Good video presentation! I've been an A & P mech. for 51 years & frequently work on / Annual Cirrus Acft. I was impressed how you managed the engine, wish everyone would do it as you did in video. Our shop has pulled cylinders @ 300 hrs. TT due to improper leaning. One Cirrus SR22T (1100 TT ) had been topped twice before we worked on it (excessive oil consumption) so we pulled all cyls. again for third time & sent to well respected engine O/H shop we deal with. They informed us the cyls. were finished & to order 6 new TCM Cyls. & pull the connecting rods for inspection. 2 of the six rods flunked magnaflux & when we pulled the rods the upper bearing (toward piston) looked like it suffered a shotgun blast. Makes me wonder what else in the engine might be wounded & might fail or not make TBO. I've gone out to run-up SR 22's for Annual & found 3 to 31/2 qts. on the dipstick. Once again, nice video & a pleasure to one flown competently!

A few things (speaking as a five year SR22T owner). The M350 is substantially more expensive (about 20%)...so the similar performance numbers don't really matter. I never run my Cirrus over 75% power (180kt true in still air), above is just not needed (waste of fuel and engine), esp at cruise and that will keep the engine cooler and lasting longer. I often fly at 15 to 17k with a canulla and so do other owner friends that also own the plane. Fuel burn is a little better and the oxygen is cheaper than fuel. Never lean in climb, or descent. The best way to lean the SR22T is not to use the carat or MP. Instead use TIT temps. Keep them just under 1600 and you will see CHTs stay below 380f and the fuel burn will be under 17gph. The engine likes to be a little leaner than the carat gives you.

@JM-bu7cf It’s unfortunate aircraft engines have had little development/technology and costs are so high. I figure a base Toyota Camry engine has about 200 HP (the entire new car likely costs less than a new 200 HP Lycoming engine). I also figure you could put a derivative of a Camry engine in an airplane and the engine would do quite well from a safety/reliability perspective as-is, but to do it per the FAA it would make the engine cost 10X what it does for a car. I believe Toyota certified an aircraft engine some time ago, but never did anything with it. I think people forget that the masses of people don’t want to fly airplanes so that limits the demand by huge numbers. Many people who might want to fly are turned off by what it takes to get a license and then to be able to use it efficiently is also expensive. The end result is very low demand for aircraft, and prices go up as demand decreases - the cycle repeats itself to where we are today. I don’t like it, but it’s reality. I don’t blame aircraft manufacturers for high costs of airplanes. I believe the market sets the price, and OEM’s have to figure out how to be profitable within the demand structure. Cessna tried to build a really low cost Skyhawks when people complained about the high costs of Skyhawks. Reality was - no one bought them. Turns out Skyhawks buyers wanted the fully loaded, expensive version. I’m not trying to give any kind of lecture - just my opinion, and maybe I’m a little defensive for general aviation, and testy from all the criticisms of airplanes costing so much, low technology, and comparing with cars!

Running 82% power, TIT 1710 ROP and CHT at 418 - typical SR22 Turbo numbers. And it's typical for SR22 owners to replace all cylinders at least once before TBO. My Cessna Turbo 182T will do 150 knots at 11,500 burning 14 gallons/hr. My CHT's cruise at 370 and the TIT is about 1585 and all my cylinders WILL make it to TBO. I don't understand why Cirrus drivers push their engines so hard. Great demo video as usual, I appreciate the work it takes to produce such quality.
@speedomars2 жыл бұрын
You are a laugh. My SR22T at 75% power flew at 180kts cruise, CHTs never above 360f. And after six years the cylinder compression and turbos are still at the same level as the day I flew the plane out of the factory. There is nothing typical about anyone replacing cylinders in a Continental before TBO. Have fun in your clunky chunk of Cessna junk.

With all due respect, people that, like, and have SR's. I personally don't think, its worth the investment. I believe, it is a more of a status symbol, and trendy if anything. That's just my own personal, humble opinion. That being said, If you're going invest that kind of a money, in a plane, I believe, you get more bang for your buck with a Beech A36 turbonormalized. A G1000 NXI suite. A truely a 6 seat aircraft. With an useful load of around 1200 lbs, if not more, and travel in comfort. Cruise speed in mid teens, around 220 mph. Wish al a happy, and safe flying.

It really is a nice airplane. I’ve always been a fan of the company. I became a CSIP a couple of years back and was very impressed with the training program/people/company. Looking forward to your upcoming video!

Main thing not mentioned: Cirrus is Chinese-owned. I would never ever be a part of helping the chinese beat western companies in the aviation industry. Products from chinese companies are completely out of the question for me.

Respect your opinion but avoiding anything Chinese made is impossible. You wrote this on a computer or a phone thats probably 95% Chinese made. You should just accept the fact that every microchip comes from China. Also the ones in your Avionics. Would you also avoid Diamond, Embraer, Tecnam, Dassault etc. or are those "western" enough? I think the key would be to build something better and let the free market decide. I don't like Cirrus because I just don't like the way it handles and looks.

@@petsmith7772 Always, every single time someone writes that same illogical, nonsensical response. You don't even understand the distinction between chinese-made and chinese company. Nor do you understand the difference between a market where there is no choice but to buy chinese-made and a market where you have plenty of choice. Crazy that nowadays every single time people step up to defend things like this.

If you only knew how much shit you use on a daily basis that was NOT made, either entirely or partially, by western companies... you’d live under a rock. Step out of the 1940s and into the 2020s.

@@rogerbee697 Do you have a point you're trying to make? Interesting too how your name seems to be fake and your account was just recently made. I would very much be surprised if you are not a company hired by China or Cessna to shill for them here. Most planes in the world are not Chinese, so it's easy for me to fly around daily without any Chinese airplanes. Especially ones that are not Chines bought but everything about them invented, developed, all of it financed in the west.

Sorry, I can't agree with the statement at the end of this video that the SR22 is a safe plane. The SR22 has had a disturbing number of fatal accidents in the pattern due to stalls of all sorts. In 2011 Aviation Consumer Magazine reported the SR22 fatality rate per 100k hours as 1.6, compared to competitor Cessna 182 at 0.69. In response Cirrus has stressed training and use of the parachute to bring the fatality number down. But pattern crashes continue. Compared to a stable flying airplane like C182 the SR22 has sacrificed too much stability for speed. I'll pass for safety reasons alone. But also I don't like the glass cockpit. I want to fly an airplane, not program its computers.

Good points - everyone has their own assessment of value. I’ve got some good time in Cirrus aircraft and my opinion is that they are safe, certainly higher performance which has some negatives, but seems they appeal the largest light GA market.

I'm sure this is a very nice airplane. BUT! My question is; how long can we realistically expect a "Plastic" airframe to last? Just the UV rays from the Sun will likely make it UNSAFE TO FLY, in from 7 to 15 years ! If it's kept hanged and well protected, will it be SAFE to fly in 20 years? Or 30 years? I recently flew as a passenger on a DC-3 built in the late 30's. BUT, if that old plane had been made out of plastic instead of metal? I'd have never got aboard!
@FlyingwithRich3 жыл бұрын
Good question - I think Cirrus had an airframe time limitation on it when originally certified, but I think it was removed later. I’ll check on that.
@captaindunsel28063 жыл бұрын
If only they could invent something that you could completely cover the aircraft in to protect it from UV rays. Something liquid which could be sprayed all over the plane and allowed to dry. If it came in different colors that would be even better.

You're thinking of the old days of composites. Modern composite aircraft will probably outlive most of our flying time.
