Cirrus SR22 G7 - IFR Proficiency - Full Flight

[@three-tango-whiskey]

Great videos Scott! I am an engineer at Cirrus and its great seeing the new G7 out in the field. I am starting my instrument training soon and these videos supplement the sportys traning well.

[@flying_scott]

It’s a fantastic platform, way to go!

[@dougpatterson4593]

Appreciate your hard work in putting together these videos as they are very helpful. We pick up our G7 next month, so it is nice to watch the new avionics in action.

[@AdamSinger-x3i]

Thanks for the video. I also fly the G7 and am a low time IFR pilot. Very helpful.

[@ironmanballer4868]

Love the content think you would make a great corporate pilot good luck can’t wait to see what’s next for u!!

[@greymarck]

182 owner in Idaho - extremely similar journey to yours but I'm trailing your hours slightly, thanks for sharing. Good quality and comments. Continuing to watch!

[@shoku2725]

Loving the content 👍🏽. Glad your plans are coming together! That commercial is right around the corner

[@justinbayse4417]

27:21 I love Opposing Bases! I’m working on my instrument rating right now and I’ve gotten a lot of good insight from them. Great video by the way!

[@flying_scott]

They are fantastic, I donate every month because I feel it’s that valuable. If you listen the the second feedback I posted in the description, where they read my story about LIFR in Chicago, that was 100% learning from them. I had this weird “fear” of ATC before that show. Working with ATC is so much more enjoyable now. Wish I discovered them during my instrument. Good luck!

[@JBalloonist]

@@flying_scottnow it makes sense that you mentioned not checking in on a new frequency immediately since the OB guys are always saying that. See you in the chat!

100% 😂 trying to do my part

[@alanwelch7297]

Great video. Nice IFR weather.

[@vincevitale5067]

Great videos! Really enjoy watching all of them. Learning quite a bit from your videos especially being from Washington Twp Michigan and am just at the beginning of my journey into my private pilot program. Actually had my discovery flight at Apogee aviation. Again thanks for the content, safe travels!!

[@flying_scott]

So far my two months at Apogee has been fantastic.

[@GregFlies]

I just flew my F33 across the country to Marquette this past week. Awesome area, had a blast.

[@marklevine4271]

Amazing video! Thanks for sharing!

[@caseybarry5624]

I’m not a CFII, but when established on the final approach, what I do is bug the altitude to the “missed approach” climb to altitude. This sets you up for the missed as well as reduces the “altitude alert.” Of course, if you have the minimum altitude set, you’ll still get the “minimums” call out.

[@flying_scott]

That’s a great point 👍🏻

[@Dremekeks]

Pivot case is the best!

[@BABOp593]

Most aesthetic GA cockpit out there on the G7!

[@flying_scott]

Not wrong 😉

[@trlrace]

Keep up the good work

[@flying_scott]

Thanks, will do!

[@cleblanc94]

Just found this video on my home page and already subscribed. Great stuff! Currently working on my instrument and also just flying a lot in between training flights. If you're ever in Central FL let me know! Would love to fly with you.

[@sethvalentine8240]

Pretty Cool! Next up the commercial! Then Multi!

[@flying_scott]

That’s the plan 👍🏻

[@flying_scott]

Wait, are you still instructing? Or is that 737 keeping you busy enough?

[@sethvalentine8240]

@@flying_scott 737 is keeping me busy. Quite a few opportunities for overtime flying, about 940 hrs in the last 12 months.

[@flying_scott]

@@sethvalentine8240that’s great!

[@IronCondorSimulations]

Great video! How does the intercom sound on your headset in the G7? My A30s sound muffled when I hear the intercom. Trying to figure out why. IFR proficiency flights for me this weekend!

[@flying_scott]

Yep, same. It’s a thing (so I’m told) with the radio implementation in the GTC. I’m not sure what is technically going on, but it sounded better in my G2. I’ve gotten used to it, but everytime I key up, it throws me off for a micro second.

[@JMerc]

Very interested to know more about the business ventures! I'm working towards the airlines, but want to know how I can build a business alongside that future too!

[@flying_scott]

You mean future or past business ventures?

[@JMerc]

@@flying_scott both. I'm definitely interested in how you financially got to where you're at now.

[@flying_scott]

@@JMercmy wife and I started and operated a medical spa for the past 14 years. Good size practice, had 20+ employees. Private equity has been buying up that industry lately and a great deal was presented, so we decided to take a buy out. Before that, I was in the tech field, but nothing crazy. Moving forward, not sure.. I’m going to see what opportunities present. I still want to do something with what we learned over the past 14 years in business. But I also love flying.. we’ll see, no defined plan other than a commercial/multi and a bunch more hours.

[@JMerc]

@@flying_scott awesome, thanks so much!

[@Bupkus68]

@@flying_scottPE paying nice multiples these days - 6-7x EBIDTA seems to be baseline. Congrats on the payday.

[@JTCUJO75]

Thank your for sharing..

[@fkranger]

Hey man - I’d love a quick chat. I enjoyed the video. I’m in the IDENTICAL situation you’re in as presented at the beginning of the video. I have a G7 as well. I’d love to ask a question about your climb and lean practice. At 22:01 I see you at 88% power - due to leaning. Happy to chat offline if you’d like! Thanks! -Fred

[@flying_scott]

Yeah! Send me a message to my email so I can get yours. [e-mail] I have a whole sheet worth of notes on engine leaning. Most of the info was from my old G2, but the concepts still apply. The G7 is really easy, I basically just lean top of the green arc on climb. Once in Cruise, I go lean of Peak, which is the top of the bottom green arc. Then I just monitor my temperatures. so far I’ve never been even close to danger zone. The temps are pretty much identical to my G2, which makes sense because they haven’t changed that motor … ever lol just basically keep the arrow outside the black parts, which would be the red fin of death, if you know what that means. But yeah, we can connect off-line.

[@flying_scott]

Although, I have my hundred hour inspection this week, my maintenance guy may tell me otherwise lol

[@DCOM20.]

those lovely screens and computers running stuff makes flying a lot easier. Ive flown in heavy storms in FS2020 just looking at the screen and it worked fine.

[@iSPELLinAMERICAN]

Which are you liking more, the gopro12 or insta360? Motorcycles is more my thing but been debating between these two cameras. I wish flying was my thing though

[@flying_scott]

I actually don’t like the insta360. The post workflow was not good for me, and the quality was not great in my opinion. I went back to my old GoProMAX and the 12.

[@iSPELLinAMERICAN]

@flying_scott ty for your feedback and I listened to the part where you explained how you got to this position in your life. Congratulations on your successes and never giving up. Me too one day. I subscribed and look forward to your videos

[@malluej]

Should have watched this one first...

“In the box” having trouble fungible that in the AIM 🤔
