Good stuff, tried it on my IFD trainer, could load 2 approaches but couldn't do it for the same airport to practice 2 different approaches at the same airport
I was intrigued so I flew your flight on FSX in a F33 Bonanza with a Garmin GTN 650. Your Avidyne really does make it easier being able to pre load both approaches. Thanks for doing this video!
@@martinpauly You can also do a wheelie along the runway just before you take off, Bryan will keep you right! Just don't let Bryan fly, last I saw him he had a huge drink (or four) and a steak.
@@JustPlaneSilly Just kidding Bryan, I know you wouldn't fly and drink, you would finish it first! lol Ha Ha Martin will do a wheelie on the front wheel on take off! lol
Great video. Very helpful. I’ve got Avidyne 540 and two Garmin G5s and I’m still learning tricks! Went to Avidyne training and still learning! It was like a firehose over two days! Great job!
Martin, this is great stuff. Do you have a video somewhere that shows how to put two approaches to the same airport in the Avidyne? You talk about it as your #2 reason (Backup Approach) but the demo only shows different approaches to different airports.
I don't have a video of it, but it's fairly easy to do if you add the same airport twice into your flight plan. Then you can select a different approach for each, and merge them together in any way you see fit. - Martin
Martin, excellent learning on the IFD! I appreciate it since I have the IFD540 myself. It’s a great unit! I had forgot, according to Avidyne manual, you can load multiple approaches at the same time so it was great to see it put into action. I could also see using this procedure by putting in your alternate approach as well. Thanks again for sharing! Don/NE Ohio
Martin, great info on the Avidyne IFD540. I have had mine about 9 months now and I really enjoy it in the cockpit! It appears your getting quite comfortable with yours. Now your instrument panel is screaming for a new Dynon Skyview HDX!!! :-) Don/NE Ohio
I'll be there - arriving in Lakeland on Monday, if all goes to plan. Easiest way to find me might be at one of my presentations. Look for my name in the forums listing once it's published. - Martin
Great videography, Martin. You are an ace. I love this feature and always use it when my Garmin buddies are along on my IMC practice approach sessions or when my Garmin instructor/friend is giving me an IPC. However, I struggle with modifying the sequence when ATC changes a runway or some other change forces an airborne modification of the pre-entered sequence. I also wasn't able to put in two different approaches to the same airport the other day in mid-sequence. I think I also have problem putting in a return-to-home-airport approach after doing a home-airport approach either at the start of the sequence or later in the sequence. I'll take better notes when this happens so I can discuss nuances with you. As Christine (at Avidyne tech support) once told me - 'It seems like the 540 was designed by a pilot' because it was. What a great piece of equipment. Coupling it with G5 electronic flight instruments makes IMC flying so easy and so enjoyable.
Hi Todd, you bring up some good points. The "multiple approaches" capability of the Avidyne IFDs is another tool available to us pilots, but that does not mean it is always a useful thing in every case. I think it is very useful if there is a short-paced sequence of approaches with little probability of changes. I have yet to get an EFIS. It's encouraging to have so many more choices available today than just a few years ago. It'll happen for me at some point... but first I have to get my new engine ($$$). Best regards, Martin
Nice, Martin. I have been doing this in the Garmin navigators from the GNS forward by setting the additional approaches up in the flight plan catalog. That requires one additional step, loading the next plan. It does the job, but the IFD seems to do it more gracefully. Something to pass on to my Avidyne peeps!
Awesome. Thanks for the Avidyne videos. I’m working on flying a procedure and then setting up the next one at the same airport. Sometimes it loads but sometimes it’s difficult. I may be missing the notes on the screen like stopping the missed procedure and then trying to load the next approach while it’s trying to go missed.
Thanks, Tim. I believe the thing people struggle with when setting up multiple approaches at the SAME airport is: that airport needs to be in the flight plan multiple times then, once for each approach. Otherwise you'll end up REPLACING the previously loaded approach, as opposed to adding a new one. Best regards, Martin
Yes, I didn't log these approaches, obviously. It's hard to find weather here in Iowa in the winter which allows me to log approaches - when it's cloudy, we usually have icing. Good thing spring is coming! - Martin
@@robincole5739 Probably not. If a trip takes me to the area, I would go to Dulles and check off another Class Bravo airport. The airports closer to D.C. take a lot of work to get approved for - I won't be in the area often enough to make that worthwhile. - Martin
Martin Pauly Interesting. I don’t think I have ever heard that on my system. Do you have ForeFlight Bluetooth into your headset or how do you get into the video. It was a great video. As a new IFR pilot it’s very instructive. Keep up good work.
hi Martin. Thank you for videos like this. Is there any way to load the SID in IFD for the airports along the route? it seems as if I can only load SID for the Origin in FMS.
Yes... Over the last year, starting with version 9, WingX had become pretty buggy, and I wasn't sensing much urgency from the vendor to fix what was broken. - Martin
Good stuff, tried it on my IFD trainer, could load 2 approaches but couldn't do it for the same airport to practice 2 different approaches at the same airport
Avidyne has the greatest quipment. Love seeing it in action. Thanks Martin.
Thanks, Preston!

