That weather was perfect for real world training! It's been fascinating to watch this journey from panel upgrade to debugging the new avionics and now trying it in real world IFR. 70TB is a beautiful aircraft and its a joy to watch you take care of her and fly her with the utmost in professionalism.
Is it now the recommended way to fly is to manage the auto pilot system instead of hand flying and using auto pilot to do the cruise ops? I was trained to hand fly not to manage such systems for approaches and flight plan changes.
As far as I'm concerned, that was just about the most professional and entertaining video yet! The mixture of outside view, ATC, instrumentation, EFB and dialogue was pure joy for this X-Plane 12 user. Each video I think you have reached perfection but you keep improving them!
I have flown with lots of pilots in my career as a checkpilot and examiner. This is as good as flying gets right here. All of us should aspire to fly like Martin.
Wow, that was a little dicey :) Your calm demeanor and patience is something we can all take note of. Great job working through the missed approach and great video!
Martin this whole video was just about perfect. The different windows showing all the instruments was a very nice touch. Good job flying those approaches under real world hard IFR conditions. I'm sure it's also nice for the controllers there seeing what all is going on in the plane while they are talking to you. My Mooney gets out of the avionics shop in a few days, full Garmin glass, still KFC150 AP though. Can't wait to get out and fly some approaches it'd been awhile.
What an effort you put into this video. Really appreciate it. As a freshly licensed PPL VFR pilot (received my license in January this year) I can learn so much with your content. Thinking about getting Basic IFR rating in Germany. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work. Regards from your home country. Timo
Really nice of you to take us along for the ride, Martin. I much appreciated the fact that you basically showed all aspects of the approaches, rather than just "jumping" to the final segment. I learned a lot. And as others have mentioned, your use of the screen real estate was excellent. Great cinematography as well as piloting. It made a great Christmas present for me, hope Santa is equally as good to you and yours. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happ and safe New Year.
Glad I could put an early Christmas present for you under the tree, or at least on your computer monitor. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2023, Dave. - Martin
Thanks for sharing. Just got my IPC last weekend and made the transition to the all-digital Piper 100i cockpit. BIG transition after all the steam gauges.
I’m a VFR pilot, own and fly my C172 about 130 hours a year. Watching this video is amazing, completely day and night difference between VFR and IFR. Great job Martin!
Bud, with all due respect, time to consider that Instrument ticket. While I haven't been able to exercise my privileges in over 40 years, and all I have is a PPL, if I were, somehow, able to return to flying today, getting my Instrument rating would be near at the top of my list, especially if I owned my own airplane.
Wow, this is by far the best Avionics panel hands down! These new Attitude based systems have a precise knowledge that provides that extra degree of freedom that provides control responsiveness that is unmatched! Although not cheap I think it's well worth the investment. Thanks for the video, well done!
Thanks for your nice feedback. I am very pleased with the new panel and how it all works. A long wait for sure, and yes, it was not cheap - but it will serve me well for many years. - Martin
WOW Martin!! That was, by far, one of the best aviation videos I have had the pleasure of watching. Amazing camera angles and editing!! I realize what a tremendous effort it takes to edit and produce a video such as this. Bravo!
I am so glad that there are still those of us willing to practice actual single engine approaches to minimums. Nice work, Martin. It's weird that the Aspen does not use magenta for GPS approaches and green for ILS/VOR on the PFD. I prefer the way Garmin does it slightly better.
This was really such an excellent excellent video, so well done, all the different cameras to get the different angles, really was nice to watch the instrument flying with such low visibility. Did a really great job thank you for sharing this video!
Nicely done - video, editing, flying and explanations. I haven't flown actual IFR for a while and haven't yet transitioned to digital avionics, so this is extremely helpful to me. Thanks, Martin!
Martin - thanks for yet another awesome video - great video quality and production value combined with your dedication to remaining a highly proficient IFR pilot! I greatly benefitted from watching many of your videos where you show your very consistent procedures and workflow - helped me to nail down my own and passed my multi-IFR checkride 3 weeks ago here in Canada!
Your videos inspire me to remain proficient and most importantly are fun to watch. Another great reminder why I subscribed to this channel many moons ago.
As a future professional pilot, I can say that Martin is one of the role model pilots I look up to! The amount of hard work and pure professionalism of him make me admire him not just as a pilot, but also as a good person!
Merry Christmas 😊 (@15:30 you re-activated the approach. It was already activated because you were already magenta needles to a waypoint within the approach. Just thought I’d mention that as it’s something many of us don’t know.) Thanks for the terrific videos through 2022😊
Your new panel not only looks amazing it's very clean and well laid out making it easy to keep a better eye on everything . Great job on those approaches Martin and Merry Christmas to you and your family brother.
That was very well done Martin, I'm working on my IFR ground school on line, and this has helped me gain some understanding, getting a real time view. Excellent panel, looks like it works great. Thanks!
For about 3-4 weeks, I had a crazy Iranian CFII in Oakland. We flew in clouds, fog, and light rain. It did me good. I noticed you have 3 AI's, 2 in your Aspens, and 1 in the panel, separate. Looks like a Garmin, is it?
I love the way you edit the camera views to follow changes in focus. I'm also fascinated by your implementation of awesome new technology, I got my instrument rating on steam gauges back in the 80's where everything was manual and far more challenging. I no longer fly but love doing it vicariously through UA-cam. Thanks for what you do.
Martin great video! I have enjoyed all of your content. It is always educational, calm and precise. I passed my IFR checkride yesterday partly in thanks to your videos. Unfortunatley did not have time to stop at the Bakery in Pella after I was done!!
What an excellent video, such an awesome airplane and very well flown! I love how well you showed your avionics, selections and highlighting of important features. Very well done! Thanks for such an informative and well done video!
That was some IMC flying, both radial and vertical navigation. Merry Christmas and happy New year. Hopefully you get some relaxation on Christmas Day. Looking forward to more of your channel in 2023. 🌟 🌲
Wow! What a great Christmas present! Just love the avionics (the nerd in me!). Plus the video really seems to capture all of the intricacies and high workload of flying IMC. Happy Holidays to you. Happy Flying. I presume this gives you a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. My best regards to you.
Great video. Really loved the popping out and seeing the runway and then landing. That was amazing. It was a little unnerving thinking about my own landings. Generally I like to feel settled in at 500 feet and not being able to do that until 200 feet was eye-opening.
Yes, this is quite different. It's not just the low ceiling (200 feet), but the low visibility (1/2 mile when I started, about 1 mile when I finally landed) provides fewer cues for the flare and touchdown. It can be puzzling if you've never seen these conditions before, which is why I try to have my instrument students experience real IMC as part of their training. - Martin
Great flight and very nice job with the videography and camera placement. Beautiful panel and great flight!! Those are flights that you walk away from with a big boost to confidence and proficiency.
This was fantastic. I am going through instrument training now and such a big help to see actual to minimums, plus I have a saratoga with an Aspen 1000 and GTN750 so this video was very informative, great job!
Enjoyed your maneuvering around on the different approaches. Well done, systems look great. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Martin.
Thank you so much Martin for taking us with you on your 3 or so approaches I really enjoyed the details you highlighted on the approaches. I can’t wait for your next instrument flying video. Happy New Year 🎉to you and your family.

