Not an abreviated call nor a slured word on the entire trip. What a great example for us all! Can't get over that central engine instrument consolidated panel. That is progress!
I was an ATCO at Midland Radar, a military regional area radar in the UK. We were for military but always welcomed civilians on freq. One such was the daily Reckitt & Coleman plane ( a foodstuffs company). The pilots know us well. We were always helpful in time and fuel saving as well as 'avoidances'. One time just before Christmas I (cheekily and jokingly) asked where was our 'Christmas Box'. "On its way" came the reply, and sure enough the next morning an articulated lorry arrived with literally hundreds of Hampers each full of goodies. The entire base enjoyed them :) Grand fellows.
That's a wonderful story, and a nice way to say "thank you". As a pilot, I know first hand how much of a difference it makes when ATC is helpful and cheerful. Having a good relationship between pilots and controllers is helpful for everyone. Best regards, Martin
After watching the video, I listen to it while I’m at work, often more than once. Amazing what I miss the first time, gawking at the beautiful camera work. The audio keeps my head in the game. Mission success! 🇺🇸✈️😎👍
Out of curiosity, Mike - what's an example of something which didn't register when you first watched the video, but then it did when you listened to the audio later? Thanks, Martin

Camera angles are wonderful. I'm ex-USAF enlisted and I was stationed at Camp New Amsterdam (Soesterberg) '78-'80. The one Dutch habit I couldn't wrap my mind around was mayonnaise on their frietjes. Ketchup was hard to find. But boy their pastries! Yum!!!
Martin, you are a man after my own heart. I have a bakery in my old hometown of Beatrice, Nebraska. It is always my first stop whenever I go back to visit my daughter and brothers there. I guess we were all born with that one tooth that just has to be appeased from time to time. Beautiful flight. Pella Airport looks like a very nice airport, a lot like the one in Home Town Beatrice. Thanks for this great video Martin. Today hit 80 degrees here in Houston.
Thanks, Preston. And I got more than a little jealous when I read "80 degrees". It is slowly getting milder here - above freezing today for the first time in weeks - but still, not what I would call pleasant weather. Best regards, Martin
The pastries are a very thoughtful gesture and the scenery along the was is absolutely beautiful. Thank you again for the great video, we love watching and learning from you.
I know what you mean, Jerry. I spend way more "close up" time with the snow than I want every winter. I like it for the first week or so, and then I am ready for the next summer. - Martin
Thanks, Rusty. Yes, the snow looks nice on the screen. In real life, at temperatures around zero Fahrenheit, it gets old quickly for me. But it's warming up to slightly above freezing this week - yeah! - Martin
I like the new camera angles especially on the engine controls. Well done. I learned to fly at the University of Dubuque over 40 years ago and have flown in that area a lot.
Scott, the area probably hasn’t changed a lot but the flight department certainly has. They had to find a couple hangars to put all the helicopters and additional Cessnas. Might as well change the name to the “University of Dubuque Regional Airport” by what my Jet Center source tells me.
Hi Martin. I just came across your channel. As a retired center controller, it was fun to watch. Thanks for taking care of ATC with pastries. I'm sure they're very much appreciated. Safe flying and best wishes!
Hi Ricky, thanks for the comment. Yes, the controllers love those pastries, and I do, too. They are good and helpful people, so I don't mind dropping off some goodies every now and then. Best regards, Martin
That was really cool of you to do that. I bet it made their day just to know that someone appreciates what they do in there. Thanks for bringing me along and until next time blessings to you and your family.
First of all, I love your mission! Good man. And personally, I can *also* see flying 63 NM for a good Bakery; or good Ice Cream. Although, the latter is probably not on your interest list at the moment. = O But here in CA… So the last 3 days (Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday) it's been about 80˚, clear skies, & no wind. To split hairs, Monday was the nicest: I was sitting outside in shorts & no shirt, speaking to someone in D.C., who was in the middle of an ice storm. The Temp/Dew Point spread was 18˚C (32 and half ˚ F!), and thanks to that, I was outside at 7:15pm, with no shirt, and still comfortable! LOL OK, so I haven't even been using the heater in the house, but OTH, you're able to own a Bonanza & send 3 kids to College, so there's the trade off. : ) If it makes you feel better, it is cooling down tonight. (Below 50˚!! Inhuman!!) But it will probably be warm tomorrow. ; ) So back to your video: I really liked the camera placements, and your use of zooming in with the editor. It’s great for an instructional/informative video, while keeping it entertaining. (In comparison, my video edit was focused primarily for entertainment only.) When you mentioned using Tracking Shots (the Camera moving) in this video, I was imagining that you would have one on a mount, automatically moving back and forth slowly, then editing for what you want. (Since technically, all the cameras with outside shots are "tracking", because they are moving, and you're busy flying, I figured this was how you'd facilitate that. : ) So it looks like that's what you did on the Panel Shot (Let me know if I'm wrong.), which was great, because before I even caught that, I was thinking that I could see the instruments from more angles that you had cameras, when you did certain cuts. (You had mentioned having 6.) I thought this was a great idea, and worked out well.
