SF50 Vision Jet Flight Home From Maintenance in Duluth

[@EnabledShooter]

I watch quite a few aviation channels, and I've seen a lot of videos on the vision jet. I think this is the first time I've seen someone actually get in and sit in the pilot seat. That has to be one of the easiest entries to the pilot seat I've ever seen, on any airplane. What a great design.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

It definitely is! I don’t fly the Vision Jet anymore, but that was easily the best part of it.

[@GowthamNatarajanAI]

@@TheRunwayRyan To which aircraft have you moved to and why?

[@TheRunwayRyan]

@@GowthamNatarajanAI I now fly the Citation series aircraft. Several CJ's, and the Citation XL as well. The company I work for moved up to a CJ3+ for better capability than the Vision Jet.

[@mikebsbd]

Thank you for taking us along.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Next time!

[@tonderaigwavava5675]

ryan long time no see or hear - your video clips are great - well filmed and awesome - only 1 serious complaint - we want MORE VIDEOS - PLEASE PLEASE - LOVE YOUR VIDEOS - REALLY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Thank you very much! I have at least one more video that I can release. It will probably come out the first week of August. I also have one more that I'm working on now that I think I will be able to release. The bad news . . . I'm no longer flying Vision jets. The Good news. . . I'm flying something way cooler now. Stay tuned!

[@dabuya]

Great to see you again. Great editing on the intro. Man, who doesn’t like the Vision Jet? That has got to be the roomiest light jet. Looking forward to your next post.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Much appreciated! Glad to be back. As I mentioned in the video, I'm not able to film a whole lot anymore, but I do think I have another video or two that will be coming soon. For a little bit of a teaser, it is no longer in Vision Jets.

[@retiredpaul3448]

So good to see new posts from you Ryan. Hoping there are many more to come.

[@gazzpazzer]

I used to own a SR20. Did the transition training in Duluth, Dec. 2005, just after Angelina Jolie did hers. That was the coldest weather I have ever been in. Love the Cirrus aircraft. I would like to see more of the Vision Jet.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Duluth is definitely cold! Unfortunately I no longer fly the Vision Jet, so no more content from it! Now I’m in several Citations.

So much nicer than bouncing around in an old Piper twin, in solid IMC and nothing but a VOR and radio compass to keep you company 🙂

[@TheRunwayRyan]

That's too wild for me! I like my magenta lines. Despite my age, I actually learned to fly before Garmin released the 430, I can can "really fly" as well. Problem now is that I've been spoiled with all this glass!

[@b3_Media]

so glad youre back bro!!

[@Prestonelmer]

Those windows sure allow the best view!

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Yes, the Vision Jet has great visibility

[@josephdragan7734]

at about 11:30 the pilot mentions "I don't like that at all" while pointing to another airplane. What was the concern?

[@TheRunwayRyan]

It was because ATC had me pass way too close to a heavy 747, in a really bad spot. They should have had use move or go lower to avoid potential wake turbulence

[@torgy3]

I was at KDLH yesterday and the boys are working on a larger version of the jet. Not sure when it’s going to be released though.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

I can't wait to see it. They've been talking about it since I did my type rating 3 years ago. My company still owns another position for a Vision jet, so we may end up with the big one if they increase the performance and capabilities enough.

[@TBomersbach]

A fantastic aircraft and a fantastic pilot. :)

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Thank you!

[@anwerabdallah569]

i love the cirrus vision jet g2 plus its my dream to own one and fly it by myself.

[@samgastro]

Love the video! Curious how you chose to cruise at 190 kt? For fuel efficiency?

[@TheRunwayRyan]

That is the maximum cruise for the Vision Jet. What you are seeing on the panel though is just indicated airspeed. The true airspeed is faster, although still slow for this airplane.

[@dereksellars]

Hello, haven't seen you for a while. Sure could use more videos. Thanks

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Thank you! I'm working on getting a couple more videos out hopefully in the future.

