Love all of Scott’s @flywire videos. He does a wonderful Job ! I was very nervous watching the other guy fly. It seems that he may not fly very often. Consistent training is SO important. You’ve got a great friend to help you. Please fly safe
I have an A36 in pre-buy with this same G500/GTN750/KFC200 combination. I could benefit greatly from some more videos on this operation. Great job, thanks for all of the content.
I have a Garmin G500 but coupled to a S-TEC 60-2, which I think still functions similarly. After you arm the altitude pre-select, do you need to enter altitude mode on the autopilot or will this happen automatically once it captures the altitude?
HI Scott! I just found your channel and I love it - I have an '83 A36 many moons ago so I feel pretty comfy flying with you. I especially liked the episode where you tuned/balanced your prop. Anyway I'm now subscribed & notified and look forward to more in the future. I do have one comment: From the camera view it appears your approaches are quite low ... is that an artifact of the filming? Best!
Douglas, it's great to have you! I appreciate it! I fly a 3 degree glide slope most of the time (much steeper in the Skywagon), so if you perceive the approach to be low it must be an artifact of the filming. I've got approaches and landings on the list coming up and will talk more about them.
Looked like you were 10’ high, V-bars trying to guide you back down. Deselect altitude and fudge it back down, re-engage. Not sure if you have altitude preselect on the KFC200 or just altitude hold. That’s the difference I think. Nice videos!
You've crossed my mind. Hope you, family and friends are doing alright in that terrible cold. News reports have been terrible. I just read FEMA is supposed to show up with 60 generators, blankets and water. Hope that holds true. I was wondering why not get the National Guard going with portable warming centers with generators, places to plug in, water, resources/Covid help, whatever is needed. Hang in there.
It looks like the whole time you were flying/testing the a/p was off. At 3:19 you can see the a/p switch in the off position and the a/p annunciator is not illuminated. All the comments about it missing the altitude is because the a/p is off. It’s showing indication but doing nothing during the flight.
Beautiful A36, but man, infrared camera is such overkill when you have synthetic vision. Who needs infrared when you can just put a flight path marker on top of the synthetic runway and it guides you down on an approach like you're on rails.
You definitely have a point. One thing in IR's favor is we've had three deer strikes on landing, the IR camera might have pointed them out. Maybe. But technology is cool!
@@FlyWirescottperdue I had deer on the runway after touchdown. Luckily they were slow walking across (oblivious to my AC) the runway and were out of the way by 10 feet or so. I was really wanting a horn at that time! I carried a small high pitched airhorn in my flight bag after that (thinking I could put it out the window) but never used it and it eventually lost its pressure after 10 years :-). I think the IR is an excellent tool, I would like to see it incorporated into nav lights or nose strut mount and not be so bulky under the wing. Probably a matter of how much you want to pay.

Thanks Barry. I think you'll enjoy the setup!
Me too ! What N number ?
So cool 😁👍😉

I think arm the preselect.

Guess the G500 adds that feature, just need to know how to use it. Thanks for sharing
The G500 adds altitude preselect if you pay to activate it. The KFC 200 knows nothing about preselect.
@@FlyWirescottperdue thought you needed the GAD 43e to interface ?
Hi Scott, is the A36 28volts? Before we went for Aspen our avionics guy told us the Garmin APS will only work on 28v KFC200
This Bonanza is a 24v airplane. I'm installing a Garmin GFC 500 autopilot on my 12v F33c as I write this.

Thanks Nancy. We aren’t doing too bad. Lucky.
A little bit different than a puddlejumper back in the day. 🙂
notice cruise at about 139-140 TKAS is that typical for you? Could you talk through the speeds you get a different altitudes?
That is Indicated... not True. 140 Kts IAS. Typilca True Airspeeds are in the 165 Kt range... my A36 WB would cruise at 172 TAS, LOP at 15.2gph

@4:48. Looks like it continued to climb past 3500
Looks like one of the requirements to live in this airpark is to own an A36 Bonanza and a Stearman...
Haha, not a requirement, but looked on favorably;)
@@FlyWirescottperdue Skywagons count too...
@@eduardoletti5537 Most definitely!