I was referring to a different video when I mentioned camera tracking. This one: th-cam.com/video/t3ZO0GggMqk/w-d-xo.html In Blender, I selected tracking points on the ground and computed a solution for a camera, which I then used to create the overlays that label the streets and places. It's what we do here in Iowa on cold winter days, I guess 😁 - Martin
@@martinpauly Ah yes. You *had* told me 'City Lights'! Duh. (This is what happens when I'm bouncing around watching videos, and then replying later!) And I DID look for that in "City Lights", and was thinking you did do what you described above. I know I commented on "City Lights", but I must have forgotten to comment on that aspect, and was then looking for it on this video, as it was in the back of my mind. Anyway, I really did like what you did w/the Graphics on "City Lights". (I think I commented on that.) So did you have one of the cameras behind you in this video, automatically slowly panning Left & Right? That's what it looked like.
All I can say is BLUEBERRY MUFFIN! Love Love Love flying with you. I'm working on getting my Adirondack wing cam videos up. It's a lot of work, thanks, great job as always Martin!
You made me very hungry for Jaarsma. Haven't visited our daughter for a while and our regular Saturday morning bakery run when in town. Hoping they will have their fly-in pancake breakfast during Tulip Time this year.
Thanks, Phillip. And remember, there is no magic to skills. They say "practice makes perfect", and while I don't think perfection can really be reached, it's pretty well established that the more we practice and train, the closer we get. All the best! - Martin
Really enjoyed the video. Brought back memories of my bride and I making the hop from KILG to KGED for our favorite pastries in Lewes DE. In the summer we would pick up crabs from our favorite place and fly them home. Good times thanks to GA.
It's nice to have some missions for the airplane beyond just flying. Flying is great - don't get me wrong - but when you add some utility, it gets even better. - Martin
That back view camera showing your rate of climb made it look like you were flying in a fighter jet as quickly as you gained altitude! I'm going to tell my wife that I need to get my pilots' certificate so I can go get pastries for our tower personnel...and then have to explain the fact that we don't have a tower here! I'm sure she'll buy it!
Hi Keith, yes, the climb rates this time of year are impressive, with density altitudes a couple of thousand feet BELOW sea level. Add to that the new 300HP engine, and it feels like I'm flying a rocket! Best of luck with that conversation with your wife! Make sure to mention that you can fly her to weekend destinations, spa visits, far-away restaurants, etc. 👍 - Martin
Great views as you flew cross country especially with the snow! Enjoy all the camera angles giving us an immersive flight. Did give a like even though I missed out on the pastries!!
I wish I could record inside the tower, Mikey's, but these days even visits (without camera) are a big no-no. Hopefully that will change after the pandemic. - Martin
@@martinpauly The "down and back" camera was a bit disorienting at first, but I got over it. You'll have to adopt the flight name "Sweet Tooth One" for the ATC folks. I'm sure that would get you expedited handling, not that you need it in Cedar Rapids!
Thank you for not showing any cream horns at the bakery like you did on a previous trip there. I’m addicted to those things, and after I saw those I had to go out and buy some! Not good for my waistline. Great video while I am snowbound at home, and my plane is snowbound at another airport after the annual was completed.
Yes, those sunny winter days are very bright. Even at night you can almost see the snowy ground clearly, especially with a full moon on a clear night. - Martin
Hi Martin - two quick dumb questions (remember I am not a pilot so apologize in advance). After departing (8:55) on course 250, ATC cleared you to 6000 and direct Patela. You read back - “cleared to 6000 THEN direct Patela” . Were you required to achieve the altitude before turning direct? Wondering if there is a sequence to multiple ATC instructions. Q2 - your approach to land was cross midfield, then a near 270 degree right turn for a left downwind -base-final. Could you have flown to a waypoint SW of the airport runway, made a slight right turn and made a direct approach? Just curious. Love these videos, keep up the great work!
Hi Randy. Thanks for your comment and questions. (1) It's a bit hard to hear in the recording, but I said AND, not THEN, in that sentence (i.e. "6000 and direct Pella"). It sometimes happen to get ATC instructions that are sequential (i.e. do one thing first, and THEN do another thing), but not in this case. (2) Pattern entry at uncontrolled airports like Pella is less about saving time and more about safety. Pella, like most airports, default to left turns only while in the pattern, which avoids having two aircraft face each other on base leg coming from opposite sides - which could be a bad day for all involved. While it takes an extra couple of minutes to fly over the airport to the correct side for the pattern and then enter the pattern using the teardrop turn (i.e. turning the long way around), it did give me more time to descend to pattern altitude and to watch for other traffic around the airport. Best regards, Martin
I don't have one, Robin. I do have a dehydrator for the whole hangar, for the summer, and I also vent the crankcase after each flight (just by taking the oil filler cap off). - Martin
G, day Martin from Sydney, Australia. A SWEET EPISODE * generous filming of the Bonanza avionics and Avidyne LCD. * the cold weather must be giving the engine better combustion in the cylinders? * Couldn't ask for better VFR conditions. Good stuff 🌏🇭🇲
Hi John, the cold air definitely improves engine performance. My engine's power is limited by the amount of air (oxygen) available for combustion, and since colder air is denser than warm air, the cylinders will have more oxygen available for combustion and power generation than on a warm day (everything else being the same). Best regards, Martin
