Colorado Cirrus Life | Episode 1

[@radhikavij5921]

This was the nicest video 👍🏻 The presenter did a fabulous job. Simple and to the point.

[@lancewilliams5726]

The technology today with your graph is amazing

[@seankelsey7097]

Going to see these guys tomorrow and get a tour, they have been very nice with communicating. I have no prior flight experience so a bit nervous. Great video, thank you for sharing.

[@Assassin1959]

That was just awesome...we're taking this SR22 Turbo for some pancakes...

[@matthewgrunenwald1676]

Great video, Connor!

[@zachs5596]

Simply amazing.

[@georges4562]

Very nice !

[@pslny]

Tough job boys, lol. Great video.

[@ColinPrenger]

Yeah its a really tough one! Thanks!

[@josephjolly1936]

Nice flight, thanks for the ride 👍

[@ColinPrenger]

Thank you for riding along!

[@jeromecannon7344]

Beautiful plane.

[@milehighsilver2019]

Awesome video!. I live minutes from Centennial and while not a pilot, I love all the Cirrus aircraft, The Vision Jet is insane, Thanks for posting

[@ColinPrenger]

Thanks for watching!

[@Windtee]

Wing-rockin' nice!

[@DNModels]

ATC at 1:39. Everything that is wrong with aviation is 2 seconds. I suppose that is how he talks to his wife and kids too. Maybe even faster.

[@ColinPrenger]

OR it was just a busy day at Centennial (pretty much most days). They tend to talk fast here with all the traffic. Gotta stay on your toes at APA!

[@thomasrudder9639]

No shit! why in aviation cant people just talk normally???

[@BlockstoNewgames]

Hey Iʻm training with Independence Aviation, cant say enough good things about them and am super happy with my experience with them!

[@ColinPrenger]

Thanks Hayden!

[@damienford3587]

Brilliant, thanks!

[@PilotDaveAviation]

On the template does it show the airplane on it ? And on the synthetic vision I couldn't hear it but does it call out after 500 down to 20? Again thanks again for sharing, what a beautiful aircraft....

[@speedomars]

The (MFD) shows the aircraft flying over a sectional, an Instrument plate or the moving map. Note the half arc in front of the plane...that is the calculated point at which the plane will achieve the altitude bugged. Synthetic vision is on the PFD.

[@roygozlan04]

can you share some info in regards to what setup you have with the cameras and audio syncing , are you using Garmin verb via bluetooth on the GMA 350C to sync audio ?

[@edmoore3910]

Beyond my pocketbook.

[@tyler_russell]

I am confused. Was this a fall flight or springtime? Both seasons are mentioned.

[@thomasrudder9639]

fall

[@MikeKobb]

I had exactly the same thought! I do think it's fall based on the second video.

[@gbigsangle3044]

The profile view has been there since the G5, possibly before. Georeferenced charts have also been there in older Cirrus planes. Usr waypoints are tricky. You can define them on Garmin Pilot on the tablet and synch them via Flightstream but you can't delete them on the tablet and synch them out of the G1000. They have to be deleted on the G1000 by hand. The altitude warning happens of course because you had the ALT bug set higher than your descent into the airport. You can twist it to field elevation if you dont want that warning. The synthetic vision is not, of course, to be used as a actual reference of anything on the ground or runway. It has lawyer warnings that they are suggestive. Like terrain mapping for example.

[@ColinPrenger]

Yes, the profile view has, but we didn't show completely the VSD function which is new to the G6. For the synthetic vision, it is a fantastic reference for multiple items: traffic awareness, terrain awareness, and on an instrument approach in IMC you can see a synthetic runway to improve your situational awareness.

[@speedomars]

@@ColinPrenger The profile view of the terrain is in the G5, so are winds aloft. All the elements shown, moving map, synthetic vision, instrument plates with georeferencing are also in the G5.

[@MikeKobb]

@@speedomars I own a G5, but have also flown in a G6. As Colin says, the G6 adds the "vertical situation display", which not only shows you the profile, but also your projected flight path based on your VNAV setup or your current descent. It's a nice addition, especially on an approach. The other thing that is not in the G5 is the ability to split the MFD and display the plate plus other information. Overall, the G6 has a lot of nice evolutionary improvements, especially the much faster performance for things like panning and zooming. I couldn't justify the additional expense over the G5 (~$100k price bump on the used market for comparable planes comparing last year of G5 to first year of G6) but for those who do buy the G6, they'll definitely have a sweet setup.

