My first Approaches in IMC - with the Avidyne IFD

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 KZbin.

You mentioned that you’d like to have an upgraded display in place of your 6 pack. What are you leaning towards at this point? Will you install a new autopilot as well?

[@martinpauly]

@@jdavis7119 Honestly, I haven't decided yet which way to go for EFIS. Compatibility with a good digital autopilot is important, though, and I may do EFIS and autopilot at the same time. I will need to save up first, so I have a little time to understand the available products and decide where to go. - Martin

You mentioned not having GPS steering (GPSS). If you had a G5 or Garmin 275 HSI, I believe those will work with legacy autopilots. 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.

[@sarasigmon5570]

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

[@GreenGuyDIY]

Also suggest since there is no immediate reason to launch that you turn and stop, check DG, and compass for match, and match with runway verbally. Great turn at the start of the runway to use it all. Bravo! Nothing more useless than the runway behind you except for the fuel in the truck at this point.

Nice panel. One thing i noticed on the run-up; this is fuel injected so no carb heat check but what about alternate air? I also mark (mental note) what the alt-air does to the baro devices. In the bonaza you don't do that? Sorry I don't have any time in bonanzas.

[@lyndalogie5556]

Great vid. Why not raise gear when no usable runway is left?

[@martinpauly]

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

[@jfrotlund]

So Cool !!! Great details :)

[@martinpauly]

Thank you, Jesper. I quite like how it turned out. Regards, Martin

[@masseywillingham8429]

If you do not have GPSS does the IFD540 tell you what heading to turn to follow the magenta line?

[@bigphoto1]

Martin is there a reason you don't use your radar altimeter when you practice your IFR approaches? I always practice with all my equipment so that its always the same routine ever time but not everyone does it like that. Didn't see that equipment was INOP so you must not use it routinely would that be a fair assessment? Knew you would love the Avidyne.

[@cherokee592]

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!

[@martinpauly]

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

[@cherokee592]

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

[@kiethlowry2862]

So the avidyne recommends an entry into the holding pattern? That’s nice. I am studying for my ifr written and entries to hold has been a challenge.

[@martinpauly]

Yes, it does - and so did my Garmin GNS530W, btw. But it looks prettier on the Avidyne IFD 😄 And on the IFD I can do a custom hold anywhere I want, not just for an approach.

[@Jhardage62]

Don't beat yourself up over entries. In truth, ATC doesn't care what entry you make they just care if you stay on the protected side or not. 99% of the time it will be pretty obvious which entry will be easier to fly.

[@kiethlowry2862]

Jhardage62 thank you

[@pslny]

Nice setup and nice work Martin. I noticed your Avidyne showed the ILS ID, the G1000 (Perspective) shows the id when the station is identified so no need to listen to the morse code signal. Does the avidyne work like this too?

[@martinpauly]

Hi Paul, yes, the IFD "listens" to the morse code and shows a readout on its display. I guess listening to the morse code myself through the audio panel is an old habit which I learned during my instrument training in the 90s, and which I haven't given up since then. Probably something I could change. Best regards, Martin

[@MooneyM20J]

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.

[@martinpauly]

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

[@MooneyM20J]

I'm sure IFD has more futures than the old GNS. may i ask what autopilot you have on your A36? I think you may have KAP 150 and with that we are limited for EFIS and removing vacuum system.

[@martinpauly]

@@MooneyM20J Today I have a Century III autopilot in my Bonanza. Looking for a future EFIS involves the autpilot, and I may in fact change both at the same time. I am undecided today what the best combination of products is for my airplane. So maybe it's good news that I need time to save up for any future changes, so I can think more about it. :-) - Martin

[@MooneyM20J]

Thank you Martin. Yes its so hard to decided. Im going through that phase right now. Im saving up for Garmin GFC 500 autopilot but you need Garmin 5G to drive it. I love Aspen Evolution 1000 Pro MAX PFD but will not work with GFC 500 right now :(

Shawn J Avidyne dfc90 is an option for the bo. I’m actively bo shopping now and ap’s are a big item I’m concerned about.

[@gregellis3859]

Hi Martin. Can you tell me what your actual filed clearance was? When I try to shoot Practice approaches at my home airport, I have to file to either another airport and then get a change in the air or file to the outer marker on the ILS or a fix on one of the GPS approaches in order to get a clearance to shoot approaches at my airport. I was just curious what you actually filed. Thanks. Did you actually file Cedar Rapids direct Cedar Rapids then put Practice approaches in the remarks section?

[@padsliderfranco9561]

One of your best yet. Great procedures. Is your RADALT inop?

