Cirrus SR22 Gen 6 | IFR from ORL to GMU | RNAV 19 GMU with ATC Audio

We are taking off from Orlando Executive Airport (KORL) and flying up to Greenville Downtown Airport (KGMU) in a Cirrus SR22.
The weather is nice in Florida but takes a quick turn once we reach norther Georgia and goes into solid IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) and shoot an approach into the airport (RNAV 19).
I try to talk through everything I do as much as possible in order for you guys to follow along with ease.
If you are new here: Thanks for stopping by, and make sure to check out my other flying videos. If you'd like to see more of the content I provide, subscribing helps out a lot!
Enjoy!

Nice flight I love your videos

[@FlyByGarrett]

Appreciate the comment, brother 🙏 🤙🏼

[@compman0678]

Garrett is amazing! he explains everything in a way which is so easy to understand! I love this channel!

[@mdub1955]

Always ahead of the airplane... nice work.

[@bernardanderson3758]

I’m glad to Go over and Brief the approach as always

[@pilotlanham]

Great video! Really enjoyed watching that look forward to your future videos!

[@FlyByGarrett]

Thanks! Stay tuned for more!

[@ericsaacks488]

Well done, great video!

[@FlyByGarrett]

Thanks! :D

[@LRobichauxIV]

Very solid instrument approach discipline and skills. Love the way you verbalize your flows and procedures. Look forward to more of your instrument videos … especially IMC and low approaches.

[@OmarKnowCars]

One of the best IFR videos on youtube. Thank you.

[@FlyByGarrett]

Appreciate it 🙏

[@josec4790]

I just came across your channel. Love your videos. I love how you explain each process of the Flight. I just bought a cirrus, after 10 years of non flying , and love it. Enjoy

[@FlyByGarrett]

Congrats on the new Cirrus! Im glad you are enjoying the content!

[@bernardanderson3758]

Professional Pilot to be with and thank you for letting me ride on this one

[@FlyByGarrett]

Im happy to bring you along!

[@Feh60169]

This was awesome. I fly an SR20 G6 and will be starting my instrument in a next year, so super helpful to learn ahead from this!

[@FlyByGarrett]

That's why I updoad!

[@MichaelHplus]

Thrilling breaking out of the IMC to see the runway like that :)

[@FlyByGarrett]

It's always my favorite part!

[@ProPilotPete]

Wish you stayed on tower long enough to hear king air land safely. Nice video!

[@HiTechRob]

My home airport! Love GMU. Nice flight in. I fly a Piper Dakota.

[@23249997]

amazing bro!

[@FlyByGarrett]

Thanks man!

[@viewerad]

Another great video. I especially like how you leave the camera view in one place for enough time to take in everything. Some others constantly change camera angles after a couple of seconds which I find distracting. Your chosen views, detailed explanations and procedures make me feel like I'm flying... when I'm not flying. I actually follow your flights with Foreflight in hand. You didn't mention it but a flight such as this one is yet another reason to get IFR. Beautiful bird btw.

[@FlyByGarrett]

Thanks Alfredo! I am glad you mention this about the camera... Because lately I have been changing the camera angles a little more to see what works best, so next video might look a bit different. But please keep me posted on which one is best and I will stick with it. Happy landings!

[@LtGunz]

watching for first time & never seen and/or knew of runup while taxing...I'm going to try it

[@FlyByGarrett]

Here's a little disclaimer: I do fly about 750 hours a year, so pretty much all procedures on the aircraft I fly I feel confident to do it blindfolded (which I wouldn't obviously) just be careful, keep your attention sharp, and stay safe! :)

[@michelleleeginger5225]

I just learned so much from your video, I just subscribed ❣️If you're not an instructor.....you should be ❣️❣️❣️

[@FlyByGarrett]

Thanks for the kind words! I am an Instructor, however, I have moved on to the airlines. So unfortunately I won't be uploading more cirrus videos, but hopefully there are enough uploaded that can help out!

