You can fly such a variety of aircraft with ease that most people would envy. Keep up the great videos and I’ll keep watching.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thank you!

[@in2flying]

Love to hear the CSIP backstory.

[@mattb.7464]

Definitely need that backstory! 😂

[@FlyingwithRich]

Cirrus didn't renew me as a CSIP because I wasn't keeping up with the online program management, and not using/documenting their training material properly. I probably deserved it!

[@AstonDB8]

This feels like a Discovery show. 👍

[@surferonhigh71]

that intro with western music was a surprise to me, another thing was of you two chuckling while doing that banking to left, very unusual from your videos but very refreshing; as usual the presentation of the SR22 was excellent pretty good looking aircraft, dashboard gives you a hint for the future, great sweeping views with that camera; one thing i noticed that the ATC was shortened out from start of engines to head of runaway, its a way to insert other segments later on, Awesome video guys!

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thanks for watching!

[@steini6771]

Fired by Cirrus? That most hurt a lot. For them. Keep up these fab videos. Learning every time. Thanks -

Rich, love your videos ! No AP use. Also like the music on the intro. Thanks for your professionalism. You help me to better understand all things aviation.

[@FlyingwithRich]

You are correct on no AP use, but we handed out all the hats already. Stay tuned and we'll have more soon. Thanks for the message, and glad you are getting something from the videos!

I love flying with you, you crack me up. Did I mention I got fired!

Intro music with you prepping for another awesome video showcasing a plane NOT for sale! Let's go flying! And you added chapters.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Good call - but we were looking for no auto pilot or flight director use!

[@RonVF]

You showed yourself in the office packing your flight bag before heading out to the plane? Always enjoyable and informative videos. I also enjoy getting to see the landscape of the area you get to fly out of.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thanks for watching and the comment, but not what we were looking for!

[@drcode4]

You hand flew this one. Think I'd be too tempted to fly with the auto pilot since I don't have one in the plane I fly. Thanks Rich. Great short video.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thanks - correct. No AP use. We have away all the hats but more coming. Thanks for watching!

[@samviation]

Being on the East Coast TKS is a must for me especially.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Agree - and I have customers/friends who gave me a hard time about that comment about no de-ice for me so I certainly get it. I'm kind of spoiled by west coast flying! Thanks for watching!

Opening music was different! Just landed and immediately took off again! Did not use the autopilot and didn’t file an IFR.

Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot

[@smaviation]

TKS fully agree, plus it’s not certified for known ice anyway. Be glad you’re out of there, they don’t have a monopoly on good instructors.

[@ictpilot]

I thought Cirrus was certified known ice. At least in the turbo models.

[@smaviation]

@@ictpilot many people do. It’s deliberately vague in the sales material but not in the flight manual. See limitations section p.2.16 SR22 manual.😀

[@billkrokoship]

I seen you flew with the tie downs on adding to the parasite drag…noticed that at the end of the video. Agreed with the other items people mention on no destination and taxing instead of touch and go too.

[@FlyingwithRich]

No AP use was the difference we were looking for. Thanks for the message and commenting!

[@luiscoreano3915]

Good video! It was interesting to see there was a purpose for a video other than selling the aircraft. Knowing that you are planning to compare the SR22T to another aircraft seems to be a good idea. Your niche over other KZbinrs is being able to fly many different type of aircrafts. Maybe doing actual comparisons of different aircrafts rather than like other KZbinrs using the manufacturer’s videos to do the comparisons could be a new angle for content. Keep up the great work!

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@robertgreenesr.7459]

i like the beginning off the video i think for me that is new good job

[@firing_pin9971]

great video as usual. And you hand flew all the way :)

[@FlyingwithRich]

Correct but we ran out out of hats for this giveaway. More coming and thanks for watching and the message!

[@llwellyn1]

You made a complete lap through the pattern, a take-off and landing, before departing for the main section of the review. This is what I noticed was different.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Answer we were looking for was no auto pilot use - thanks for watching!

[@myleslovegrove7856]

Have you flown the DA 50 yet? Love to see you review that airplane.

[@FlyingwithRich]

I have not flown it yet and I hope too soon. Seems like a very interesting airplane!

[@Ophidian14]

At 8:42 you read the true airspeed as 176kts. However, in the lower left that's showing as the ground speed, it's showing a TAS of 184kts due to a quartering headwind. Can I have a hat?

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thank you!

[@mrkc10]

Good stuff brother. The music at intro was the difference ?

[@bj2benn93]

You mentioned multiple times that you got fired from being a CSIP. Why did you get fired?