[@padsliderfranco9561]

You may want to consider moving the RADALT under you clock in your FOV

[@martinpauly]

Thank you! I do like the new camera angles I tried here. The radalt is working so so... not terrible, but sometimes it gives erroneous DA (decision altitude) indications. I don't use it often. - Martin

[@Zelig2Cents]

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... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJe8hYpvdq2Il7c

[@scarter176]

Martin........I really wish you would do some videos for the Hilton Software folks. I see you are using their fight app on your IPad. Since ForeFlight sold to Boeing they are going to be a big company“ and it is already showing. I have used wing X in the past but their training videos are lacking.

[@martinpauly]

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

[@GaryMCurran]

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

[@mberbower]

Does not having a second yoke ever been a problem? What did you fly before this plane? Thanks, I like your videos.

[@martinpauly]

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

Does the avidyne identify nav freq. like Garmin does? I noticed you listened to the Morse code. Great videos!

[@martinpauly]

Yes, it does that. I was trained (decades ago) during my instrument training to listen to the morse code, and to be honest the thought of just looking at the GPS display instead had not occurred to me. Makes perfect sense, though, and from my initial research seems to be perfectly legal. - Martin

[@bigphoto1]

Martin does your radar altitude work? If so when do you use it only in low IFR approaches? I love my IFDs!

It works so so... I really don't use it much. The Avidyne's have a 500 foot callout, which seems more reliable than my radar altimeter, and in the future I can see an EFIS in my panel with an adjustable call-out for IFR minimums. That would sure be useful. - Martin

[@johnmcevoy4002]

if you have FOREFLIGHT on a tablet do you need an IFD?

[@martinpauly]

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

IFD 540 & 440 und kein GPSS? Ich hab "nur" das IFD440 in meiner Mooney M20F aber dafür GPSS auf dem S-TEC Autopiloten. Kann ich nur empfehlen... ;-) IFD 540 & 440 and no GPSS? How's that? I "only" have the IFD440 in my Mooney M20F but luckily GPSS for my S-TEC autopilot. Highly recommended! Great video as usual, content- and productionwise. BTW, I love our Citizen Skyhawk watches. I'm enjoying mine since I bought it new in Santa Monica in 2007.... ;-)

Irgendwann bekomme auch ich GPSS, Bernd. Aber erstmal muss ein neuer Motor her... Gruss, Martin

Great vid

How do you file for the local approaches?

[@Airplane_Willy]

Brian Parkman Haven’t actually done it in several years, but when I did, you would file KCID-KCID and put practice approaches in the notes, or just contact ATC from the aircraft without a flight plan and tell them what you want to do. Not a big deal. In Iowa, anyway.

Only a seething jealous person would thumbs-down this video!! Admittedly I'm jealous as heck but Martin's content is incredible and very educational. Thanks for showing us mate. Big thumbs-up from me..

Wäre vielleicht nicht schlecht, beim RNAV Approach das Variometer zu zeigen, speziell beim Übergang von level auf descent

Avidyne should soon sponsor you! I have used a few of the Garmin systems, but never saw the Avidyne in action before. Are you going to get their ai and hsi?

[@martinpauly]

I don't believe the Entegra system (Avidyne'e EFIS) is available for my Bonanza - is it? - Martin

[@chrisbowpiloto]

Martin Pauly I don't know. It is a shame if it isn't. That is a really nice system

[@martinpauly]

@@chrisbowpiloto I agree. An Aspen (or two) and the DFC90 would be a really nice completion of my instrument panel. - Martin

[@N1120A]

Given that you already got the 930, I'd consider the dual G5 + GFC500. Or, perhaps the 10" G3x, without EIS.

[@RubenKelevra]

Hey Martin, looks like you have trouble with high frequency vibrations on some of your cameras. Have you considered adding a damper, to filter them out? Take a look at these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZLNoKt9nauEmc0

Horrific comment made by Martin on Jerry Wagner's channel. Not sure who this Martin is but certainly doesn't know when to keep things to himself. Additionally, he is a low time pilot with little technical knowledge to comment on someone else's conduct. Hope you have a good year, sir, and please keep your comments to yourself! With only 15k subscribers, not too concerned about widespread distribution of the trash he put out there.

You were going way to fast. Thats why you overshot.

[@bkrichmd]

Are you just anti-garmin?

[@socomon69]

Does the radar altimeter work? When do you use it?

[@martinpauly]

It does work OK, but I usually don't turn it on. Didn't even think about it on this flight. Regards, Martin
