Good decision making! When I was with the Civil Air Patrol in Spokane I went out on too many search missions for those who took chances. None of those missions had good outcomes. That region is dangerous as hell with how fast situations can change as you experienced. Again, good, safe decision making!
@@AnarchyEnsues First thing, you crazies keep saying Matt was involved on another youtubers word. I'm just saying that Owen would be the one to ask about the ditching since he was there at the ditching. Secondly the Pilot in question that did the ditching is shady as hell and has pulled stupid stunts in the past, But you don't stick over 150k into a plane on upgrades you plan on destroying, and not even an attention seeking person would risk ditching into cold water on purpose and risk dying. The Pilots own words states that their were problems with the planes fuel system that should of been a red flag that something was wrong.
Excellent airmanship Matt. Think about how many situations have happened where the pilot chose to continue and gets into a situation that is catastrophic. The important lesson here is that you want to live to fly another day and making the right decisions to do that is something very valuable to share.
@@MuffinCHeeler I know he was running performance numbers, however one should have good CRM and hand over controls. In an airline environment this would be a big no no, even if on autopilot the PF would never go "heads down" like this without handing over control. Just an advise from an airline pilot.
@@alpinepilot What you say makes no sense. Question: “How do you make out the pilot at a party?” Answer: “don’t worry he will tell you quick enough” 😊 However, back in the dates we used big ass A3 VFR Charts and a kneepad, nowadays its a phone / tablet / mobile GPS. I bet my balls you have no clue what you’re talking about
@@alpinepilot Pilots under auto pilot can legally leave the cockpit with 1 pilot remaining and have his eyes off the front glass? Pilots on a daily basis fly IFR using iPads and always look down at their devices. Not a big no no.
First rule, land upstream, depart downstream. Money spent in McCall would have served you better at McCall Mountain Flying School, instead of pizza. Especially if you’re going to base in the mountains. What was your plan when the NORDO cub comes around the corner and you’re doing 150 kts in a valley on the wrong side of the canyon? Don’t let your fans fool you into thinking your ADM is up to snuff in this instance. A little humility would serve you well. Most of the time, barring the crash set up, your videos are good and sometimes informative.
Yup. We see this sort of thing all the time when flatlanders come to the mountains. The Sierras where I live are smaller than the mountains Matt is in, and are still full of aluminum. A mountain flying course would be well advised.
I got some great instruction in McCall in my first Super Cub. Bought it there with only a couple hours tailwheel time and stayed until a very competent local instructor said I was good to go. Money well spent and much learned. A month later flew home to Alaska from Tacoma, Wa. Great experience. Almost 30 years ago and much learned since. Even with my experience level now I would opt for some local instruction for the location. Mountain flying is better done looking out the window and doing calculation when researching destinations prior to departure. Also a good idea to slow on down to get a good look at landing area even if it takes longer. You are going to miss a lot @ 170. Enjoy your new home and fly safe.
Matt, it's fun to see you in the neighborhood. Our cabin is at Pistol Creek. Indian Creek is a Forest Service Guard Station so the runway is federally maintained. They bring Caravans and DC3's in there. Generally landings are done upstream and takeoffs are down stream. Note if you're taking off up stream at Indian Creek be aware that Pistol Creek is take off down stream and landing upstream with NO GO AROUND. Once on short final you are committed. An respect above all else, "Denisity Altitude". It's probably the number one killer in the Back Country. So God Bless and keep the greasey down. Scott Pecora
As previously mentioned, you need another type of aircraft for those missions. Husky or Piper Cub would do. I like the Husky because you get high performance when you need it or STOL. Just a thought.
@@MrLong-pe3cm you can land a C130 on an aircraft carrier but you better know your math and hope for the best possible conditions. Point being use the right equipment for the job. Lol
You’re doing this to late in the day, you should get this all said and done by 10 o’clock in the morning. As for Indian creek it’s about as good as it gets in the back country, you land upstream takeoff down the Stream which is downhill. Johnson Creek is treated like a one-way airstrip you land upstream takeoff down stream also you do not take off towards the White House at the south end of the runway. Unless the winds are strong. Johnson Creek has a recommended standard operating procedure that should be read prior to operating in the area. You can find that on the Idaho airports map. That can be found in the App Store.
Scrappy is built for off-field/wilderness landings. Those fields are better suited for slower aircraft like C172/82's, PA-28's, Cubs, and so-on. A Bonanza is not a good airplane for mountain flying. It can't get slow enough to fly safely. Too close to the critical angle of attack at the approach speeds necessary to land safely.
Many would have had a bad case of "get-there-itus" and ignored that nagging voice that is telling you it's out of your plane's capability or your own limits. Good on you for listening to that voice telling you to keep movin' on. I know your plane is above average on rough fields compared to other GA aircraft, but not a true bush plane. Especially with the density altitudes and wind you're experiencing. Those are best left to the Carbon Cubs and Maule's.
The second spot I would have landed the bonanza in without any doubt. I’ve probably done a little more back country though.Better safe than sorry playing with density altitude live to fly another day
Owning a V35B and a Super Cub, it's all about having the right tool for the job. A STOL aircraft like a Super Cub is what you need for those strips. Yes a Bo can do it in the right hands on the right day, but .... it's kinda like using a wrench as a hammer. It'll work, but it's not gonna be pretty. Get a cub if you want to get into those strips. It's some of the best fun you can have!
Scott quite agree, being able to shoot an awesome IFR approach to minimums is a great skill set . Get in a Cessna 180 or supercub ... and spend hours finding what they can do on backcountry strips is another thing.
Great video Matt.....love checking out those grass strips...and staying away from landing on them in the Bonanza....beautiful scenery...fun to see Owen driving a Ford instead of a Gulfstream. Lol
Great video. I see you have great skills. People new to the channel probably don't realize. Matt flew around the world solo. At the time he was the youngest person to accomplish this. I think someone beat his record. More people have been to outer space. Than solo circumnavigated the planet.
Question for pilots: When you fly above terrain like this (with forests, mountains ect.) do serious complications with your aircraft mean you're definitely gonna die? Or do you plan your routes, in case of an emergency?
Planning is really important, you know in advance where a suitable landing area is situated, but when it happens, the most important part is reacting fast to reach best glide speed and looking for flat surface , if there is.
Not sure an A36 Bonanza would be my first choice of aircraft to be taking into mountain strips. Not sure it would be on the list of aircraft I'd be willing to take up there. I'd want to take a much slower high performance airplane like a 182 with VG's and STOL kit. I'd also want to be on final approach before about 11AM. You're going to have a bad time getting into those Idaho strips in the middle of the day.
YIKES, seeing those two get close at 4:35 just put in my mind when a HS friend lost his life. Corey Sawtelle, 20 years of age. It's funny how we remember things. My brother and I were living in Northampton, MA back in 1989. Corey flew down from Silver Ranch, Jaffrey, NH, in a Bonanza to pick us up to visit family on Lake Monomonac. I took photos of our trip, one of which was Corey pretending to be in a panic while looking at the control panel, as if we were going to crash. A few months later, Corey was supposed to help my brother move to Boston; I got a call at work, my brother in tears telling me he was gone. He had been piloting with an instructor flying near the Connecticut River between NH and VT when they were struck by another small plane in the tail section. That pilot managed to land his plane on Interstate 91 in Vermont. They never did find Corey.
Yikes regarding your story. I took lessons at Tew-Mac in the 1980s, and Jaffrey was one of the trickier airports I visited. I now live near there, so I think I'll research the crash.
@@EfficientRVer Just found a court case about it CV-94-392-M Sawtelle vs. Farrell, my brother had told me he was a passenger, guess that was incorrect. He was piloting the aircraft...crash was May 21, 1989.