Gr8 Approaches Martin...Avidyne systems are amazing with the loading of multiply approaches...great maneuvers!!!!
Thank you, JR!

I always enjoy your stuff. I hope I get to fly with you one day!
When that day comes, Bryan, we should file IFR - no matter how short a flight it is.
- Martin
@@martinpauly HAHA!!!!! Hilarious.

Hi Martin, can u plz make videos about VOR intercept inbound and outbound radial with different angles sutch as 45 degree and 90 degree. Thx
There are many videos out there explaining VOR navigation quite well. Have you practiced this with an instructor?
Regards, Martin

Very nice example of the functionality of the Avidyne. I enjoyed meeting you at In the Hangar.
Thank you, Sir - and likewise! It was a fun weekend in Fort Worth.
- Martin
Hello Martin, I have an Avidyne 550 and 440. Thank you the lessons. I hope to see you at sun & fun 2020
I can't wait - only four weeks until Sun 'n Fun!

You’re a top tier Bonanza driver, Martin. Thanks for the ride along.
Thank you for the kind words, Curtis!

Great stuff Martin! I have an IFD440, love it! Now you just need to add dual G5's to the panel!
Depends on his autopilot?
Thanks. At some point I'll get an EFIS - but one thing at a time...
Next up is a new engine.

hay there Martin, great Vlog and learning Idea very well executed via the practical demonstration - you seriously should become a CFI
Thanks - I'm working on it! :-)

Martin Pauly that’s what I figured. Thanks
Wow, I just noticed on roll out, the GPS AGL said 0 feet! I'd say that's pretty accurate. Thanks for the video Martin. Tschuss!
Yes, GPS and WAAS work pretty well!
- Martin
Great video Martin, we looking to upgrade our system. Too bad you couldn't log those two approaches though, all that fuel for us viewers to enjoy.
Yes, I didn't log these approaches, obviously. It's hard to find weather here in Iowa in the winter which allows me to log approaches - when it's cloudy, we usually have icing. Good thing spring is coming!
- Martin
Martin great video where was the audio coming from when you landed iPad ?
Hi Al, it was from ForeFlight. I record an HDMI out of my iPad, with video and audio. That's what I use for editing.
- Martin
Good demonstration Martin. Excellent planning ideas. What’s the make & model of your cool iPad mount?
Hi Robin, the iPad mount is from RAM - just a standard order from their website.
- Martin
Martin Pauly Thanks, Martin.
Have you thought about a trip into an airport in the D.C. restricted zone?
@@robincole5739 Probably not. If a trip takes me to the area, I would go to Dulles and check off another Class Bravo airport. The airports closer to D.C. take a lot of work to get approved for - I won't be in the area often enough to make that worthwhile.
- Martin
Martin. The voice announcing the distance on approach, is that from ForeFlight or your avidyne unit?
Hi Al. That voice is from ForeFlight. The Avidyne has a few sounds/voice also, but it did not get recorded on this flight.
Regards, Martin
Martin Pauly Interesting. I don’t think I have ever heard that on my system. Do you have ForeFlight Bluetooth into your headset or how do you get into the video. It was a great video. As a new IFR pilot it’s very instructive. Keep up good work.
Martin. Thanks for your videos. What make of audio panel do you have?
Hi Richard. I have a PS Engineering PMA8000BT.
- Martin
Watching the landing with a crosswind was interesting to say the least .
Martin how do you get the foreflight announcements on the video recording?
Hi Joel, I record an HDMI out of my iPad, with video and audio. That's what I use for editing.

I see you switched from Wing X over to ForeFlight....any particular reason?
Yes... Over the last year, starting with version 9, WingX had become pretty buggy, and I wasn't sensing much urgency from the vendor to fix what was broken.