[@FlyingwithRich]

It was kind of a joke, “fired” might be a strong word. They didn’t renew me as a CSIP because I didn’t meet their standard use of their training materials/on line records.

[@bobninemire5154]

........................The hat thing is great way to engage with your audience ;)

Thanks. Need to do it more but always for forget!

Immediate full stop landing after t/o for some reason. I’m not familiar with the Cirrus but a popped door latch?

[@FlyingwithRich]

[@jamesharkness1058]

I’ve been flying for over 35 years using yoke equipped airplanes. How hard is the transition to get comfortable with the side stick?

[@FlyingwithRich]

Simple!

[@gtr1952]

You mentioned Cirrus fired you, that was different and I don't think you mentioned it before. LOL I'm becoming "follicly challenged", new hats are cool!!. 8) Does the wing change shape w/wo TKS? The leading edge looks a little thinner? Thanks!! 8) --gary

[@FlyingwithRich]

“Fired” was maybe too strong - they didn’t renew my CSIP designation because I wasn’t using their program admin correctly. Wing on the SR22 is the same but if you get TKS they install panels on the wings/tail to disperse the anti-ice fluid. Adds some weight and drag. Thanks for watching!

[@Parr4theCourse]

Yea, I know some other instructors who are no longer Csip instructors due to differences on how to fly. I get that Cirrus had “their” way, but that didn’t mean any other way is “wrong”….. Didn’t notice anything “significantly” different as you change up some between videos anyway, but I take a hat anyway or swap you one!

[@FlyingwithRich]

It was really my fault with Cirrus. I didn’t meet their standard with using their training material (which customers had to purchase for me to get training credit for). Personal opinion - with the way flight instruction is now, Cirrus should really find a way to keep experienced instructors in their program.

[@davidg1290]

What did you do differently? At the beginning you did not say your tag line of "we're going to bring you along for the flight" (or some variety of that phrase)

[@FlyingwithRich]

I didn’t use the auto pilot on the whole flight. Thanks for watching and the message!

How can Cirrus fire you? I don’t get it? Can you give any more details? Also how would compare the Cirrus to the LX7? Which would your prefer?

It was kind of a joke- I was a CSIP and I didn’t meet their paperwork/curriculum standards so they didn’t renew my CSIP.

[@BayAreaCowboy]

@@FlyingwithRich ok. I thought it was funny how you talked about in your video. "Did I mention Cirrus fired me?" LOL. I love your channel by the way Rich. Great content. Private pilot from the bay area up north. I learned to fly when I was 40. I got a chance as a surprise to fly a new 2006 cirrus. First like it in my area. It was like a space ship. First glass pannel I ever saw. Flying that plane why I was a student changed things for me. I was never the same after that. Thanks for all the videos. I hope to meet you someday. Would love to buy a plane from you.

Nope. I didn’t use the auto pilot - thanks for watching and the message!

Great video! Why did Cirrus "fire" you? Seems silly.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Didn’t meet their requirements for paperwork and standards. They have a good program so no hard feelings - I was lightly joking.

[@jmcgarvey5]

What you did different- you received the departure at the river, but stayed in the pattern and returned to land. I was expecting you to mention some mechanical problem and you were returning to the airport, but that didn't happen.

Didn’t use the AP the whole flight.

[@mr.ginnationfunlifestyle3891]

Rich, another great video. This especially Cirrus is an art piece. Really awesome. I love it. You fly it so ease and smooth. Just in perfection of aviators work love. Is this your company plane? Some new member? And I want to say, you are 100% right. It’s also my absolute opinion. The fully equipped TKS single engine Cirrus is very often in questionable conditions flying, because the pilots think, I can do it. I have TKS. You can see this in many videos, it what conditions they are flying. To me ridiculous. Yes you can do it, but it is not smart. They get more careless about weather. To me it’s better in this single engine plane, to plan better my weather options and stay out of this. And as you said, the clean wing has some nicer sex appeal. Planes have their missions and limits. And a single engine plane like the Cirrus, their mission should not be in bad conditions all the time. So I get your idea about this and share this 100%. Everybody as he likes. Save aviation needs smart aviator and save flying missions. Severe icing and bad weather is nothing common for a Cirrus aircraft or Cessna 182 or Mooney or what so ever. ❤ thanks Rich again for this great review of this beauty. 😊

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thanks for the message and watching!

[@ictpilot]

You can plan all you want but sometimes you'll stumble into a little of it. Depending on what part of the country you were in, it would definitely be nice to have it. Just to be able to get in or out of somewhere. As long as it's light ice and a thin band of it.
