Man, you had your hands full in this busy airspace, shades of Air Venture. Processing all the staccato ATC information accurately near a big airport is no place for the unprepared or one of slow mental agility. A copilot in this case would have reduced the sweat factor for sure. I can’t imagine doing this flight 20 years ago with paper charts and old radios-without the aid of modern GPS and other electronic nav tools-and one pilot. The airport itself is so large that it requires a “taxi plan”. GPS/airport diagram a godsend for a busy complex environment. Your commendable pilot proficiency skills are all there for the world to see. Your video production involving various cameras, focal points, closeups, text notations, all thoughtfully and professionally produced. You’ve set a high bar. Anyone watching your vids is learning A LOT.
One of the hazards of receiving instructions from ground control at very busy airports is often confusion with the pilot due to unfamiliarity and directions that sometimes don't make sense from a controller. They are busy and sometimes we just can't comply with their wishes. He was confused as to where you were heading and could have caused a problem with that jet. You did a nice job of diplomatically handling the confusion. Good example of why we always need to be on our A Game even on the ground. Well done Martin!
Thank you, Preston - though I believe I should have asked the controller for clarification a bit sooner, instead of just heading down taxiway Alpha without really knowing where I was going. - Martin
I really liked how the ground controller handled that. He didn't get snippy and both of you was calmly able to easily work it out quickly. That was a very scenic flight, but very busy. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.
I'm a big believer in checklists. They work for the pros, so they'll help me as well. I realize I am not perfect, therefore the checklist can help me when I miss something. I know some pilots think they don't need that - at least until they land gear up one day. :-) - Martin
The rear camera is fantastic. Have seen that only in military Film! Have another one below, front, angled downward and you won't have peer! Superb video, Martin!
Thanks - yes, I like that rear-facing angle very much. I first saw it in Top Gun many years ago, and while my flying is nothing like that, the view back is sometimes still very nice! - Martin
That was a wonderful view of DFW, so many taxiways! Thanks for taking us along, and thanks for demonstrating how to work with a controller to fix an issue. I must be old, because I sure enjoy a great flying video on a Friday night!
Another fascinating video, Martin. Brought back memories. I earned my instrument rating at Meacham many years ago, and visited Love Field a number of times. My 195 was based at Aero Valley (52F) in those days. I love flying in the DFW area. Well done!
Martin, another great video. 19:45 A couple ForeFlight tips (in addition to my tip last week on FBO display on the Airport Diagram): (1) on the main Maps tab, turn off (deselect) the VFR Sectional (I only use that when looking for the name of a river, lake, whatever) and just display the Aeronautical map... also (2) click the Gear, then Airspace and make sure Auto-Highlight is on. The Aeronautical map gives all you really need on the map, and the Auto-Highlight dims any airspace that you are not near (vertically and laterally)... a greatly uncluttered view so that just the important stuff, e.g. Traffic, is much more visible.
Super video as usual. Not only did you fly over KDFW but you flew over some prime cycling routes around the airport and around Lake Grapevine. You just videoed Heaven on earth!
One of these days I'll have to bring my bike to Texas again for some pre-season cycling. I've only done that once, in Austin, a few years ago. Still to cold for my taste here in Iowa now, even in late March. - Martin
Thanks Martin, another good one, good to see that I am not the only one who gets lost on taxiways, sometimes the controllers fault, most of the time mine :)
Nicely done Martin. I wasn't understanding how he was going to get you to beat the jet. That would have been an uncomfortable head on collision. I got a good laugh out of "allright, we get to see the whole airport" :) It was nice to see the airports bustling (not so long ago)
! ! ! ONE MORE AWESOME FLIGHT ! ! ! If Possible, In The Future I’d Ask To See You Doing The Flight Plan Previously. I’m Mean, Sending It Even Before To Get To The Plane. Many Thanks !
Great video as always Martin. I was also confused by that clearance and couldn't find Lima for quite a long time! Also, I want to say your radio comms make you sound like a professional pilot. You could give lessons to many other pilots on how to sound good on the radio! Keep up the great channel and thanks for sharing this with us.
That was definitely the highlight of this flight! I had landed at DFW before, but you get an even nicer view by flying over it. Especially on a nice, clear day like the one I had. - Martin
Thanks, Paul. I am really happy with the avionics stack; it feels like I have the best of everything there (transponder, audio panel, and of course GPS/NAV/COM). Next stop is a new engine (getting an IO-550); after that I'll be looking at an EFIS more seriously. - Martin
Nice video Martin. @Theflyingcontroller might have comments on the FTW stuff. He wasn't working there that day as he was with us in the studio. I'm guessing you went straight from there to the studio for the In The Hangar taping?