Hey There Captain Martin ! Another Uneventful Flight ! That’s Good ! ! ! And So Many Crucial Details That I’d Like To Point Out . First Of All, Off Course, Pela’s Treats, No Doubt About That ! That Said and As I’ve Already Mentioned in a Previous Video, Your iPad’s Safety Call Outs Software (Or Program, Or Whatever), For Me It Is As Important (Or Even More) As The RWSL - Runway Status Light Sustem, Wich Can Prevent RWY Incursion, Therefore Preventing Possible Catastrophic Events Like, Tragically, The Worst Accident In Aviation Until Today, That Took Place in Tenerife North - GCXO - in 1977. I Believe This Rwy Incurson Voice Alert Should Be, If Not an AD - Airworthness Direction, At Least a Recommendation For The General Aviation, Perhaps All Aviation. It's Not Unusual, Unfortunately, Experienced Pilots From Commercial Airlines Entering The Wrong TWYs and Even, Once in a While, Wrong RWYs, Despite All Safety Measures Adopted (i.e. : Ground Radar, RWSL, EFB - Electronic Flight Bag -, Etc.) Another Thing Is, If I May Suggest, a Very Useful Tool : The D-ATIS, That Would Dismiss The Use of Radio To Get ATIS/TAF Informations Well Before a Radio Range Area, Increasing Opportunity For Planning The Reminder of The Flight (Destination or Alternate), Thus Safety. Once Again MANY THANKS ! BEST REGARDS ! Ed BASE to FINAL RWYs 17 L/R SBSP SBSP 192300Z 15010KT 9999 BKN013 22/18 Q1016 KCID 192252Z 00000KT 5SM HZ FEW033 M09/M12 A3027 RMK AO2 SLP269 T10891117
Thanks for the comment and thoughts, Ed. I agree, D-ATIS would be nice, along with electronic clearance delivery. It exists, but only at the 50 or so largest airports in the US. It works so well where it is installed. You would think the technology part is easy in this age. The runway alerts are nice. I don't believe it could have prevented the crash from Tenerife - the crews were quite aware they were on the runway, just not of the other aircraft's position and intentions. Many lessons were learned from that tragedy. Best regards, Martin
@@martinpauly Captain Martin I Totally Agree ! I’m a Big Fan of “Mayday Air Disasters” Because Every Single Event Brings a Teaching. “Key Element” Mostly (99% !) Is “Human Factor” ! It Is By No Mere Chance That Air Companies All Over Have Been Investing For Some Time Already In That “Piece Behind The Control Column” ! I Think One of Most Important Movements Was The Launch of CRM - Crew Research Management That Evolved To Corporate Research Management That Evolved To a Number of Systems and Procedures Like FOQA - Flight Operations Quality Assurance LOFT - Line Oriented Flight Training Among Many Others in An Attempt To, As Much As Possible, Minimize Events (Incidents and Accidents). If It’s Difficult To Standardize Call Outs, We Can Imagine To Change Behaviors, Paradigms. Like an Ordinary Example : To Avoid Two Heads Down During Aircraft in Moviment or In Flight. Difficult ? Off Course Not ! Does It Happen All The Time ? What Do You Think ? ... Certainly Captain, “Every Flight Bring Us a Brick in Our Wall of Knowlodge” ! This Is a Captain’s Diniz Quote, an “Old Eagle” From TransBrasil (RIP), Like Captain Doug Rosendaal ! By The Way, So Many Things I Learn From Your Channel ! Things That Seems To Bee Simple, Actually They Are, But NOT NEVER TO BEE FORGOTTEN ! ! ! Many Thanks Captain ! Fly Safe ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🌿
Hey Martin, why the tear drop entry into the down wind instead of a left turn into the down wind? Low time pilot learning a lot from your videos. Thank you.
Hey Pat, flying the teardrop gives me more time to descend to pattern altitude after crossing midfield, and to spot other traffic. Unless I have other landing traffic behind me, I prefer to enter that way. Regards, Martin
Super video, Martin! Always lots of good information and technique, especially for a new IFR pilot with Avidyne gear. A question re the runway announcements just before departure and on final, I believe that they initiate with ForeFlight. Is that correct? Is the audio coming via a connection to the audio panel or directly to your headset via BT?
Hi Vince. Yes, those runway alerts come from ForeFlight on my iPad. I have a Bluetooth connection from the iPad to my audio panel; that way everybody on board hears them. But you could certainly also run a Bluetooth connection from the iPad to your headset instead. Regards, Martin
Nice of you to get sweets for the tower. How do you get them to them? Our Class D tower is behind several fences and locked doors. BTW, really liked the new camera views.
It has to be arranged. After the heads-up on frequency, I called the Tower over the phone when I had driven to the base. Somebody came out to pick up the goodies. Regards, Martin
Oh, Bienenstich - wie ich den vermisse. Nein, leider gibt es den in der Bäckerei Jaarsma nicht. Ich habe Bienenstich in den USA bislang noch nicht gesehen. Herzliche Grüsse aus Iowa! - Martin
Hi Steve. ForeFlight has that as part of the "Procedures" function. I can add an instrument approach to the chart/flight plan, or the teardrop pattern entry. Best regards, Martin
Nice video as usual. I have a question, why you did the teardrop entry in to the patern? Why don't cross the field and join the left downwind?. Thanks in advance and greetings from Madrid, Spain.
The teardrop entry takes an extra minute, but that can actually help if I'm still too high for pattern entry. It also gives a little extra time to spot other traffic in the pattern while circling and descending. I don't always use the teardrop - for example, if I know there is other traffic landing behind me, it can make more sense to enter the downwind directly and land sooner. Greetings from Iowa and best regards, Martin