[@garygazman3827]

Wow , great video. It’s by far the best IFR video I’ve seen in a long time. Impressive how far ahead of the airplane you are at all times. You dont see that to often unfortunately. My Cherokee is over at KCEU (Clemson airport ) and I fly that Approach often. Have to love the GFc 500. I have dual G5s and the GFC500 and love it. You had mentioned VNAV issue , I still have a 430W , so I’m not able to use VNAV, but I can tell you that even without VNAV, the AP will try to climb into the GS if your power setting is slightly to low. Unless you’re referring to something different ? You also had the pleasure of talking to the cranky Speed demon Tower controller !!! That guy is terrible. I’ve heard Students pilots get totally confused by him multiple times. Actually had a Cirrus turn into me as I was flying the RNAV 1 approach because he misunderstood the Tower. If you’re ever over by KCEU , let me know.

[@FlyByGarrett]

Appreciate the kind comments man. Yeah I wasn't a fan of that guy. I remember one time I flew in there he asked me something, but wasn't very clear about what he was asking, so I asked him again what he meant, and he answered back like I just offended him and his mom. Whatever. I'll for sure let you know! I'm in the regionas now, but maybe I'll get back into the GA world. Safe flying my friend!

[@garygazman3827]

@@FlyByGarrett Thanks pal. Fly safe.

[@Shaneepe1]

awesome instrument approach! I am with you on the frustration of vnav descent followed by a climb to gp. Normally I don't bother with descending early. I just hit apr and wait for the diamond to come in

[@FlyByGarrett]

Amen to that!

[@bernardanderson3758]

This is what I’ve always wanted to do is flying IFR cross country in a Cirrus SR 22 Generation models so I’m glad to ride with Garett because he knows his Aircraft

[@joechoward]

Awesome video. I just came across your channel and I subscribed. I recently received my PPL training in a 172. I hope to one day purchase a Cirrus, but I want to obtain my instrument rating first and get more hours under my belt.

[@FlyByGarrett]

Thanks man! Get that Instrument! It will give you a set of skills that just allow you to be a much safer pilot. Happy flying my friend!

[@rugger1009]

Nice

[@zacharynorman397]

Stumbled across your channel, and happy I did! I am a fellow Cirrus pilot (and have a few videos on my channel just for fun you might enjoy). I appreciate your videos!

[@FlyByGarrett]

Glad you did! Thanks Zachary :)

[@andrewschmertz]

nice video. I'm generally not a huge fan of doing the run up items while taxiing unless there's a reason. Your attention isn't out the window.

[@FlyByGarrett]

Its one of those things I don't recommend doing at all unless you are a) comfortable with the amount of multitasking b) on a straight taxiway And c) no aircraft infront of you Thanks for sharing!

[@mshroder1]

Nice video. Well done approach and landing. I wondered what your thought process was in not having anti ice on?

[@FlyByGarrett]

Thanks a lot! The anti ice stays off unless I see the Outside Temp reaches 5 degrees Celsius or less, and there's visible moisture. From there I start paying attention to the icing indicator tabs located on the leading edge of the wings, and I also consider any reports of icing from other aircraft. In this case, most of the icing started a couple of thousand feet above my altitude. Hope this makes sense!

[@bernardanderson3758]

I already got our IFR clearance on file and I’m ready to copy information Foxtrot

[@ronniethepilot]

Your da man very impressive from the beginning it was a pleasure to watch and learn. Are you based out of Orlando?

[@FlyByGarrett]

Thanks Ronny! Indeed I am.

[@ronniethepilot]

Man I would love to fly with you sometime. I just passed my written test got a 97%. I got Al my hours completed. Just working on getting prepared for my checkride soon. But honestly I would love to take a flight even if it’s a pattern work. Never been in a cirrus

[@jeremyjackson7332]

Just curious as to how long this flight took? Currently in training out of GMU! Great content Appreciate the full process flow! Keep it coming!

[@FlyByGarrett]

I appreciate the comment man. It took about 2.5 to 2.7 hours or so. I'll make sure to keep them coming for yall!

[@jeffhagen3432]

Nice video, very good camera placement and steady camera work. Question, is it possible to get the approach plate on the right display? Is this a Garmin avionics? What series of avionics? Thanks.

[@FlyByGarrett]

Yes! You can get the approach plate up on the right display and it will show you where you are in reference to the plate. Garmin G1000 NXi

[@Blinkybills]

Just discovered your channel. Really enjoyed your flight. Felt like I was on board. Random question, how long did it take you to master your IFR rating?

