The best Cirrus video I've ever seen. I hadn't realised just how well they had integrated the systems. One input sysyem for radio, altimeter checklust etc.

[@maesc2001]

The whistles and bells you guys have compared to what we had in the 90’s and 00’s on our 182’s and 210’s is incredible. GA more and more looking like the airlines: positive rate, gear up and autopilot on…

[@SlowAsianDriver]

While technology is providing great situation awareness, it’s also making some pilots to lose stick and rudder skills. That’s why I still love to hand fly :)

Man it reminds me of flying with my friends to dinner at Scottsdale and coming back in Scottsdale at night over the huge Valley of the Sun Phoenix with the lights as far as you can see. Sometimes it would be dead calm and we just fly right over the runway midfield after 9 o’clock and the tower was closed hang out left which would put us on a left downwind for runway three Scottsdale. Those nights I was flying diamond star DA 40 witch had incredible visibility. Double canopy that came almost all the way down to your waist. Had a stick instead of a yoke which I loved and a G1000 set up.

@@SlowAsianDriver Not at all! Many of the things you do in the cockpit are what I have been teaching them (they are primary) - and we fly in a Cirrus SR20-G6 which has the exact same colors as the one in the flight. Really excellent demonstration of radio skills, IFR technique, safety, checklists, landing, etc. Not only is your video a great example for them, but it also shows how fun it can be to have the freedom to fly somewhere like that with friends. Atlantic city is a perfect airport for our cross-country flights, so we'll have to do something like that. I'll need to remember that restaurant.

[@LWJCarroll]

Interesting thanks, control check you didn’t actually look at ailerons etc, I was trained too do so…? Laurie NZ.

[@SlowAsianDriver]

We do too. Both pre flight and pre take off we physically inspect aileron attachment, counter weight and make sure it movement is free and clear. I may have already did it and was just checking off the digital checklist.

[@LWJCarroll]

@@SlowAsianDriver Hi, yes I understand the preflight physical check but I think the idea of looking when moving the controls in the cockpit meant I was seeing if I had full range on control surface movement and in the right directions. You could have a partial jam on either side etc which the walk around check doesn’t pick up. Then its not until near or at lift off that you find out there is a problem. I have found in another area related to flying that these safety habits do pay off. I would rather see your flying channel continue thanks and not be a statistic. Best Regards. Laurie

[@LWJCarroll]

@@SlowAsianDriver fyi I once forgot to set take off flaps on the Cardinal RG I was piloting and didn’t notice until during the take off run and cant recall now if I carried on for a no flap takeoff or popped them down. 3 POB btw…I hadn’t done the pre take off check methodically as I recall…