Why does that formation rejoin sound/look like every rendezvous with a tanker!?!? And the best planning is done at ground speed zero. Pilot math doing anything faster is bound to induce 50% error.
No argument that planning on the ground is best but here they need to do run the numbers while flying because the situation changed. Notice however that he did it out loud for his co- to hear, he padded the numbers to add margin and he was going to "run it again". And even after getting an answer that should have been a go he still waived himself off. I would fly with this guy!
Just saying.... i work and when i have extra i could fly here in Canada or Philippines.. but every day time i would like do... Maybe I should get a you 2 page..
Thanks for the videos Matt. You made the right choice to abort the mud strips. Be dam careful every time you get in the plane now that you live in the mountains. Mountains, Weather, winds and density altitude and the usual get there itus can all combine to make a very bad day. If something doesn't look right turn around and go home or to your alternate, no shame in that. We see far too many general aviation accidents here in AK when most or nearly all of them could have been avoided.
As usual good video, where’s the right seat, miss her… your flight to Fargo in 20 for a date night, gave me ideas on short hop date night for the right seat. Stay safe from home base Aberdeen, SD
Hye, a few question to you guys. For safety reason, the private or commercial pilot are strictly prohibited to flew the aircraft at lower altitude n what u guys did is against the rule isn't it? U had covered your action by decided to landed on the clear ground land at the area but u never requested permission to did that. In the situation during checking the ground field, the pilot retracted the landing gear just before he knew he was not going to land but to cruise at the elevated height with a single propeller driven engine is totally dangerous.
Is the video here on youtube that you referenced in this regarding the thunderstorms? I believe you showed a snippet of radar footage from it. Can't find it. Thank you!
@@KyleNobes what? I specifically said what video was he referring to. Did you watch the video? He specifically stated it was eerily familiar and then played some audio and playback of radar from that instance. @ around 16:35
Matt - at 13:09 into this on taxi you're entering frequencies or something on the top 750, you then get an audio confirmation that the terrain system test OK. Did you provoke that and if so how? Ive yet to figure out a way to test the audio alerts from the 750 to my audio panel and headset without them genuinely coming on in flight. Which is rare as where I am I fly high and ADS-B is not mandatory.
There’s no set formula, it’s just basic time / distance math - use your fav metrics. Just remember 100 knots - 170 ft/s So at 170 knots you’re closer to 340 ft/s - say 300 ft/s to be conservative then he had 11 seconds to work with, so roughly 3300 ft - If you’re travelling at 80 knots - and you measure out 15 second - you know 100 knots = 170 ft/s so @ 80 knots you’re doing roughly 130 ft/s x 15 seconds - at 10 seconds that’d be 1300 ft - add another 5 seconds (which happens to be half the amount of time as the 10 seconds thus half the distance ) (650 ft) and you got about 2000 ft It’s all just quick mental estimation math, erring towards the conservative side
Was trying to work out his math process (he did that pretty quick!). I think the “0.2” was minutes based on 12 seconds/60. The “3” was 3 miles per minute at 180 knots, with rounding to keep math simple for both. 3 x 0.2 for roughly 0.6 mile distance and conservatively dropped back to 0.5 mile usable runway.
He was trying to do math that he should have done well ahead of time. You need to know your landing, takeoff, go-around, accelerate/stop, accelerate/go distances before you even start the preflight inspection of the aircraft. Trying to do math while flying low and fast in the back country has killed many a pilot.
Great videos! Just a little late posting them haha. There hasn’t been snow in months around Challis, ID and Mcall, it's all smoke from the wildfires now.
Thanks for showing your decision making process on those back country strips.
Yeah, this is great. Really great for us without a lot of experience. soaking it all up.
If you have to question your decision, there is no question, Don't do it. Stay safe 👍
Good decision making! When I was with the Civil Air Patrol in Spokane I went out on too many search missions for those who took chances. None of those missions had good outcomes. That region is dangerous as hell with how fast situations can change as you experienced.

