Salt Lake City International in a Bonanza

[@martinpauly]

I expect many viewers will have questions about the Starlink Mini I'm using on this flight. I'm happy to answer them here in the comments, but also know there will be a video coming dedicated to Starlink, and how it can not just help your passengers stay connected but also be useful for flying. I'm using the Mobile Priority - 50GB plan, and it has been working great with so far in terms of speed and availability. - Martin

[@marcpasquini1029]

Thanks for that, I was considering Starlink for my business and to be able to use it flying as well is great!

[@alllfav]

A video about the Starlink in flight would be awesome! ADSB In-Flight Weather is something US Only and we poor Europeans can only buy very expensive specialized Satellite plans to get In-Flight weather. Starlink with a $50 plan would be an absolute game changer even if you only have a few (reliable) Mbps for ForeFlight to update weather and perhaps stream weather radar.

I've always said that flying the plane is the easy part - taxiing is where things can get difficult. 🙂

[@martinpauly]

Yes, and this was a good example of it! 👍 - Martin

[@lee.schulz]

What a great taxi adventure, Martin! Truly enjoy your videos. I pick up useful pointers each time. Thanks for bringing us along. Vielen Dank!

[@guntherbohlen4939]

Perfect IFR-Demonstration as always. Stunning views 😮, pure enjoyment on a cloudy/misty day at EDDH.

[@martinpauly]

Vielen Dank, Günther - und herzliche Grüsse in meine alte Heimat! - Martin

[@420Donnelly]

That was quite the cross country taxiing to the FBO. Always a joy to ride along with you Martin.

[@mikeblackford994]

I thought so too!

[@martinpauly]

Indeed! We got the scenic tour of the whole airport! - Martin

[@CDM1957]

And another awesome Video Martin as usual. These videos just keep getting better and better.

[@martinpauly]

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it! - Martin

[@wtw84]

You have fabulous video editing skills!

[@martinpauly]

Thank you! 🤩

[@dereksellars]

Thanks, Martin. Great video. I grew up in SLC, It was nice to see the scenery coming in.

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, Derek. Glad you enjoyed the views! - Martin

[@IamJasonHall]

Welcome to my state! I hope you enjoy your time here.

[@martinpauly]

Thank you, Jason. Yes, we enjoyed our (short) stay. We'll be back for more next year! - Martin

[@jimcarr7430]

Always enjoy seeing a new MP post pop up ! Enjoy attention to detail and checklist .

[@martinpauly]

Thank you, Jim! - Martin

[@kenstevenson4133]

Great views along the route. Busy taxi from 34L , you did a good job. Thx for sharing.

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, Ken. Yes, the taxi took quite a while from 34L... - Martin

[@WN1X]

Thanks for sharing your flight to KSLC. Looking forward to your travels to Sonoma!

[@steini6771]

Greetings from Norway Martin. Another beauty. Looking forward to the Starlink Mini video. Thanks -

[@martinpauly]

Thanks! I hope I'll get the Starlink video out sometime in December. - Martin

[@MrREH1962]

My home airport. I have always seen the descent from the left or right never straight on. Awesome video. Hope you enjoyed SLC while you were here.

[@martinpauly]

Thank you! Yes, we enjoyed Salt Lake City, even though it was short this time. We'll be back for longer visits next year. - Martin

[@clearancedelivery1291]

Danke für den Flug und Grüsse aus Canada

[@martinpauly]

Gern geschehen! Herzliche Grüsse aus Iowa - Martin

[@mishmish1968]

Awsome ... another perfect IFR flight , yes i think the mini compact Starlink makes you connected through the entire flight which makes the flight a lot safer as for weather and traffic , i enjoyed the video a lot thanks Captain for sharing it , keep well , all the best.

[@martinpauly]

Glad you enjoyed the ride, and yes, Starlink provides access to a bunch of useful resources for flying. - Martin

[@manfredspielmann1659]

Thanks so much for another awesome video!! Greetings from Austria!

[@martinpauly]

Vielen Dank, Manfred, und liebe Grüsse zurück aus Iowa! - Martin

[@ik04]

SLC is probably the easiest class B to get in and out of. There is really nothing to obstruct your arrival and the surrounding airports do not complicate the arrival. I frequently did those aerial tours around the SFO bay area and approach let me go everywhere I wanted. It was fun.

[@martinpauly]

You are right, Kevin. The only real constraints come from the terrain. Other than that, the only thing I can think of is special use airspace. - Martin

[@JamesWilliams-en3os]

Nice flight, Martin! Seems to me your taxi journey was more complex than your IFR flight plan! Been there, done that! 😂

[@martinpauly]

It really was in this case, yes! - Martin

[@darnellmontgomery2649]

Great video

[@martinpauly]

Glad you enjoyed it! - Martin

[@josephdreitler6546]

Awesome!

[@martinpauly]

Glad you enjoyed the flight! - Martin

[@luislander9468]

Hi Martin. Can you give insight of the mixture you used during the flight and takeoff? for that Dens Alt. Thanks.

[@martinpauly]

The simple but effective trick is to lean until EGT matches the EGT you'd see for a sea-level take-off. It's called "target EGT method". - Martin

[@davidcole333]

Martin, I hope you get to fly the bay tour. I have flown it many times departing from KRHV, which is 6 miles SE of KSJC. It is absolutely beautiful and worth doing if you have the opportunity and the weather cooperates. It would make a spectacular video for your channel.

