IFR Approach and Landing in Madison, WI
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2021
- Join my friend Denis and me in my Beech Bonanza on an IFR flight from Cedar Rapids, IA to Madison, WI - most of it in solid instrument conditions. We'll see the programming of the Avidyne IFD GPS an how ForeFlight can help with providing charts and other useful information. As always with captions for the ATC communications.

Terrific flight Martin. I sure like how you think and verbalize your way through each and every flight. You’re so consistent with your habit patterns and never seem to get lazy with the brainwork. Nice job.
Thank you. Yes, saying things out loud is very helpful; it engages parts of the brain which would otherwise be idle, and thus it helps us be more responsive and more reliable.

Great flying along with you Martin. Good to see some real IFR.
Thanks, Preston!
- Martin
These are so educational. It's nice you point out when a better decision could have been made. Not often. Great stick and I tell all students to watch a pro in action
Thanks for the kind words, Terry.

My 2 favorite parts of IMC is breaking out on top into sunny blue skies and seeing the runway breaking out below.
Agreed, Kevin!
- Martin
Man, she pops right off and purrs like a kitten when starting.
Yup! 👍😁
Was there last weekend - Fort Collins, CO to Madison with a stop in Lincoln, NE. Was beautiful VFR conditions the whole way. The restaurant at the FBO in Madison is really excellent. Cheers, Michael - irish.aero
I agree, Michael - the JetRoom Restaurant in Madison is a family favorite.
- Martin
Great trip and great landing!
Thank you 😁
Excellent radio communication skills and discipline
Thank you, Shyam.

Martin, I love your videos and learn so much from them. I have an IFD 440 in my Long-EZ and working hard to get more proficient in its use for IFR flying.
Parking next to your dream plane is a sign, so make sure you have that lottery ticket ready. Thanks for the entertaining flight
Nest time I'll have to get that lottery ticket. 😁
That was a great flight to watch. Now I’m really happy. I just got my IPC completed. It’ll be nice to try to find some good weather to fly in. I never thought of the day that I would want to fly in bad weather as opposed to waiting for good weather. Instrument work is great work. However, most of us “Renters” don’t always have availability of airplanes with autopilot. Hand flying, single pilot IFR doesn’t allow much “sit back and relax” room!
These are well done, well edited and very educational. Smooth IFR operations with plenty of teaching points. Great job!
Thank you, Jim.
- Martin
That flight allowed me to remember my flying time in the clouds many years ago. The A36 was my favorite plane. I was able to anticipate your next moves but if I had any questions I was able to pause and go back for a review of the flight and comments. Keep the great flying coming.
Thanks, Bob - glad to hear you enjoyed the flight.
- Martin
Very Nice IFR, thank you so much.
You are very welcome!
- Martin
Martin, you make it look easy, but I know you do so much prep work!
Love your videos Martin! Thanks for another great ride!
You are welcome, Eric!
- Martin
There was no click bait on this flight. True IMC, WELL DONE!
Thanks, Al.
- Martin
Beautiful
Well executed. Thank you!
Thanks again for sharing, really enjoy your videos Martin.
Thanks, Bud.
- Martin
That's the kind of flying I love to watch! I also fly with Avidyne IFD's and love doing approaches in IMC. The IFD's with a decent auto pilot make the workload so much less! Fun video Martin!
I agree!
- Martin
Awesome video Martin. As always, thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you, Steve.
- Martin
Very interesting IFR flight thanks a lot for sharing it, we always learn something new with you, great work.
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it!
- Martin
Thanks Martin ...Another great one, like I was sitting right there. Love all the close up's of the panel. A dot high isn't a bad thing with our slower airplanes and long runway. I bet Southwest was a dot high and look what he had to do. Are you a CFII also ?
Thanks for the kind words, Bob. And yes, I am a CFII.
Best regards,
Martin
Excellent video. I really enjoy your detailed explainations thru the flight. Thanks
Glad to hear, Jake.
- Martin
Very educational vid Martin. Excellent views on all cameras. Thx for sharing.
Glad you found it helpful, Kan.
- Martin
Well done, great video 👍
Thanks 😁
Through all that soup! Enjoyed the ride! Love these trips in COVID times!
That "soup" is the perfect weather to stay proficient and sharp for IFR. I love flying in those conditions.
- Martin
Well done Martin!
Thanks, Mike!
Enjoy your Sunday.
- Martin
PAPI looks to be 2 white 2 red Right on Glide (Slope) Path. Nice one Bro.
Interesting flight!
Thanks, Harry.
- Martin
Nice Martin. 👍
Thank you 😁
Well that was definitely fun learn something
34:50 Ground point diner?!? I guess you were hungry after that flight 😂
I must have been 😁
👍☑ another good one, tks.
AWESOME SHIRT!!!! ;-)
I figured you might like it, Matt! 👍😁
Enjoy your Sunday.
- Martin
Nice job.
Thanks, Mike.

