Beautiful Airplane! The SR22T is an amazing aircraft to fly. Enjoyed the video.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks a lot Steveo! I really enjoyed seeing you fly the Cirrus out in America. I’ve never flown out there but it does look an amazing place to fly!! Keep your videos coming, love them.

[@chrischapman1470]

@@PlaneOldBen I'm based in Nottingham what's the best flight training school would you recommend?

[@kaizen9451]

Nice to see you here Steveo!

[@-IsleOfSkye-]

@@PlaneOldBen does cirrus planes and vision jet got tcas?? Or other anti collision features?? Regards

[@benntertainment4063]

Hey Ben. Love your work. In fact after watching you, Nikos wings and Steveo flying the Cirrus i decided to lash out and buy one. A 2018 Cirrus SR 22GTS carbon Will be here in Australia in September. Looking forward to showing you around Australia with some VLOGS,

[@ThePilotWhoCantFly]

You got that aircraft yet :)

[@shaunw9351]

Hi Benntertainment 40 Another Aussie here in the market. How did you go, have you taken delivery?

[@lopflyer6330]

I very much enjoyed that trip! Gorgeous plane and a very professional Cirrus instructor. It’s good to see that at least some people in Europe cruise at a proper power setting of 85% and not at a pathetic 65%! :)

[@PlaneOldBen]

We always fly on 30.5 manifold pressure, throttling back is boring!

[@craigpennington1251]

What a superb aircraft. A real far cry form the Cessna 150 and 172s I used to fly years ago. Outstanding flight and video of it. Thanks so much for sharing it.

[@mikep4821]

Sadly I had to give up my G3 SR22 GTS due to failing eyesight but now I can enjoy flying virtually and "keep current" on here, love the G6 and phone app, great new features.

[@Aviation101]

Awesome stuff! Beautiful airplane!

[@PlaneOldBen]

MrAviation101 Cheers Josh, it’s an absolute pleasure to fly!

[@davidhorobin1060]

Superb Ben Thank you. Makes a change from a PA28 (!) I had a test flight, with Philippe, in a similar SR22T a few months ago and yes, it’s fantastic. These flights of yours are the best marketing he could have - real world flying, not sales videos. Well done.

[@PlaneOldBen]

He’s a legend, hope you enjoyed your test flight!

[@johanmalmquist7826]

Great video! I'm so jealous of you flying that Cirrus. That's my big dream to fly (and own) a SR22T.

[@PlaneOldBen]

You’ve got to get flying in a Cirrus you’ll love it!

[@albak5495]

Awesome! It's amazing to see all the technology there is available nowadays even for small planes.. hopefully getting cheaper some day soon haha

[@thomaswenger5036]

Nice to see that video flying into "my" airport here in Berne (LSZB). My home is located in the right hand base for runway 32... ;-)

[@Bulletguy07]

@Thomas Wenger My ex-wife is from Bern so i spent many times in Switzerland. I once went to an airshow at Bern-Belp and had a free flight in a small jet over the Alps! A pity when these guys flew into Bern the weather was not so good as you will know Switzerland often gets clear blue skies. My most memorable time was spending the day at Kleine Scheidegg relaxing outside a restaurant watching climbers on the Eiger! You live in a very beautiful country.

[@BumHaven]

Nicely done! As a pilot in training in rainy Seattle its great to see some videos with significant cross country flying IFR.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks a lot, good luck with all your training!

[@simondearing7408]

What a great video. Very interesting and showed off the wealth of features the Cirrus has.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks a lot, Simon!

[@luizcesarbuchmannduleba1954]

Very Nice edition of the trip showing takes about what's going on with the plane and its systens...congratulation from Brazil

[@EuroAviators]

Great IFR approach into Berne and very well done video! It's such a shame you didn't see almost anything of the Alps this time, but that's how the weather in the northern Alps often looks like. The advantage of the airport is the fact, that it is outside of the higher mountains, which makes conditions a lot easier.