Man that was great thanks for sharing!!! I have to admit I had a little panic attack when she told you to plan one lap in the procedure turn hold. I was thinking "what do I press again???" In real time, (without pausing your video) I just figured I would go to OBS mode and use heading mode on the autopilot. Not even thinking that the easiest option was to just press suspend. That is why I love watching your videos. Even as an instrument rated pilot I am always learning and refreshing my training. PS loved the split screen views on Final. I felt like I was in the cockpit practicing my scans!!! Thanks for taking us along!!!! - Shane
I have been a subscriber for years. Is that a Halo? I still prefer mine over my Bose!! Thank you for your precision. I learn so much! I am 68 and I am starting my instrument rating journey after 20 years! 😊
Another Excellent Video, I have a question for you.. What Clock is that pictured above the GI275 at 14:48 in the video. I need to get a clock for my plane to be installed soon. Thanks
Thanks! The clock is from MidContinent ("CHRONOS Digital Clock / MAX Power USB Charger"). Here is a link: www.mcico.com/clocks-3/6420093-5 Regards, Martin
Just a thought on departing into lower ceilings… if the reciprocal runway has an ILS, I like to tune that into Nav2 so if I have a partial power failure, I have instant guidance back to the runway.
Yes, I remember that practice from the old days (pre GPS). Nothing wrong with doing this these days, too, of course; though I'd say loading an approach (RNAV or traditional) has become so easy with the modern GPS/NAV/COMs that it can quickly be done as needed during an actual emergency, without looking up frequencies and courses from an approach plate. Furthermore, if the (partial) power loss happens so low that 5-to-10 seconds of programming an approach matter, then returning to the airport may not be the greatest choice to begin with, at least at airports like my home base which is surrounded by miles and miles of flat farmland. I'm a proponent of finding a place to land straight ahead in those (very rare) cases. Regards, Martin
I'm approaching the end of my instrument training. Written is done, required hours, including the long cross country, are done. I have some actual IMC but no approaches in IMC (not counting one ILS decades ago). I suspect that I'll spend quite a few hours getting ready for the checkride. THe C172 I fly is all steam except for the Garmin 430. This video was fascinating. The AP seems to be helpful, especially at checklist time.
Hey Michael, good luck for completing your instrument training and your practical test. I would recommend to fly with an experienced CFII sometime in really low weather before you do it by yourself. It's one thing to break out (or take the hood off) at 200' AGL with 10 miles visibility; it's something quite different to see the runway with just half a mile of visibility. Regards, Martin
@@martinpauly I 100% agree Martin. I watched an instructor fly an ILS to minimums a few decades ago and I was amazed. One second there's nothing, then the ALS slowly comes into view, REILS and the runway, although not as distinct as it is during VFR. I like that kind of flying. It demands your attention.
Awesome video, Martin. I really enjoyed watching how you were able to leverage all the technology to execute an approach and landing to minimums. I will admit that I had problems seeing the runway at minimums, but I wasn't flying, so it was all okay. This goes to show that modern day avionics are head and shoulders, and probably most of the torso, above what I flew with back in the 70s and 80s. I thought having two NavComs, one with glideslope, was impressive! LOL N70TB should give you years of service and allow you to complete the mission as required. Thanks for sharing the trip(s) around the pattern with us.
Hi Gary. When I learned instrument flying back in the 90s, two NAV/COMs and a DME were standard. GPS existed but was far from mainstream, and certainly didn't provide the utility for IFR flying it provides today. Many things are much easier with all the technology we have today. Regarding seeing the runway at minimums: the GoPro cameras are not as good as the human eye in picking up those cues. I've notices that on a number of recorded flights were I am calling out "runway in sight" or "lights in sight" before I can later see them in the recorded video. GoPros are great, but our eyes are even better! - Martin
Excellent editing and coverage! Great video. I'm on a quest to buy my own plane (after 40 years of being paid to fly) within the next 6 months and have been trying to decide whether or not I want something IFR certified or a simpler VFR LSA. You have re-ignited my thoughts of getting something to satisfy that desire to break out at minimums with the runway straight ahead!!!
Thanks - I was very happy with the IFD; it's a great device and very capable, but I wanted to ensure that I have full compatibility between all my new items without any hiccups, and that turned me towards the Garmin GTNs. Regards, Martin
As always Martin, exceptional video ! I know how much effort this took to produce. Unfortunate with the issues with the Aspen. Aspen is less expensive for a reason although I am stuck waiting for the FAA to approve the GFC500 software update for certified aircraft.
This kind of flying gives me the willies. I had a bad experience in the soup during my IFR cross country. If my CFII hadn't been in the right seat, I would have been a smoking hole in the ground. I was eventually signed off for my instrument checkride, but I never flew it. I knew I was dangerous in the clouds, and if I got my rating, I would be tempted to use it. If the weather isn't good, it's skud running for me.
@@martinpauly I get it. I can hand fly an ILS down to minimums with just a VOR. When I got I to the clouds, I got disoriented and nauseous no matter how hard I tried to focus on the instruments.
That weather was perfect for real world training! It's been fascinating to watch this journey from panel upgrade to debugging the new avionics and now trying it in real world IFR. 70TB is a beautiful aircraft and its a joy to watch you take care of her and fly her with the utmost in professionalism.

