Loved watching you staying ahead of the airplane - briefing an ILS on a severe clear day to be familiar with possible waypoints that ATC might send you to - and then loading an approach so those waypoints would be quickly available for a "direct to" command. Good stuff that is valuable in the real world.
Thanks for bringing us along with you Martin...very well made and explained..I am a low hour, relatively speaking, 172 pilot and only get to fly a couple hours a month. Your videos keep me current. Thanks again!
for those pilots in the Midwest KCMI is a wonderful airport to practice approaches with real world activity. Martin I love your approaches to the runway , where you keep the end of the runway about 1-2 inches above your windshield base. This one was a little flat but good :)
I've driven from Kansas City to Cedar Rapids once. I'm not a big fan of road trips, and I would be totally OK if I didn't have to do it again. :-) - Martin
Interesting comment, John, given this video is based on older footage and shows the OLD glass. :-) I have since then upgraded to a pair of Avidyne IFDs, which are a very nice step up from the GNS units you see in this video. Best regards, Martin

Martin, I wanted to say thanks for leaving my comparison message up, you proved yourself a stand up guy. I enjoy your channel and hope to continue seeing the old you flying into the class Bravo airports across the nation. That said, if you are ever in the Nor-Cal area again, give Jerry a comment on his channel, we would like you to experience the true fun and safety of Jerry's 414 and/or my 414AW without all the UA-cam haters around. These are magnificent cabin class aircraft with stunning avionics, great handling capabilities and superior comfort in classic turbo piston twins. I'm sure (with an open mind) you would thoroughly enjoy the ride. Until then stay UN-POLITICAL and safe flying to you friend...
Martin, I knew your nickname was Roger. ; ) Excellent job, as usual! Don't be too critical about your landing. Aside from landing a bit fast being beneficial in this case, you sailed into that Class B and handled everything flawlessly, without ever missing a beat. Always ahead, and quick to respond, ATC must love you, as you are as smooth and professional (or more so) as any of the pros coming in in the large transports. Your experience flying into Class B primaries is really showing.
I'm hoping so! Time always flies so fast (no pun intended : / ), and before I know it, those events come around again and I'm still mired in the projects I've taken on. (Welcome to self-employment...) However, I have already started making plans w/friends, to be at Air Venture. Well in advance! Hopefully it will work out.
I agree with flyby2474...You should have way more subs than 15.6. You have have been putting out such good quality videos. Thanks Martin this one was excellent (AS USUAL) !!!
Sir, nice video. VERY cool for me. I’m currently a controller at Cedar Rapids and my hometown is Platte City just outside of the MCI airport. I’ll keep your callsign in mind and say hey if I hear you call up!
Thanks for the introduction! It'll be a while before you hear N70TB on frequency again, as my Bonanza is in the shop for some upgrades, but you may hear my voice in other aircraft, like N822GT (an SR-20) during flight training. Regards, Martin