[@speedomars]

@@MikeKobb There is a vertical situation display in the G5 for terrain and it shows the flight path in relation to terrain. There is also VNAV profile and flight paths shown. And there is the arc that shows when you will reach the VNAV altitudes. You can display plates on the MFD with georeferencing, not sure what a split screen display offers since its already difficult to see the text on a plate in full screen overlay. The NXi has faster processors. But there are no revolutionary changes between G5 and G6. Cirrus does that on purpose. You note the $100k price bump...and THAT is the most significant thing between the G5 and G6. These lights and incresed processor speeds and change in the keyboard layout do not justify that price hike. But Cirrus did me a solid because not only did they offer Cirrus owners free transition training when selling their planes, but they made the G5 more valuable since getting into a G6 costs so much more.

[@PatrickRyan1068]

"Betty?" Good one. I bet that was IRT the (Perspective?) audio voice calling out "Altitude" on the base leg (time hack 6:04). There's some interesting history on Betty and her colleagues at Wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitching_Betty ).

[@ColinPrenger]

Yup, that's what some Cirrus drivers call her. She does all sorts of call outs for us. Including now she calls out 600' AGL for the CAPS altitude.

[@brianmcgee115]

Colin, have you been/ going to be typed in the Vision Jet?

[@ColinPrenger]

Hi Brian, I flew the SF50 last year for the first time, but no I'm not typed nor am I going to be typed anytime in the near future. I've got another job announcement/edit to the Aspen departure video coming up soon of what I will be typed very soo in ;)

[@ryanford8500]

How do you get to pancake restaurant?

[@fdtank81]

Good stuff! 800k plane you should break down and get a OSMO or something to stabilize your videos

[@ColinPrenger]

*$975K. I do have an OSMO, the gyro struggles in the airplane to stay upright.

[@gbigsangle3044]

The G6 new is near $900k loaded (deicing, YD, A/C etc).

[@ColinPrenger]

@@gbigsangle3044 Fully loaded the 22T G6 is $975K

[@stevefarris9433]

All you need is the big bucks!

[@PaulGarthAviation]

Yeah. $100 pancakes...

[@Apollo9733us]

I still prefer my shuttle with transporters, but its kind of nice to see nostalgia of the 21st century...well I am off to the back side of the moon...funny thing is people will read this and think I am kidding...which is fine with me:)

[@mikemorrison377]

JoJo/Clem Kadilihopper I believe you, but you forgot the 1st rule of time travel...

[@Hamsa3600]

yes keep it shut .

[@Assassin1959]

I need friends like you guys just to go out to eat pancakes....

[@moeplasticos8573]

Has anyone flown this airplane trans Atlantic?

[@speedomars]

Sure. You can search on youtube for Cirrus trans-Atlantic flights. They follower the great circle route which crosses into Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scotland and then into Europe.

[@มดดํา-ภ5ต]

ลองคุยกับบริษัทดูอยากจะซื้อสินค้าหรือจากจะมีหุ้นส่วนและบริษัทผมคิดว่าเขาอยากจะลงทุนที่นี่

[@MAGApepe]

3:14 39 gph,,, good lord lol

[@ColinPrenger]

Its quite shocking in the climbs. It burns around 16 gph in the cruise

[@MAGApepe]

@@ColinPrenger i think i like the 8 gph in climb and 4 gph cruise of a da40ng :)

[@edmoore3910]

Lovely sexy airplane. Love it. Love to have one.

[@edmoore3910]

Just wait for an engine failure..see how good all those electronics are to save you..just saying. Technology isn't 100%

[@Colt-Forty5]

Ed Moore If the engine fails they pull the parachute.. That’s what we call technology that solves the problem.

[@JTintheWG]

The background noise, humming, was unbearable. I was very interested in your video, but I could not finish it because of the noise.

[@Firedog105]

If I wake up a lottery winner in the morning I’ll give you a call. If I don’t win ,I’m going to my boss on Monday and demand a raise . I’m gonna tell him I want to live the Cirrus life! If that don’t work I’ll fake my own death 4 times. Once out of prison for insurance fraud I’ll be giving you a call! You sold me! I just happen to be one of your broke viewers lol.

[@ColinPrenger]

Even if you don't win the lottery, and/or you can't buy a Cirrus, you can still rent and enjoy the Cirrus Life! It is just as fun!
