Hi Matt. I am from India and I have been interestingly watching your vlogs since your first flight. Your videos have been very exciting and inspiring for youngsters. it has also been very informative for people who have absolutely no aviation knowledge. I am an ardent fan of you and eagerly look forward to every new vlog you post. Keep posting more of your adventurous activities. Keep it coming Matt.
Haha yeah, I don't know what happened there... I'm wondering if I said "not feeling sun chips right now" and the mic just didn't really pick up the "not"? Or I'm just crazy, idk
Hi, Matt, Just Curious But i am in a Software Construction Class and Doing Advanced Java Coding Wondering, What API's Application Programming Interfaces. Would make Flying easier, I am reverse engineering the IPAD technology VIA ODIN Alliance hoping to create Virtual layout panels and taking the IPAD Technolgy to the next level. I guess you Use the GPS a lot but my question would be when you are flying in bad conditions and you end up using your instruments. I noticed you were Going to MIT for Computer Science. Steven
Great video once again. Pretty much exactly what I look for in a flying video. Really enjoy the talk about weather decisions and understanding where you are at on the approach. Keep it up!
Thanks! Yeah it was pretty awesome. And it was also really cool in the clouds, they were just glowing an orangish pink from the sunset, but the camera didn't capture that very well.
Beautiful example of the utility of GA, and the value of plane and pilot being IFR certified. Great video Matt, excellent flying, makes me wanna go somewhere tomorrow. Glad I found your channel !
I don't know how you stay that calm flying in pitch black in the clouds ☁️ just watching that made me feel disoriented. I'm thinking any panic or anxiety could cause for a bad night !!
Thanks Matt for offering a unique look behind the scenes of flying and aviation. I love it, like many followers I started on the world trip with JP and Louis. After watching all the vlogs, I liked yours the best. Very informative and interesting! And I’m hooked on this flying thing. Thanks again, Mark R.
Great job on asking for a different heading to get the altitude you need to bail on the icing. No guy in an ARTCC is ever in charge of your aircraft, you are, great job of maintaining that relationship. Towers never bore smoking holes into the Earth when things go wrong. Kudos.
Like someone else said, you've great decision making skills, and piloting skills to boot. I'd fly with you anyday. Great channel, thanks for no music and keep up the great work.
Oh my my--- your living the life I always desired but so glad someone like you is doing it. If your ever down my way in Lynchburg Va. ah be sure to drop in cautiously . An Old disabled Vietnam Vet would so love to tag along especially on your way to Sun & Fun spring 2019.
i just started watching the Bahamas trip and a few hours later here I am watching the rest of the videos and I have to work tomorrow. lol Awesome production.... this is a great way to learn too!!! ------- ------ Pretzels in IMC
Thanks, glad you liked it! Funny story -- a couple years ago, a friend of mine and I were flying home at night, and he tweeted a photo and said something like "landing in Aberdeen at night," and the Aberdeen, Scotland tourism board or something retweeted it (apparently thinking it was Aberdeen, Scotland) and then a bunch of other people from Scotland ended up retweeting it too. We thought the whole thing was pretty hilarious since Aberdeen, SD is basically a small, flat 5 mile by 5 mile grid, and it seems Aberdeen Scotland is absolutely nothing like that.
This may be biased, but jasper county is the best county in Indiana. I wasnt aware there was an airport in Rensselaer though. I guess I haven't seen all of that town. Hopefully I can learn to fly soon.
Flew with my father who owned a Bonanza in the 60s and your instrument steering setup looks similar except for the digital gauges. It was called the Debonair and I think after they discontinued the V tail they're all called Bonanzas.
Hey Matt, In the clip that starts at 4:18 it looks like the nose of the aircraft is swaying back and forth a bit. Assuming you're on autopilot here, but is that normal?
Ah cool. I bet if you replaced that beacon light with a flush mounted one (idk maybe an stc out there) you would pick up 1-3kts in cruise and who knows it may even help with the yaw stability. What's a normal cruise speed for you btw?
Spotted the Soylent! Question from a (currently) non-pilot: how do you plan for, say, an engine failure in instrument conditions? Normally you'd keep an eye out for suitable places to land, right? But what's the procedure for doing that when you can't see land? Great videos, btw! I love that you subtitle them (and do it well!)
16:57 - "you got a string of O'Hare aircraft coming overhead. Could any pilot explain a little bit what it means? It'd be awesome! Is it a "disturbed air" after a bigger aircraft above or the aircraft's course ("string"?) is above? Thanks!
Excellent videos! Thanks for sharing! Do you use GoPro all around or a different cam for night shots? Impressed with the low light shots not being that degraded. I have issues with my GoPro 3 Black cockpit shots at night.
Thanks, glad you like them! In this video it's GoPro's all around, except that the forward (window mounted) view is a Garmin VIRB. Low light is definitely a problem though, so that's why the icing encounter toward the end is just a timelapse instead of a video (taking stills you can use a longer exposure time to get more light), and the cockpit view at the end is just the panel because everything else just showed up black (both of those were with the Hero5, everything else was a Hero3+ Black). The Hero4/Hero5 are definitely better in lowlight than the 3/3+ though.
Thanks! Somewhere around 2000ft/min, the Bonanza does down pretty well (with the gear and flaps), so could have actually made it even a bit steeper, but turned out I didn't need to anyway
If you don't mind my asking, what's the estimated cost of a flight like this? I know you lease the plane and use it for speaking events and promotional stuff so it mostly pays for itself, but I'm wondering what the cost of a personal trip like this comes out to be roughly between rental costs and fuel. I've been looking into getting my PPL but the daunting cost of plane rentals after ~$10k for the certification kind of kills the dream.