Martin, I was excited to see this video publish. I anxiously anticipated your commentary about the mountain of rubble that was terminal A. But alas it was still standing, Then I read the disclaimer about it being shot in 2019. I expect that the area where Terminal A stood is as different as your new panel.
John, I have not been back to MCI since then - this recording was in January 2019. So I take it they've demolished one of the terminal buildings? Are they building a new one, or what is the plan for this airport? Best regards, Martin
Martin Pauly KMCI is my home airport for commercial flights. It has a long and storied past. The linked Wikipedia article tells it pretty well. I also fly there regularly for one reason or another. It is a nice airport to land at. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_City_International_Airport. Also you can learn more about the new terminal at www.buildkci.com/recycling-terminal-a/ or just www.buildkci.com/background/ Terminal A disappeared during the month of June 2019. When the north end of the new terminal is completed on the footprint of the old terminal, it will open and Terminal B will close and be demolished and the south part of the new terminal will be completed. Terminal C will remain and be converted to commercial space.
Thanks Martin! The filming and editing is as interesting (I'm trying to learn that part) as the flying. Great job on both! I've seen your other excellent vids on the subject.
Glad you like it! If you'd like to learn more about recording and editing, I'm presenting at an EAA Webinar on February 11 on "Tips & Tricks for Recording In-Flight Videos". Best, Martin
Great video, by far the most thoughtful and educated beechcraft YT videos. Thanks! A question, if you have time, if you are on the visual and have to go missed for any reason, do you assume you are going to follow the published procedure for the ILS? Or are you just planning to fly straight out with the assumption that the tower will give you vectors?
So the visual approach by itself does not have a missed approach portion. The assumption is if the approach has to canceled and a go-around is necessary, ATC would tell me then what exactly they want me to do. Which as a matter of fact is typically what happens during an actual instrument missed approach as well; in my experience it is rare that the missed approach is flown "as published", but it has to be defined of course if for no other reason than a lost comm situation. Regards, Martin
Wieder ein sehr schönes Flugvideo, Martin, vielen Dank. Eine Frage: Wenn man beim Rollen mit Ground Frequency die Tower Frequenz monitoren soll, ist das eigentlich eine Aufforderung dem Frequenzwechsel, oder bleibt man dann noch auf der Ground-Frequenz und soll beide Freqenzen parallel abhören (war bei einem anderen Flugzeug in KMCI zum Schluss des Videos)?
Hallo Marc, Schön, von Dir zu hören, und ich habe mich sehr gefreut, dass wir uns im Herbst nochmal treffen konnten. Zu Deiner Frage: "Monitor XYZ" heisst, dass man die Frequenz wechselt. Anders als bei "Contact XYZ" meldet man sich dann aber dort nicht sofort an, sondern wartet, bis XYZ einen über Funk ruft. Das spart bei Routinetransfers ein paar Worte auf der Frequenz. Herzliche Grüsse aus Iowa, und alles Gute für 2020! - Martin
@@martinpauly Vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort, Martin. Ich hatte mich ebenfalls sehr gefreut Dich nach der langen Zeit wiederzusehen und dabei Deine Familie kennenzulernen - und ich habe einen sehr kurzweiligen Abend in Erinnerung ;-) Ebenfalls alles Gute, Glück und Zufriedenheit Dir und Deiner Familie im neuen Jahr und noch einen schönen Sonntag, Marc.
Hi Martin, i am buying an A36 soon, fingers crossed pre buy on saturday, so am curious about the step up from my pa28: How many miles out does it take you to slow from a 170Kt cruise to gear down/approach speed? And when on approach do you change the prop pitch from high to low/ landing config? ......p.s. a video on constant speed prop procedures/ technique in different phases of flight for us fixed pitch people would be V interesting.
Hi Andy, good luck for the pre buy inspection. I never found it hard to slow down my A36, to the point where I can offer ATC to fly at 150 KIAS to almost the FAF and then slow down a bit before lowering the gear. Once the gear is down, it slows down easily. Of course most approaches I don't fly that fast, I just mention it to point out that slowing down is not hard in the A36. I find myself thinking more about descent planning than controlling speed. At the faster speeds, especially in the descent, the Bonanza covers a lot of miles during the descent. So do a little math ahead of time to plan how many minutes the descend to pattern altitude will take and how many miles that is for your ground speed while descending. The start lower accordingly. All the best for flying your new Bonanza! - Martin
I don't remember exactly - it was over a year ago, and I didn't save the receipt unfortunately. I don't believe it was outrageous, or else I probably WOULD remember it. :-) - Martin
The (hopefully not surprising) answer to this puzzle is: This is old footage from January 2019. I had all but forgotten about it, but didn't want to dismiss it. I still have and love the Avidyne IFDs and the JPI 930. No way I'd want to go back! Best regards, Martin
I could imagine that in very poor visibility a pilot might mistake the service road for a taxiway. No risk for that on the beautiful sunny day I went. Best, Martin
Thanks, Aaron. ASSC stands for "Airport Surface Surveillance Capability". It provides a display of surface movement (aircraft and vehicles) at the airport to the Tower/Ground controllers. Here is a description: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_Surface_Surveillance_Capability Best, Martin
Thanks, Abraham. I got my commercial certificate last November and will finish the multi-engine rating this year. It made sense to do them in this order. - Martin
08:25 Martin, I'm nitpicking, but I believe the instruction was "cleared to Kansas City Airport" (KMCI), not RW27... they are not (quite) the same location in space. Übrigens, ich hab' immer deine Videos genossen!
