2015 Cirrus SR22T | Taking a Spin for Lunch

[@MarkA243]

I love how seriously he took the safety briefing before takeoff - good example for us all.

[@KB1LQC]

It's exactly the cirrus approach preflight briefing! cirrusaircraft.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/CAPS_Syllabus_Pilot_Edition.pdf

[@VA3ELX]

That’s airline training for you. It’s always good habit.

[@markotark]

I really love the way modern technology has been implemented and integrated into these new small private planes. Electronic checklists and emergency parachutes really help minimise the hassle and risk of everyday aviation. With about 5 hours of stick-time with a flight-instuctor friend of mine in Cessna 152, 172 and 182's, this plane seems so much more modern than any of the ones i've piloted myself...

[@USAF99]

That airplane is a thing of dreams....wow.

[@gbigsangle3044]

You can spin in a CIrrus but why bother? It's a senseless thing to even try, in any plane. But unlike the Cessnas...this one will save your life if you enter a spin after a midair, over water, over mountains, over terrain, even over an airport.

[@Flyboy9305]

USAF99 First, spins are a blast. Second, the CAPS is not a cure all for safety. Third, these airplanes are really nice, but they are maintenance hogs.

[@USAF99]

It can't be any worse than a 35+ year old fighter like I am used to working on.... :-)

[@gbigsangle3044]

Spins are nonsense. Only Utility rated planes can do them...very few. CAPS has saved hundreds of lives. If you are in a plane without one you are at risk. Cirrus maintenance is the exact same as any other plane in it's class.

[@Flyboy9305]

USAF99 True story, but what is? 😎

[@RyanKekos]

FYI you can disable it by holding the red auto pilot disconnect and you can do it as well under the MFD.

[@StevePickrell1978]

Awesome. Love that Cirrus....... Enjoy watching your flying videos... Blue skies....

[@Jet-Pack]

That touch down was awesome :D

[@joespeed1952]

The end speech was very inspiring. I enjoy flying because it allows me to explore possibilities never before accessible to me.

[@peterellison2220]

That touchdown... Almost as beautiful as the plane

[@iFlyAircraft]

I couldn't even tell when he touched down. It was so soft!!

[@christophermichaelson9050]

One of the best landings I've ever seen. That's like Air Force 1 right there!

[@GrantGrove]

You guys are so fortunate to be flying at the peak of technology both in design and glass panel computer control.

[@dalgrim]

Need to edit the voice over for the ending: "They all have one thing in common, They are REALLY expensive. They allow pilots to empty their wallets like no other hobby." Nice flight. Jealous of the nice SR22. :D

[@Bulldog1653]

That's the truth. LOTS of money but worth it. I have had a passion for aviation for 36 years and counting.

[@SoaringMidlo]

Another great video Josh. Beautiful airplane and solid pilot. He did commit my approach pet peeve "I'm 2 miles from [some random fix that VFR pilots have no clue about]..." It is much more useful to call direction and distance or say 10 mile final for RWY xx.

[@f.johnsbrana5883]

What a sweet ride! With all the glass, it is truly a work of art. Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@philipgledhill7227]

I buddy hope both of you are well. Brilliant flight in a awesome machine Philip's dream plane take care lads and happy flying philip.

[@BrianOgilvie79]

very cool video Josh. Only thing i would say is on a VFR flight into an uncontrolled airport...i would give a position report based on a distance and direction from the airport. Your friend announced his position relative to the Final. Approach Fix. Many VFR only pilots wouldnt know where that even was. Now if he said 5 mikes south east at 2500ft...like that..it is universally understood and leads to clearer communication on unicom

[@Aviation101]

Islandman Vagabond I agree. That's what I do when I'm on an approach into an uncontrolled field. The VFR guys don't know where the FAF is!

[@oshmanproductions173]

Mate fantastic videos, I'm learning how to fly right now in Western Australia, anyway that is one beast of an aircraft!

[@Luke-zt6xl]

TurboGunner21 PS4 where in Western Australia you from?

[@niklaspilot]

I really like the style of this video with the handheld camera. Something different and refreshing compared to your other videos. Although I wished there was a stationary camera with a view out front... :)

[@df5118]

Cirrus got it right with their side stick design!

[@brennenfitzgerald]

Dane French side yolk. Cessna did the side stick on the Ttx, which they stopped making.

[@s1l3ntgl1d3r]

Its amazing how much progress you made in terms of filming your videos in two years. Thumbs up!

[@shayrose4754]

You find some time to share your great videos !!!! Good luck with your studying!!!