Martin, Your initial Chicago Center contact sure sounded like Kevin @310 Pilot... Any chance? It was hard to hear it real good. Either way really nice gesture to recognize appreciation for folks doing an important job. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, David. Pella is an uncontrolled field, meaning there is no control tower. Aircraft flying at such fields announce their position and intention, but it's normal to not get a response to the calls, let alone a clearance to take off or land. Regards, Martin
I probably wouldn't do 730NM just for the pastries. On the other hand, if you fly a long cross-country flight sometime, why not make Pella a fuel stop? Regards, Martin
No delivery, but that should be an easy flight for you to Pella - check it out sometime, it's a neat town (including, but not only the bakery)! - Martin
@@martinpauly I love a good bakery! We'll have to check it out sometime. About an hour from KOTG for me. Thanks for your videos Martin, hope to run see you at Osh this year.
Thanks, Martin, for another interesting and entertaining video. What is it you are adjusting on the throttle as you are approaching the airport? Is that carb heat? Actually, you were adjusting several knobs by rotating them. Non-pilot here, so please excuse my lack of knowledge.
Speaking for Martin here. He may not have noticed your question. His engine is fuel injected, so there's no carb heat. The black knob is throttle, the middle knob (white) is the fuel/air mixture (these are often red, but they don't have to be), and the white knob on the right is the propeller RPM control. These are often blue. The prop control is really where the magic happens. It's like having a transmission that gives you a low "gear" for acceleration, and a high "gear" for cruise. There's a governor, controlled by the prop control, mounted on the engine that delivers engine oil pressure to the mechanism in the hub of the prop that varies the pitch. You don't control the pitch; you set RPM and the governor adjusts the pitch automatically to maintain the RPM. When you set throttle, you don't set RPM, you set (intake) manifold pressure, which is sort of a proxy for air and fuel flow and power produced. To reduce power, you reduce manifold pressure, then propeller RPM, but when you get closer, ready to land, you increase RPM all the way to max, which is like downshifting when you approach a red light, so if the light turns green, you can accelerate.
@@FarkyDave It is; in fact, all three are. But they all also have a knob you can turn for fine adjustments. Note that each has both a knob and a big button on the end. You can press the button to release the knob to make a gross adjustment.
Thanks Marty for the vid! student pilot here.... I completely understand why you went even though there was an icing airmet (no clouds in the area). If your plane is not FIKI equipped are you technically allowed to do it? I'm so confused about what weather I am allowed (or should) fly in. Please don't take this as a criticism at all, I really just want to learn.
Hi Shane. The AIRMET does not prevent flying in non-FIKI planes. As you saw, there was hardly a cloud in the sky that day, and I would venture a guess and say the AIRMET was issued in error, or maybe it was issued for a larger area than necessary. And that's OK - it's purpose is to give pilots a hint that there is a POTENTIAL hazard, so a closer look is warranted. Are you getting close to your checkride? I hope you're enjoying the flight training - and remember, the learning never stops, even after you get your certificate. Best regards, Martin
@@martinpauly Thanks for the feedback! I think so.... I have about 22 hours and have done 2 solo flights and a night cross country. Weather has been pretty crappy (a lot of windy days in Dallas) so I haven't been able to get up as much as I would like. My CFI told me we need to schedule the checkride soon. To be honest, I try not to think about it too much don't want the pressure. I am just enjoying the ride (and your videos 😊)
One of these days they'll open the tower to visitors again. Right now that's a big no-no (because of COVID). So all I could do is drop them off at the entrance. - Martin
I was going to ask the same thing. Wondering if he tapes at all in the winter months. I believe its got to get a little hotter to ensure all the moisture is burned off.
@@ryanblackford5714 that’s what I was thinking not burning off the moisture. I was in the flight levels same thing low oil temps. I’m reporting to my mechanic.
Yes, Al. Unfortunately the cooling with the new baffle system I got for the bigger engine is so efficient that in the winter it is very hard to get the oil warm enough. That day was a bit extreme. - Martin
@@martinpauly are you worried about the CONDENSATION in the engine that’s what I was worried about. I had a new engine install last June.@ flight levels I see low temps
Martin, how much do I need to bribe you to get you up to GRB here for lunch at Lambeau Field’s 1919 Kitchen and Tap, or a great BBQ joint just a touch outside the city that doubles as a Harley Davidson dealership?
I'm afraid I don't travel that way often, Michael. In fact, I remember flying over Green Bay only once so far. Maybe Oshkosh is an easier way to reconnect? - Martin
Will, it's a trade between the admittedly undesirable propeller artifacts and a blur from the vibration and longer exposure times (prop filter). I have not found a way to eliminate both at the same time. And while you may disagree, I prefer a crisp and sharp image with prop artifacts over a blurry, washed out image without prop artifacts. Regards, Martin
@@martinpauly Yea, I respectfully disagree regarding the image quality from that angle in respect to what your gaining or losing. The prop blur doesn’t allow you to see anything else. Best of luck
Not an abreviated call nor a slured word on the entire trip. What a great example for us all! Can't get over that central engine instrument consolidated panel. That is progress!
Thanks - I really do like that engine monitor from JPI. Very clean presentation of all relevant data.

