First Solo Flight in the Cirrus SR20! Flying the Cirrus Across Texas

We went for a flight in the Cirrus SR20 across Texas, and I encountered my latest Texas Problem - avoiding turtles on the taxiway!

I wonder if that turtle had to go home & change it's shell after that close call. lol

[@FlyWithNoelPhilips]

It's OK, he worked for the refuelling company (Shell). I'll see myself out.

[@shdhd07]

Love the OV-1 Mohawk sitting behind the Embraer.

[@davidisaacson9543]

Your radio communications are excellent. Time to get that multi engine rating.

[@MeatandTatersGaming54]

A good firm landing, it was nicely done in that cross wind

[@olimcclean]

Great video. US Flying is something else!

[@TimS57064]

Very cool to see you 2 in a much updated plane. Appears like you could use a tad bit more leg room though. LOL

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Awesome video Noel! Are you Cirrus SR-20 certified now? If so huge congratulations 🎉🎈 I know you’ll be a Cirrus-ly good pilot! 😂 😑 That joke is so good I heard it the other day feel free to use it… Also since you live in the USA 🇺🇸 now will you be attending the Oshkosh Expo this year? Also at 14:52 that’s one sad Beechcraft V-tail Bonanza I recon it’s a J-35 Bonanza. 😬

What business is rach relaunching? Gosh, 6am is early pick up to get to school for Sam - I hated the 7am pick up for my schoo; bus pick up! Good on him for doing it!

[@airfoxtrot2006]

Great video Noel, does Sam not fly with you as much now? He would enjoy the cirrus!

[@dave4shmups]

Wonderful video Noel! Thanks for sharing this trip! I know a physical therapist who owns a Cirrus SR22. Is it harder to fly with the side stick then it is with airplanes that have a yoke?

[@sebinamuwanga]

Thanks for the upload, Noel. Looking forward to watching videos of your IFR training

[@timbacchus]

Thought you were going to taxi all the way there. Boy that runway sure looked thin not very wide.

[@apatel8t3]

Hey Noel. Good to have you in Texas! I’m originally from the UK myself(Coventry). moved to Houston when I was young. Btw I found a fish and chips place that is just as good as the Uk! It’s called the chipper, in katy. Look it up! And keep up the great videos.

[@michelcalloch9875]

Hello captain Noel very good view you trip the best See you good weekend

[@tkdfeet]

What a long landing and a bit firm

[@brianjrichman]

Noel, the town is called pronounced "Booda" (as in the eastern god), not Beuddda. They are famed for the annual Dachshund races held there.

[@highs_and_lows4665]

Airliners also tend to firm up on landings in heavy rain to reduce the risk of aqua planing

[@ralphal.8398]

You should visit the commemorative air force at the airport in San Marcus several WW2 aircraft including a b25 and a c47 that took part in the DDay landings. They allowed me to get into the cockpit because one of my favorite movies was 30 seconds over tokyo. They also have one of the zeros that was used in the filming of Tora Tora Tora and pearl harbor.

[@bobuncle8704]

Nice flight Noel, despite the firm landing😉 Any chance of an in depth tour of Flying Eyes?

[@TeaBreak.]

There was a small bounce. Was landing too firm? Scott Manley maybe watching 😁. Cirrus is nice. What's next, a twin prop Seneca?

[@theEagleBeagle]

TOD... Turtle Object Debris?

[@phyllislowry6265]

Your wife went with you today! I hope she enjoyed her flight in the Cirrus! I am just so confused by all of the radio talk & I just don't know how you locate your destination! I would have to stop & ask for directions! 😄😄😄😄

[@louisthetravelspotter]

greatvideo noel

[@PracticallyAviation]

Cirrus or Piper Noel? That side stick looks so awkward on the Cirrus but yeah which do you prefer overall? Great video as always, thank you.

[@jonclassical2024]

So glad you are enjoying DWH...I lived 8 miles from it 2019-2020.....now at KRDU...we keep missing each other...so now that you have been here a while...which do you like best QKR or DWH?

[@sharonhumphrey1452]

Are your children in school in Texas??

[@brianjrichman]

Noel, here in America we don't call them "Estates" (as in an English 'council estate' and all the negative connotations that can bring), we call them "Sub-Divisions".

[@stevejones6174]

Estate sounds way better if you ask me. I hate telling people I live in a subdivision lol. Estate sounds royal and with pride. Subdivision is the house version of an office cubicle 😂

[@brianjrichman]

@@stevejones6174 Estate works when you have 100's of acres to wander about in. In the UK, we have "Council Estates" which here in the USA are like "The Projects"...

[@davidmalyan1480]

What style Flying eyes do you wear? Great channels btw 😎

[@MrAlwaysBlue]

How do US airfields balance the books without landing fees?

[@billygeorgepricespackland]

Have you completed your training with the Cirrus that you were doing now! Your take off and landings have improved since watching you train on that type of plane what is the biggest change between this plane and the cesnas you flew in the past

[@prettymiffedbrit]

I take it you are aiming for jet ratings?

[@CallieMasters5000]

With more than 220 shops and 20 restaurants, San Marcos has the biggest outlet shopping center in the United States.

[@highs_and_lows4665]

If that's not a reason to visit, I don't know what is!😂

[@bradleybratten4436]

Was it difficult transferring your pilot certificate from the UK to the US?

[@noelphilips]

You can hear me explain it, in this interview I did kzbin.info/www/bejne/anWnk5Wri7llgtk

[@n1msu]

This old timer (not you Noel) is an accident waiting to happen. Not being familiar with an airport is totally fine, but Harrison Ford has nothing on this guy. There I am in England moaning about the geriatrics on the road; with many not even driving for however long because of COVID; they're a menace is most cases on the road! In the air however; another issue; perhaps worried citizens could share their concerns with the FAA about this old timer who thinks it's ok to be unfamiliar with a new airport because ATC have nothing better to do etc.

[@Dominicabbate1]

Why are your legs always closed together like that bro surely that can’t be safe

[@Dominicabbate1]

Invest in a kneeboard bro
