My first Approaches in IMC - with the Avidyne IFD

Ғылым және технология

After thorough testing and familiarization with the new equipment, I take my new Avidyne IFD GPS/NAV/COMs into the clouds for the first time. Join me at my home airport, Cedar Rapids IA (KCID), as I fly an ILS and an RNAV/GPS approach - the latter with a hold for course reversal. I will show you how to program a simple flight plan, load an approach, fly a hold, intercept the final approach course, and use the synthetic vision feature of the IFD550.
As always, I look forward to your comments and questions here on KZread.

    Martin, great video! After or before your identification of beacons pre-takeoff, professional crew SOP is to scroll thru-highlighting each FPL waypoint on the map (or scrolling thru the data box with waypoints) highlighting each and confirming visually and verbally they are consistent with those determined and planned for pre-flight. And then do this again as a descent checklist item before entering terminal area for any waypoints in arrival procedures or approaches. That may be something you do but was edited from video. If not, add that to your workflow. cheers...jason

Probably something I could change. Best regards, Martin

  • @martinpauly

    @martinpauly

    4 жыл бұрын

    Good question. In a twin it's a no-brainer - we are committed to fly and want speed, so gear up early is good. In a single, looking purely at the odds of surviving an engine failure shortly after take-off, I would argue the better climb rate with the gear up early on improves our options when the engine quits after passing over the end of the runway. A gear-up landing on the runway isn't nice, but it won't kill (or likely even injure) me. In addition, the gear in my Bonanza cycles in as little as four seconds, so it is quite feasible to lower it very quickly should the engine quit with usable runway still in front of me - I just have to remember to do it. In summary: There is no clear winner unless you know when your engine will actually quit, which of course we cannot know. Regards, Martin

If you have a Century, you will need to retain your vacuum operated artificial horizon though. My very first solo was done on Runway 9 at KCID. I still remember the Ozark Airline DC9 holding short for me to land.... Many years ago....

    Hi Mark, There are very few times when I miss the dual yoke - i.e. when I have someone in the right seat who is interested in trying out the controls. The other 95% of the time, I enjoy the extra space, easier access to circuit breakers etc., and getting into and out of the plane without the yoke in the way. My A36 did have a dual yoke when I bought it, but I had it replaced after the transition training was done. Before the Bonanza, I flew mostly Piper Cherokees - many hours in Arrows, but also Warriors and Archers. And way before that, I flew gliders which is how I got into flying in the first place (decades ago). Best regards, Martin

    There seems to be some GPSS modules for the Century III, but I'm not sure which version you have. However, it also seems rather ambiguous, so in fact, I don't know if there is something available for it. The Garmin G500, of course, is available, but it requires at a minimum the G5 displays. My feeling on that is if you're going to spend that kind of money, put it towards a full blown EFIS system. Since I'm not actively flying, I have to assume that you're using Foreflight on your iPad. Have you downloaded and connect the IFD100 system from Avidyne yet? I think Kris over at Baron Pilot really liked his, but between the display for the IFD100, and the display for Foreflight, he just had too much clutter in the cockpit. I'm looking forward to the next new install, even though it may be a while. Thanks for taking us along, and sharing all of this with us, especially those of us who Dean Martin, in 'Airport', called 'ground-bound penguins!' LOL

    Informative, with some inconsistencies, I think. The first one I noticed was that you reported 2500 when you were actually at 2000 (or maybe I misunderstood) and on the RNAV approach you said "Localizer is alive" , should be "final track", no? Happy to learn if I misunderstood!