hey man. I just discovered your videos, and I love the multicam setup and the different popups for charts etc.. Really immersing. On the views taken from the starboard cam clipped on the window, it looks like the G500 screens are shaking / looping, but all the others screens or objects are fixed. But on the other views it does not seem the G500 screens are shaking. Do you know why this appear like that ?
Thanks, glad you like them! In short, it's a combination of the viewing angle/screen brightness and the fact that the shutter speed of that camera was faster than the refresh rate of the G500 screen. The camera between the seats had a neutral density filter on it to reduce the amount of light so that a slower shutter speed can be used to avoid a similar (but more distracting) flicker from the propeller. The side camera didn't, so the shutter speed has to be faster to achieve the same exposure.
Thanks, I'm happy you liked it! I usually try using pretty different music throughout, but I thought it'd be fun to try using the same track in different ways on this one.
Great videos Matt, thanks for sharing. I've followed you in one form or another since the start of your around the world adventure. How many hours are currently in the logbook?
Great to see an experience pilot dealing with ice in a non-ice airplane. Such a grey area. No doubt Airmet Zulu was in effect. Does forecast icing always = known icing? Isn't there some room for discretion? Most say takeoff is not legal anytime Airmet Zulu is going, which is most every cold IFR day up North. If all ends well, the FAA seems to be ok with it, if there is a problem, well... not so much.
Essentially the FAA's position is that if an aircraft limitation prohibits it, you can't fly into known icing conditions -- "where a reasonable pilot would expect a substantial likelihood of ice formation on the aircraft based upon all information available to that pilot." Their full interpretation: download.aopa.org/epilot/2009/090126icing.pdf In this case, the only AIRMET for icing conditions was in the area where I encountered the icing on the second leg (where I'd been requesting a climb for several minutes before actually entering the clouds and finally getting a climb once I was picking up light clear ice). And based on additional forecasts (the supplementary icing forecasts I show in the video, as well as forecast freezing level and Skew-T forecast soundings), I knew there was little chance of encountering ice in any of the areas where I was intentionally flying in the clouds and that if I did encounter any, I had several exit strategies (primarily down to relatively high forecast freezing levels and also possibly behind me where there hadn't been ice) and that it would likely be very light at worst.
Well said. With today's precision ice forecasts and a little discretion & escape plans, flights can be made safely at times even when Airmet Zulu is in effect. We don't need to be VFR all winter. You encountered ice a couple times, escaped from it and operated safely even with Airmet Zulu. If there had been pireps ahead for ice, no doubt you would have diverted. A great video.
Curious as to how comfortable the seat is there. I notice a lot of pilots really hunch their backs in their VLOGs and some of the seats seem to offer no lumber support. Is seating ever much of a concern for pilots?
Back in the day, alcohol was used. Now, the TKS Ice Protection System, manufactured by CAV Ice Protection, is a fluid-based ice protection system used to help aircraft safely exit in-flight icing conditions. The system uses a glycol-based fluid to cover the critical surfaces of an aircraft and prevent the risk of any ice forming on the leading edges of the wings. The system can also break the ice that has accumulated (chemically). Developed by Tecalemit-Kilfrost-Sheepbridge Stokes (TKS). I grabbed that from WiKi, sorry. Was easiest. Also, plenty of unpressurized, prop driven planes use deicing "boots", also some have thermal protection on various flight control surfaces.
Nice Vid as always! Pretzel vs Sun Chips, then Sun Chips for sure (but I would rather have Ketchup Chips :-P hahaha, my excuse is that I grew up in Canada) Anyway, Interesting to see the difference in icing in GA... verse... those at the place I work, our SOP consider it icing condition whenever there is visible moisture and TAT is below 10C and down to SAT of -40C... so we need to turn on our engine anti-ice... Interesting to see! But anyway cursing at 12,000ft eh, that's pretty high ;-)
Haha thanks, I've never tried ketchup chips. It's nearly impossible to get ice on critical surfaces when the TAT is above 0C, so I think that's probably just an extra precaution, but if I couldn't fly in anything under 10C (no anti-ice/de-ice), I'd never fly in clouds for most of the year :) Definitely need to always have an out in visible moisture below 0C though (and only be there in the first place if there's forecast to be no icing).
Matt Guthmiller Yeah, I think that's just airline being conservative... although we do fly in condition with bad icing so being conservative is good hahaha... you should do a cross boarder flight and maybe head to Canada somewhere to get some ketchup chips... wakakaka :-P
i'd say jet engines create a low pressure area in front of the fan at the front of the cowling. and with lowered pressure the air temperature drops momentarily and you can get icing above 0C TAT. above the wings the effect is probably much weaker but still lower pressure than with a non-turbo plane :)
Well depends what you mean. First solo ever, definitely. First long cross country (like an hour), a little. First really long cross country (like 8 or 16 hours), not at all.
What do you do if you have to go to the bathroom those prop planes take while to get somewhere I guess a plastic bottle works hope you don't have to do the other I kind of like the big planes I can just use the restroom. I could see the fun in landing at small airports lots of them all around.
Land somewhere fun, or this if that's not an option: th-cam.com/video/W9Uf-ynoDUE/w-d-xo.html p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #e4af0a}
Let me guess if Chicago ended up listing him as a "no call" after confirming his landing or crash for that matter its taken as the same thing as a missing plane or one that's no longer in communication with FAA controllers?
Matt, As an Airbus Captain I would have you as my copilot anyday. Very professional... good work!
Thanks!
christian smith please first officer copilot make me want to stick a fork in a toaster

