekend was fun, too! 👍
- Martin
Herr Pauly, thanks for another great flight video. I think your IFR videos inspire confidence in GA pilots to go out and stay current in IMC. Being from the Midwest too (your northern neighbor in MN) I think that pilots can grasp your diligence and application fundamental skills in being an active IFR pilot. Thumbs up well deserved.
P.S. I earned my tailwheel endorsement this week at Osceola Aerosport, Osceola, WI. Thanks for your motivational videos on this with the legend Doug Rozendaal.
Thanks for the kind words, Christopher. And 'legend' is quite appropriate for Doug, I think. 👍
- Martin
Martin, everything about this presentation is top notch. Professional in every aspect. Neither King nor Sportys could do any better. So impressed with your level of flying expertise, the narrative, expert avionics usage and videography. You were one busy guy in this video. Well done!
Thank you for the kind words. I love what I do, and I guess it shows a litte bit here and there.
- Martin
Excellent practice Martin. Thanks for sharing with us.
My pleasure, Steve!
- Martin
Nice one, Martin. Looked like a fun day.
It was a fun flight. Ceilings could have been a bit lower to make it a tad bit more challenging, but I shouldn't complain. 😁
- Martin
So fun to ride along with in. You’re videos. Thx
My pleasure, Mike!
- Martin
thanks Martin for the lovely work.
Thank you, Wael.
- Martin
That Avidyne box is so nice. I love the graphical depiction of the waypoints and the aural callouts.
Very nice indeed, Bill. It's so much nicer and more capable than the old GNS units it replaced.
- Martin
@@martinpauly It looks better and more intuitive to use than any other box I've seen on CZcams.
Thank you for the excellent IFR training video. Busy, busy with complex airplane, setting avionics, communication, verifying signals and explaining all this to your subscribers. Well done Martin!
My pleasure, Bill.
- Martin
Very nice! Thanks, Martin.
My pleasure, Bruce.
- Martin
Fantastic flying, love the way you refer to the instruments every step of the way. Thank you
Very nice videos Martin. Congratulations!
Good morning Martin, thanks for starting my Saturday with a video!
Thanks for all your videos. I love this one.
That’s a lot of multitasking! All while hand flying very smoothly. Great video!
Thank you, Jeff. Yes, several different things have to be juggled and prioritized while flying, more so in IFR than VFR. But it's fun!
- Martin
Thanks Martin!
Always enjoy the great examples you provide in your videos Martin. Thanks for all the great instructional videos. Hope to see you at ACCA next month.
Thanks, Preston. I won't be at ACCA; instead I'll already be setting up camp in Oshkosh that weekend. Planning to arrive in the North 40 on Friday before the show, same as last time.
- Martin
Well I have to say that was excellent piloting, Aviate, Navigate , Communicate. Thank you Captain for sharing !!!
Thanks, Manny - I appreciate it.
- Martin
Thanks for the currency ride-along , modern instrumentation & use nicely done.
Another Saturday morning videos. What a treat. Thank you Martin. For the awesome videos.
Enjoy your weekend, Archi.
- Martin
Martin, great Job!! Thank you for the flying, the recording, the editing, subtitling and everything!! Saludos desde Mexico… (greetings from Mexico)
Martin you are an inspiration. Thank you from Tel Aviv.
Thank you, Ron. Glad you are enjoying the videos.
Greetings from Iowa!
- Martin
Another awesome video Martin! I just did my IMC practice in actual just a few days ago. It's not very often that we get to practice in actual IMC in Denver so I had to take advantage of it!
Good on you for jumping on the opportunity! Instrument flying is a perishable skill which we have to practice regularly.
- Martin
@@martinpauly I totally agree! I just took off from Denver on my way to Palm Coast (Flagler Airport) Florida.
Another great video, full of knowledge, multitasking skills , Martin you are doing a great work, we are so lucky being here in your channel, thanks a lot Captain, all the best.
Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it!

@@martinpauly 🌹
Very informative video, thank you!
My pleasure, Zach.
- Martin
I was the guy you talked to standing in line for barbecue at Sun n Fun. Haven’t seen your videos in a while glad yo see your back up in the air and recording. Capt Dave
I remember our chat there - nice to hear from you through the CZcams comments. 👍
All the best.
- Martin
Great practice 🤙
Thanks, Chris.
- Martin
I cut my teeth...flying in Iowa, in the mid 60's. In later years I can to appreciate learning to fly in bad weather and windy conditions. Great vid as usual Martin.
Thanks, Mike!
- Martin
Nice video, thanks!
Thank you.
- Martin
Nice video Martin.