Outstanding video!
Thank you very much!

I think I was out doing approaches on this exact day in Nebraska!
That's always good practice!
- Martin
I'm a real fan of this kind of video. Thanks
Glad to hear, Alan - I enjoy making them!
- Martin
Man that was great thanks for sharing!!! I have to admit I had a little panic attack when she told you to plan one lap in the procedure turn hold. I was thinking "what do I press again???" In real time, (without pausing your video) I just figured I would go to OBS mode and use heading mode on the autopilot. Not even thinking that the easiest option was to just press suspend. That is why I love watching your videos. Even as an instrument rated pilot I am always learning and refreshing my training. PS loved the split screen views on Final. I felt like I was in the cockpit practicing my scans!!! Thanks for taking us along!!!! - Shane
I'm glad you enjoyed coming along on this flight, Shane, and that you learned something in the process!
- Martin
I have been a subscriber for years. Is that a Halo? I still prefer mine over my Bose!! Thank you for your precision. I learn so much! I am 68 and I am starting my instrument rating journey after 20 years! 😊
Spectacular video!!
Thank you 😀
Another Excellent Video, I have a question for you.. What Clock is that pictured above the GI275 at 14:48 in the video. I need to get a clock for my plane to be installed soon. Thanks
Thanks! The clock is from MidContinent ("CHRONOS Digital Clock / MAX Power USB Charger"). Here is a link:

Just a thought on departing into lower ceilings… if the reciprocal runway has an ILS, I like to tune that into Nav2 so if I have a partial power failure, I have instant guidance back to the runway.
Yes, I remember that practice from the old days (pre GPS). Nothing wrong with doing this these days, too, of course; though I'd say loading an approach (RNAV or traditional) has become so easy with the modern GPS/NAV/COMs that it can quickly be done as needed during an actual emergency, without looking up frequencies and courses from an approach plate. Furthermore, if the (partial) power loss happens so low that 5-to-10 seconds of programming an approach matter, then returning to the airport may not be the greatest choice to begin with, at least at airports like my home base which is surrounded by miles and miles of flat farmland. I'm a proponent of finding a place to land straight ahead in those (very rare) cases.

