Return to O'Hare in a Bonanza

- Four years ago I published my first flying video on CZcams, going to Chicago O'Hare in N70TB, my Bonanza. Join me as my friend Rob and I relive this experience, even though today we are dealing with instrument weather conditions.
Our flight today flight starts in Madison, WI, and uses the Janesville Eight STAR into O'Hare. From the STAR, we'll get vectors to the ILS 9R final approach course. Once on the ground, we taxi to the Signature FBO and catch a ride to the main terminal and CTA train station.
A couple of new things in this video: I used an additional camera to capture the flight instruments in front of me, in addition to the GPS navigator and my iPad. Also, this video was created in 4K resolution.
This is NOT a criticism of Martin or anyone else, just something for people to consider. @13:30 Martin asks to clarify if the assigned altitude is 5000. Obviously, it IS ALWAYS good to verify and ask when not 100% sure of instructions. Most airline crews set the new altitude in and THEN read back to ATC based upon what they set into the flight director. Or back in the day, before I used and FD, my ex navy instructor always insisted I write down ATC instructions (when not interfering with controlling the aircraft of course) and read back to ATC from that written record. There is much pressure placed on pilots to answer ATC quickly and keep the "flow." but the few added seconds it takes to set the altitude, move the heading bug, set a freq change in the standby position, set the altimeter code etc etc and then do your readback based upon actually reading those settings is minimal. With practice it makes us better pilots and helps to highlight errors before them become detrimental. Just my 2 cents :-)
Love that , type of IMC flying. !
Glad you enjoyed the flight!
- Martin
It’s always a pleasure watching your adventures.
Love flying with you Martin
thanks Terry
Thanks, Terry. I hope I'll be able to create a few more of those large-airport videos in 2019.
Regards, Martin
Martin Pauly, the epitome of German Precision and Excellence! ;)
Another great training video fo me. Well done keep them coming thank you.
Holy cow.....what an amazing video. Loved the inlays and as a new instrument pilot, it was great watching you put it all together. Well done Martin!
Thank you, Steve. Glad to hear you liked this video.
Have fun flying in the clouds! :-)
- Martin
Very well done. I would imagine having your friend tag along going into a class B in hard IFR, was helpful. If you were arriving from the SW at night, I would hope they wouldn't have put you on 10R. THAT taxi time would be brutal!
Yes, it was very helpful to have Rob along for this flight.
Taxiing from 10R to the FBO would indeed take a while - but think about all the airplanes we'd see along the way! :-)
nice video thank you from an retired airline pilote riemind me my younger days training on single engine aircraft.
Excellent overlays and great communication.
Excellent approach and great video. Thank you
Thanks, sosco22. Glad you liked it!
First time watching one of your videos. The picture-in-picture shots of Foreflight, Garmin and Instruments made for one of the better IFR videos I've watched. It allowed me to scan and decipher along with you in real time. Also, highlighting (through circling) important data on charts as you called it out, was also wonderful. Other CZcamsrs may flash to a full screen of the instruments, but having it up all the time was a huge difference. Subscribed and looking forward to combing through your other videos.
Thanks, Brian - I appreciate the feedback. I'll try to make more videos in this style.
Loved this solid IFR approach Martin.
Yes, it WAS a solid IFR day. And fun to fly!
- Martin
Great video, thanks for including the different displays of the panel and the GPS and all. Excellent job.
Great and complete video. The Best I ever seen. Congratulations Martin!
Thank you for the kind feedback. Glad to hear you like it - I plan to go to a few more Class B airports this year, so stay tunes...
Now that you mention it, that would've been a nice tour. Akin to an airshow!
Great job!
Another great production. Thank you for the education.
I worked in Canada during 2008-2013 and we had aircraft and crew from TUI. You have a twin from Germany. Brilliant bunch of guys and fantastic pilots.
Outstanding! Getting better each time, thanks for sharing!
great video. Love the information
Great video Martin! Thank you!
Very cool, Martin, enjoyed the flight!
Hey Martin, with the near minimum approach and with the steam gauge instruments, GPS map / traffic and approach chart overlay each in their section in the frame, pilots really do get the sense of the mostly 'silent' business of the cockpit at the approach and landing. These views together are without a doubt the best that a I have seen on videos. Please try to continue in this way - though I realize that it takes more time and effort from you. All this is besides the HUD you sported at the end. All together really well done ! This is my latest favorite.