[@jelteagteresch]

planes are getting easier and easier, sometimes its better, sometimes not! nice video!

[@gbigsangle3044]

The loaded turbo is a complex aircraft....not simpler. But the complexity gives you more situational awareness than most commercial jets.

[@danfelix190]

The cirrus is a fairly easy plane to fly especially as far as high performance aircraft go.

[@gbigsangle3044]

What consititues "easy" in your estimation? The fully loaded SR22T has a higher level of avionics and cockpit weather than most business jets.

[@danfelix190]

Well for starters, it's agile, responsive and as I said an easy plane to fly. The joystick takes a minute to get used to but simplify's things... You reference it's "higher level of avionics" as if it's the only one out there offering it. Most newer aircraft offer comparable avionics. They are much more user-friendly than most of the older stuff out there. The G-1000 as appears to be here is in just about any newer Piper or Mooney. In fact, the PA-46's are equipped with storm scopes that are a step beyond this and again make it easier. They typically don't create newer avionics that are harder to become acclimated with. Over and above that, the plane has probably one of the best field of views of any GA plane out there again making it a little easier. Aside from all that the planes junk. Unsafe in spin situations, heavy fiberglass construction, glide ratio comparable to a brick, ridiculous AD's, the "anti-icing' system uses glycol which is very expensive and the list goes on... Fun and easy plane to fly but overly expensive for what it offers.

[@gbigsangle3044]

The 2017 Cirrus has the new Garmin Nxi panel. The side-stick is easier to use than a yoke, but it is stiff. There are three models. The high end model SR22T is the top of the line in SEL piston GA planes. XM Weather is equivalent to Stormscope...Stormscope is old tech in many ways with it's big pod under the wing and ghosting problems. The CIrrus is just as safe to spin as any plane but is not placarded to do so. Cirrus was not required to spin certify the plane after it demonstrated the critical superiority of the chute. Carbon fiber is far lighter and stronger than metal/rivet construction. Is so superior in fact that Boeing and Airbus make their new planes mostly out of it now. The TKS system is FIKI and I have used it in the middle of snow/ice clouds effectively. The Cirrus is the best proven by it's sales volume. No one matches their numbers. The price is cheaper than their competitors in the same niche, btw...The TTX is $100k more. Cessna has no equal of course proven again by the sales numbers.

[@spitfireinvasion]

i liked your little monologue at the end

[@CyrilDeretz]

I like your last phase on the reason we fly. I also fly a Cirrus (a SR20 not a beast like this one) and am not ashamed of having state of the art technology in the cockpit. It also makes me feel safer as it tends to reduce workload and make my wife feel safer as well.

[@fazekneegrow9587]

Love the ending quotes:)

[@thejoyofflying182]

Competent Pilot - i like the briefing he does before the flight. Communication is the key in aviation :)

[@BCreative12]

Hello. So exciting! I think there are practice flight modules that come with the airplane to practice. It is non the less nuts! Ya'll are amazing! I want to learn to fly! My fave is Howard Hughes of course! Thank u very much! 💗

[@打架鱼D]

As what i know , if you want to do a 45 degree steep turn or more . you can try hold on the AP disconnect button on the top of the control column when turning.

[@Jake10203]

MrAviation101 Cool plane! My uncle has that same one, but he's in the east and I'm in the west, so I fly it about once a year. Nice video and music BTW.

[@hotmknight1]

Awesome Video, just love the Cirrus. I'm an old man & will never afford this. So, thanks to you I can enjoy this..

[@golvic1436]

I fly a SR22 all the time. Not the turbo but it is faster than the Arrow I am getting my complex endorsement in. I do like taking new passengers in it especially people who are afraid to fly. That parachute is what got my mother into the airplane and she has to take medication to fly the airlines.

[@danfelix190]

You must not have many hours in it as not many are required to obtain your high performance or complex...

[@PiMpLiChEeSs]

that didn't make any sense at all..

[@PiMpLiChEeSs]

Robert G I maid a mistake as well in my reply, what he's stating is that it's faster than the arrow that he's getting his complex on, not that the sr-22 is complex.

[@cnfcnfsn]

That touchdown was butter!!! 😳😳😳

[@sey1yes2]

liked how the pilot explained the avionics. now I know why cirrus has become such a popular aircraft.

[@tonymerlot9305]

You sir, are a true professional!😊

[@MrPowerup2010]

For over-banking, you can override the ESP by holding the red autopilot disengage bottom

[@DanniGold1]

Awesome Video as always. That 22T is badass

[@tracer888]

There are 2 ways to disable, hold down the AP disconnect, or disable DSP in the menus (you can check ride in it :) )

[@observer1242]

Nice. I got my private license in 1987 and haven't flown since 1993. I seem to recall having to do steep turns at 60 degrees on my check ride. At least that's what my instructor always made me do.

