Great video, thank you for posting and thank you for not adding any music or song. Clear video all the way, kinda makes me feel like I'm in the right seat.
Thanks! I like to treat the comms as a conversation with ATC. But just keeping it to the bare minimum and efficient with what you are saying. No fluff required!
Awesome vid....I’ve done some SR22 G2 work in that area myself. Looks like you edited out all of your leaning...up and down...would have liked to have seen that to compare to my experience. We are Avidyne...looks like you got G1000...makes me jealous...😀
Nice flight and video, great sound too - how did you record the ATC? It seems you leave the CAPS cover on and pin in place for takeoff? Wouldn't that be two tricky extra steps if you were in an involuntary spin, trying to deploy the chute?
Very cool and informative video, particularly explaining the 15,000 restriction and programming into flight director. I'm looking at this plane now, but it seems apparent you need to be instrument certified to utilize all it's capabilities.
Yeah if you are instrument rated you can "unlock" all of its features and functions, but private pilots can utilize a lot of it as well. Thanks for watching!
Cirrus jocks in general tend to have an undeserved rep. You (in a Cirrus) tried to be considerate to that Falcon guy TWICE, and he still wasn't too appreciative... Here's proof positive that Cirrus pilots are just as considerate as everyone else out there. Making the GA world a better place, nice job.
In his defense he did say he had me in sight, but you're right that still gave me no clue which way I could have gone to help them out, would've been easy for them just to say "straight out, don't worry about it" or something like that. Thanks for watching!
which is so silly considering the only thing that makes cirrus pilots different from Mooney or Bonanza pilots is the fact that they fly a cirrus. People are so tribal.
Nice flight. What is with the constant microphone adjustments every 45 seconds. It literally hasn't moved and you keep reaching up to adjust it over and over again?
Allen Smith Yes, when you input an altitude and distance into the FMS it creates the TOD point and target vertical speed required based on ground speed to achieve the vertical profile.
Doesn't the SR22T have a larger over-the-mouth mask if the nose apparatus doesn't give you enough oxygen? Also, most Cirrus pictures I see online have steam gauges as the backup airspeed/attitude indicator/altimeter, have those been replaced with glass? Once i've graduated from college I would _like_ to be able to purchase a Cirrus one day, probably gonna be about as old as i am lol...
Thomas Harbauer Oxygen masks are available but are effective only above FL180. The latest and greatest of the 22 lineup has glass backup instruments. But they still have the standard 3 backups as steam gauges on certain trim levels.
hpux735 Gunnison Airport sits at 7,600’ so it requires much less gas on takeoff that high for max power. There’s a placard next to the throttle for max power fuel flow settings, that’s what it calls for at that altitude.
Thank you :) I fly an '04 NA SR22, but I'm at sea level, so I though "wait a minute", lol. My plane's getting a DFC-90 upgrade and has been AoG for the last month and a half, so I'm enjoying living vicariously.
Mr Prenger, I’m looking for some sponsorship to learn on and fly a Cirrus SR22T with an IFR rating. I want to fly for ministry work, some type of medical transport (organs), as well as build a client base. Any thoughts? If so, I will give you my contact info. Thank you for your time,