Thank you, Dizzy Dean. I'll try to continue down that path.
Superb! Some people know some do not....merci Martin!
Absolutely outstanding !! Enjoy flying with you and learning. Thank you !
Thanks, Rudy! Glad to hear you enjoyed coming along through this video.
Now for the $100 fish and chips, baby!
Outstanding! Great video and great flying. Nice to have a second set of eyes.
Yes, even though the roles are not defined like they would be in a true two-pilot environment, it is definitely helpful to have another pilot in the cockpit who keeps an eye on things and speaks up when something doesn't look quite right.
Martin understanding this is NOT a instructional video, for a guy working on my IFR rating and a CZcams junkie following all the best Mr. Aviation, Flight Chops and Mzero.com this was the best video I have seen to date. The over lays are awesome and camera position perfect ! you can actually see the glide slope come alive! Bravo
Thanks for the kind words, Landon, and good luck for getting your instrument rating.
I'm with you Landon.....Really cool overlays Martin. Excellent job on editing and taking the time (I'm sure LOTS) to put this together. You can do more like these ANYTIME !!!
It doesn't hurt having an additional set of eyes and ears in the RH seat while in the soup either. Martin's video's are always top notch.
Great video as always! I especially liked the layout with the ipad, "four pack" and garmin all on screen. I think this is even better than the HUD at the end for us pilots who are trying to follow along with everything. Really appreciate all the work you put in to these!
Thanks, Stephen.
Great video. I have enjoyed all of your flying into the big Class B airports.
Thanks, flyscotth. Lots of Class B airports left in the country that I haven't been to yet - would be great to go to all of them one day.
Martin, thanks for the great video. The inset views are amazing and the flying was great too. For an old guy that can only fly from his recliner, this is great. Really helps to have someone to help out on a day like this. Thanks again for your videos!
Thanks for the kind words, Ron.
Another excellent video Martin! Thank you.
Nice work, nice editing, and really great having both side views, the front view, and the HUD (w/the ILS graphic, the plane position, & the HSI), when you were coming in. The only other thing I would have liked to have seen on that display (Boy. Picky, aren't I? LOL), would have been the Altimeter. But like I said: I'm being pretty demanding here. LOL
Looked like a perfect landing too. I"m assuming you wanted to make sure to land a little long, due to preceding traffic, and the assumption that the aircraft was large, to avoid any possibility of Wake Turbulence.
The best ever. Agree with Landon, great for us instrument students
Thank you very much, Russell.
Great, great clip. Thanks so much for posting these very nice videos.
Thank you, Sir. I'll try to make more of them!
I sold my 210 and am without a plane. Not sure I'm going back but your clips sure make it very tempting... Thinking about a C TTx...
Martin, beautiful video, lousy weather.
Martin, first class vlogs - just discovered you and most impressed with your airmanship and excellent informative posts. Love the Bonanza, so really glad I happened across such great content. Please keep up the good work - happy landings! David
Thank you, David.
nice video, nice approach... i got my instrument in 1980, without the exceptional avionics like you have, and all the inputs had to be done in my head. I feel a bit smug about that, but you ave very sharp and competent with the marvelous tools in your panel....
Patrick, I got my instrument rating in 1998 in a plane with dual VORs, ADF and a DME. The DME was considered luxury. I never cared for NDB approaches much, but I routinely flew over all the eastern US with just that kind of equipment. Today with GPS things are much easier, of course, but I believe have an advantage over the newer instrument pilots because the way we learned forced us to be pretty darn good with navigation and interpreting the instruments - whether we wanted to or not.
Regards, Martin
I just found you, amazing videos.
Hi Martin. GREAT video! I'm about to embark on my IFR rating. I own a Rockwell Commander 114 with the same KFC 200 autopilot. I wish I had the GNS and the Lynx! The way you displayed the overlays during your approach is amazing. I honestly haven't seen an actual IFR training video that could compare to the insight I gained from this video. Please keep posting!
Hi Grant, thanks for the note. The Commander 114 is a very nice airplane - I remember riding in one that we had available for rent at my home field in the late 90s, it was an almost-new 114TC. Very comfortable plane.