Hey Kartik, thanks so much, I'm happy you like them!
Lol "I'm feeling sun chips right now" eats pretzels.
XD I noticed that too
Haha yeah, I don't know what happened there... I'm wondering if I said "not feeling sun chips right now" and the mic just didn't really pick up the "not"? Or I'm just crazy, idk

Great video once again. Pretty much exactly what I look for in a flying video. Really enjoy the talk about weather decisions and understanding where you are at on the approach. Keep it up!
Awesome, thanks, I'm happy you liked it!
That view @11:10 is amazing! Great video btw.. your production quality is getting better and better w/ each new video. Keep them coming!
Thanks! Yeah it was pretty awesome. And it was also really cool in the clouds, they were just glowing an orangish pink from the sunset, but the camera didn't capture that very well.
Beautiful example of the utility of GA, and the value of plane and pilot being IFR certified. Great video Matt, excellent flying, makes me wanna go somewhere tomorrow. Glad I found your channel !
"Can we get it on another heading?" Fantastic! 👍🏻
Thanks!
Yeah, smart move. ATC is there to serve.
I don't know how you stay that calm flying in pitch black in the clouds ☁️ just watching that made me feel disoriented. I'm thinking any panic or anxiety could cause for a bad night !!
It could, that's why you have to stay calm! :)