[@patches8291]

Love the Cirrus! The new G6 is my dream plane if I could ever buy that winning lotto ticket.

[@WilliamWebber152]

Hi Josh ! If you press and hold the A/P Disconnect button on the joystick you're able to make steep turns without the plane pushing you the other way !

[@stephengoossen6060]

Dang, thats a beautiful bird! Nice flying!

[@Jim_Austin]

So much magic in the machine!

[@24HrBusinessFromHome]

Real cool to see what the insides of these things look like after controlling them for so long.

[@GeorgeGrozdanoff]

Best aircraft to own and fly to!

[@juanmla22]

Awesome aircraft and great piloting. Regards from Patagonia

[@JoeSmith-nu8oo]

Now I know why I see so many of these flying around!

[@Hawkeye6936]

What a great share and awesome airplane.

[@12WhiteBoy26]

One of the most entertaining aviation videos I have ever watched...and I watch a lot of them. Thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos, Josh.

[@NathanH172]

Reason why you can use recirculating air is it traps the air in the cabin which keeps in the humidity so windows will fog easier.

[@ldeshner]

My favorite plane took into pdx omg I love this plane phenomenal navigation

[@illocip]

Glad you're back Josh, hope your Uni exams are going well.And again nice video and that plane has a lot of technology, one thing i don't like, it's the side stick, for me the yoke everyday, if we ask the pilots what they like, the majority will say the yoke that's why Boeing still have in their airplanes. Have a nice day Josh and keep the videos coming. Greetings from Lisbon-Portugal. Carlos.

[@mikercflyer7383]

Thanks Mr Aviation beautiful airplane great video. Keep them coming.

[@slowsteve3497]

Great video captain.

[@jtkent28]

I've got a couple hundred hours in a G5 SR20. Haven't gotten to fly an SR22T. I'd love to take one up with oxygen and experience the flight levels in a single engine piston!

[@AdamGbl95]

Beautiful airplane. The "new car" in the sky.

[@ashleyatze9343]

This plane is awsome - I want one!!

[@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555]

Love those cabin heat/ac controls .... Dashboard by GM

[@christopherhadsell9049]

Superb video!

[@ormandhunter3546]

Sweet landing!

[@glider1232]

Great video, thanks so much for posting it. Sometimes it does seem to be a bit of a video game inside the newer cockpits..More time spent looking at the TFT screens than outside. Makes me wonder how often he scans for outside VFR traffic, especially at lower altitudes and around uncontrolled fields.. Transponders are not in all aircraft yet and even radios aren't required in some VFR aircraft flying into uncontrolled fields.

[@focus82grothm.84]

Very nice video. Beautiful plane and your both cool :-)

[@charliefoxtrotthe3rd335]

"oil temp is good"...(it's been running 8 seconds) LOL

[@blixtno]

Does the plane belong to the Flying Club? Just curious on how you guys got to take an insanely expensive plane for a lunch run lol

[@PressurePlayerStudio]

They buy it? lol

[@stizandelasage]

now that's a flight panel i'm jealous of

[@call911forcookies2]

That is one sweet aircraft! I wish i could fly that!

[@DovlandRally]

When I saw the headline, I was like "omg he actually spins a cirrus while taking lunch" But never mind! Could be a insane sight tho haah

[@granskare]

nice! the instrument panel reminds me of the Premier jet :) cool stuff!

[@tylerkilarski5831]

im going on my first cessna 172 flight today and im so excited

[@necc7490]

Love ur content dude. Keep it up :)

[@rogersmart1766]

This pilot seemed very knowledgeable because I will have to say he didn’t let this engine go up to 2000rpm like all other SR22 pilots do!

[@vaporize_h]

i luv this plane a lot . nd good jobs pilot

Nicely said at the end :)

[@janaviation9894]

great video like always

[@androidforever8627]

Beautiful Plane

[@Ep339]

I love this channel

[@Luke-cb9qf]

i haven't flown in 3 years. I miss it. Probably gotta get back into it this summer

[@joecarpenter4522]

Great video! I would open the door and call "clear prop," and then close the door prior to engine start. I'm assuming that the use of the AP was for demonstrating its capabilities. Seems like a shame not to hand fly her!

[@gliderpilot8882]

The steam gauge era is so over! Flying new aircraft is more like a video game even a computer nerd like myself would never own one.

