Cirrus Vision Jet FULL FLIGHT: Autothrottles, stalls, steep turns, RNAV & more!

Hey everyone, thanks for watching! Our Airplane Mojo will be on display next week at Oshkosh in the Garmin booth. We will be there most mornings and I’ll try to keep my Instagram page updated on when we are around the airplane. Hope to see you guys there!

You are blessed to be flying with Mutt. He was my ground instructor for my initial and we both flew in the Air Force. He is by far a top notch pilot. The best mentor pilot out there!

[@davestarr7112]

Thanks for a terrific video that actually _showed_ us something of how the Vision Jet works for the pilot rather than being nothing more than the usual "Wow Cirrus is great" blather. Truly an excellent little ship and some really clear thinking has gone into making the systems work for the pilot rather than so many systems requiring constant attention. Cirrus you did DO GREAT, I want one!

[@tommorgan1291]

Yes! Should be great. Why? $3,500,000 price. Hard to believe there's a market?

[@38Flyer]

I am former military and airline with 15,000+ hours and I enjoy your videos. Great job!

[@gawebm]

I've been flying GA for 30 years but I can't even imagine the knowledge required to thoroughly understand this aircraft and be able to fly it safely. I learned some time ago there are many people in this world a lot smarter than I am....

[@UncleKennysPlace]

Likely it's much easier than flying, say, a legacy piston twin!

[@bryonraper3506]

It’s not that hard to understand what “it” tries to do. The ugly part comes when “it” isn’t set up right and a pilot that is used to “it” doing everything. That is something to see. Unfortunately I see that kind of thing in newer pilots that have grown up on garmin.

Amen, I thought the same thing for a few years. No more flying by the seat of your pants.

[@SIUDR7202]

Wow. I’m not a pilot but have flown hundreds of times as a skydiver and flown with my friends who are pilots. Flown in private jets to sea planes. As being an executive protection agent my job had me in all kids of aircraft flying all over the world. This video of the demoing the Cirrus Vision Jet was very exciting. Well done. Can’t wait till I’ll be able to ride in one. Hopefully soon!

[@granddad-mv5ef]

Until watching this, I had misgivings about the Vision Jet. COMPLETELY changed my mind!

I salute the Col. (assumption) for his dedicated service flying the meanest single seat fighter in the world. I was a 32436C avionics technician in the USAF back in the early 80's.

[@russellhorn7437]

I've seen this aircraft flying in and out of our airport in Lebanon Mo. I tried to find what it was to no avail, but glad to see it on youtube. It's a beautiful aircraft, and probably gets good fuel mileage. It's also quiet which puts it steps ahead of most private aircraft. Thanks for the video.

[@jameschristiansson3137]

Burns 80-85 gallons of fuel in the first hour of a trip, and about 70 gallons per hour while cruising. I'm not sure who it is designed for, one KZbinr changed his channel name from CirrusMax to CitationMax after brief ownership. Cool little jet for the right mission.

[@laurogarza4953]

When I first saw this aircraft, some years ago, I thought it was the SEXIEST aircraft I had ever seen! You guys have shown us that the Vision Jet is also a super modern and safe aircraft capable of high performance with comparably good economy. Amazing!

[@robertgantry2118]

You thought it was even sexier than the B1-b Lancer? LOL

This was a fun watch. And what a beautifully designed little jet. It seems luxurious, comfortable and safe. And man that's actually quite a gigantic TV for such a tiny space.

[@GaryLaaks1]

Imagine time warping this jet back to the Wright brothers and showing them all the systems ? Obviously no runways and GPS, jet fuel, ATC etc but hay humanity would look at it as a UFO I would think. Beautiful aircraft.

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

@garylaaks1 Oh, you'd want to show them GPS, runways, control towers, & everything else., too! But you'd have to be careful with that; they might throw down their tools in defeat: Why are we building this dinosaur?

[@Big.Ron1]

Dang, I had been thinking CJ-4 but you may have just changed my mind. Very cool jet and just right for a old guy and his wife to travel in. Thank you to the 3 of you for showing us the plane and how easy it is to fly. Very cool. Be safe.

