Flying Low & Slow to Key West - Part II
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 พ.ย. 2021
- In part two we are going to fly from Palm Beach all the way to Key West. Learn about the shore line transition in Fort Lauderdale (but don't make the mistake I made!), enjoy the views of Miami, and then come with us as we fly from Key Biscayne along the many small islands to Key West International Airport.
Special thanks to my friend Gilbert who was capturing video from the right seat.

Thanks for taking this old sport pilot Champ pilot along watching on my tv
My pleasure!
- Martin
Great video, as always, Martin. In addition to the great views, I always appreciate your great radio work (keeps me mentally sharp when I can’t get in the air as often as I’d like) and when you narrate complicated airspace issues or comm breakdowns. Always a learning experience. Thanks!
Thanks, Bob. I enjoy bringing things across that I have learned.
- Martin
I love whenever we land at KEYW the tower always says “Welcome Back” after landing.
I enjoy the flight. Good learning flight for a student pilot. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, and all the best for your flight training.
- Martin
@@martinpauly you are very much welcome.
I've been waiting for this part thanks for sharing this wonderful experience, as always very enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it!
- Martin
You need one of those "Shut Up " buttons that 310 Pilot has.
Yes, you are right! 👍
- Martin
Incredible experience! Thanks for sharing Martin!
My pleasure - glad you enjoyed it!
- Martin
Thanks very much for this, Martin! I somehow missed the alert when Part II went live, but I had a blast watching it this evening. These are my old stomping grounds and it was wonderful to see everything from the air, again. Looking forward to our own flight down the coast to EYW in the not-too-distant future. This preview of the trip is very helpful and I thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Charles - I hope you'll enjoy your flight as much as I enjoyed mine!
- Martin
I did a portion of this- Pompano to mid-Keys and then up the west coast - with a local pilot. What a fun flight!
Of course, sitting at home I caught the transmission correction. But I also I heard part of a transmission earlier to change to 119.3 which I thought was meant for you. Can be tough when it gets that busy, especially with terrain warnings blaring constantly!
Thanks, Mark. The whole thing was a bit confusing. The Miami TAC spells out exactly how to contact FFL Tower, but then in real life they use different frequencies. And of course my missing of the corrected callsign in the controller's transmission.
- Martin
Martin, I really enjoyed this video. I have been there many times driving and a couple of times we have biked the 150 miles. To see it from the air was an exceptional perspective. Thank you for this and all of the videos you are producing. Seeing Salute, the restaurant on your landing brought back many memories too.
Thanks, Edwin. Glad to hear you enjoyed the views on this trip from a different perspective. I have yet to make this bike ride - hopefully some day!
- Martin
Awesome! Love the shoreline footage! 👍👏🥰
Glad you enjoyed it!
- Martin
Really enjoyed that flight Martin, thanks for bringing us along !
Thank you, happy to hear that! 👍
Great Video Great views and Great VFR Radio work Thank you Martin
Thank you.
- Martin
Awesome video Martin. I love this low and slow series so far! Stay safe, greetings from Belgium
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it.
- Martin
I enjoyed your first video so much I decided to take the same flight myself in an A36 Bonanza. Since I was in my MSFS Bonanza i didn't have to worry about ATC. The second video was just as awesome as the first.
Glad to hear it, Jim. How was the scenery on this flight in MSFS?
- Martin
Really cool, thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Bud.
- Martin
Was looking for award to Part II, awesome views, we definitely need to do this!!!
Thanks, Ron - go for it, the views are great and it'll be a fun time!
- Martin
Martin, you are such a pro. Very enjoyable flight. I guess the price for that great view along the shoreline is all those transition calls. Congrats on your ABS instructor rating!!!
Thank you, Dennis.
Yes, flying higher would have been less work, but we would not have enjoyed the view as much.
- Martin
Love it Martin
You're the best man! Thank you for this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
- Martin
A couple of us restored the IT network for NAS Key West ATC after a hurricane many years ago. Haven't see the place until your post. Thanks
Martin. Good to see you again. Enjoyed the flight.
Thanks, Gary!
- Martin
Excellent. I did the same trip in a Seminole about 10 years about building Multi time. Would love to do it again
Thanks for the video......nice smooth landing.
Thank you, Marc 😀
- Martin
Very very helpful Martin! I will watch it over and over again 😄 Can‘t wait to fly in this area in December.
Liebe Grüße aus Österreich, Ewald
Vielen Dank, Ewald, und eine schöne Zeit in Florida!
- Martin
That was awesome man thanks for sharing! I enjoyed every minute
Glad to hear you enjoyed the flight, Shane.
- Martin
Great video.