Pella native. Love to grab some pastries with you some time.
All that snow sure is beautiful, from a suitable distance. The distance created by watching a video seems about right!

"Can we get some?" HAHA!!!! This was fun!
I wish I knew who that was. Maybe I can get them some treats next time! 😁

Agreed - and nice of your colleagues to bring those pastries home to share!

Martin...Nice touchdown at Pella
Thank you!

So did the tower controllers, from what I heard! 😁
Have a good weekend, Ryan.

First of all, I love your mission! Good man. And personally, I can *also* see flying 63 NM for a good Bakery; or good Ice Cream. Although, the latter is probably not on your interest list at the moment. = O But here in CA… So the last 3 days (Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday) it's been about 80˚, clear skies, & no wind. To split hairs, Monday was the nicest: I was sitting outside in shorts & no shirt, speaking to someone in D.C., who was in the middle of an ice storm. The Temp/Dew Point spread was 18˚C (32 and half ˚ F!), and thanks to that, I was outside at 7:15pm, with no shirt, and still comfortable! LOL OK, so I haven't even been using the heater in the house, but OTH, you're able to own a Bonanza & send 3 kids to College, so there's the trade off. : ) If it makes you feel better, it is cooling down tonight. (Below 50˚!! Inhuman!!) But it will probably be warm tomorrow. ; ) So back to your video:
I really liked the camera placements, and your use of zooming in with the editor. It’s great for an instructional/informative video, while keeping it entertaining. (In comparison, my video edit was focused primarily for entertainment only.) When you mentioned using Tracking Shots (the Camera moving) in this video, I was imagining that you would have one on a mount, automatically moving back and forth slowly, then editing for what you want. (Since technically, all the cameras with outside shots are "tracking", because they are moving, and you're busy flying, I figured this was how you'd facilitate that. : ) So it looks like that's what you did on the Panel Shot (Let me know if I'm wrong.), which was great, because before I even caught that, I was thinking that I could see the instruments from more angles that you had cameras, when you did certain cuts. (You had mentioned having 6.) I thought this was a great idea, and worked out well.
I was referring to a different video when I mentioned camera tracking. This one: th-cam.com/video/t3ZO0GggMqk/w-d-xo.html
In Blender, I selected tracking points on the ground and computed a solution for a camera, which I then used to create the overlays that label the streets and places.
It's what we do here in Iowa on cold winter days, I guess 😁

@@martinpauly Ah yes. You *had* told me 'City Lights'! Duh. (This is what happens when I'm bouncing around watching videos, and then replying later!) And I DID look for that in "City Lights", and was thinking you did do what you described above. I know I commented on "City Lights", but I must have forgotten to comment on that aspect, and was then looking for it on this video, as it was in the back of my mind. Anyway, I really did like what you did w/the Graphics on "City Lights". (I think I commented on that.) So did you have one of the cameras behind you in this video, automatically slowly panning Left & Right? That's what it looked like.
@@Cousin. Re "did you have one of the cameras behind you in this video, automatically slowly panning Left & Right? That's what it looked like":

It's a lot of work, thanks, great job as always Martin!
Thanks, Christine. I bet you'll have some stunning scenery from the Adirondack flight.

You made me very hungry for Jaarsma. Haven't visited our daughter for a while and our regular Saturday morning bakery run when in town. Hoping they will have their fly-in pancake breakfast during Tulip Time this year.
Yes, hopefully they can do the tulip festival fly-in again.

your vids are very informative and educational friendly. sure wish i had your skills...kudos!!!!!
Thanks, Phillip. And remember, there is no magic to skills. They say "practice makes perfect", and while I don't think perfection can really be reached, it's pretty well established that the more we practice and train, the closer we get.
All the best!

Really enjoyed the video. Brought back memories of my bride and I making the hop from KILG to KGED for our favorite pastries in Lewes DE. In the summer we would pick up crabs from our favorite place and fly them home. Good times thanks to GA.
It's nice to have some missions for the airplane beyond just flying. Flying is great - don't get me wrong - but when you add some utility, it gets even better.
- Martin
Thanks for the ride, enjoyed it.
My pleasure - glad you liked it!
- Martin
That back view camera showing your rate of climb made it look like you were flying in a fighter jet as quickly as you gained altitude! I'm going to tell my wife that I need to get my pilots' certificate so I can go get pastries for our tower personnel...and then have to explain the fact that we don't have a tower here! I'm sure she'll buy it!
Hi Keith, yes, the climb rates this time of year are impressive, with density altitudes a couple of thousand feet BELOW sea level. Add to that the new 300HP engine, and it feels like I'm flying a rocket!
Best of luck with that conversation with your wife! Make sure to mention that you can fly her to weekend destinations, spa visits, far-away restaurants, etc. 👍
- Martin
I always enjoy flying with you Martin. I pay attention. I always seem to learn something from your flights.
Very happy to hear that, Ken.

Nice touch to ATC Martin. We have our Moreno"s bakery here in Tampa. Thanks for the ride and take care.
Thanks, John. I'll have to check out Moreno's bakery next time I'm in the area.
- Martin
Great views as you flew cross country especially with the snow! Enjoy all the camera angles giving us an immersive flight. Did give a like even though I missed out on the pastries!!
I wish I could record inside the tower, Mikey's, but these days even visits (without camera) are a big no-no. Hopefully that will change after the pandemic.