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, David. Yes, we did fly the Bay Tour (all of this was back in October). And of course the cameras were running... - Martin

[@pisymbol]

Martin, do you have an STC for those Pringles? 😊

[@martinpauly]

Yes, absolutely - these Pringles come with STC paperwork (Salty Tasting Chips)! 🤣

[@pisymbol]

@@martinpauly Fair. Big fan Martin of the videos. Can't wait to see wine country! Maybe do the Bay Tour?

[@martinpauly]

@@pisymbol We absolutely did the Bay Tour, a few days after the SLC flight when we went from Sonoma Valley to Long Beach, CA. It was spectacular, and there'll be another video (and many more from this trip - including a landing at LAX!).

[@joeertz3809]

Hello Martin, you mentioned Air Conditioning. I was wondering with the High Density altitude if the AC turned off would help the take off and climb rate?

[@martinpauly]

With the Kelly Aerospace Thermal Systems AC, the effect would be minimal. That's because it's an all-electric system. Sure, the alternator has to work a little harder to provide power for the AC, but it's negligent compared with an engine-driven compressor. Therefore, there are no limitations for use during take-off and landing for my AC (unlike Bonanzas with the old factory AC). - Martin

[@davestarr7112]

Thanks for a great video as usual Martin. I lived just north of SLC for some time and really enjoyed the Utah way of life. I'm also really interested in your review of the Starlink. I'm currently living in the Philippines and using a Starlink setup now for nearly a year now. But it is very adaptable to "rain fade" or even very thick cloud cover. When a storm rolls in the download speed drops very rapidly. On the plus side, Starlink's network operation center keeps a very close watch on outages and system throughput and even honestly reports outages and works quickly to restore services ... something very few other commercial operators seem to bother with. My monthly subscription cost (converted to US currency) is $48 to $50 a month, about what I was paying for much less satisfactory slow and spotty DSL wired service when I was living in Florida. Fly safe and be happy.

[@martinpauly]

Hi Dave. I haven't had the Starlink long enough to see how it does with rain or thick cloud cover. So far, it's been working great, but admittedly that was mostly flying in nice VFR weather. - Martin

[@alexandermyrthue1987]

Nice video. When you need to lean for density altitude you can use your GTN 750 on the main menu go to Utilities-DALTS /TAS /Winds there you can see your dencety ALT 😎

[@martinpauly]

Thanks, Alexander. Regarding the GTN and exact density altitude: sure, I could do that, but then what? For leaning, I still need to reference EGT, and the exact density altitude doesn't really matter for that. - Martin

[@alexandermyrthue1987]

@@martinpauly Yes, I see I hadn't thought it through

[@thefencepost]

How is your portable oxygen concentrator working out? My Phillips brand has been nothing but a problem for me. After very little use is does not produce the advertised level of oxygen. And replacement of the media pack that captures the O2 is extremely expensive. The media must be replaced after a certain amount of hours of use so it becomes a question of which is less expensive, the concentrator or traditional O2 bottles.

[@martinpauly]

The Inogen G5 has been working great for us. It seems to be the preferred device for pilot use - over on BeechTalk, there are reports from a bunch of happy Inogen G5 owners. - Martin

[@thefencepost]

@@martinpauly Good to hear you are happy with the Inogen. Guess I bought the wrong brand.

[@BB-dp4kh]

Landing on rwy 34 instead of rwy 35 increases work load..what was the advantage of having to taxi such a long distance..

[@martinpauly]

I think the advantage was ATC didn't have to fit me in between all the other arriving traffic. With the center runway closed for construction, I assume they had some constraints. - Martin

[@BrianAltenhofel]

Do the Pringles cans enhance Starlink reception?

[@martinpauly]

Ha - that would be funny if those were add-on antennas for the Starlink! 🤣 - Martin

[@samuelkane3006]

Can you please share what type of oxygen you are using

[@martinpauly]

It's the Inogen G5. See this video for more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6C5pXSdjJqpqaM - Martin

[@alllfav]

Hi Martin - Thanks for the video. I see you have a Starlink Mini in use. Doest it work over 100mph? If so how well? Which subscription are you using?

[@martinpauly]

Good morning - yes, it works over 100 mph, certainly at Bonanza speeds (though I can't speak to jet speeds). I'm using the Mobile Priority - 50GB plan, and it has been working great with no issues in terms of speed and availability. - Martin

[@rickreynolds1421]

Thanks Martin. Narration and film editing was wonderful as always. I would be interested in seeing a video of your preflight planning for mountain flying. Could you recommend any online or in person mountain flying class for a GA,IFR pilot? I would enjoy going to see friend in Grand Junction CO. In my Turbo 206 but my flying has all been east of the Rockies. Thanks, Rick

[@GabeWil]

@@martinpaulythey must have built in a buffer - probably 150mph as they say it won’t work above 100mph but probably they want to limit commercial use but not restrict small-time individual use in general aviation. Great information!!

[@martinpauly]

@@GabeWil No, it's not a buffer - it's a higher-priced plan that officially works at speeds above 100mph. - Martin

[@martinpauly]

@@rickreynolds1421 Rick: The Colorado Pilots Association has a mountain flying course which comes highly recommended. More info here: coloradopilots.org - Martin