Oh yes, I was wondering how quickly somebody would point this out. :-) You are correct, of course. The textbook response would have been to add KMCI back to the GPS flight plan - it was removed when I added the approach - and go there. By going to the runway instead, I saved a bunch of button pushing - without making a noticeable difference to my flight path, given how far away I was from the airport. You know, my CDI/HSI is only so accurate... Beste Grüsse aus Iowa! - Martin
@@martinpauly, Garmin got smarter with the G1000 and later systems... when you add the Approach (and/or Arrival), the destination airport stays in the Flight Plan right where it was ('cause that's your Clearance Limit after all), and the Arrival/Approaches get "loaded" below the destination airport.
Hi Matt. Sure, go to my website (www.martin.aero) and go to the form where you can contact me about the "Talk to Martin" show. Just leave your info there. - Martin
At 8,000 you were able to receive the ATIS from 80 nautical miles away. I thought the ATIS transmitters were power-limited to transmit a signal limited to 50 miles radius?
The distance from which one can receive an ATC radio signal (like the ATIS) varies quite a bit. Also, it's not like you can receive it at a certain distance and not another mile away - instead, reception gradually gets better the closer you get to the transmitter. With ATIS, I start trying typically from 100 miles away; if I receive nothing or if it's too noisy, I wait and try again. Regards, Martin
Thanks, David. I'm afraid don't see a Malibu in my future. It's a beautiful airplane with impressive performance and capabilities, but typical Malibu ownership/maintenance costs more than I can afford. Also, I've tried to sit in one, and found I cannot sit well in the cockpit - my legs are too long, and my knees block the ailerons. Best regards, Martin
Yes, good question... I like the challenge of a large, busy airport, and hope that one day I will have been to all Class Bravo airports in the lower 48. It's a bucket list item, nothing more. Best regards, Martin
Well done as always Martin! Do you think the question “would you prefer 19R” was really a hint for you to say yes and stay out of the flow of the big boys to 27?
Maybe someone from the KC TRACON will see this and chime in, but I didn't think so. If they needed me on 19R for operational reasons, they could have simply assigned it - the crosswind favored 27, was was well within the acceptable range for 19R. I think he just offered me the convenience of landing closer to the FBO, which was a nice gesture but at that point I was set up and briefed for runway 27 - I addition to the more favorable winds there. Best regards, Martin
In all honesty, 19R was offered for your convenience. It’s a lot shorter taxi to the FBO. Rather than taxi the south end of the airport to almost the north. I can’t speak for all of us but I don’t offer anything just to make it easier on me. I try to think about what a pilot might want. Sometimes I’m wrong.
@@Superspooby Thanks for confirming - and for giving me the choice. I could see pilots go either way on this - a quick taxi is usually nice; on the other hand this meant a change in plan late in the game and landing in an (admittedly light) crosswind. I think in this case either runway would have been fine. On a related note: If you have a string of arrivals all coming into 27 and no easy way of fitting me in, I have no problem at all if you simply assign me the other runway (or ask if I can accept it, depending on the winds). Best regards, Martin
Echt? War eigentlich ein normaler Flug bei sehr guten Wetterbedingungen. Ist allerdings auch schon ein Jahr her (Januar 2019). Alles Gute für 2020! - Martin
My understanding is a "dog leg" is when you are not on downwind, base, or final from a textbook traffic pattern, but aiming for the runway at a 45 degree angle. Good luck for your flight training and for getting your certificate! - Martin
I'm not following, Richard. I landed long; which Embraer are you referring to? Do you have a time stamp in the video I can go to to see what you mean? Regards, Martin
@@martinpauly I believe he though you were just landing long to avoid wake turbulence rather than what I assume the controller had you landing long for, which was the shorter taxi and keeps you out of the way of the planes coming out of the terminal.
Hi Martin, the point on the video is about 18 minutes. You have been told that an Embraer is landing before you land. And you chose to land beyond the intersecting runway. Did you actually see the Embraer land at a specific point on the runway, or did you just assume that it landed prior to the intersecting runway and therefore landing beyond that point, beyond the intersecting runway, would be in an area that did not have wingtip vortices from the preceding landing of the Embraer?
@@Richard-nq5pj Ah, yes - I see what you are referring to now. So my assumption is that a jet hardly ever lands long; jets aim for 1,000' and generally touch down between 500' - 1,500' from the threshold. With the 9 knot headwind we had that day, any wake turbulence was going to be out of touchdown zone before I could get there. My decision to land long that day had more to do with Tower wanting me to exit at the end of the runway. I can get to the end much faster if I land halfway down this very long runway, and with traffic behind me, I wanted to vacate the runway quickly. Best regards, Martin
You guessed it. This footage is from January 2019; I just now got around to turning it into a video. The Avidyne IFDs and the JPI 930 are still in my panel, and will stay there - I love them! Best regards, Martin
It felt pretty bad in the plane, Norbert. I touched down with the nose wheel slightly earlier than the main wheels. The resulting pitch oscillations felt pretty annoying - probably doesn't look as bad on the video as it was sitting in the cockpit. Best, Martin
Martin, you have the best most informative videos out there. You should have 100k subs!

