Preparing for a winter flight in a brand new Cirrus Aircraft SR22

Finally the TKS saga has come to an end! The last piece of the puzzle was a wagon and the TKS transfer tank/pump. Now that this is all put together check it all out. I am prepping for a winter flight to northern Wisconsin. Its going to be snowy up there so its time to put the TKS systems to the test in the hangar!
Check out the links below for all items I used incase you want to get them for your hangar as well!

The jug and pump Al recommends requires an adapter if you purchase everything from Al's links on Amazon. Here's a link to the adapter. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019NOEDK6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Love watching your videos Al. I'm a Cirrus owner here in Santa Monica and I recently got a refresher course in how to handle the hot start through one of your videos. Very helpful. Keep em coming. Cheers-Ren

[@al.waterloo]

Hi Ren! I am a huge fan of yours as well! Feeling inspired by you! Thanks so much for watching. Keep your videos going, they are AWESOME! Al

[@TheRenBaron]

@@al.waterloo Thanks Al. The feeling is mutual. I'm going to be flying next week with a couple of your buds, Ed Watters and Chuck Cali in Vegas. And we might make it to the golf course too. Stay warm. Cheers-Ren

Nice Vid! My home airport. That building behind you, next to Hawthorne, is where it all started for me!

[@bobrkh1780]

Thanks for sharing, all your set up including a perfectly great hanger not being used.

[@joelmayo9763]

Nice set up!

[@al.waterloo]

Glad you think so Joel!

Philip says that's a lot better for you buddy have a good flight buddy. Hope you had a brilliant Christmas. Happy new year to you and your staff. And good luck for 2021phil.

[@al.waterloo]

Happy new year! Thank you Philip!

[@thepumpdoctor1]

Thanks for doing these videos Al. Also nice to bump into you yesterday in Sturgeon Bay. Andrew

[@al.waterloo]

Any time! So fun to bump in to you too! Glad the new engine is broken in!

[@n6315x]

hi whats the name of the electric pump you used to top up your tks thanks i would like to buy one

[@al.waterloo]

It should be in the description of the video...

[@FlyingwithBigErn]

Good prep video Al. It would have been nice to see you fly that trip and see how you employed the TKS and negotiated the weather. I’m a desert flyer but have a trip to Grand Forks in a couple of weeks. Go Pros in future videos maybe???? Cheers!

[@al.waterloo]

Good idea! I was thinking about that and it could be useful to see it. I did take a few pictures and small videos. I'll see if i can set something up for this or future flights. I can see how this would be valuable. Interesting bit is that I had zero icing on that flight! Never touched the TKS system.

[@usahome]

Great energy in these videos, Al! Thanks for posting, I can never get enough new Cirrus videos! Happy New Year! 🎊

[@al.waterloo]

Glad you like them! Thank you Chris! Appreciate you always watching and commenting. Its awesome and meaningful to me!

[@f-16guy30]

Glad to see you found a very workable solution to the TKS issue !!

[@al.waterloo]

Finally! Never thought it would take so long hahah!

[@steveantson9608]

How much TKS fluid to you buy at a time? How much is it? How long does 55 gal last you?

[@rogerhummel3023]

I’d like to wish you a happy new year as well. I’m not even a pilot as of yet, but I like all your tips and tricks, especially on how you choose to maintain and clean your Cirrus. I’d like to meet you at some point if you ever make it out to New Jersey, specifically Princeton. There actually is a small airport in Princeton with a Cirrus training school. Please keep the information flying. . . . lol

[@speedomars]

Remember, you have to run the TKS fluid thru the wings monthly. Do it while flying because on the ground the fluid makes a major mess and the system does not run as efficiently. While flying make sure the fluid streaks out along the ENTIRE wing, from root to tip. Takes about 10 minutes in the air.

[@al.waterloo]

Good tip and reminder! Always good to run it in the air, I prefer that too!

[@robmiller9389]

I watch this annually to refresh. Can you show how you use the garden sprayer and the spray bottle? Are those to put a preventative layer of TKS on before taxi? I am always worried about that tiny bit of condensation that forms on the wings on a cold morning.

[@markschussler567]

Hey Al, love the videos, where did you get the pump and jug? Thank you !!!

[@rdakessian]

By minute 5:02 i was ready to go pee. ;) lol

[@Joesofly1]

Ha!

[@al.waterloo]

Hahaha!

[@GeorgeGal]

Al, I ordered the items from your link and the mouth of the container I got was about 4” or so and none of the attachments that came with the pump fit on that. Was there anything else you ordered in order to get it mounted on?

[@Joesofly1]

Great content Al, I’m learning a lot! Your channel will be a big help when I buy a Cirrus one day👍👍

[@al.waterloo]

Great to hear! So nice to hear you are leaning awesome things! You'll get to buy your dream Cirrus! I know it!