Martin
The Execjet pilot has a nice ASMR voice.
You're a celebrity at that airport! Great video!
Masterpiece video. The best.
Thank you kindly!

I'm approaching the end of my instrument training. Written is done, required hours, including the long cross country, are done. I have some actual IMC but no approaches in IMC (not counting one ILS decades ago). I suspect that I'll spend quite a few hours getting ready for the checkride. THe C172 I fly is all steam except for the Garmin 430.
This video was fascinating. The AP seems to be helpful, especially at checklist time.
Hey Michael, good luck for completing your instrument training and your practical test. I would recommend to fly with an experienced CFII sometime in really low weather before you do it by yourself. It's one thing to break out (or take the hood off) at 200' AGL with 10 miles visibility; it's something quite different to see the runway with just half a mile of visibility.
Regards,
Martin
@@martinpauly I 100% agree Martin. I watched an instructor fly an ILS to minimums a few decades ago and I was amazed. One second there's nothing, then the ALS slowly comes into view, REILS and the runway, although not as distinct as it is during VFR. I like that kind of flying. It demands your attention.
Nice Job Martin...loved the video and boy did you grease that landing Nice Job!
Thanks, Andrew - the Bonanza is easy to land, it makes me look good.
- Martin
@martinpauly I've seen plenty of them bounced around. Nice job just the same. Love the videos thanks again!
Well equipped airplane nice video.
Thanks!
Awesome video, Martin. I really enjoyed watching how you were able to leverage all the technology to execute an approach and landing to minimums. I will admit that I had problems seeing the runway at minimums, but I wasn't flying, so it was all okay.
This goes to show that modern day avionics are head and shoulders, and probably most of the torso, above what I flew with back in the 70s and 80s. I thought having two NavComs, one with glideslope, was impressive! LOL N70TB should give you years of service and allow you to complete the mission as required.
Thanks for sharing the trip(s) around the pattern with us.
Hi Gary. When I learned instrument flying back in the 90s, two NAV/COMs and a DME were standard. GPS existed but was far from mainstream, and certainly didn't provide the utility for IFR flying it provides today. Many things are much easier with all the technology we have today.
Regarding seeing the runway at minimums: the GoPro cameras are not as good as the human eye in picking up those cues. I've notices that on a number of recorded flights were I am calling out "runway in sight" or "lights in sight" before I can later see them in the recorded video. GoPros are great, but our eyes are even better!

Great work! Nice video!
Thanks 😀
Excellent editing and coverage! Great video. I'm on a quest to buy my own plane (after 40 years of being paid to fly) within the next 6 months and have been trying to decide whether or not I want something IFR certified or a simpler VFR LSA. You have re-ignited my thoughts of getting something to satisfy that desire to break out at minimums with the runway straight ahead!!!
Thank you. Whatever you end up buying, I hope it'll provide a lot of fun on many flights!
- Martin
Nice to see you putting out new flying content Martin! Sad you left the Avidyne family, but your new panel looks sweet!
Thanks - I was very happy with the IFD; it's a great device and very capable, but I wanted to ensure that I have full compatibility between all my new items without any hiccups, and that turned me towards the Garmin GTNs.
Regards,
Martin
As always Martin, exceptional video ! I know how much effort this took to produce. Unfortunate with the issues with the Aspen. Aspen is less expensive for a reason although I am stuck waiting for the FAA to approve the GFC500 software update for certified aircraft.
Thank you, and good luck for your upgrade!

This kind of flying gives me the willies. I had a bad experience in the soup during my IFR cross country. If my CFII hadn't been in the right seat, I would have been a smoking hole in the ground. I was eventually signed off for my instrument checkride, but I never flew it. I knew I was dangerous in the clouds, and if I got my rating, I would be tempted to use it. If the weather isn't good, it's skud running for me.
I guess it's not for everyone. I quite enjoy flying in the clouds and the challenge of flying an approach in low IMC.
- Martin
@@martinpauly I get it. I can hand fly an ILS down to minimums with just a VOR. When I got I to the clouds, I got disoriented and nauseous no matter how hard I tried to focus on the instruments.
Danke für das Video, schöne Grüsse aus Basel.
Freut mich, dass es Dir gefallen hat!