Pro Pilot right there
Thanks, Ryan.

In 26 years of flying 70-96 I met only one auto pilot that was worth it's SALT. It was in a new at the time Turbo Lance & it was 3 axis with LOC intercept. This was long before GLASS & Ipads. I carried 20lbs of Paper charts, Maps, & Approach plates. That was just Everything East of the Mississippi.
Anyway Excessive use (Reliance) on an autopilot does 2 things 1. Ruins your Instrument scan and 2. Diminishes your Hand Flying skill to the point when the Damn thing Quits (when you really need it) your now Schit out of luck. One thing you won't be out of is ADRENALIN.
I thought you have a PS Engineering 450 unit. I use the IntelliAudio feature all of the time. Amazing that our brains can process different sounds from each ear.
Yes, I do have a PMA450B from PS Engineering. Great audio panel.
- Martin
Great flying always; you even did better than the major. He went missed because of???
Great video Martin, Thanks. Question on why did you choose the ILS over the RNAV for 18? Thanks
Either one would have worked fine. When given a choice, I often choose the ILS these days because so many times the only option in an RNAV - so this helps me stay proficient with the buttonology for ILS approaches.

Martin
hi, been following you since you made the Drill video. keep up the profesional work enjoy and learn alot, thanks so much.Do you recomend those headsets of yours for general aviation pilot , are they any good and confortable and where can we get those ?
Thanks for the kind words, Andrew. The headsets I use are the in-ear style. I've used the Halo for many years and recently tried a new one called "Axis", which I also like very much. It has some improvements over the Halo.
Best regards,
Martin
I'm surprised the Avidyne only loads the FAF inwards when you select vectors. The Garmin 650/750 used to do the same, but there was a software update to load all the waypoints aligned with the final approach course. If you select vectors on the 650, you get everything starting from DECAL. It makes selecting vectors less of a trap than it used to be.
Right. Of course, the same workaround we had to use on the GTNs originally also works on the IFDs. Select any other IAF, then activate the leg you are going to intercept - done.
- Martin
Hey Martin. Another interesting flight. I haven't tuned in for a while. It looks like you are wearing a new headset. If you don't mind me asking, what are your thoughts on them? Thanks.
Yes, it's called "Axis". I like it. It has a few nice improvements over the Halo.
- Martin
Nice video Martin. I find dropping the gear one dot above (or a half line in your case) rather than at intercept, seems to capture the glideslope better.
So great to see these videos. Couple of thoughts. I would move your turn and bank to the blank to its left and re activate your radar altimeter moving it to the blank in the 6 pack where the turn and bank is presently. The radar altimeter becomes part of the 6 pack. Big safety feature.
Second idea is does the presence of the ILS identifier on the GPS qualify as identifying reception. I think it does. Nice feature on newer avionics.
Thank you again for wonderful videos Martin
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I'll consider moving the radio altimeter when the time comes for a larger panel re-do. And yes, the IFD decodes the morse code and shows the identifier, so reading this absolutely counts as identifying the NAVAID.
Best regards,
Martin
Great Video--any reason why you selected the ILS over the RNAV approach? Just curious.
We do so many RNAV approaches that an ILS has become kind of rare. So when occasionally I get the chance to fly an ILS, I like it for practice and also to verify my ILS receiver is still working.
- Martin
Love your videos but your panel seems not setup for IFR as you are always reaching over and looking to the right set side with your backup instruments right in front of you? Was this the result of adding incrementally to the original panel verses a planned panel upgrade result?
Nice video! What Ipad display system are you using? I’m still using a lap system due to the difficulty in finding a good spot in my Cherokee 235!
I'm using a RAM mount for my iPad.
- Martin
Ok, Are you attaching it to the floor?
@@PilotDiggerdavid No, I'm attaching it to the yoke.

