Flying Physician here. Rules aside. Any flight longer than 3-4 hours flying solo at altitudes where your oxygen will not be optimal (happens many times well below 12,5k) for prolonged periods of time can impair your performance. My flight packages for long solo flights include food with plenty of snacks to keep the brain going (brain needs glucose to work efficiently) as well as oxygen. I will wear it regardless of not flying in the teens (but above 8k) on long flights. You arrive much more rested and stay sharper for a longer period of time if you cover those bases. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and share long flights like these!

Excellent comment. Matt isn't in great physical shape too start with. He was slurring his words at the end. Long flight, bad weather, mountains, icing conditions, time zones, day to night, vfr to ifr, get there-itis, changing clothes, feet up on glare shield, no oxygen or extra food or caffeine. This could have been a well documented NTSB report.

In 1976-1977, at age 23-24, I did the same type flying as Matt, in v tail bonanzas. I didn’t fly west of the Mississippi and over western mountains, however. Now, 45 years later, flying my 1947 v tail bonanza, at age 69 (and with 28,000 hours in my logbook), I choose not to fly anything but simple ifr, and not at night. My strategy since I was young (and immortal)😮, seems to have worked. I became an old pilot, by not being bold! Matt can do this now, but he’ll curtail it, when he perceives that his luck-bucket nears empty. Dave, Mangold-friend of Valerie and Eric

Great video Matt! I recently flew my V 35B IO-550 seven hours and thirty minutes, with the same fuel as your 36, from Illinois to Salt Lake City. Similar in and out or IFR to VFR and in and out of icing conditions. The work load would be almost impossible without a good auto pilot and good avionics. Having portable oxygen and the ability to go into the teens made it easier to out climb icing. I’m going to be getting a turbo normalizer soon so that I can climb faster to help avoid ice. Keep up the good work.

Interesting one, this. I think it throws up a lot of questions though. I've flown VFR and IFR all over Europe for 20 plus years - and everyone's risk profile is different - but I don't think I'd want to take on a 9 hour flight in the middle of winter in a non-deiced aircraft at possible icing levels and with no oxygen either. Sounds like you flew quite a bit at 13,000 feet too - I don't know about over there but on my side of the Pond that's only allowed up to a max of 30 minutes (and maybe that was what you did, I don't know), and even then it isn' t always such a brilliant idea. Especially if you don't have an oximeter to check sat levels? Then there's taking on the mountains at night in a single-engine plane after several long such hours - a bit of a leap of faith perhaps? Or a touch of hypoxic elation? To be honest, Matt - and quite understandably - you sounded bloody exhausted at the end of that flight. It only needed something not to go quite right and maybe your decision making would have been seriously challenged. Don't get me wrong - I really like your videos and you're a braver guy than I am (and a lot younger) but then the best of these videos throw up all the best issues so that's got to be a good thing. And this one does it in spades.

It would be fascinating - and genuinely educational - to get Matt Guthmiller's own perspective on many of the comments below but we'll just have to see if he does. As I and many others have suggested, this flight raises some very interesting questions, but of course it must also be stated that we only have an edited 'highlights' video to go by and so cannot be privy to some of the bigger pre-flight and in-flight decision-making processes that were also taking place behind the scenes. All pilots can learn from each other, however old, young, experienced, inexperienced, adventurous round-the-worlders or hamburger hoppers. So let's learn Matt.

@Kdogfunkarelli
2 жыл бұрын
It is always best to file on the ground. Even if you don't use it right away, you can file on the ground and then pick it up once airborne. The problem with getting a "Pop-up" clearance (What Matt did, not filing ahead of time and just asking once airborne) is that you may not get it. Sometimes the best that you will get is asked to contact FSS and file with them and them come back to pick it up with ATC. Sometimes you might just get an "Unable." Without digging into the weeds too much about the ATC computer system and routing etc... Just know that there is A LOT of stuff that happens on the back end that pilots do not see when we file IFR plans. And it's an extremely uncomfortable situation to be in when you're facing some inclement weather ahead, or worse already in it and you receive the response "Nxxxx Unable IFR at this time, say your intentions."

IFR pilot here and anyone in the comments correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the reason for that was that the MIA (minimum IFR altitude) was higher than what he was already flying. ATC had to send him another route in order to stay at that altitude. Instead of him having to divert a little ways and add time he just cancelled IFR so he could stay at that altitude and not have to divert.

there are IFR minimums in areas that due to terrain where if you are flying IFR, the controller has to give you that minimum altitude so they dont accidentally fly you into a mountain. Since Matt could fly VFR he could fly at a lower altitude than allowed during IFR. Since Matt has to manage his time at altitude to meet O2 requirements, its best if he can remain under VFR rules so he can fly at lower than the IFR minimum. ( he can fly for only 30 minutes above 12,500 without supplemental oxygen, any altitude above 14,000 requires O2)