Good luck for getting your instrument rating. I bet you will find it very valuable; it opens many doors and will make you a bette pilot.
Great Video. Thanks for posting the price breakdown as always.
I find it interesting how very different the charges are at the various large airports in the US. Quite a span from Atlanta (lowest) to Boston (highest I've encountered so far).
Wow, way higher stress environment than I would like. Great job.
Thanks, Mark.
Haha, once you know ord you’ll love it. The best controllers in the country and they are funny too. You just need to know a couple things, don’t stop once on the ground, they’d rather you taxi without a clearance than cause a go around (just be aware they treat A and B as one way taxiways the direction depends on the runway configuration just do what the other guys are doing and you won’t go wrong), listen it’s imperative that you don’t miss your instructions, be very aware of the parallel runways ie tune the correct localizer even in vmc. Also, if approach doesn’t hand you off to tower just switch at the marker. Don’t be the guy that asks if they want you to switch, of course they do they just either got busy or forgot you won’t be yelled at for switching on your own.
Great use of the screen overlays, just like a HUD. Wouldn't have been a lot to look at without them. Great video as always, thanks.
True. To a non-pilot, these IMC videos where you see nothing but clouds must be almost like watching static. :-)
Hey, just heard you on the "Just Go Bike" podcast! So we share a love of aviation and cycling. Hope to see you next summer on RAGBRAI.
Yes, that was me - small world... :-)
And I will definitely be on RAGBRAI again next year. The only downside is that it's usually the same week as Oshkosh.
See you in July out in the corn fields. I'll be the one enjoying a pork chop and Iowa craft beer. Best wishes.
You and I both, Ed! If you see a guy riding with German flag, it's probably me.
Really like the HSI overlay on the forward view.
Yes, that does work pretty well.
Another good video, that's it, I'm subscribing !!! ; 0D
Graphics on this vid are amazing !
Glad to hear.
Hi Mrtin. Thanks for the vid - O'Hare seemed busy as usual. Nice to have some help in the cockpit!
aNOTHER GREAT VIDEO MARTIN.
Thank you, John.
Just found this video. It's weird listening to myself vectoring you for the approach for 9L. I'm the controller on 124.35. Cool video!
Well, thank you for chiming in here, Anulfo! One of the coolest things about social media (for me, at least) is when it helps me get in touch with someone who was also there - a controller (like you) or another pilot I heard on the frequency. It makes our already small aviation world more like family!
All the best, and thanks for keeping us all safe that day in the clouds!
- Martin
Aside from the fuel price, that parking bill wasn't too bad at all. I might have to try that sometime if I ever get a chance to fly a reasonably fast airplane. ORD ATC doesn't like working with too many aircraft slower than a Bonanza. (I can't make 150 knots in a 172. lol) I fly in the Chicago area and I've been flying for 5 years and I have never had the opportunity to land at ORD. Very cool.
Jon, if you want to give it a try, call the Tower or TRACON ahead of time and ask them when there's low traffic volume. My very first time at ORD was on a Sunday morning, and it felt like I was the only airplane landing there.
- Martin
Great video, thank you for sharing! Eines Tages...
Gern geschehen, Carsten - freut mich, dass es Dir gefallen hat.
Wo und was fliegst Du? Ich habe vor ewigen Zeiten (80er Jahre) am Grefrather Niershorst (EDLF) mit dem Segelflug begonnen.
Ich bin in Wershofen (EDRV) groß geworden, nicht weit weg. Mache immer noch Segelflug, demnächst auch IFR und fliege gerne in den USA (West Coast oder New England).
Wershofen... da war ich noch nicht, wohl aber auf der Dahlemer Binz und zum Wettbewerb auf der Mönchsheide, ganz in der Nähe.
VIele Grüsse, Martin
Really appreciative of video like this that are true real world instrument situations. As a pilot trying to finish up the instrument, it’s nice to see the full approach from far out including the set up, briefing and what really goes on when on an IFR Flight plan.
Around 12:30 and some other spots, you talked about what you were going to do but approach talked over you. In future expert productions, any chance of CC what you say if ATC talks over you?
Just got to 21:12, WOW! Very cool HUD setup!
Hi Michael, I'll try to find a good balance of just showing what happened vs. adding additional information, but sometimes a half-finished sentence will remain... If you'd like me to explain a specific situation better, please feel free to post a question here on CZcams and I'll do my best to answer.