Another great vid Matt. Very entertaining and educational. Well done.
Thanks, got a lot more on the way! (Latest one just dropped today)
Great job on asking for a different heading to get the altitude you need to bail on the icing. No guy in an ARTCC is ever in charge of your aircraft, you are, great job of maintaining that relationship. Towers never bore smoking holes into the Earth when things go wrong. Kudos.

Really digging these vids man! I'm excited to be subscribed so soon cause I know this channel is gonna get huge!
Thanks, glad you like it!
i just started watching the Bahamas trip and a few hours later here I am watching the rest of the videos and I have to work tomorrow. lol Awesome production.... this is a great way to learn too!!! ------- ------ Pretzels in IMC
That panel looks awesome! I've got about 700hrs in Bonanza's but mine had mice on running wheels behind the panel!
That's how this one was when I first flew it! Bonanza's are amazing machines.
Yep they are. Keep making the vids! Cheers.
how does a Bonanza compare to a Piper Arrow?
quite different. Bonanza is a lot faster... climbs faster and carrys more payload.
Don't tell Louis, but I think you're right about the Bonanza. That's a great looking airplane. Especially the panel.
Great vlog! I myself live in Aberdeen Scotland, UK and work at Aberdeen Airport (ABZ/EGPD).
Thanks, glad you liked it!

Great flying videos!! I was able to see you speak in RC last April at the Day of Excellence, very inspiring!!
You crack me up with all of your snacks!
Great vid Matt. U got a sweet avionics suite. Thx 4 sharing.
Thanks! Wish I could take credit for it, but it came like that :)
Flew with my father who owned a Bonanza in the 60s and your instrument steering setup looks similar except for the digital gauges. It was called the Debonair and I think after they discontinued the V tail they're all called Bonanzas.
Very informative Matt! Thank you!
You might enjoy a pair of Rosen visors. Good looking panel.
Thanks, yeah, the stock visors aren't the greatest.
Great piloting skills, great video - thanks.
Thanks!
fantastic panel, and smooth flight, great job.
Hi Matt. Eagerly awaiting for your next Video
Should have stopped at Griffith 05C or Gary Jet Center for fuel!
Thanks for sharing and fly safe!
Fuel was cheaper at RZL (and the weather was a little better too)
Aren't you supposed to check ELT's at the beginning of the hour to 5 minutes after the hour??
Hey Matt, In the clip that starts at 4:18 it looks like the nose of the aircraft is swaying back and forth a bit. Assuming you're on autopilot here, but is that normal?
That's just a little light chop. The Bonanza's fairly unstable in yaw (and there's no yaw damper), so that's not unusual in turbulence.
Ah cool. I bet if you replaced that beacon light with a flush mounted one (idk maybe an stc out there) you would pick up 1-3kts in cruise and who knows it may even help with the yaw stability. What's a normal cruise speed for you btw?
I'm aware of a couple LED options but don't think any are flush mounted. I get about 165-177 depending on altitude/weight/2300vs2400RPM.
You are so proffesional! What do You prefer: glass cockpits or classic ones with a garmin on the side?
Don't drink the lemonade on his flights.
Amazing stuff as usual. Very professional
Thanks!
That was me last night at Chatham airport. Nice to meet you guys. Did you get food at the Chatham Squire?
We did! It was good, thanks for the suggestion and saying hi.
why no backup steam gauges in the bonanza? Beautiful aircraft, by the way
Nick Manning backup is EFIS on left. Separate battery system.
this video is awesome, love the avionics in your plane, cant ask for more than that lol, i fly a c172 with g1000, your setup is awesome
Thanks, I'm happy you like it! I used to fly a couple planes with the G1000, but I do like how this just lets you do more at once.
Jasper Co. Indiana... my home town! Not a lot of traffic around there.. hehe

ABR - The airport ramp area is lit up with a ton of lighting - but it is out of hours so they must have a good budget for lighting ?

