Fun Flight to Fort Myers Page Field
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Page Field in Fort Myers, FL is a great general aviation airport with a popular FBO, Base Ops. I hadn't been to Page Field in five years, so I was excited when flight training needs recently presented a reason to fly back to Fort Myers - from our temporary home this winter in Melbourne. The flight was operated under IFR, but it was a clear day with great flying conditions.
Route of flight: KMLB MLBSO LBV KFMY
Altitude: 8,000' MSL

I really liked the controller at Melbourne. He spoke very clearly and absolutely on point. I had a good mental picture what was going on just sitting here listening to him. Great flight Martin! Florida is always busy but fun. As always thanks for bringing us along with you.
Thanks, Kevin - glad you enjoyed the flight!
- Martin
Loved that FlySto video Martin. That's cool! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it, Preston!
Have a good weekend.

Really enjoying your videos, Martin. I'm coming to the USA soon to fly around the country and it's been invaluable watching you fly in U.S. airspace in such a professional way. Very helpful to build a picture of what to expect in terms of airspace, RTF, instrument procedures, etc. Thank you!
I'm glad I can help, and I hope you'll have a great time with many memorable flights here in the US!
If your trip is such that it can include an overnight stay in Mason City, IA (KMCW) on the third Thursday of any month, you should plan to stop there for the monthly airport BBQ. Thank me later!

@@martinpauly haha, alright! That's the kind of tips I'm after - thanks!
Hi Martin. It's always good to get some time in the air with you. It helps me do some armchair flying to keep my brain in shape for flying my A36 out of KDYL. I noticed those nasty red "expired" tags on the taxi diagram on your iPad. Was there a download update missing on your EFB?
Thanks, Frank. I must have been missing some of the latest Jeppesen charts update. I have since purged all downloads and gotten a fresh data dump of everything, and it seems to be OK now.

Hi there Martin! Just moved to KCOI Merritt Island, joined the flight club here & EAA 724 -
helped out at the Women In Aviation at KMEL 2 weeks ago, lot of smart people here, life is good, thanks for your distance mentorship over the years that has helped me a lot!!!!!!!!!
Think I’ll finally pursue my commercial ticket now that things are falling into place.
Cheers 🥂 Christine 🙋♀️
Great video, Martin! Love your custom check list! Every pilot should have one when possible. Your adherence to safety is commendable, safety compliments the joy of flying.
Thanks for the kind words, Eugene. On my list of videos to make is one about checklists; I'll go into more detail on what I did and why then.

Your last two flights, FlySto has shown you landing 8' left of center. Is your rudder broken?
😂
I really enjoy riding with you, always a pleasure to follow along and learn!
You might be onto something, David. Maybe I need to check the trim or rigging of my plane! 🤣
- Martin
What took you to MLB? I flew in there a couple days ago out of KORL.
What took me to MLB? The winter weather back home, of course! 😁

Martin in my Lazy boy recovering from surgery. I really enjoyed this video, a lot more than usual. See you at the Beach Craft Bash in the Blue Grass👍❤️
Best wishes for a quick recovery - see you in Kentucky!
- Martin
Great flight Martin appreciate all of the detail you provide. It helps make me a better pilot!
Thanks, Shane!

Another great video, Martin! Thanks for bringing us along into KFMY.

Thank you, Lee!

Hallo Martin ,wieder ein schönes Video . Hier in Deutschland hat es fast drei Monate geregnet und wir konnten nicht viel fliegen aber es wird besser .Liebe Grüße Frank
Hallo Frank, hoffentlich wird das Wetter bald besser.
- Martin
To do this kind of flying in the IFR world of busy south Florida, you again demonstrate being at the top of your game. Busy busy! Well done!
Martin, met you a couple of years ago at AirVenture. Great, professional flight. I’m in Cape Coral right now. My friend from Naples and I flew from Naples to Marathon last week. He’s got a very nice Dakota. He wanted to fly up to Page this week to take me up again, but I’m with grandkids having a ball. Have a nice trip home.
Thank you, Gary - enjoy your time with the grandkids!
- Martin
Poor reception from provider
Page?! I live 1.25 miles off of 31 @KFMY and I saw N70TB on the FlightRadar Sat. It didn't even register at the time that was you!!!
I live in Melbourne!! I could have bought you dinner.
Sister Lives in Ft. Myers.(originally (Ft. Myers Beach) Still rebuilding after the Hurricane.
Your videow are so impressive. Thank you!
Thank you, Jerry.