At 10:13 at the bottom center of the screen you can see the lot where the Chaplain Towers South condo used to stand before it collapsed in June killing 98. Such a sad story. Interesting to see how much it's changed from the air.
Awesome Martin, watched at least 1/2 dozen times!
You watched this half a dozen times? You need to get a life, Christine! 😁
(Of course I am glad to hear you are enjoying the video.)
- Martin
@@martinpauly Yes I do!!🤦🏼♀️ I have no life-work, work, work…
33 days till Vero Beach for 🎄Christmas ( sadly tours at the Piper factory are closed) +
2 months Cocoa 🏖 Beach you know I’m gonna get some flying in! ✈️
These videos for me are gold! 🏆
Blue sky’s, Martin🥂Cheers
Enjoyed that!
My pleasure - glad you enjoyed it, Steve!
- Martin
Very nice landing!
Thanks, Terry.
- Martin
I enjoyed watching your videos of flying to Key West. That is on my list of things I want to do. After watching your video I feel it would be easier to repeat the steps you took.
Thanks, Gary. That's what I always hope my videos will do: help other pilots anticipate what a flight will be like, and in turn make the planning of such a flight easier.
Enjoy your weekend!
- Martin
I always learn something from your videos and others. I did that flight 2months ago for the first time but felt behind and did not call approach. Luckily military base was closed. Good radio calls on this video.
Glad you were able to make this flight. From Melbourne to Fort Lauderdale it's rapid fire with regard to Class C/D airports and talking to many different ATC facilities.
- Martin
I've taken the E170 into that airport many a time, always fun. fun, too, on the days when the navy guys are flying and you cant get a word in on the approach frequency
Hi Martin. Great video and procedures. I’ve done this many times, but only down to Miami’s stiltsville. By KFLL, have to watch for para gliders towed by boats😳
Good to see you again. We met at sun n fun, I was with Eric and Valerie-baron pilots. I just sold my Cherokee six and bought a 1947 35 Bonanza. See you again sometime👍🏻 Captain Dave
Hi Captain Dave,
Thanks for the note, and welcome to Bonanza ownership - I hope you'll love yours as much as I love mine.
- Martin
Martin, congrats on achieving the BPPP instructor certification. I saw the article in the ABS Magazine today.
Thank you - I'm excited to help other Bonanza owners get to know their aircraft better.
- Martin
Welcome to at or below 500' territory. These are my flying grounds we fly 200 to 400' every weekend in these areas from West Palm to South Beach.
Great video and it almost felt like we were in the plane doing the flight right along with you.
Thanks, Mike.
- Martin
Hello Martin, I like you soft landings.
Thank you - I like them, too!
- Martin
My wife and I just got back from a trip to Marathon/Key West. Our resort, Isla Bella is at the bottom right at your 21:18 mark. Highly recommended.
Looks like a nice, quiet place!
- Martin
Hey Martin. Great video. My fiancé and I are planning on a similar trip in November. Arriving to Key West from the Everglades. Will do this flight heading North back to Sebastian. Been useful to see how you passed through all the airspace. We are UK based pilots so its a great way to learn what to expect. It will be our first time flying in the US.
Hi Sean, I hope you and your fiancé will have a great time flying in the US, especially along the coast. It's a beautiful sight from the air!
Regards,
Martin
I’m planning a trip to key west from Tampa first the first time. Any help for the planning please 🙏🏼
I was a little nervous on parts of this flight, it didn't look like you had too many options if you lost an engine. But wow, what a beautiful flight!
Hi David,
Loss of an engine would likely have resulted in getting wet on this flight, and we did carry life vests. I actually got more nervous on the way back north where for half an hour I flew over the Everglades - beautiful sights, but given a choice I'd take a waterlanding in the Florida Bay over Alligator-infested swamps.
Regards,
Martin
I have a similar experience where ATC said one thing, and my brain perfectly filtered it with what i expected to hear. (They said 0-9-0, and I heard 1-9-0 because I was expecting it) Later I heard a recording and it was clearly my error. Its a creepy feeling but a very good learning moment, and now I am hyper-aware of what Im hearing and not what Im expecting.
Yes, that definitely happens.
- Martin
6:45...We're not a Cessna! LOL To a Beechcraft owner, that is worse than talking bad about their momma...
It could have been worse... 😂
- Martin
Hi Martin nice video as always. Question what is the traffic from North to South is the south bound traffic had to be further out of the beach shore line and the north bound over the beach line shore line. I like to try it but can find the traffic on that transition.
tyvm Dave.
This is one Flight Where "B*^ching Betty" Really lived up to her name lol
*GPWS*
Yup!
