Cirrus SR22 Flight & Pilot Interview 

Pucha saco

caught ya in the wild

Thank you.

Life's not about profit - it's about doing what makes you happy. Sometimes that takes persistence, family, friends, opportunity and luck, more than it does cold, hard cash.

The side stick is stuff (use of cables versus push rods). It is a physical stick. Hardly a joy to manipulate.

GBigs Angle yeah it is a pain but after you get used to it it’s really not that bad it’s pretty fun to just fly around with

What’s the name of his channel?

Hahahahaha

This plane has the weirdest pre-flight procedure. And, where’s the speech block app for this interview?

I see what you did there 😂😂😂

I think his dad?

he said the SR22 is his dads he owns a Gurman AA5

MOTIVATION AND WILLING TO LEARN TO FLY GOOD STUFF KEEN AND FOCUSED

Right!?

HAHA I graduated college 20 years ago. I was broke. I think the video implies I was broke one day and a plane owner the next. This is my father's plane. I own a Grumman (video coming soon I think) but yes, in the 20 years since I first looked into flight schools and now, my financial situation is much more favorable :) If it weren't for the kids, I could have 3 of these :)

You purchase a deal called "scout" or a bit more money the "Stratus". These devices create a WiFi network in the plane that will connect to your iPad. It won't give you internet but it gets information from towers on the ground and then sends them via WiFi to your tablet. It is really nice. Especially for displaying other traffic in flight.

ya for Texan thats fer shur

yes they are great first airplanes. You're not going to carry very much weight and you're not going to go very fast but they are tough. The landing gear on those things could hold up a 737 :). Very docile airplanes, great visibility very ergonomic and comfortable

I was thinking the same. I think they meant RPM gauge.

The Cirrus is all carbon fiber except for flaps, ailerons etc. From the SR22 the next plane is usually the SR22T (turbo). Then possibly the jet if you have the money. There is a two to three year backlog to get a jet.

@@gbigsangle3044 not quite. The wing spar is carbon fiber, but the airframe itself is composite

@@billyhogge8803 The composite is Carbon fiber reinforced polymer, carbon fiber reinforced plastic, or carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic.

Used in 2015. Was listed at $138k

Ok so the sr20 is alwys 8mins slower?! Can you give us some stats? Cause 8mins mith work out for one very unique trip but 99% of the other flights it wont work out.

@@SuperV8driver You completely misquoted me. I said it was 8 minutes slower on a normal trip for us….not “always 8 minutes slower”. We usually fly legs from 150-180 miles. On a 400 mile trip, you would save 20 minutes. Still not a big difference for the cost.

@@quinnjim you are right! sorry Sir, i misread it! And thus misquoted you!

@@SuperV8driver No problem!

Planning a couple trips to film around the us for next year

Foreflight on the ipad. It is a great program that will allow my to quickly get all of the info the plane gives me and more. Additionally, it allows me to use more things at once. For example, if I want to use the plane's screen for engine and fuel monitoring, I can reference the iPad for maps and tracking, etc. Most pilots in general aviation nowadays fly with foreflight. It is to be used only as a backup to your aircraft instrumentation. My other plane is much older and less well equipped so when I fly with the ipad, it provides me a lot more information in the way of weather, and other traffic. You essentially have $20k worth of aircraft instruments in a $200/ yr iPad app.

Just Plane Silly: what mount are you using?

I think Bryan needs to relax a little more. I'm sure that will come; maybe get some hours in other planes not as easy to fly and then go back to his. I'm not a pilot so what do I know? Maybe he was just nervous meeting Bobby and being on his new channel. I liked Bryan's story how he got into flying and that his whole family is into using the plane. Thanks for the video Bryan love your plane.

It looks deceiving because the wings don't appear to be large enough but each Wing has a 41 gallon fuel tank in it. I can fly for about 5 hours on full fuel if my bladder would allow for it.

Ha! It's only going to get worse. More YT collabs coming in 2019. :)

It is encouraged. Statistically, rate of survival is 100% when pulled with in specified parameters. Off field landing has higher chance of fatality. The insurance companies would rather buy a plane than handle human casualties. And we all want to see our kids grow up so after a quick evaluation, I'd probably err on the side of the chute if I'm inside the prescribed parameters for pulling.

There are scenarios where pulling the chute is the emergency response. Mid-air collisions with other planes or objects like a bird strike, incapacitation of the pilot, over water, over terrain where no landing is possible, engine fire that compromises the landing gear, loss of wing, flaps, ailerons, tail, prop, all or in part. To name a few.

I didn’t look up the facts... so I can’t say definitely

@@FlyingDoodles but then it's not your opinion, it's your thought. Either way, I am responding because it's good for engagement and I like your channel, not to be a pain in the butt.

Their Nazi built pieces of junk?

This is incorrect.

You can't compare on SR22 and a L-39 on mission. Completely different mission statuses. L-39 is a great aircraft though!

Lol.. are you really comparing a fighter jet trainer to a cirrus prop plane?! That's kind of like saying Mustang or Camaro.. No, how about a Bugatti?!

Yes! Hoping to film that in January. At least a T6 anyway

yes

In theory

These planes don't have AC. The only way to cool down when taxiing is to crack the door. In flight air circulates through vents in the front of the wings so it is only really effective when going very fast.

5 years passed

I always reply to that as: well, apparent 8,000 people had enough to buy them new lol. i am on my second cirrus now. I cant afford new by any means, but i could afford a G1 and sold it after 5 years and could afford a G2 now.

Yeah! I sent him a message a while back but haven’t heard a response. I’ll try again

@@FlyingDoodles His buddy Nick is a crash survivor, so he might be a great interview as well. Thanks for all your work! Love the content!

@@FlyingDoodles I mean this most respectfully.... Trent has over 140K subs and growing fast (roughly 15 times what you have), he is a professional film editor (the quality of the films is absolutely *UNREAL*, sooooo good)... videos typically get between 30K and 2.5M views.... I'm guessing your numbers don't look that attractive to him just yet. If you want to do something that people want to see that hasn't been done??? Maybe look up Mike Patey and do a piece on Turbulence (his race plane). All of the focus is on Draco... there is very little about Turbulence, and that's a shame because Turbulence is so over-the-top cool. Do a piece on Turbulence and I'll sub.
