Some of you have asked about the fees for landing and parking at the FBO here. There are fees, but they aren't terrible, at least for a single engine piston aircraft like my Bonanza. Landing is $7.50, and there is a $18 security fee (for what exactly, I don't know). Overnight parking is $20. And there is a $40 handling fee which is waived with a fuel purchase.
It looks like the "security fee" is entirely based on the FBO. If you look here: rampfee.me/search/kdsm#Light_Piston_Single and look at other major airports, you'll see that Atlantic is about the most expensive in the midwest on the security fee, while several FBO's have no security fee.
Martin, I'm a fan and was watching the flight to KMDW you posted July 10,2021. What was the actual date of this flight. My aircraft, N80146, shows up on your Avidyne display at time 25:20. Becky pointed out that our triangle was turning. Pretty cool.
Hi Bob, I just looked it up in my log book. The CID-MDW flight was on July 3, 2021. I remember Beckey and I watched the pre-Independence Day fireworks that night from the lake shore in Chicago. Do you remember what you were doing in N80146 at the time of our flight? Best regards, Martin
Yes, Martin I just looked it up in my logbook and I was doing my BFR air work between KLOT and KJOT in our club airplane on that day. How fortunate for me to be on your video. I'm VFR only and your videos help me to work on my ATC comm skills. Our airport is going to be class D in July with our new tower. So thank you very much. Keep them coming.
As usual, great flight! FINALLY started my private's - 3.5 hours in. I am planning on being a "Martin Pauly" style of pilot, emulating your skills, call-outs, briefings, etc. Safe flying sir!
👍☑️Love it when Becky rides along! Martin how many class B are still missing on the list? CNN breaking news, unconfirmed reports are coming in that famed UA-cam pilot Martin Pauly was flying to Chicago recently Rich of Peak!
Oh, I', still missing more than half of the Class Bravo airports in the nation. It'll be a while before I can claim them all. Re Rich of Peak: it's a good tool to have for the right time, just like Lean of Peak. 👍 - Martin
That was a splendid flight and as always Becky is a hoot. I would sure sign up for a date with Becky but I think that would get us both a boomerang effect. My wife would not let me back in the house and Becky might put you in the hospital. I cracked up when she responded to your remarks. "WHAT!?" Will we see you at ACCA? I plan on being there.
Is it ok to be talking to others on Frequency ? Or was that a comptroller ? Thats a real question not trying to be an sarcastic. I always wondered if it was short if its ok or is it a no no ? Love your videos always helpful & always informative.
Hi Michael. It depends on how busy the controller is and how much talking is going on on the frequency. Quite often there are relatively quiet times, and that's when it's usually OK to ask the controller a question or briefly say hi to another pilot who is on the same frequency. Just use common sense - when things get busy, limit your transmissions to just the necessary responses. - Martin
Excellent videos. I had some time away for financial reasons and wanted professional pre flight and in-flight ride alongs. Martin doesn't cut corners. Love the practice approaches in the soup. I did the same thing on bad days. One day that pays off. Thanks from a huge fan
Yayyy....Beckey. She doesn't let you slide a bit. Is that a swamp cooler in the back, or what is the 4" hose connected to? The outtakes are awesome. More of those!
Great video.I lived in the west suburbs and worked at a facility in the Morris/Joliet area. Always fun to see the sites from the air. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for bringing me along with you guys and love the outtakes. I will be looking forward to your next video. I'm also looking forward to finally getting to meet you that is if you're attending ACCA. I didn't make it last year but gonna make it happen this year. Hope to see you there brother 😁
Hi Kevin. Unfortunately I will not be at ACCA. For some reason I see I am on the list of attendees on the ACCA website, but my plan has been all long that I'll already be in Oshkosh that weekend. Enjoy ACCA, and if you make it to AirVenture afterwards, you can find me there for sure. Best regards, Martin
Martin, great video once again! I flew to MDW from Detroit this past weekend in my bonanza. I noticed your AC in the back seat that didn’t and wish I had and the your headset I bought at OSH air adventure this year. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Martin, I was wondering what happened to the multi-engine training? It would count as your bi-annual review. May I recomend the Seminole or the Duchess?
Thanks for a nice flight Martin & Becky! I always wondered what it is like landing in Chicago, now I know. It didn’t look too bad! Thanks again. Don/NE Ohio :-)
Most Bonanzas (I believe) have 1 throw over yoke. He could swing it over to the right, or keep on the left. But there aren’t two. It was designed as a traveling machine more than a trainer. Gives the passenger more room.
@@Roblox_Lover_12345 Ahh, that makes perfect sense (traveling as opposed to trainer)... and yea, i just saw a guy on a youtube video with one (i think his name is Martin Pauly - or something like that, he he), and he allowed an airline pilot to take the controls of his Bonanza and he swung it right over to the passenger side, wow, so cool !!!!
Hmm.. I put an Avidyne IFD550, an IFD540, two Avidyne AXP340 transponders, and an Avidyne audio panel in my C441. Huge regrets, big trouble. I should have stuck with tried and true Garmin.
@@martinpauly Where do I start? ADS-B fails two performance tests. Because I got the notification with the airplane in for phase inspection and significant airframe work, the airplane missed the 45 day deadline for demonstrating ADS-B performance, it was put on the “No Service Airplane List” so ATC literally won’t see it unless I make a special application for each flight. The airframe work was in Orlando so Avidyne, being fairly local, supposedly came up and fixed all of the issues. No, sorry, they are all still there. Cross-fill between IFD550 and IFD540 doesn’t work. IFD550 will not accept database updates. IFD550 won’t switch localizer frequency from standby to active. Datalink fails. There are others.
@@TIO540S1 Oh man, that does sound like a lot of trouble. I would have been very upset, too. Some of the kinds of things you mentioned - like failing the ADS-B performance test, or no cross-fill between multiple IFDs - sound like installation mistakes rather than broken equipment. An IFD not accepting database updates might be a problem wuth the unit, which is never fun, of course, but it should be replaced under warranty. There is a Facebook group called "Avidyne Pilots Club" which may be helpful for you; I've seen other people describe their installation and configuration issues in that group, and more often than not they can get things figure out. I hope there's a happy end for you, too. - Martin
@@martinpauly I thought it might be an installation issue but after Avidyne themselves supposedly fixed everything, I don’t know. They’re now saying “we need the wiring diagram from the installer.” But the installer says “we didn’t make a wiring diagram, we exactly followed the installation manual.” So… finger pointing. But thanks for the advice on the FB group, I’ll check it out.
Captain Martin, Always good to fly along with you. BUT CHICAGO!!?? As you ran your PreFlight checklist, I failed to hear, BULLETPROOF VEST: check!!! Really hope you & your lovely wife had a great time. As usual, your videos are always top notch. 📖🛐🛫🛬🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
We really like Chicago, Chuck. I understand there are neighborhoods south of the Loop where one shouldn't wander around, and we tend to stick to the more touristy part of town anyway. I felt very safe the whole time. Regards, Martin
@@martinpauly Martin, There was a time when me & my crew certainly looked forward to our layovers there. We have friends that live in Des plaines and while my wife was living we certainly enjoyed many many happy days in Chicago. The entire area is steeped in a tremendous history in sociological and industrial evolution. What has been happening and what happened over the July 4th holiday is nothing but pure Carnage.