Martin, 6 cameras plus iPad. You are an editing genius. Wonderful work. Send cookie please.
Thanks, Dennis. For cookies, please visit the Jaarsma bakery in Pella. 😀

On my pre-takeoff briefing, I say “If anything doesn’t look, sound or smell right....”
That's a good way to do it!

It's cold everywhere in the Midwest, but that clear air with snow on the ground looks COLD! I gained a pound just looking at that bakery.
Maybe you and I can both lose a few pounds by looking at a workout video next? 🤣
- Martin
@@martinpauly The "down and back" camera was a bit disorienting at first, but I got over it. You'll have to adopt the flight name "Sweet Tooth One" for the ATC folks. I'm sure that would get you expedited handling, not that you need it in Cedar Rapids!
Agree with the banana on the altitude
Exactly, Ed. The "banana" is very helpful for descent planning (or climb, for that matter).
- Martin
What fun! Thanks, Martin!
Glad you enjoyed it, Scott. Have a good weekend!
- Martin
Thank you for not showing any cream horns at the bakery like you did on a previous trip there. I’m addicted to those things, and after I saw those I had to go out and buy some! Not good for my waistline. Great video while I am snowbound at home, and my plane is snowbound at another airport after the annual was completed.
Hi George. I, too, love those cream horns, but didn't buy any that day. Probably better for my health that way. 😁
Best regards,
Martin
Climbing like a Learjet, nice footage you got for us Martin!
It really felt like a jet that day, yes! Though I'm ready for warm weather after the record cold we just had.
- Martin
So much snow, almost need sunglasses for the cameras. Its hurting my eyes! Great video and happy controllers, sucessful mission Martin.
Yes, those sunny winter days are very bright. Even at night you can almost see the snowy ground clearly, especially with a full moon on a clear night.
- Martin
Always fun to fly with you. (That was BrYan asking for the pastries)
I am petty sure that was NOT BrYan 🤣

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing this experience.
Glad you enjoyed the flight!

Tke care of the people that take care of you--right?? Thamks for sharing from Deep Down in Cajun Country--KOPL
Yes - CID Tower has a helpful crew, they deserve a treat every now and then!

Hi Martin - two quick dumb questions (remember I am not a pilot so apologize in advance). After departing (8:55) on course 250, ATC cleared you to 6000 and direct Patela. You read back - “cleared to 6000 THEN direct Patela” . Were you required to achieve the altitude before turning direct? Wondering if there is a sequence to multiple ATC instructions. Q2 - your approach to land was cross midfield, then a near 270 degree right turn for a left downwind -base-final. Could you have flown to a waypoint SW of the airport runway, made a slight right turn and made a direct approach? Just curious. Love these videos, keep up the great work!
Sorry Pella not patela
Hi Randy. Thanks for your comment and questions.
(1) It's a bit hard to hear in the recording, but I said AND, not THEN, in that sentence (i.e. "6000 and direct Pella"). It sometimes happen to get ATC instructions that are sequential (i.e. do one thing first, and THEN do another thing), but not in this case.
(2) Pattern entry at uncontrolled airports like Pella is less about saving time and more about safety. Pella, like most airports, default to left turns only while in the pattern, which avoids having two aircraft face each other on base leg coming from opposite sides - which could be a bad day for all involved. While it takes an extra couple of minutes to fly over the airport to the correct side for the pattern and then enter the pattern using the teardrop turn (i.e. turning the long way around), it did give me more time to descend to pattern altitude and to watch for other traffic around the airport.
Best regards,
Martin
@@martinpauly thanks - this makes perfect sense. Appreciate your insights.
Martin, have you considered using a crankcase dehydrator? Perhaps you already do.
I don't have one, Robin. I do have a dehydrator for the whole hangar, for the summer, and I also vent the crankcase after each flight (just by taking the oil filler cap off).
- Martin
What a nice gesture...You can make a trip to MSP/MOA and stock up on "Peaceful Protestor Perogies"...:)
G, day Martin from Sydney, Australia.
A SWEET EPISODE
* generous filming of the Bonanza avionics and Avidyne LCD.
* the cold weather must be giving the engine better combustion in the cylinders?
* Couldn't ask for better VFR conditions.
Good stuff 🌏🇭🇲
Hi John, the cold air definitely improves engine performance. My engine's power is limited by the amount of air (oxygen) available for combustion, and since colder air is denser than warm air, the cylinders will have more oxygen available for combustion and power generation than on a warm day (everything else being the same).
Best regards,
Martin
Hey There Captain Martin !
Another Uneventful Flight !
That’s Good ! ! !
And So Many Crucial Details That I’d Like To Point Out .
First Of All, Off Course, Pela’s Treats, No Doubt About That !
That Said and As I’ve Already Mentioned in a Previous Video,
Your iPad’s Safety Call Outs Software (Or Program, Or Whatever),
For Me It Is As Important (Or Even More) As The
RWSL - Runway Status Light Sustem,
Wich Can Prevent RWY Incursion, Therefore Preventing Possible Catastrophic Events Like,
Tragically, The Worst Accident In Aviation Until Today,
That Took Place in Tenerife North - GCXO - in 1977.
I Believe This Rwy Incurson Voice Alert Should Be,
If Not an AD - Airworthness Direction,
At Least a Recommendation For The General Aviation, Perhaps All Aviation.
It's Not Unusual, Unfortunately, Experienced Pilots From Commercial Airlines Entering The Wrong TWYs and Even, Once in a While, Wrong RWYs,
Despite All Safety Measures Adopted (i.e. : Ground Radar, RWSL, EFB - Electronic Flight Bag -, Etc.)
Another Thing Is, If I May Suggest, a Very Useful Tool : The D-ATIS,
That Would Dismiss The Use of Radio To Get ATIS/TAF Informations Well Before a Radio Range Area,
Increasing Opportunity For Planning The Reminder of The Flight (Destination or Alternate), Thus Safety.
Once Again
MANY THANKS !
BEST REGARDS !