Thanks, Dan. You are right, I went to FTW to the studio - with a bite to eat in between. That was a fun weekend, and how different the world was that weekend just a few weeks ago! I hope you are doing OK. Best wishes! - Martin
Your videos are very realistic. I watched this on the same iPad is use for ForeFlight in my plane. At one point you showed your iPad map, and I tried to expand it to see some more detail. Duh...didn’t work! Great video of busy airspace!
In airlines if we did "read and do" checklist we'd never get off ground. We do a flow then use CHECK-list after all tasks are done. AWOS is well known for spurious ceilings and other data.
That was one big airport Martin. I don't think that ground controller was listening! Just as well it was not a busy airport, that might have caused a bit of bother! Look out Bonanza coming through!
Well, he listened and initially gave me good instructions - then something must have happened that made him forget where I was headed. It was no big deal in the end; it just took me aw while to figure out what had happened. - Martin
@@martinpauly Yeah, I was just picturing a Lear Jet coming the other way shouting "Get out the B***dl way!" These things happen, none of us are perfect.
I'm just glad I wasn't the pilot who was told about "at least 15 targets over the next 15 miles" - that would have been a good workout for my traffic system! :-) - Martin
Thank you, Damien. That crease has been there since I bought the plane from the previous owners. Best guess on how to prevent it: Don't leave the cowling open unsecured on a windy day, and make sure it's securely locked before engine start. - Martin
Most ATC induced errors occur on ground control from my experience. This guy got himself totally confused and changed the taxi instruction from Hotel to Lima. He also told you to give way to the Lear which you correctly questioned when he changed the plan. Note this is a hotspot (HS1) on the taxi diagram. Probably due to ATC induced errors such as this one. Good job. One suggestion: Before starting to taxi be sure you have the route clear on the chart and are not guessing along the way. That way you would have realized that Lima was his error and corrected it immediately. I know this is easy to point out here but not so easy when in the cockpit single pilot. Airlines have the advantage of two pilots which I always recommend when going to busy airports -just for the taxiing. Hey did you go into that Delta airspace VFR before contacting the tower? Just kidding.
That is one "Big Airport" - HA, one day when I get a little more comfortable I'll do the same... Love the rear views of planes taking off at DFW! Lots of ADS-B traffic, beat you saw a couple of them visually! I noticed yo used COMM 2 for tower, whats your normal frequency set-up for COMMS (clearance, ground, tower, departure, etc.)? Good job asking ground for clarification, that WAS confusing!
Hi Ron, Regarding the radios: in my Bonanza, COMM1 is wired to an antenna on the bottom of the fuselage, COMM2 to an antenna on the roof. Therefore, COMM1 works best in the air, while COMM2 is my preferred radio on the ground. - Martin
@@martinpauly They used to call them 16 L and R. Not sure why they changed them to 16 and 17 when they are parallel. I too learned to fly at KFTW in the late 80s.
Excellent vid, I've flown over ORD many times on IFR departures to the south from PWK. Every time it's amazing. There are lots of engine-out landing spots available when one is over such a big airport. I like the tail cam. Why do you choose to point it to the rear as opposed to forward?
Thanks! I first pointed the tail camera backwards to recreate a scene from Top Gun, looking back at the carrier after take-off. OK, not QUITE the same in the Bonanza compared with the F-14, but I liked the look. So I've done it a few times since then. It also helps with sunlight: If my flight is into the sun, it's very hard to get a crisp picture of anything in front of me, but the tail camera will pick it up perfectly. So I get at least one good angle of whatever interesting things I'm flying over. Best, Martin
Martin Pauly I like how it looks too. I have a tail camera as well. I point it forward just from the reflex to “look forward”. But it gets dirty in flight so landings after a long flight look foggy. I like seeing the landing gear in the video and the people that see the video seem able to appreciate the frame of reference provided by the landing gear. But I see your perspective and I’ll try that.
Martin, you are an excellent pilot. I really like your videos as they are real and remind me of my travels. Maybe get to meet you some day and I’ll take you for an SX300 ride. My first love is Bonanzas but the SX is a time machine and can climb like an Angel
Maybe you can stick a 360/180 camera on the bottom of your aircraft? Should give some awesome perspectives and you can better remove the fisheye effects than on a regular wide-angle camera :)
I heard other airplanes coming from or going to (or both) Broadie's, which is a business off of Lima. He probably just thought that's where I had asked to go. - Martin
Hey Martin, if you're lookin' for a Baron, I know where there's a nice B55A that might be for sale, new engines, Avidyne avionics, I think it's in Alabama right now getting a JPI EDM-960. The owner is looking for a Commander 500, dontcha know. :p :D :-) LOL Nice flight over DFW, that IS one big airport, isn't it?
I have found that the electronic weather is either spot on or totally off. That's a good thing. Would be much worse if it reported ceilings of 300' when in fact it's 100'. - Martin