Thanks for the ride Martin ! That was interesting, two UA-cam shoutouts in one flight 👍
Just to be clear the out takes were hilarious... Thanks for the fantastic educational content Martin!
Yeah, we had fun with this video!
Great having a co pilot with knowledge of the avionics and procedures at busy airports. Thanks for the vid. KAPF
Note to self: Scratch plans for Oshkosh. No date with Beckey possible. 😄. Enjoyed the heads up on the scroll bar as well.
The more you publish the more fans in the sky are recognizing your Bonanza Zeeeero TangoBravo call… way to go Marin.

No date with Beckey?!? What's the point then? Ha! Thanks, Martin.
Way behind on my youtube watching, Martin I'am sooooo bummed I missed out on the chance for a date with Miss Becky. :(
You should have been in Knoxville, Mike - you would have seen Beckey in person! 😁
- Martin
As a small boy during the wor i lay on my back in a south Mo field woundring what the pilots of thoes
When you do LOP, What MP , and RPM setting do you use?
Typically, I use wide-open throttle and 2500 RPM for LOP cruise.
- Martin
Great video Martin visit us at LL10 private airport. We will have a barbecue 🍖.
Love how you coordinated the sunglasses with turning on the AC. Lol. I need to get one to those coolers.
Discount at Midway? Hell NO!
Yeah, that's pretty much what they said at the FBO counter as well, just in nicer words. 😁
It's always great to watch these videos. You were quite popular today getting recognized by other pilots. :)
..another fun video..but did I really hear him call out Detroit on your takeoff.. DTW..not Midway..MDW..mmm...

Hey Hey Martin. That was me at 21:35.
Thanks for taking us along on this ride to MDW.
Thanks for saying hi!
- Martin
can you direct me to the correct part of the recording, 21:35 is just a blip
"No one to guide us...Does that mean a discount?" That was classic! 🤣🤣
Of course, there was no discount 😁

@@martinpauly So good news, you still have many more class B enjoyable flights to plan and take us on!
Cirrus....ugh, Bonanza
Martin's been doing some instructing!
What cooling unit are you using?
It's called B-Kool, Antonio. It's not evaporative, but works with a heat exchanger inside the cooler.
- Martin
“…will you be filming in Chicago? Martin has a stick that he puts a GoPro on, and walks through the streets…”
“…it’s called a Gimbal…” 😂😜👍
What is the brand of your air conditioner?
Martin, your wife Becky is a lovely gal and has a charming personality. It would be nice to see her ride along more often.
Thanks, John. I'll pass that along!
Nice approach brief at 24:00 👍
Great video with all the prpcedures and ATC instructions included, great job!
Thanks - glad you enjoyed the video.
- Martin
I don't remember the sky ever being that clear when I live in CR.... I could see my old hangar!
We have plenty of nice clear days here in Iowa. My biggest complaint is that about 1/3 of them are bitterly cold.
- Martin

Hi Preston. I will miss ACCA, since I'll already be setting up camp in the North 40 at Oshkosh that Friday. Will you be there as well?

Martin, has N70TB always had AC, or did I miss an upgrade video somewhere?

07:03 Cir---- Was that a Freudian slip?
That what I thought :-)
Yes... These days, I fly an SR20 more often than the Bonanza, as a CFI. So the callsign "Cirrus 822GT" slips out every now and then...