[@FlyByGarrett]

I really got better at it the more frequent I did it. Using VATSIM with Flight Simulator really helped. And then I got more confident hanging around and flying with other pilots that were REALLY confident in it. Immerse yourself!

[@abrahamnemani3907]

Awesome channel with great content. One suggestion if I may? Please exclude the music as I find it more important to hear ATC calls and learn. Thank you for sharing.

[@FlyByGarrett]

I've been easing back in the music with my later videos. So no worries! Thanks for the comment!

[@rachellevy7038]

You need a Gopro in the right side of the window ,and in front do get different views in and outside the plane .

[@FlyByGarrett]

I agree, but gopros arent exactly cheap, haha. But I'm saving up for them. Might be a while.

[@anthonyescribens]

Your cockpit management is outstanding! Ive never seen a run up while taxing before, is that a Cirrus thing? I'm currently in IFR training.

[@FlyByGarrett]

Thank you! No, not really. The whole runup while on the go just came with practice and a close eye from my instructor while I was training to be a CFII. He stated that to be a good Instructor, you have to be great at multi-tasking. I eventually moved to the pilot services world of things, and I found it very efficient and money-saving to do the run-up this way. Please don't do it if you are not comfortable with it. I usually make sure that I'm on a straight path with no aircraft in-front of me. Really glad you liked the video!

[@anthonyescribens]

@@FlyByGarrett Got it! Thanks for responding, here comes my run-up… and rotate. :)

[@cherokee592]

The runup should be done with 1700 rpm and with a very lean mixture. That‘s why i wouldn‘t do it taxiing. Nice video.

[@1973cessnaflyer]

Was always told not to do anything while taxiing except taxi. That’s how accidents happen. Pay attention to taxi speed, centerline, where you are and where you are going.

[@FlyByGarrett]

@@1973cessnaflyer so, do what you're told.

[@barbaraa5017]

Like pea soup!

[@FlyByGarrett]

They call it "being in the soup" for a reason lol

[@dsinha99]

How did you do the mag checks at 1700RPM while taxiing? Do you ride the brakes or just go faster and finish quickly?

[@FlyByGarrett]

Yup, just hold the brakes a little harder to not gain speed, do the magic check which should take less than 20 seconds, and go straight back to idle. If you see issues with the mag during this and need to troubleshoot, stop the airplane I'm a safe spot and go through whatever you need to.

[@chasehall8761]

Can you tell us about the 4 second throttle rule? I don’t think I’ve heard that specifically.

[@FlyByGarrett]

Of course! I saw it in a Cirrus training video some time ago. You go from throttle idle to full throttle in a span of 4 seconds so you won't overstress the engine crankshaft when increasing the power. Its a very good practice for any piston aircraft really. I would do it in a span of 3 seconds back when I flew the 152 and 172.

[@lon1554]

If you turn on the air conditioner while driving a plane, will the oil drop a lot?

[@FlyByGarrett]

Not that I've noticed. The RPM will drop by about 100 to 150 but that's the only impact I've seen by the A/C

[@OlavSurlandHansen]

Do I see right? Is he taxiing without touching the controls? While his plane is auto-taxiing, he is doing his check-list... Fantastic or what?

[@FlyByGarrett]

I'm still steering it manually! Taxiing is done using pedals with your feet. Then the controls you see used by mt hands are the ones used when in the air!

[@patrickmurray8304]

did you make the turn at 12.02 or was that the autopilot ?

[@FlyByGarrett]

Can't remember. Does it matter?

[@1973cessnaflyer]

Run up during taxi? Is that proper and safe procedure?

[@FlyByGarrett]

When you're an instructor/pro pilot that flies 800+ hours a year, you become very good at a lot of things. Do as you are told by your CFI. I've made this attention dividing task work only for me and only when certain criteria are met. Happy Flying!

[@StanleyMitchem-ky7ih]

Ac I prohibited during flight or takeoff?

[@FlyByGarrett]

Nope. Just a slight performance penalty

[@smiddy19801]

No Way i can hear Lewis Dixon on the radio lol

[@FlyByGarrett]

😂

[@saulpilot]

Ugly definition on instruments camera, please put a 4K camera!!! Best Regards from MMMX

[@FlyByGarrett]

Its a 4K camera, but its probably too zoomed out. Im on wide view there.