[@robertyoung3003]

Again, another great video by and Ben and the team. I really enjoyed having the features of Cirrus glass cockpit explained. Well done!

[@PlaneOldBen]

I love the new Perspective it works great - thanks for watching!

[@danielmercado5570]

Muy lindo cirrus una makina el Cirrus dejo atrás a muchos aviones antiguos y ahora el Cirrus el número one en todo!!!

Only just came across these vlogs, I have subscribed! Excellent video, looking forward to more in the future. Thanks.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you!

[@tradjazzer]

thanks for the awesome video, great views. So you started at Biggin Hill. I used to live in Lewisham, south east London when I was young and used to go out on my Triumph Tiger 100 motorbike and went out to the Kent area a lot. Now I am 79, divorced and only have a car, which is 21 years old, 186500 miles on clock

[@easyJetAirbus]

The speed with which you managed to upload the flight plan was something else!

[@stevensteve3671]

Nice one Ben. Great job all round! Already looking forward to the next video and good luck with the instrument rating. Steven.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you, Steven!

[@itzajdmting]

Awesome vlog Ben. What an aircraft! Looked like fun.

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Stumbled across your video and channel from a general interest in aviation though I have never learned. Excellent video, really engrossing and informative, thanks for sharing this for all us would be pilots. A

[@ronnyjonckers]

Very nice flight Ben. Niceley done. I love the Cirrus SR22!

[@hosegooseman5]

Very nice flight and video. Thanks !!!

[@DM-hd4xm]

Super aircraft and technology, are the check lists displayed on the MFD, or memorized?

[@muratoztrgt7625]

So funny. Even without the SR22, I will have a plane someday.

[@TheRealChetManley]

Awesome flight! That airplane is sweet.

[@jameswikstrom4174]

Very nice flight. You seem to be doing very well in your transition from the Cirrus 20 to the 22. It appears that Cirrus has made some enhancements to the flight panel which should make your job a little easier. Great job with the ILS to landing. Radio communication was excellent! I expect to see you in the Vision Jet in a few years. I have watched videos and it is an exceptional single pilot airplane!

[@gareth758]

Love the Ryanair intro music, that tune is engrained in my head!!

[@kenlynch6332]

Super Vlog and an excellent "sales tool" for Cirrus and the capabilities of it's current 'glass cockpit. Thorough info / instruction from Phillippe

Beutiful airplane, the tech and user interface is amazing. What about engine failure in the middle of the English channel? Is it in gliding distance to land?

Cool seeing a single prop craft in the flight levels

[@gummel82]

Beautiful flight! Really enjoyed it, seen you land in my home town

[@peanuts2105]

I believe the word 'awesome' is over used but that aircraft and flight certainly fits the bill. This is the stuff of dreams Ben. More power to you.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks for watching, it was a great flight!

[@garydell2023]

Great flight Ben. What plane do you prefer, the SR22 or the PA28? I've been to Switzerland and to Wengen. Course it was with an airline and train. Really appreciate your videos Ben. Thank you. Fly safe.

[@janwbol]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@dalehersh296]

Very nice flight. One question regarding approach. I never saw the LOC or GS armed (no annunciation in white on the PFD), yet they were green at the proper time. Also I never heard you say that u pushed the APP button. Is there something different with the G6 or was it just edited out.

[@anthonybryantmedia]

Loved it Ben. Niceley done. I so love that Cirrus!

[@d-32]

Great video! A shame you didn't see Bern & the alps it in good weather. How long did it take & what cruise speed did you have on avg?

[@winiar123]

Awesome video, great plane! I subscribed

[@jaredcoleman5376]

What a great machine

[@Epifani_Days]

Thank you very much for this nice video😊👌

[@rbradominican]

As i was thinking. Great plane and pilots, but in busy airspace, better to use autopilot and then do the knobs and touching when using autopilot so you can pay more attention to all the other stuff. This pilot is a sharp one. Wish you the best.