Hi Martin. What efb app are you using?
Hi Bill. What you’re seeing here is Garmin Pilot.
Great video, Martin! I bought one of the Inogen Oxygen generators. I believe you said in your video you could charge it in the plane. I thought your Bonanza was 28 volt. In the instruction book it says 12-15 volt. Did you get an adapter or does 28 volt work? Thanks
Really enjoyed the video, what I liked the most is you displayed what you were doing. Being a visual learner it was very helpful even though I still don't understand what's happening 😂.
Kinda crazy the tower wants you to have whisky, must be bad weather ahead or something, expecting a bad flight so whisky is needed.
(Humor)
Thank you for awesome content!!!!
My pleasure!
- Martin
I would die to have Martin pick us up at ANY and make a round trip to
Enid for some pig.
I love that all these years your videos get even better, but you are still the same cool guy in them. Great channel mate. I was wondering do you use Foreflight?
Really enjoyed this show as is usual with your videos. Thank you
Thank you, Kevin!
- Martin
Thank you!!! Welcome to Florida!!, Love those training areas, have to fly them all the time.
Hi. Martin, as always enjoying your videos. You by far have the best on screen graphics. Have you been to the Edison Ford museum at Fort Myers? Safe travels
Hi Mike - yes, I've been to the Edison and Fort museum in Fort Myers, but it was a while ago - maybe five years or so. What a beautiful estate!
- Martin
Great quality video!, Great editing really loved the flight
Thanks for the great flight, Martin! Nice to see you in Florida! Cedar Rapids is way too cold this time of year! Flew to Buckeye this last weekend for the AOPA Fly In. Lots of fun! And, got the wife to go with me, too! She hadn't been in the airplane for a couple of years... We had a great time. Hope to see you this summer at Oshkosh. Rick in Tucson.
Glad you could join the AOPA fly-in, Rick!

One more great video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Martin, I subscribed just today, I like your professional flying, something for me to aim for!
I have just purchased a 1978 A36, I was wondering what year yours is, the old panel layout seemed almost identical to mine.
Very interesting video’s particularly interested in anything A36 currently of course, mine has a 520 almost running out of hours not sure about 550 upgrade though, looking forward to watching the video on your upgrade. My century 3 autopilot is in-operative as well so there’s another problem. Thanks for all your content enjoyed the one with Doug regarding engine failures after take off, great information!
My A36 is a 1978 model, too - so the similarity is no coincidence. The IO-550 is a great engine for this airframe, eliminating most concerns about take-off and climb performance, flying in the summer, and flying in the mountains. I've never met an A36 owner who did the upgrade and then later wished they hadn't.
Regards,
Martin
Hi Martin. Great video. On your departure brief I would suggest adding lower nose to maintain best glide speed. IMO If you have a total engine failure your airspeed is going to decrease rapidly if you don’t lower your nose. Just a reminder to self to watch your airspeed because there is going to be a startle factor if that would happen. Blue Skies!
Agreed - lowering the nose is important. I would add that this is a gerat argument against Vx/Vy climbs - keep the pitch attitude shallow if runway length, terrain and obstacles allow, and build some airspeed. That why you'll see me accelerate to 120 KIAS so soon right after take-off.

