Flying to Dallas Love Field

Dallas Love Field, once the main airport of Dallas, TX, is still a big hub for Southwest Airlines today and a busy airport inside the Class Bravo airspace surrounding DFW. Beckey and I landed there in early March of 2021 while visiting the area for recordings of "In The Hangar" episodes.

Another great video Martin. We’ve had our Avidyne for a few months and I learn something new from your videos nearly every time. I’ve used the VNAV a bit, but I hadn’t done it with the knob and I hadn’t put my VSR in the data block, so I’m going to set that up. Thanks!

My home town as a teen. Spent many a time on my back at the "threshold" of 13L, down by Bachman Lake. 747's were landing there back then, incredible at +/-100ft. Nice airmanship, sir and thanks for the nostalgic trip!

I really like the way your Avidyne handles crossing altitudes. Neat feature.

Hi George, yes, that is a very helpful feature. And for approaches, SIDs and STARs, it load all those crossing altitudes straight from the database into your flight plan. Makes it hard to screw up! 😁 - Martin

Thanks, Cindy. How's flying in Europe these days? Still restricted? Best regards, Martin

[@dutchygirl]

@@martinpauly Thanks for asking, Martin! The NOTAM with the ban on dual instruction has just been lifted, but we're still in lockdown with a crazy curfew and many places (stores, sport clubs, restaurants...) closed. Further only 2 POB allowed. Only farmacy and super markets are normally opened. As a student I was grounded again (2nd time for 3 months), but very happy to be invited in the meantime by a friend for an awesome flight (of 2) in his plane to and over the Dutch isles. I uploaded a very short video (5 mins) of that great flight, if you like to have an idea. I had a blast! Got my flight lesson of today postponed due to weather. Big bummer after waiting so long. Hopefully soon back up again..

[@paratyshow]

Congrats on having Beckey as second in command along for the flight, what a happy girl she is and a pro "Martin just watch the road" when your phone went off. Hope your plan works to get Pringles as a sponsor!!

Thanks for the ride Martin. I used to work at Love and flew in and out from time to time part 91 when I was with a 135 operation. I loved the airport and drank aviation every day. Love Field has changed much over the years but what hasn't changed is the class you see at these FBO's but you do pay for it, Awesome. Millionaire over at Addison is great too.

[@martinpauly]

Hi Ed. Thanks for your note. I've yet to try Addison, maybe on my next visit. BJC is just outstanding, and the whole experience at Love Field was great. - Martin

"Mountain" ranges east of KMLC are the San Bois and Quachita. Really more like hills though. I fly into KMLC and eat Italian food on the east side of McAlester at Krebs. Home of several really good eateries.

Thanks, Alan. That sounds better than the "rapidly rising terrain mountains" 👍 - Martin

[@charlesabdouch3052]

When I landed at Love back in the 80's, as I landed, I joked with the Southwest flight behind me to beware of the Cessna 172s wake turbulence. Nice approach. It is always bumpy low in the D/FW area due to so many different ground surfaces with uneven rising air. I flew out of Ft. Worth a LOT and tried to get up to altitude before heading east across D/FW, otherwise you get stuck low (under 3k) all the way to Paris/Bonham

[@prestonmiller9552]

Getting close to my neck of the woods there Martin. In between Ardmore and OKC are the Arbuckle mountains although they are more like large hills. Traveling up I'35 you would pass right through them on the ground. But I believe you may have been east of those mountains. Arkansas has some pretty nice mountains in the Ozarks area. That was probably Lake Lewisville Becky was referring to. DFW traffic often approaches over the lake from the east. Welcome to Texas where we only have one week of winter per year. Hope to see you at ACCA in July and maybe even Oshkosh.