[@REBooner30]

Great video. Had no idea cruise power setting was so high in the SR22 (84%).

[@rnordquest]

In the initial climb it was 115%

[@austinformedude]

If only I had 3/4 of a Million. :) That is one EXPENSIVE SEL plane!

[@jms241965]

one million

[@sebastianfischer429]

Is it possible to cross the Atlantic ocean with it (with a stopover in Greenland)? By the way, beautiful aircraft!

[@vanallen9453]

...just watch a couple of older videos. featuring Greg..the Premiere 1 Driver...flying and ferrying .. one or two.. of these Beautiful British Beech Premiere 1 Jets.. Way Across Europe..Over the Pond ..through Scotland. and Greenland..to the USA..

[@Backtrack]

Great plane ! Everything's just great !

[@davidhorobin1060]

Ben If I may please:- Is that a Garmin Glo (GPS receiver) on the shelf under the MFD? If so, why? - for someone’s iPad? And do you find the Cirrus seat rather hard (or is it just me)? Best of luck with the IR - it’s a tough test flight but you’ll ace it. David

[@TheBarnem13]

Love it Can't wait for your next trip

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you!

[@randyparsons3188]

I like the plane but it should have auto mixture and no need to switch fuel tanks for the price they are charging. Also doesn't it require fuel boost before switching tanks? Not a big deal but I think planes should be getting simpler to use.

[@tobifeldi1992]

Thanks for the great KZbin Video

[@Salim-pt4tj]

Very nice video Cr22 is very nice aircraft. I would like to do the rating of this aircraft but I don’t know the best place to do Sr rating thanks

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Well done Ben. Great work there!

[@PlaneOldBen]

The Flying Reporter thanks for the Report!

[@paulwhitear4983]

I've heard minimums a lot. What does it mean please. Always enjoy your videos.

[@lebojay]

@Paul Whitear in poor weather, depending on the combination of airport and the equipment in your aircraft, there is a minimum altitude below which you are not allowed to descend unless you can see the runway. The combination of airport and equipment gives our pilots a minimum of 2170 feet. That means if they descend to 2170 feet for landing and still can’t see the runway because of weather, they’re not allowed to descend any further. They have to abort the landing and either wait for the weather to improve or go land somewhere else. That “somewhere else” is called the “alternate,” and the pilot would have chosen his alternate before he even takes off so that there is no planning necessary if he discovers he can’t land at his destination. The plans are already made and he just executes them. 2170 Is very high for a minimum, generally. We are in mountainous country here, and we see at 36:00 that an altitude of 2170 is just a few hundred feet above the ground. Often the cockpit instrumentation will call out “minimum” at that altitude as a reminder. Pilots sometimes call it “decision height.” At 22:05 our pilots here program the computer to make this callout at the correct altitude. The computer dutifully makes the callout at 35:54. Between those two times, at 34:52, they call “runway in sight,” to establish explicitly that the criterion for continuing the landing has been met and the descent can continue. All of this applies only to flying in poor weather. There’s a whole other set of rules for clear weather. Google IFR vs. VFR for more info.

Great video thanks for posting

[@PILOTCIRRUSASIA]

Great video.. I grew up 5miles from Biggin and never really flown in Europe .. I have a 2018 SR22 G6 based in Singapore so we have a world for permits and some long water crossings at timme.

What was going on with the guys and the car around 4:08?

[@thomasdalton1508]

How long were you up at FL110 (I think you even said were at FL120 at one point)? You're only allowed 30 minutes at that altitude without oxygen, right?

[@PlaneOldBen]

In an N-Reg Aircraft you’re able to cruise at FL120 without oxygen.

[@thomasdalton1508]

Thanks for the quick reply! I didn't realise rules like that depend on the registry rather than the airspace you are in.

[@micomarinas2753]