At 8,000 you were able to receive the ATIS from 80 nautical miles away. I thought the ATIS transmitters were power-limited to transmit a signal limited to 50 miles radius?
The distance from which one can receive an ATC radio signal (like the ATIS) varies quite a bit. Also, it's not like you can receive it at a certain distance and not another mile away - instead, reception gradually gets better the closer you get to the transmitter. With ATIS, I start trying typically from 100 miles away; if I receive nothing or if it's too noisy, I wait and try again.

Thanks for another great video. Is a Malibu on your horizon?
Thanks, David.
I'm afraid don't see a Malibu in my future. It's a beautiful airplane with impressive performance and capabilities, but typical Malibu ownership/maintenance costs more than I can afford. Also, I've tried to sit in one, and found I cannot sit well in the cockpit - my legs are too long, and my knees block the ailerons.
Best regards, Martin
Curious... Why do you choose to fly to KMCI and not KMKC (Charles B Wheeler Airport), where your friend in the Baron was "On Approach"?
Yes, good question... I like the challenge of a large, busy airport, and hope that one day I will have been to all Class Bravo airports in the lower 48. It's a bucket list item, nothing more.
Best regards, Martin
Ahh, I totally understand! :)
This must be an old video. You have the Avidyne equipment now.
You are right. Found some old footage from a year ago which I hadn't processed yet.
- Martin
@@martinpauly Yeah, I was wondering were the Avidyne was?!
Well done as always Martin! Do you think the question “would you prefer 19R” was really a hint for you to say yes and stay out of the flow of the big boys to 27?
He wasn't comfortable with the x-wind. So he said no
Maybe someone from the KC TRACON will see this and chime in, but I didn't think so. If they needed me on 19R for operational reasons, they could have simply assigned it - the crosswind favored 27, was was well within the acceptable range for 19R. I think he just offered me the convenience of landing closer to the FBO, which was a nice gesture but at that point I was set up and briefed for runway 27 - I addition to the more favorable winds there.
Best regards, Martin
In all honesty, 19R was offered for your convenience. It’s a lot shorter taxi to the FBO. Rather than taxi the south end of the airport to almost the north. I can’t speak for all of us but I don’t offer anything just to make it easier on me. I try to think about what a pilot might want. Sometimes I’m wrong.
@@Superspooby Thanks for confirming - and for giving me the choice. I could see pilots go either way on this - a quick taxi is usually nice; on the other hand this meant a change in plan late in the game and landing in an (admittedly light) crosswind. I think in this case either runway would have been fine.
On a related note: If you have a string of arrivals all coming into 27 and no easy way of fitting me in, I have no problem at all if you simply assign me the other runway (or ask if I can accept it, depending on the winds).
Best regards, Martin
Hallo Martin. Sie wirken in diesem Video etwas angestrengt und nicht so locker als sonst ... Vielen Dank für die Uploads und den Content. Alles Gute!
Echt? War eigentlich ein normaler Flug bei sehr guten Wetterbedingungen. Ist allerdings auch schon ein Jahr her (Januar 2019).
Alles Gute für 2020!

What is 'on a dog leg?' Im a student pilot.
My understanding is a "dog leg" is when you are not on downwind, base, or final from a textbook traffic pattern, but aiming for the runway at a 45 degree angle.
Good luck for your flight training and for getting your certificate!

Did you see where the Embraer touched down in order to land long?
I'm not following, Richard. I landed long; which Embraer are you referring to?
Do you have a time stamp in the video I can go to to see what you mean?
Regards, Martin
@@martinpauly I believe he though you were just landing long to avoid wake turbulence rather than what I assume the controller had you landing long for, which was the shorter taxi and keeps you out of the way of the planes coming out of the terminal.
Hi Martin, the point on the video is about 18 minutes. You have been told that an Embraer is landing before you land. And you chose to land beyond the intersecting runway. Did you actually see the Embraer land at a specific point on the runway, or did you just assume that it landed prior to the intersecting runway and therefore landing beyond that point, beyond the intersecting runway, would be in an area that did not have wingtip vortices from the preceding landing of the Embraer?
@@Richard-nq5pj Ah, yes - I see what you are referring to now. So my assumption is that a jet hardly ever lands long; jets aim for 1,000' and generally touch down between 500' - 1,500' from the threshold. With the 9 knot headwind we had that day, any wake turbulence was going to be out of touchdown zone before I could get there. My decision to land long that day had more to do with Tower wanting me to exit at the end of the runway. I can get to the end much faster if I land halfway down this very long runway, and with traffic behind me, I wanted to vacate the runway quickly.
Best regards, Martin
An older video, no Avidyne, no JPI?
You guessed it. This footage is from January 2019; I just now got around to turning it into a video. The Avidyne IFDs and the JPI 930 are still in my panel, and will stay there - I love them!
Best regards, Martin
Did you throw out that Avadyne? Or is this just older footage?
It's old footage. The flight was in January 2019.

Not a good landing, are you kidding me?
It felt pretty bad in the plane, Norbert. I touched down with the nose wheel slightly earlier than the main wheels. The resulting pitch oscillations felt pretty annoying - probably doesn't look as bad on the video as it was sitting in the cockpit.
Best, Martin