Thanks for the comment and thoughts, Ed. I agree, D-ATIS would be nice, along with electronic clearance delivery. It exists, but only at the 50 or so largest airports in the US. It works so well where it is installed. You would think the technology part is easy in this age.
The runway alerts are nice. I don't believe it could have prevented the crash from Tenerife - the crews were quite aware they were on the runway, just not of the other aircraft's position and intentions. Many lessons were learned from that tragedy.

Captain Martin
I Totally Agree !
I’m a Big Fan of “Mayday Air Disasters” Because Every Single Event Brings a Teaching.
“Key Element” Mostly (99% !) Is “Human Factor” !
It Is By No Mere Chance That Air Companies All Over Have Been Investing For Some Time Already
In That “Piece Behind The Control Column” !
I Think One of Most Important Movements Was The Launch of
CRM -
Crew Research Management
That Evolved To
Corporate Research Management
That Evolved To a Number of Systems and Procedures Like
FOQA -
Flight Operations Quality Assurance
LOFT - Line Oriented Flight Training
Among Many Others in An Attempt To, As Much As Possible, Minimize Events (Incidents and Accidents).
If It’s Difficult To Standardize Call Outs, We Can Imagine To Change Behaviors, Paradigms.
Like an Ordinary Example : To Avoid Two Heads Down During Aircraft in Moviment or In Flight.
Difficult ? Off Course Not !
Does It Happen All The Time ?
What Do You Think ? ...
Certainly Captain, “Every Flight Bring Us a Brick in Our Wall of Knowlodge” !
This Is a Captain’s Diniz Quote, an “Old Eagle” From TransBrasil (RIP), Like Captain Doug Rosendaal !
By The Way, So Many Things I Learn From Your Channel !
Things That Seems To Bee Simple, Actually They Are, But NOT NEVER TO BEE FORGOTTEN ! ! !
Many Thanks Captain !
Fly Safe !
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🌿
Hey Martin, why the tear drop entry into the down wind instead of a left turn into the down wind? Low time pilot learning a lot from your videos. Thank you.
Hey Pat, flying the teardrop gives me more time to descend to pattern altitude after crossing midfield, and to spot other traffic. Unless I have other landing traffic behind me, I prefer to enter that way.
Regards,
Martin
@@martinpauly Thanks Martin, greatly appreciated.
Super video, Martin! Always lots of good information and technique, especially for a new IFR pilot with Avidyne gear. A question re the runway announcements just before departure and on final, I believe that they initiate with ForeFlight. Is that correct? Is the audio coming via a connection to the audio panel or directly to your headset via BT?
Hi Vince. Yes, those runway alerts come from ForeFlight on my iPad. I have a Bluetooth connection from the iPad to my audio panel; that way everybody on board hears them. But you could certainly also run a Bluetooth connection from the iPad to your headset instead.
Regards,
Martin
Hey! thats a dutch bakery, atleast the name is. they should have "stroopwafels" if not it will be a good addition :) and also tompouse!
You'll find that the whole city of Pella, IA is Dutch - including the bakery.
- Martin
@@martinpauly thats cool, do people talk dutch there? Or is it too long ago that most people immigrated?
@8:27 the impossible turn is not so impossible with that rate of climb and that runway 😳
True - but then, I was probably close to the self-imposed threshold of 2,000 MSL at that point. 😁
- Martin
Nice of you to get sweets for the tower. How do you get them to them? Our Class D tower is behind several fences and locked doors. BTW, really liked the new camera views.
It has to be arranged. After the heads-up on frequency, I called the Tower over the phone when I had driven to the base. Somebody came out to pick up the goodies.

Martin love your videos how did you get the diagram on ForeFlight for your runway (teardrop ) to show up
Hi Steve. ForeFlight has that as part of the "Procedures" function. I can add an instrument approach to the chart/flight plan, or the teardrop pattern entry.
Best regards,
Martin
Thank you for the reply Martin I found it per your Description can’t wait for the next video you post
I knew that was you. I should have said hello. Hard to do though when you're training. Next time!
Don't be shy next time. What are you flying for your training?
- Martin
@@martinpauly I was monitoring the young man working Des Moines Approach.
Nice video as usual. I have a question, why you did the teardrop entry in to the patern? Why don't cross the field and join the left downwind?. Thanks in advance and greetings from Madrid, Spain.
The teardrop entry takes an extra minute, but that can actually help if I'm still too high for pattern entry. It also gives a little extra time to spot other traffic in the pattern while circling and descending. I don't always use the teardrop - for example, if I know there is other traffic landing behind me, it can make more sense to enter the downwind directly and land sooner.
Greetings from Iowa and best regards,
Martin
In the US it is the recommended pattern entry according to FAR/AIM. Gives you a better view, especially if someone is not radio equipped.
I see, thank you for the answer
Thank you, good to know
Martin, Your initial Chicago Center contact sure sounded like Kevin @310 Pilot... Any chance? It was hard to hear it real good. Either way really nice gesture to recognize appreciation for folks doing an important job. Keep up the great work!
I don't believe that's possible. Kevin works for Chicago Approach (TRACON), not Center.
Regards,
Martin
Very nice Martin. I'm sure you are a hit with the ATC. Noticed Pella did not respond to radio calls . Was that edited out ?
Thanks, David. Pella is an uncontrolled field, meaning there is no control tower. Aircraft flying at such fields announce their position and intention, but it's normal to not get a response to the calls, let alone a clearance to take off or land.
Regards,
Martin
Is Jaarsma 730 nautical miles good? That's how far Pella is from my home field.
I probably wouldn't do 730NM just for the pastries. On the other hand, if you fly a long cross-country flight sometime, why not make Pella a fuel stop?
Regards,
Martin
Do you deliver to OTG? Nice touch Martin!
No delivery, but that should be an easy flight for you to Pella - check it out sometime, it's a neat town (including, but not only the bakery)!