Time to install that button! Terrain ahead, pull up!!!!!!!!
I saw my house from there lol. Pretty sure I saw you fly overhead, I live right on the approach path, and there aren't many Bonanza's that come in.
How cool is that!
- Martin
Low and slow to EYW is in a C-152.
How about a bicycle? I guess it's all relative...
- Martin
Martin, little late watching this video. Question: On the VFR corridor, what would you have had to do if you were not able to reach Ft. Lauderdale approach? I am guessing you would have not essentially been cleared and would have had to fly out further under the outer shelf and just stay below 1200?
That's exactly right, Stevie. A few miles off-shore, under the Class Charlie shelf would have been the way to go. An alternative could be to do 360s before entering their airspace while trying to make contact.
- Martin
You need an inhibit switch on the panel :)
I agree! 👍
- Martin
I saw you called key west approach. I see a navy approach frequency listed. Being key west is a class d, can you just contact tower ten miles out? Plan on flying in here soon and watched the video to see what it looks like.
Yes, Marc - I see no airspace in that area which requires talking to Approach, so you could just get with Tower when you are closer. However, it seemed prudent to work with Approach for flight following/traffic advisories.
- Martin
There's no place like the Keys. Great flight and an excellent example of VFR radio work in congested airspace. I'm curious...was it because of sketchy radar coverage that you didn't (or didn't seem to) have continuous flight following to Key West? Also...after more time with your Axis headset, are you still liking it better than the Halo's? Thanks for sharing.
Hi Joe. I figured flight following wouldn't work well as low as I was flying much of the time (500' in some places). For example, to even reach Orlando Approach prior to entering the Kennedy Space Center area, I had to climb to about 2,000. So I decided it'll be easier if I proceed without flight following for this flight. It's not what I normally do, but then normally I fly much higher.
Regards,
Martin
@@martinpauly Ah. I understand. Makes sense. Thanks for responding.
Just curious, do you have to be on the ground to disable the terrain warning or can that be done in flight if you are not too busy? which you most certainly were busy.
I could have disabled the terrain warning it in flight. My selection of the scenes for the video makes it look (sound) worse than it was; the system was not yelling at us the whole time.
- Martin
Martin, I’m curious as to why you didn’t pick up VFR Flight Following for this trip. Given the number of airspace transitions you made, I would think this would have reduced your workload considerably…?
Good question, James. Maybe it would have helped. From my experience, what Flight Following can do depends a bit on the region. Not having flown much in Florida, I wouldn't know what the limits of FF are, whereas doing it all myself - while more work - made it more predictable. Also, at some of those altitudes we were flying at I would not have been able to remain in radio contact with ATC.
Regards,
Martin
@@martinpauly Flight Following in Florida is very helpful when VFR which I recommend most of the time when flying down here in our category of aircraft. My experience has been that controllers give you almost unlimited flexibility regarding heading/altitude, reliably call out traffic, and will work with you to coordinate airspace transitions. You get treated almost like IFR aircraft minus the constraints associated with IFR.
At 5m how are you even functioning with the terrain announcements??
As annoying as they sound in the video, they did not feel that bad in flight. I do not why...
- Martin
16:41 Minimum stay 30 days in the South Keys ? Seems like that would kill Fantasy Fest.
The part of the Keys this comment was referring to was far from Key West, and only about VRBOs. You can still book a hotel anywhere for as long or as short of a stay as you like.
Regards,
Martin
Champlain Tower all RIP 10:10
Great video. Danke. Lots of talking for low sightseeing.
Gern geschehen!
- Martin
Can't you shut that warning off?
Yes, and I should have done that on this flight.
- Martin
Couldn’t watch it with all the obstacle warnings!
I always enjoy watching your videos, but the nagging from terrain / obstacle warnings really make this one hard to watch.
I really wish I had disabled the terrain warning for this flight.
- Martin
Boca Ratón needs a new microphone.
Indeed - it sounded like a robotic voice almost.
- Martin
Terrain ahead pull up, warning obstacle. Just a little annoying! That should be a push of a button to disable. Just saying.
Around 6:20 he concurs but I am guessing it is more than just one button.
Key west …unfortunately is a shithole of concrete now. Because I’m Canadian I always fly over key west and into Cuba in my Cessna 150.
Terrain warning is annoying
to be honest I almost stopped watching this video cuz these warnings are too loud and annoying... is it possible next time to have them softer like as a background sound... especially when the ATC is talking and these warnings start, its too much and unpleasant to watch too.... during flights with clear view, I always turn these annoying warnings also off.... not necessary..... just my 2 cents...
Looking back, I wish I had disabled the terrain warnings on this flight. They were not helpful.