Good luck for getting your instrument rating!
Don't think you videos aren't great or anything - they're the exact opposite and I think you deserve more love and subscribers. Just a small constructive criticism.
32:39 Ukraine! I'm from Ukraine) Very interesting video. Thanks.
Thank you! :-)
Hi Marty
I think it’s time for you to fly to Toronto.
Your vids are awesome.
Thank you, Capn'n Crunch!
Lot's of big airports left on my bucket list. Any idea what the fees at Toronto Pearson are?
Martin Pauly
Marty, stick to Billy Bishop airport. Much cheaper and you will have an incredible view of the Toronto skyline. With your flight and vids I am sure it will be EPIC !!!!
I'll keep that in mind, though right now I'm BasicMed here in the US, which as far as I understand is not yet recognized by Canada. Hopefully that changes in the future.
I'm in Montreal for work quite often and have flown over Toronto commercially many times, but my only time on the ground was in the late 1980s.
This may have been asked and answered but how do you like the Lynx Transponder? I am wavering between it and a Garmin to get ADS-B compliant. I need a new transponder anyways so I am going that route. And, the fees were interesting. Not bad for landing at a large commercial airport and having quick access to downtown Chicago.
Greg, I like the Lynx transponder a lot. I did a separate video about the installation, and why I chose that model.
czcams.com/video/bopcQSJKcD8/video.html
would sure love to fly with you going to a big airport.... like Houston intercontinental
Houston is still on my bucket list - but a bit far away from my home. I'll have to fly there as part of a larger trip someday.
Regards, Martin
@@martinpauly we need to go to Mexico not far from me but would like to make that trip with at least one other person unless I can't get out. LOL
Great video. Love the “HUD”. Question: what headset do you wear? Would love to see a review of them.
Thanks, Dustin. The headset is called "Halo", made by Quiet Technologies. Similar to the Clarity Aloft. I like the Halo very much, very light weight, no pressure on my ears, and good attenuation.
Martin, this is probably a FAQ for you, but are you up to four cameras now? Seems like it, and if so are they all some sort of gopro or do you have a mix? Thanks! Love these, especially that editing with the overlays of the avionics. Now that I think of it this might even be more than four cameras
Jeff, for this flight, I had six cameras on board, plus the recorder for the iPad and an audio recorder. Five GoPros (front, left, right, flight instruments, and one pointed at the pilots) plus a camcorder on a tripod that recorded the radio stack. Due to the clouds, I couldn't do much with the footage from the right and left cameras (at least not until the very end when we broke out).
I’ve watched a few of these vids, the ILS was the poorest I’ve seen, went outside tolerances several times, should have gone round!
Martin...great stuff, thanks so much! Fly a B36TC. Noticed from Doogy to zenah (4000 to 2600) your ias got to 195 kts.
Do you normally fly that segment of an approach that fast or were you trying to keep up because it was Ohare? Was there much turbulence?
Can you share your power/prop settings for that segment? Do you have speed brakes?
Thanks again! Wonderful!
Ken, the number you refer to is GS (ground speed), not IAS. There was actually a tailwind on final, plus I'm descending there, thus the high ground speed. I do try to keep my speed up as much as possible on approach at these very busy airports, makes it easier for everybody else. Power setting was (I think) throttle wide open, not sure if it was a LOP or a ROP mixture, and 2,500 RPM.
I do not have speed brakes. I don't find the A36 hard to slow down, and the landing gear can help if needed.
It was a bumpy day in the clouds, I do remember that.
- Martin
Martin Pauly
Ok thanks.... tailwind makes sense
Again great stuff
Any new videos on the horizon? Hope so, can't wait. Thanks
Chuck Martin Hi Chuck, yes, one will post this week, but it’s quite different from my videos so far. More like a training video, related to engine operations.
I need to find a few new destinations for some new flying videos. Eventually I’d like to make it to all the big Class B airports; I’ll try to make it to a few of those this year.
Any suggestions for specific videos?
Martin Pauly awesome, that’s great to hear! No suggestions as of right now, love what you have thus far. One thing that really confuses me is running lean of peak and rich of peak? Pros and cons of both? Thanks and look forward to the video!
I think you'll like it! Should be on CZcams in the next 48 hours.