How high was your rate of descent when you dove through the clouds? Love your vids!
Thanks! Somewhere around 2000ft/min, the Bonanza does down pretty well (with the gear and flaps), so could have actually made it even a bit steeper, but turned out I didn't need to anyway

At 3:47 this is exactly what it feels like when I fly with Cmdr. Fravor in our tic-tac.
You are super cool and a super pilot!!!
Haha thanks!
What a gorgeous flight well done
Excellent videos, thx for sharing!
hey man. I just discovered your videos, and I love the multicam setup and the different popups for charts etc.. Really immersing.
On the views taken from the starboard cam clipped on the window, it looks like the G500 screens are shaking / looping, but all the others screens or objects are fixed. But on the other views it does not seem the G500 screens are shaking. Do you know why this appear like that ?

Thanks for taking me along your trip. Always wondered about the instrument with the 6 vertical bars. Cylinder head temps?
The blue bars are EGT, the green ones are CHT
wots dat small digital artificial horizon, beside ur Garmin g 500/600? i have an aspen efd 1000 . i like it
This is very inspiring to watch. How did you Finance your License and lateron, the plane? Flying sure is a costly passion:)
Solid vid, and sick panel!
Thanks!
Matt... Nerve wracking but great video. You are sure one cool headed guy!
Nice vlog man, when did you start to learn how to fly because I'm 15 and I was thinking about starting
Awesome, go for it! I was 16 when I started, but I'd have started younger if I could have.
Well flown young man cheers
The music makes for a nice TH-cam video.
Thanks, I'm happy you liked it! I usually try using pretty different music throughout, but I thought it'd be fun to try using the same track in different ways on this one.
Great vid Matt. Not need oxygen at FL12?
I fly out of KBJC. Let me know if you are flying here and I'd love to say hi. Have a good night bud and safe flights!
Cool, I'm hoping to make it out that way sometime this summer, we'll see!
Great videos Matt, thanks for sharing. I've followed you in one form or another since the start of your around the world adventure. How many hours are currently in the logbook?
Thanks! I'm at 1465
This is an old video but the question should still apply. How do you refuel when it’s raining without getting water in the fuel tank?
you usually just try to shield the opening as best as you can. water is heavier so it will sink but best to keep it out as much as possible for sure.
i was waiting for your video to get uploaded
Yeah, sorry, I had 4 midterms in 3 days last week :)