Don't you remember him breaking the story of his friends crashing into the ocean, on purpose I believe.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Jackson is a reasonably large airport that has instrument approaches. Couldn't you pick up a pop up IFR to get in?
Very windy and turbulent to cross the mountains between Driggs and JAC when there's weather.
Windy, but you make landing look easy.

There’s no set formula, it’s just basic time / distance math - use your fav metrics.
Just remember 100 knots - 170 ft/s
So at 170 knots you’re closer to 340 ft/s - say 300 ft/s to be conservative then he had 11 seconds to work with, so roughly 3300 ft

If you’re travelling at 80 knots - and you measure out 15 second - you know 100 knots = 170 ft/s so @ 80 knots you’re doing roughly 130 ft/s x 15 seconds - at 10 seconds that’d be 1300 ft - add another 5 seconds (which happens to be half the amount of time as the 10 seconds thus half the distance ) (650 ft) and you got about 2000 ft
It’s all just quick mental estimation math, erring towards the conservative side
Was trying to work out his math process (he did that pretty quick!). I think the “0.2” was minutes based on 12 seconds/60. The “3” was 3 miles per minute at 180 knots, with rounding to keep math simple for both. 3 x 0.2 for roughly 0.6 mile distance and conservatively dropped back to 0.5 mile usable runway.
He was trying to do math that he should have done well ahead of time. You need to know your landing, takeoff, go-around, accelerate/stop, accelerate/go distances before you even start the preflight inspection of the aircraft. Trying to do math while flying low and fast in the back country has killed many a pilot.

"Sky Nerds" coming to a theater near you.
Nobody gonna talk about the barons door open?
I would love to see you do a video in the hondajet like you and Rich did with the M2. It would be great to get your opinion on the two.
Great videos! Just a little late posting them haha. There hasn’t been snow in months around Challis, ID and Mcall, it's all smoke from the wildfires now.
Do you have a new girlfriend?
Welcome to the mountains boys
As I said in the last vid... time for another airplane! Way too many small strips around there....
Dang them fancy REDs. I’m scared of the data volume you must deal with.
Who says you need a Kitfox to do back country flying!
Little less camera, little more preflight and landing prep
When I think back country forget super Cubs and Huskies. I think Bonanza!
Listen to the locals. They know.