Thanks, Andrew.

Finished successfully!
Thanks as always for posting. You obviously picked a nice day for this. So private pilot students in the air. Just you and the IFR to O'Hare. It sounds like you helped keep the ATC folks awake. :)
Yeah, not much else was going on that day in Cedar Rapids.
- Martin
@@martinpauly I imagine your doughnut deliveries put you near the top of the ATC prioroty handling list every time the tower sees 70TB roll out of the hangar. :)
One of these days I have to meet up with you, Martin. Maybe you can give me a check out in the bonanza? Lol!
! ! ! AWESOME ! ! !
Auto Pilot Approved !
Next Time, ILS Hand Flying !
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It was nice to meet you in person this afternoon Martin at KVTI! Keep up the good work on the videos!
Nice to meet you and your wife, too, Mark. And thanks again for the t-shirt!
- Martin
@@martinpauly no problem! 👍🏻
Enjoyed this I will be working on this after I get used to my new debonair which will be in the shop for a while
Thanks, Kris. Best of luck for getting your plane in good shape!
- Martin
Pulling the engine this week sending it out for overhaul.
Another great video, Martin! Appreciate you typing in ATC comm (top of screen). Also, for those of us who have hearing issues, appreciate you enabling CZcams's automatic captioning (bottom of screen). Quick technical question: When posting a CZcams video, is auto-captioning something you have to manually enable every time you post or can you set that up once and it's automatically enabled every video. (So many CZcamsrs don't enable captioning which is very frustrating for hard-of-hearing subscribers.) Thanks for all you do for the love of aviation, Martin!
Hi Larry. I don't do anything special to enable CZcams's automatic CC. I guess the default is 'on'.
Best regards,
Martin
Great Video Martin , your catching up to me with the camera count !!!!!!! . I like to use the close up PFD/MFD cameras on some of my videos , it adds another dimension to the video . Nice work and nice conditions for practice approaches ..
Thanks, Aidan. Out of curiosity, how many cameras are you using?
- Martin
@@martinpauly I have 10 total , on my last flight I only used 8 but on some flights I’ve added in the dedicated PDF/MFD camera angles which is nice on the video when you can get close ups of flight plan , checklists , procedures etc ..
6 cameras! I don’t know how you manage all the data. Dan taunted me with a pic of 12PM next to 07TB this morning. Hope to get a pic of 8192P next to 07TB someday. Love your work. Keep it up.
We'll have more breakfast runs and thus picture opportunities. Thanks for joining this morning, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
- Martin
Thanks Martin, that was very interesting!! Thanks for sharing! (Flying and editing!!) JMHO --gary
Thanks, Gary - glad you enjoyed it!
- Martin
Another great video Martin, thanks a lot!!
Martin, I would like to see a video where you can demontrate your engine configuration in climb, descent and pattern and during IFR aproach!
Thanks from Edison Junior Braziliam Bonanza F33A Pilot!
Thanks for the feedback and suggestion, Edison. Let me see what I can do...
- Martin
Good one Martin! And you think about the people who just perished in the Citation crash near Nashville, TN in a plane that should have had equal or more sophisticated instruments than yours and Two Sort Of Pilots but who, it seems, didnt let the autopilot do the work and got in over their head in no more serious weather than you were in and on a climb out much simpler than your approaches and landings.
Thanks, James. The crash you cited is a good example that technology isn't the solution. When properly used, it can help, but it can also be a big distraction. For sure technology does not make up for lack of skills and experience.
- Martin
Thank you, as always helps make us better pilots. It has slowly crept into common ATC communication to use “please” and “any chance”. “Request”is short and abbreviated.
I'm trying to find a balance between brevity and the right amount of information. When I say "request", ATC has no way of knowing if what I'm asking for is a must-have for me or just something that would be nice. On busy frequencies I try to stay more on the "brevity" side, for obvious reasons, but Cedar Rapids isn't exactly a busy place. Would be curious to hear from ATC folks what they think.
Best regards,
Martin
Give it a try and practice. ATC will give more directive responses. Even CID can get busy and it makes the radio cleaner. The comment is more towards what is becoming a common pattern of speech by many in the ATC system. We never know when someone needs the frequency for an emergency.
Good practice is to say “CID Appch N1234 Request”. Wait for the “N1234 go ahead”. “CID Appch N1234 Request 4000”.
Another thing here is although ATC may be simpler in CID, many times these controllers are monitoring, or handling multiple frequencies. Although it may be quiet on your assigned freq someone may be talking in their ear on another. The becomes more true at late night and at less congested airports.