Quick question: When on a visual approach, how do you know what altitude to set for your missed approach? You put 2000 in the FD in case of missed in this video. Thanks!
There is no published missed approach for a visual approach; thus there isn't a published missed approach altitude. If a real missed approach was necessary, Tower would issue instructions for heading and altitude. The published missed approach altitude is a good default value to have, though, in case of a lost-comm situation - it's a safe altitude to climb to if all else fails.

Das war wieder ein erstklassiges Flugvideo! Besonders die FlySto-Einbledungen haben mir sehr gefallen. 👍🏼😃
FlySto gefällt mir sehr gut - und ich entdecke immer wieder neue, sehr nützliche Features!
- Martin
Another great video Martin, Thanks
Nice video Martin!! Looks like you got away from Iowa during the right time!
Yes, I did. Though I should add that was the ONE cold and snowy week Iowa had this winter. It's been rather mild for the most part.
- Martin
Great, Concise, well presented video, as always. Thank you. 😊
Thank you for the kind feedback!
- Martin
I took my MEI training and checkride there last year. Big Blue is a fond memory.
Congrats on the MEI, David. They sure have a big flight school there, plus FIT on the south side.

What are u using to mount the iPad?
Please see here for the mount I use:

- Martin
@@martinpaulyso the clamp is over the yoke but just offset to the right? Why doesn’t the iPad turn when the you turn the yoke?
Great flight Martin. Currently in Cape Coral visiting friends. Your turn base to final literally over their house. Nice short hop and good landing.
Glad I could give you the aerial view of your friends' house!
- Martin
Fun when you can relate to a good video. Thx for the reply. Busy airport close up RSW. Thx Martin.
Fun flight. I rent from Paragon at Page in the winter and fly out of Flying Cloud in the summer. Flying in FL is a little different than the Midwest. If you get time fly to Key West - the views are amazing!
Flying in MN in the summer and in FL in the winter - that's the best of both worlds!
I've been to Key West a few times: ua-cam.com/video/3p725euDq7Q/v-deo.html

@@martinpauly awesome - thanks for sharing the link
Amazing content… 🫡
Very high production value. Well done.
Much appreciated!

A Client?
👍🏻
Well done all around. Thanks KAPF
Thank you!

Howdy Martin! Watch out for those small Antonov AN-124 flying!
Yes - I've seen a couple of those here in Melbourne at an MRO!
- Martin
@@martinpauly Yup they have been doing some regular runs. The one a week ago was flown by my buddy Commander Dimitri Antonov! He has an epic UA-cam channel and loves to meet fellow UA-camrs or enthusiasts
@@ecossearthur I had to look him up - wow, looks like a very cool UA-cam channel!
- Martin
@@martinpauly He is one of the nicest aviators around. Proud to know him, and humbled to have him as a friend!
@@ecossearthur Maybe one day I will have the pleasure of meeting him, too!
- Martin
Did I miss the flight video from IA to FL?
No, you did not. That would have been A LOT of straight and level with not much exciting happening.
- Martin
@@martinpauly well, maybe the takeoff a little bit of straight level and then your landing for Fuel stop, etc. One of these days I’m gonna make the trip up there to Cedar Rapids, I’m out of KJEF in MO. Maybe we can do lunch.
Are those new sheepskin seat covers?
They are new-ish, maybe a year old or so. Very comfy!
- Martin
@@martinpauly Guess I don't pay close enough attention. Been thinking about some for the Lance, who made yours?
@@jimkleiss1020 Jim, I ordered mine from Aircraft Spruce. They have them for different aircraft makes and models.
- Martin
Seen you yesterday on the ramp!
Yesterday? I didn't fly yesterday. Last time I was on the ramp was Tuesday, so you must have seen my stunt double! 🤣
Regards,
Martin
@@martinpauly *seen the plane, it’s basically you lol.
I fly out of mlb flight. Nice place. Enjoy it while you are here!
@@kylecrumpton1048 Got it - thanks for clarifying 👍
- Martin
Very good video to somebody who is learning the communication in the US, thanks, it is well edited and very clear 👍
Glad to hear you are finding this helpful!