Hi Martin. I have been flying my new-to-me 1976 A36 for about 50 hours now out of Kxnx. It has a RAM io-550 with gami injectors so I run lean of peak in cruise and the airplane likes that. Being a lean of peak pilot yourself, my question is at what point in your descent/approach do you swing back over to the rich of peak side to prepare for landing? Ive experimented with a couple of settings but haven’t really settled on a good standard. Thanks for your help. Jim
Hi Jim. Short answer is: I usually stay LOP all the way to landing. Unless a go-around is needed (which requires prop - mixture - throttle forward), the engine is perfectly fine lean of peak. Now, I also understand if pilots want to be prepared for a possible go-around, in which case you could advance prop & mixture so that they are already there, just in case. It's a matter of personal preference, and knowing whether you can trust yourself to handle three knobs vs. just one in case of a go-around.
- Martin
I’m kind of wandering if the commuter went around because of a slight tailwind. Looks like you landed beyond the 1000’ markers.
That could be true, yes. There wasn't much wind that day, but even a slight tailwind can make a big difference in a jet.
- Martin
In reviewing many flying posts, I have noticed that most do not fuel up until just before take-off. Why is it like this rather than fueling up after landing and putting the plane in the hanger overnight? I would think it makes more sense to fuel right after landing making the process better for take-off the next morning. Please explain.
Good question, Ted. The reason is that on most aircraft, fuel is such a high percentage of the total weight at take-off that the performance (climb speed, take-off distance, etc.) really suffers when we are heavier - more so on jets, but enough on propeller airplanes to consider it. Thus, not yet knowing where my next flight will take me and how many people/how much luggage I need to take, it makes sense to wait until the day of departure and only fill the tanks to the desired level. It's very different from topping off a car.
Regards,
Martin
Just Plain good is my remarks. I do have a question or two. As a novice I assume you would not recommend a person to learn in a Bonanza? If not I have sightd on New 172/182 [ With Horton STOL, next town over]? If you bought new (which I intend to do) Would you buy a G36 or look for a used A model?
Hi Larry. People have learned to fly in a Bonanza. It can be done. It will definitely be more work to get to the private pilot certificate that way, but it can be a viable path if your goal is to get confident in a Bonanza as quickly as possible. It will also be very expensive to get insurance in a Bonanza as a training aircraft, but it may still save you money over the alternative path of buying a simpler airplane first and then selling that to buy a Bonanza.
G36 vs. older model: You will get different opinions here, and there is not only one correct answer. I will share how I look at it, but encourage you to solicit other opinions before you decide. The G1000 flight deck of the G36 is fantastic today; however, it leaves very little room for you to add or change anything down the road. That was already a problem in the past when LPV approaches were introduced, and when later ADS-B was mandated. It took support from both Garmin and Beechcraft to make those things available, and without any competition, the price tag was high (no surprise, I guess). My point is: you will pretty much be stuck with the flight deck you buy. And maybe that's OK, because as I said it is an excellent flight deck today. But if you plan to keep the plane for many years, you may feel better knowing you can do upgrades in the future.
Another consideration is useful load. The G36 empty weight is much higher than the older A36 models, so there is less of an allowance for fuel, passengers and luggage.
Many (myself included) consider the 1979-1983 models as the sweet spot. They have the 28V electrical system, the extended baggage compartment in the back, and the option for the throw-over yoke (which creates legroom for the right-seater and allows easier access to things like circuit breakers).
I hope this helps!
Regards,
Martin
@@martinpauly Perfect I may still lean on the 172 cause I know I can get it down in my alfalfa or think I can. Why not buy both, money is no object is it? LOL The G is to heavy and long winded for power lines. Stay safe out there. Love what you do.
@@martinpauly Addendum. Do you feel the ground effect esp in cross wind makes the G36 an easier bird to land VS the 172 or should a guy just start in the high wing?
@@MrCobb-rq8iv The Bonanzas are much, much easier to land in gusty winds and crosswinds. In comparison, the 172 is like a little balloon that gets bounced around. If you are looking for a simple trainer that is closer to a Bonanza than a 172, I would consider a Piper Warrior or (better yet) Archer.
- Martin
Martin, what headset is that?
It's called Axis.
- Martin
@@martinpauly How does it compare to QT Halo?
@@gh0stagent401 They have more in common than what sets them apart. The Axis does sit a little more stable on my head, though, and the mic stays in place better. Music sounds a tad bit better on the Halo, but they both sound fantastic for voice.
- Martin
@@martinpauly Thank you for the details Martin!
Nice videos but your sponsor is not..