[@zostrova]

I like the big TVs, mine as two little ones!

[@johnnybumpous9108]

I love this plane..

[@Jaguar79gt]

nice and interesting video..... this "little" plane has systems like a big airliner :))))

[@jamesjobe5807]

Fyi...just like in your car, the A/C recirc air becomes too humid and fogs up the windows. To defog, or anti-fog, the indoor humidity level needs to match outdoor humidity level. Thanks for the great videos!

[@robertmurray2954]

I think carbon monoxide contamination is part of the consideration. Having the AC compressor running should de-humidify the outside air as it passes through the system. Press the Autopilot disconnect to override the banking envelope protection to demonstrate 45° turns. Always fun to watch someone else follow the checklist. Always something to learn... Great video, thanks.

[@TeemarkConvair]

sweet ride

[@Tonnsfabrication]

Well you have some fancy flying friends there. Back in my days of flying fancy was considered getting out of a 46 Taylorcraft BC 12 D and into an 1982 Cessna 150. Holy shit this thing has flaps.... Dam straight it does its high dollar baby. None of that ol 85 hp shit this has an O-200 man it's like 100 hp baby sit back and feel the luxury Oh I miss flying so much.

[@cleburne-dfwseptic6843]

Push button airplane, flying skills not necessarily required ;) Nice video

[@synzcity]

Beautiful plane. I'll just never comprehend how people can rent them at the prices I've seen them go for. Crazy around here pushing $300+ a hour. Like one guy said in your comments, they'll empty pockets faster than you can fill them. Would love to fly one someday though!

[@Husker68135]

It's all relative to income level. $100/hr. for a Cessna is outrageous to most non-pilots as well. If you can afford a $900k aircraft then $300/hr+. isn't really that big of a deal.

[@synzcity]

That's very true. My pocket book hasn't come up to the $900k level yet. :)

[@colmortimer1066]

As a non-pilot glass cockpits freak me out. I mean you get into 80991 I know what every gauge does and I can see and understand everything you are doing. And auto pilots are the worst I don't even use cruise control in my car, even on a 4 plus hour drive. This Cirrus, I am pretty sure, is some sci-fy nonsense. :p But on a more serious note, it is cool to see you in other types of planes that are much more foreign to me, gives me something new to learn and be awed by. :)

[@FlyWithBrayden]

Yes!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👍🏽🛩

[@emmo_93]

it's almost like a car :p

[@fingerhorn4]

Indeed. There is something very car-like about it. For some it has everything they loathe about contemporary GA aircraft: sidesticks, not a single steam gauge, and of course hugely expensive for what it is. I Like this channel though. Excellent commentary.

[@tharsim]

except that it flies

[@Mrcaffinebean]

I had the same thought, the throttle looks like a shifter lol

[@Windtee]

During Cirrus interior development, BMW was modeled for their exceptional occupant-friendly ergonomics.

[@gbigsangle3044]

Does a car have a blue level button? Or how about oxygen and flaps? Oh yea, cars have crew management and flight planning built-in...no? Nothing like a car of course.

[@BonanzaPilot]

click the recirculate button when you land near dairies, so you don't have to smell the cows until you open the doors.

[@Salim-pt4tj]

Thanks its great video

[@scarpaz]

Ah, those avionics!

[@TRabbit1970]

Beautiful airplane, in a Maserati sort of way. I can look at it in the window, vicariously enjoying its promise of luxurious comfort, safety, and performance, but I couldn’t afford the operating costs...to say nothing of the loan to get a copy of the thing in my hanger.

[@zolitariglussey6302]

Nice aircraft!! do they call the yokes "Side StickS" like Airbus?

[@PRGuanica]

Beautiful

[@Big.Ron1]

Isn't that airplane something? 22T, my dream airplane.

[@dinman68]

That is badass!!!!!

[@bigbengamer]

Me: wait, dafuq the music come from? Pilot: let's turn is off Me: oh, 😄

[@andrewkithil8122]

I like your videos with the GoPros better

[@leighehrmann1285]

A quick question when you were discussing flap settings on approach. You mentioned not selecting more that 10 flap on your 172 until clear of cloud. What if you are shooting an ILS with the weather at mins? Shouldn't you be configured to land so there are no configuration changes in the last 200ft? Just my 2 cents

[@stgeorge143]

I really enjoy your videos. Obviously in someone else's plane you can't use your normal camera setup. Were you using a gimbal? If not, that might be something to consider investing in. Did you get any time to fly that side stick? What did you think?