Thanks, Martin, for another interesting and entertaining video. What is it you are adjusting on the throttle as you are approaching the airport? Is that carb heat? Actually, you were adjusting several knobs by rotating them. Non-pilot here, so please excuse my lack of knowledge.
Speaking for Martin here. He may not have noticed your question. His engine is fuel injected, so there's no carb heat. The black knob is throttle, the middle knob (white) is the fuel/air mixture (these are often red, but they don't have to be), and the white knob on the right is the propeller RPM control. These are often blue.
The prop control is really where the magic happens. It's like having a transmission that gives you a low "gear" for acceleration, and a high "gear" for cruise. There's a governor, controlled by the prop control, mounted on the engine that delivers engine oil pressure to the mechanism in the hub of the prop that varies the pitch. You don't control the pitch; you set RPM and the governor adjusts the pitch automatically to maintain the RPM. When you set throttle, you don't set RPM, you set (intake) manifold pressure, which is sort of a proxy for air and fuel flow and power produced. To reduce power, you reduce manifold pressure, then propeller RPM, but when you get closer, ready to land, you increase RPM all the way to max, which is like downshifting when you approach a red light, so if the light turns green, you can accelerate.
@@jjohnston94 Thanks for the info. So, the throttle is not adjusted by pulling the lever out or pushing it in?
@@FarkyDave It is; in fact, all three are. But they all also have a knob you can turn for fine adjustments. Note that each has both a knob and a big button on the end. You can press the button to release the knob to make a gross adjustment.
Thanks Marty for the vid! student pilot here.... I completely understand why you went even though there was an icing airmet (no clouds in the area). If your plane is not FIKI equipped are you technically allowed to do it? I'm so confused about what weather I am allowed (or should) fly in. Please don't take this as a criticism at all, I really just want to learn.
Hi Shane. The AIRMET does not prevent flying in non-FIKI planes. As you saw, there was hardly a cloud in the sky that day, and I would venture a guess and say the AIRMET was issued in error, or maybe it was issued for a larger area than necessary. And that's OK - it's purpose is to give pilots a hint that there is a POTENTIAL hazard, so a closer look is warranted.
Are you getting close to your checkride? I hope you're enjoying the flight training - and remember, the learning never stops, even after you get your certificate.
Best regards,
Martin
@@martinpauly Thanks for the feedback! I think so.... I have about 22 hours and have done 2 solo flights and a night cross country. Weather has been pretty crappy (a lot of windy days in Dallas) so I haven't been able to get up as much as I would like. My CFI told me we need to schedule the checkride soon. To be honest, I try not to think about it too much don't want the pressure. I am just enjoying the ride (and your videos 😊)
You had a stack of 4 boxes but only loaded 3??????????
Yes. The explanation is very simple, and given in the video. 😀

Martin I noticed your oil temp dropped to 112 is that normal ? I’m sure it’s because of the cold. I’ve seen mine drop to 100
I was going to ask the same thing. Wondering if he tapes at all in the winter months. I believe its got to get a little hotter to ensure all the moisture is burned off.
@@ryanblackford5714 that’s what I was thinking not burning off the moisture. I was in the flight levels same thing low oil temps. I’m reporting to my mechanic.
Yes, Al. Unfortunately the cooling with the new baffle system I got for the bigger engine is so efficient that in the winter it is very hard to get the oil warm enough. That day was a bit extreme.
- Martin
@@martinpauly are you worried about the CONDENSATION in the engine that’s what I was worried about. I had a new engine install last June.@ flight levels I see low temps

@@martinpauly I hear ya!
Cmon man.
Please have some quality control and get a prop filter. I really wanted to watch your video but the blur is unwatchable..
Will, it's a trade between the admittedly undesirable propeller artifacts and a blur from the vibration and longer exposure times (prop filter). I have not found a way to eliminate both at the same time. And while you may disagree, I prefer a crisp and sharp image with prop artifacts over a blurry, washed out image without prop artifacts.
Regards,
Martin
@@martinpauly Yea, I respectfully disagree regarding the image quality from that angle in respect to what your gaining or losing. The prop blur doesn’t allow you to see anything else. Best of luck
No one has a problem with this issue, but you, Will. So I think he’s doing just fine.
We’ll be watching for your expert TH-cam videos.