Matt, what was your OAT prior to making your first stop?
Hello Matt, you post some great videos! How do you mount your GoPro on the wing like that? I can't seem to figure it out.
Hey Dylan, thanks I'm glad you like them! I use this mount on the wing: amzn.to/2mpcOT0
Your flying out of lawrence municipal airport?
Yep!
live around there and enjoy the airport.
what's the music on the beginning of the video? sounds awesome
Shake Down by Gavin Luke
Thanks!
Sun Chips or mini pretzels?! Did you rob the Delta Air Lines 1st class snack basket?
How do you finance all the flying you do?
Did you edit out the, "hour to make a water bottle a pee bottle"? lol. thank you for that :)
Lol I think I had just been drinking pretty continuously at that point, so you see it just how it happened!
One of the reasons I don’t like reciprocating props; the don’t have anti icing. It’s takes 20k to get out of the moisture layer.
alessio272 plenty of piston engine aircraft have anti ice capabilities to include prop deice
Buck Buchanan they use alcohol over the icing surfaces?
Back in the day, alcohol was used. Now, the TKS Ice Protection System, manufactured by CAV Ice Protection, is a fluid-based ice protection system used to help aircraft safely exit in-flight icing conditions. The system uses a glycol-based fluid to cover the critical surfaces of an aircraft and prevent the risk of any ice forming on the leading edges of the wings. The system can also break the ice that has accumulated (chemically). Developed by Tecalemit-Kilfrost-Sheepbridge Stokes (TKS). I grabbed that from WiKi, sorry. Was easiest. Also, plenty of unpressurized, prop driven planes use deicing "boots", also some have thermal protection on various flight control surfaces.
awesome flying and video my friend!!! subbed
Thanks, happy you like it!
you need a Mu-2. The Mitsubishi is tricky but once you have the special training,it will be ok
Nice Vid as always! Pretzel vs Sun Chips, then Sun Chips for sure (but I would rather have Ketchup Chips :-P hahaha, my excuse is that I grew up in Canada) Anyway, Interesting to see the difference in icing in GA... verse... those at the place I work, our SOP consider it icing condition whenever there is visible moisture and TAT is below 10C and down to SAT of -40C... so we need to turn on our engine anti-ice... Interesting to see! But anyway cursing at 12,000ft eh, that's pretty high ;-)
Haha thanks, I've never tried ketchup chips. It's nearly impossible to get ice on critical surfaces when the TAT is above 0C, so I think that's probably just an extra precaution, but if I couldn't fly in anything under 10C (no anti-ice/de-ice), I'd never fly in clouds for most of the year :) Definitely need to always have an out in visible moisture below 0C though (and only be there in the first place if there's forecast to be no icing).
Matt Guthmiller Yeah, I think that's just airline being conservative... although we do fly in condition with bad icing so being conservative is good hahaha... you should do a cross boarder flight and maybe head to Canada somewhere to get some ketchup chips... wakakaka :-P
I make it up there every now and then, so I'll have to try to find some next time
Matt Guthmiller z
i'd say jet engines create a low pressure area in front of the fan at the front of the cowling. and with lowered pressure the air temperature drops momentarily and you can get icing above 0C TAT. above the wings the effect is probably much weaker but still lower pressure than with a non-turbo plane :)
Matt on your first long solo fligh were you nervous & how long was the flight ?
Well depends what you mean. First solo ever, definitely. First long cross country (like an hour), a little. First really long cross country (like 8 or 16 hours), not at all.
Nice flight. Like your video technique......
The avionics in that airplane cost a fortune, is that a club airplane of your personal one if you dont mind me asking
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
why do you always fill up gas after landing rather before departing?
do you breef your flights
Matt. you should start another channel with airport restaurant reviews. call yourself the Gourmet Aviator!
On a long flight what do you do if you get a mother nature call? Hope you don't mind the question Matt ?
Empty water bottles (in the video actually)
What avionics and navigational systems do you have ?
When are you coming to KPWK?
super funny at 3:25 I am eating Harvest Cheddar Sun chips as i'm watching
Love your style. How the heck you stay so calm?
Just always figured worrying's not going to help anything
Well, you're right, but you must be genetically blessed with extreme optimism. I just can't function that well. Much props.
What do you do if you have to go to the bathroom those prop planes take while to get somewhere I guess a plastic bottle works hope you don't have to do the other I kind of like the big planes I can just use the restroom. I could see the fun in landing at small airports lots of them all around.
Land somewhere fun, or this if that's not an option: th-cam.com/video/W9Uf-ynoDUE/w-d-xo.html

What's the impact on performance when you mount a camera on a wing?
Probably about 1 knot
Nice one Matt mate :)
Thanks Andy!
Damn fine flight... You need an STC for a pee tube.... I had one in my Cherokee 180
Thanks. I've considered a relief tube, but bottles just seem easier.
LOL! Less cleaning too!
Exactly
very nice vlog ! What's the music's title ?
Is there a pressure cabin in N367HP?

What do you do when you are at cruse?
Depends what's going on, but anything from monitoring the weather and everything else to listening to music or taking pictures, whatever really
Tell us what the music is in your videos please .
Let me guess if Chicago ended up listing him as a "no call" after confirming his landing or crash for that matter its taken as the same thing as a missing plane or one that's no longer in communication with FAA controllers?
If you can't get them on the radio when you land, you just call on the phone.