    Can you give me the time stamp for where you think I got the altitude wrong? And what's your concern with my "localizer alive" callout? I understand there's not physically a localizer signal and antenna on an LPV approach, but the indications are virtually identical. Regards, Martin

    Martin Pauly Hi Martin, the altitude was absolutely correct - my mistake, sorry for that. You said „2000 climbing 2500“ at Cukla, and i misunderstood! On an RNAV approach i would always use the phrases „Final Track established“, „Final Approach Point“ and „Glidepath“... just to avoid confusing yourself one day. Can you not fly the whole thing in NAV mode on the autopilot? GPSS mode will not arm the Glidepath“. With my A/P (DFC90 and Avidyne Entegra, 2xIFD440) i only use HDG and NAV, never GPSS. I understand that with a mechanical HSI you need GPSS for enroute (not with the PFD) - but shouldn‘t the RNAV approach be flown in NAV? Best regards, Alexis

    Martin, your channel is fantastic! For safety reasons, I would love for you to check out an app called Xavion (pronounced ex-AY-vee-on). It was created by Austin Meyer, the same gent that created the flight sim program X-Plane. Unlike X-Plane, this app was created for actual flying, in particular, to address flying dangers. (Although you CAN connect it to X-Plane to practice with it in flight sim mode.). The best way I can describe it is with a scenario. Imagine you’re flying at 5000’. Clouds all around, heavy rain, winds, potential icing conditions, etc. Suddenly your engine fails and after exhausting all efforts, you are unable to restart it. Despite the sophistication of any GPS or terrain awareness instruments you might have, you in any case can not actually see any tall buildings, high tension electrical towers, mountains, etc. How scary would that situation be? With Xavion running on your iPad, you simply hit the emergency button and it IMMEDIATELY begins running HUNDREDS of calculations for what your best descent is, including all turns needed to lose altitude. It factors winds at all altitudes (especially if you’re feeding it info from your ADS-B), air temps, performance of your aircraft, nearby airports, terrain & tall structures... everything. It then shows you the best glide path in 3D, putting you right at the runway threshold for a safe landing. In my opinion, that emergency button SHOULD be called the ‘Sully’ button. Here is a link to a video of a review of that app, by none other than the creator himself. Please watch at least the first 9 minutes of the video. After that he goes into other extremely useful features of the app as well, but you’ll be hooked to watch the whole thing once you’ve seen the first 9 minutes. If you feel the same way I do about this, please do a video where you use the app so that other pilots can be made aware of it also. This app WILL save lives!!! If you do any flight simming, try it out there first and then practice some power off landings with it running so you can see first hand the power of this app. I’d LOVE to see a video you shot using it, ideally both in flight sim and in actual power off landings. Safe flying Martin!! Here’s that link... kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJqNtrlycau7kbg.html

    Steve, I have a love-hate relationship with WingX. It does many things well, but version 9 which they introduced not quite a year ago is so buggy that it's hard to rely on. I've spoken with them at Sun 'n Fun and at Oshkosh; the party line is "yes, we know, we are working on it, a new release will be out in a few weeks" - and then nothing happens. My conclusion is as a company they have different priorities, and they are milking the EFB market for whatever they can get out of it. I've been trying aerovie, and while that has some great ideas, the implementation is so so... I may still end up with ForeFlight in the end - despite having prepaid for two more years of WingX. Best, Martin

    They do different things, John. For IFR, the answer is a clear "yes, you still need an IFD" (or similar product). If you are flying VFR, you can rely on the iPad for navigation while cross-checking with other means - which could be as simple as looking out the window. The biggest issue with tablets for IFR is the GPS accuracy can degrade without you really knowing about it. IFR GPS receivers do a lot of integrity checking behind the scenes to ensure what they display is accurate, or warn the pilot when accuracy cannot be guaranteed. - Martin

    Hey Martin. Nice upgrade from 530w to Avidyne. At first i was thinking to do the same thing, but i installed Garmin Flight Stream 210 and with existing GPSS my flight planing is so much easier for the fraction of the cost of new Avidyne. These days everyone use their ipad in the cockpit for charts and situational awareness, i just dont see the point for the upgrade when you have a full capable Garmin 530W. I think it would of made more sense if you would of installed a Garmin G5 to replace your HSI and you would of gotten a GPSS that works with your autopilot.

    Fair point, Shawn - the 530W does a lot of things well; add an iPad, the FS210 and GPSS, and it's not a bad setup. However, the many little (and some big) improvements of the IFDs over the old GNS units add up to a significant difference. At some point, I will get an EFIS of some sort and a digital autopilot to complete the system. Best regards, Martin