In the end it is not in the AIM under standard practice. Please and any chance I’m pretty are not referenced. Although someone may feel it brings good will it often clutters comm.
Thank you for setting the bar high. Great video.
Is the approach controller also working tower?
Looked a little heavy on 1 side I should be in the right seat to even it out!!!!!!!
Thanks for your kind offer to keep things balanced! 😁
- Martin
How do you like the electric checklists, they seem like a great tool once set up.
I find them very convenient, Kyle. I wouldn't say "game changer", but nice.
- Martin
Thanks, Martin. When they give you a heading, are you dialing it in for the auto pilot OR just for a visual reference for yourself?
Hi Dave. It's both. The heading bug is a good visual reference for hand-flying. If the autopilot is engaged, it can also follow the heading bug. So it's used in either case.
Best regards,
Martin
Hi Martin. I’m down here in Nashville and looking to purchase an A36 bonanza. What are your favorite years? Thanks James.
On that second one, did you register that she had mistakenly said cleared for landing instead of the option. I could see that being easily glossed over single pilot in the soup...luckily she came back and corrected herself.
Justin, I must admit, I did not at the moment realize that she had cleared me for something other than what I needed. Would I have noticed a few seconds later? We'll never know...
- Martin
I'm ready for my instrument checkride. I can fly all the approaches, holds, and other tasks. I have never intentionally "cheated" while wearing a view limiting device, because I would only be cheating myself, but I scared myself on my dual cross country. I was in the soup for about 30 NM and was given several quick vectors for the ILS into Pensacola while descending. I got disoriented and my brain went to mush. I had to ask my CFII to take the plane. Had he not been in the right seat, I would have been a smoldering pile of smoke in the ground. After the missed, I couldn't hold a heading in the clouds or really do anything right. I'm afraid to go back in the clouds. I'm doing my training in a 172 with 2 VORs and an ADF with no autopilot. I don't know how to get past this. I'm not afraid of many things, but I am scared to go back into the soup. I've spent considerable time and resources to get to this point, but I'm not sure I would ever trust myself in the clouds.
Hi Matt. The experience you had is not untypical, though it varies in intensity. Flying with a view limiting device is not the same as flying in the clouds. The reason is that with a view limiting device, your peripheral vision picks up cues from the outside world which help your brain put a picture of your overall situation and attitude together - subconsciously. If all your instrument flying experience is based on this, and then you enter a cloud for the first time, you are ill-prepared for what's to come. You just haven't trained for it - and that is the path for getting comfortable with real IMC: training with a good CFII. Over time, your brain will learn to ignore the erroneous sensations (your body telling you which way is up - but it's wrong) and trust the instruments. So my advice is: get back in the clouds with a good CFI, and over time things should work out.
Best of luck!
- Martin
Would you consider putting the 930 in normalize mode during run up ? This way you can watch the EGTs climb during mag check vs just an RPM drop. I have the 830 in my A36
I would do that to demonstrate the mag check to someone who sees it for the first time. Once you know what you are looking for, it's easy to see (and feel) on the EDM without switching to normal mode, i.e. you'll see all the bars go up very slightly.

G,day Martin from Sydney, Australia.
IFR APPROACHES
Using the Avidyne and approach plate information:
waypoint PAYLO 3000ft -COLNZ 2500ft.
Q1. Flying by 'hand'; how dose the PIC determine the rate of descent?
Notes; the Ayidyne gives time to waypoint!
A. ('Push the yoke in a bit')?
B. ('Watch the VSI')?
C. ('Guess')?
Thank you.
🌏🇭🇲
Hi John. The information on the Avidyne IFD makes that really easy. From the distance and time to the waypoint, to the VSR (vertical speed required), to the "Boeing Banana" - it's all there right in front of the pilot.
- Martin
Bet you're not wearing a sweatshirt now.....
Thank you for the video.
You are correct, Sir. Temperature is on the low 90s today.
- Martin
Maybe I didn’t hear correctly, but on your run up, you did not cycle the prop.
I did - at 5:40 into the video.
- Martin
Checklist: Trottle instead of Throttle?
I hope my flying is better than my spelling.
- Martin
Tree, fife, and trottle!
Martin, I love learning from you and wish you could give me CFI (cheap flight instruction)😱. You would be right behind an attractive woman for who could keep me engaged.
Practicing IMC in a single engine is just unnecessary risk
I couldn't disagree more. The risk of NOT practicing IMC far outweighs the risk of regular training and practice in those conditions. Lots of examples of accidents where pilots encountered IMC and were not prepared for it.
Ahhhh it’s a German accent lol