I wonder why the ATIS mentions Flight Watch, which was discontinued in 2015.
My guess is the electronic ATIS is an older system , and they just haven't bothered to update that part.
Ach du bist Deutscher ? 😃
Ich finde deine Videos toll. Ist das eine Beechcraft G36 Baron ?
Ich habe Riesen Respekt das du teilweise ganz alleine fliegst.
Ja, ich bin am Niederrhein aufgewachsen. Ich wünschte ich hätte eine moderne Baron, aber das ist nicht meine Preisklasse. Ich fliege eine A36 Bonanza, Baujahr 1978.
Viele Grüsse,
Martin
@@martinpauly Toll, ich fliege leider nur im Microsoft Flight Simulator. Aber dank deiner Videos bin ich jetzt angefixt das nachzufliegen.
Schaue mir jetzt jeden Abend ein neues Video von Dir an. Einfach toll das du das teilst. 👍👍👍
Hoffe es kommen noch mehr......
@@finnm.4518 Aber klar - heute , am Freitag, gibt's wieder ein neues Video - darüber, wie man die Zündung ("magnetos") am besten testet.
great stuff Martin! what type of autopilot do you have on board?
Thank you - glad you liked it.
My Bonanza has a Century III autopilot. A little dated, but quite alright. 2-axis plus trim, and it'll fly a coupled ILS or LPV approach just fine (not in this video going to O'Hare, because there wasn't enough time for the glide slope coupler to get armed prior to glide slope intercept).
Martin Pauly awesome! Yea I noticed you setting the heading bug after you intercepted the LOC, figured something was up
If you are talking about what I did right around at the 20 minute mark, that was different yet... My Century III is pretty good at keeping the airplane on the localizer once established, but it's always smoother if I intercept the localizer first in heading mode. I did that a tad bit late on this flight and thus overshot the localizer, then had to correct back to the left a little bit. Once the autopilot was tracking the localizer, I was too close to glide slope intercept to capture the glide slope automatically - therefore I used the Century III's pitch wheel for descending on the glide slope, while tracking the localizer inbound. With proper glide slope capture, the autopilot would do it all by itself.
Makes sense - thanks Martin. I've been bingeing your videos lately, really unique and awesome stuff. What was your initial motivation to start flying into Class B airports?
That's a good question, and I don't think I have a really good answer for it. I know I've always been fascinated by large, busy airports, but not sure why. It could be the fact that it's a bit more challenging, or the fact that it's a bit out of the ordinary for the pilot of a piston-powered airplane.
What programme is showing your approach plate? thanks again martin
John, the iPad app showing the approach plates is called WingX Pro. Similar to ForeFlight, just happens to be the one I've been using since forever.
Martin, I love these videos and your attention to detail is excellent as well as your piloting skills - great use of checklists and calm approach. I will ask, are these trips just for leisure and if so on this O’hare trip how long were you actually in the city? Lots of time back and forth for a lunch (ridef to the terminal plus back and forth on the train) although it is fun :). In my neck of the woods, going to NYC for lunch would be similar - By the time I take the transport to the city, etc it could be hours and an overnight makes more sense. Just curious.
Thanks for the feedback, Jeff.
The O'Hare flight was just for fun, i.e. for the "big airport experience" - we probably only spent an hour in downtown Chicago before heading back. However, for many of my other videos (Atlanta, New York Kennedy, San Francisco, etc.) I was on longer trips and just chose the large airport over a smaller GA alternative.
Martin did you fly for TUI in 2005? You look familiar.
I wish, Kevin. I've never flown for an airline, or for a living for that matter. It's always just been a hobby for me.
Regards, Martin
As always great video! But have you ever considered getting a prop filter for your camera?
Thanks, Ron. I have a prop (ND) filter for the GoPro, but now that you mention it, I can't remember for sure if I used it that day or not. It's a bit of a trade off; the propeller artifacts are worst in bright sunny conditions and less annoying on a dark, gray day like the one in the video. The ND filter slows the shutter speed, which has its own side effects like making the picture a little softer.
I don't like these new 4k videos. All the details are too small to see. Especially the approach plates are impossible to see. Please make them larger.
Thanks for the feedback and suggestion, Ergzay. If I may ask, what device do you typically use to view these videos?