[@ColinDyckes]

Amazing aircraft. Electronics automation making it so easy to fly. One question though: does it not have 'steam gauge' pressure instruments for total electrical failure, or is that terminal?

[@Hossman757]

Outstanding video. The SF50 and really Cirrus as a whole, is a game changer in aviation.

[@nctplarry]

100% WOW!! I'm not even a pilot, but I dearly love watching recorded flights...and yours gets my Gold Star Award all the way around. My teenage nephew recently bought his own King Air, an upgrade from his twin engine plane (can't remember the model) and I look forward to flying with him. After all, we're best buddies, so he's itching to fly from Sherman, TX over here to Tupelo, MS so we can go bust through some clouds. 🙂 Thanks for a thrilling watch today. I'll be coming back for more of your videos, for sure.

[@7775Kevin]

That panel is really something. I got my license back in 1975 and this sort of thing wasn’t even imagined. Pretty cool.

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

@7775Kevin Well, duh, in 1975 this technology was in its infancy: 2 guys in a garage with a much less capable, much bigger computer!

[@WSallai]

Wow! I’m not a pilot, would love to learn and should I hit the big jackpot lottery, I will definitely want to buy one of these after getting my license/wings. It appears to be all measures a very comfortable & safe plane to fly due to all of its safety features, particularly the parachute. Super video demonstration.

[@SimonAmazingClarke]

WOW. As fully automated if you want, or a lively fun aircraft. Very nice. Great flying too.

[@brianb5594]

Great complete flight in the Vision Jet Mindy! What a piece of cake airplane to fly. Your comment about I feel like I should be doing more was funny. Just finished watching it. Cool airplane that does seem that much different than flying an SR22. You should do a video of your impression of flying it.

[@threegreendown414]

Very impressive. This is the first video of yours that I've watched, now I want to see more.

[@Lone_GamerUK]

As an ex PA 28 pilot flying in one of these or even owning would be a dream. But with a single engine jet, the power it has for weight, plus the return home safety button feature, and the parachute safety system it's just a perfect jet for a mix of safety and ease. Supper instruction and looked lots of fun, let all have one of these. Thank goodness for KZbin & MSFS etc. Not the kudos of P180, citations jet or Cessna's in the bigger classes but the feature this has are amazing.

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

"Super"; supper is 'fud' ("Far Side", Gary Larson ref.)..

[@fighterbomberMiG27]

Nice friendly pilot talking, amazing camera and ATC communication. Do you feel comfortable flying on a single engine? After many years of flying on a single-engine fighter, I no longer experiment. Only two engines😀

Sweet ride, it's a long way from the old Cessna 150 back in 1970. Wow, pressurized too. I'm 74 in bad health, couldn't pass the physical, but damn what dream to fly this plane.

[@rickeriksen1131]

Years ago when we flew with steam gauges and not automation, I remember the Falcon 10 I used to fly amongst others...back then we had this little flight test maneuver that was required to get type rated and we called it the FAA waltz...under the hood to get a certificate one needed to set an altitude like 16,500 and if you went above or under that alt you busted the rid. So to start then set a primary heading and started a turn to the left or right at 250kts between two headings 0 to 60 and back to 0 and back to 60 etc. (hence the term waltz)...so 250 Kts, and Turing at 15 degrees and pulling back on the power while still going back and forth in a 45 degree turn...naturally as you lost lift you added power, then as you came back around to the level you would have to pull the power back to not exceed the original airspeed and reserves the turn and repeat still the same airspeed...then pull the power back while still keeping the turns going and maintaining alt...when slow enough add flats until it stalled still doing the turns, add power to recover without losing any alt, keep the turning going and do not exceed 10 kts from the stall...then pull the power back and repeat until you get to full flaps and gear still Turing back and forth final stall and recover back to 250kts again plus of minus 100 ft...not sure it is still required or required in the plane....but if you want to see how well you are coronated and what your instrument sills, are, give it a try...and loses the TV screens and get two engines...