[@yettyburg]

how would you recommend a plane like this, just got a PPL and I am looking for an upgrade for my Cessna 172.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

It is an easy airplane to fly, and it is pretty fun. Other than that however, it is pretty weak. It is VERY limited on what it can carry. It didn't work for my company, so we got something larger. If it is just going to be you and one other person, this plane is pretty good. If you want to carry any more than that, I would look for something else.

[@yettyburg]

thanks, I would mainly be taking my friends and family out on day trips, I have been trying to find a suitable plane for that and from what you have said I think this is the plane for me.

[@anwerabdallah569]

the first time i see the cabin at night

[@brianrivera3974]

Love the vision jet but we gotta get a landing on the same video please

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Ha! You aren't the first to complain about that. I didn't put it in here since it was dark. I think all of my other videos have them though.

aye homie uploaded on my birthday

[@walterlykes9105]

No pilot experience here, was wondering how significant the wake turbulence is with 2000 feet separation. The heavy was moving out smartly across your nose to port so it seemed to me should have vectored you to the right.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Wake turbulence can be significant in the right situations. Being in a small airplane like the Vision Jet passing underneath a 747 is a potential problem. You are also correct, that the vector the controller gave me was bad. I definitely should have been vectored to the right. Furthermore, I should have spoken up and requested that instead once she turned me to the left.

[@kevinwilliams9917]

​@@TheRunwayRyan, a 1,000 feet is standard separation in the terminal environment. But if you were concerned, you should have asked for a deviation to the right or a descent, etc

[@TheRunwayRyan]

@@kevinwilliams9917 If you see in the video, I did ask for a deviation. She unfortunately turned me in the worst direction. You are correct though, I should have been more specific about exactly what I wanted, or spoke up more once she turned me to the left.

Cool video man, what do you do to be able to fly these airplanes?

Thank you! I am a professional pilot. Usually I cannot film at my primary job, so most of these videos are filmed doing contract jobs or while flying my friend's airplanes to help them out.

[@skhalid6597]

@@TheRunwayRyan could you please make a video on how you started and your journey to where you are?

[@TheRunwayRyan]

@@skhalid6597 I've been thinking about doing one of those! It might be just a little bit down the road when I get some more subscribers, but it will be coming at some point.

[@Spanikopita]

While it’s a pretty neat looking aircraft, this “jet” might as well be a P46T, in my opinion. When I was feeding one of the other sectors a line of jets from my airspace with an SF50 in the middle of the line, I instructed the aircraft to maintain 250kts and the pilot protested, “we can only maybe maintain 235kts”. You’ve basically got yourself a $2.5 million turboprop with small turbofan that goes “WOOSH”

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Ya, it's really a turboprop as far as performance goes. That's exactly why at my primary job we only had it for 4 months.

[@dougshreiner1564]

Nice kite! I want one!

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Not a bad ride, that's for sure!

[@killghosthegamer]

Nice bro😁

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Thank you!

[@richardacuff4881]

I might not have caught it all, but I'm not a fan of how the wake turbulence threat was addressed. The nature of wake turbulence makes it safest to cross at 90 degrees to the path of the heavy aircraft. Additionally, the further away from the generating aircraft you are, the weaker the turbulence. So, by turning TOWARDS the heavy, the pilot seems to put himself at higher, not lower risk. Other options were to turn away from the heavy instead of towards it, but that still isn't good. Doing a right 360 would have been better. Climbing to the altitude of the heavy would have been even better. But heading straight through would have been better than following. Just some other thoughts.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

I completely agree, it was a really bad vector from ATC, and I should have said something.

[@firepro329]

Just curious, you add that call sign on your flight plan ??? And, do you usually use numbers from a N number ??

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Correct, this callsign is filed just like you would a tail number. In this case, I use the callsign so that I don't have to say the aircraft's tail number on this video. This allows for some privacy for the aircraft owner.

[@scpowered]

@@TheRunwayRyan correct me if I am wrong but not just anyone can use a call sign like that. You need to have approval, correct?

[@TheRunwayRyan]

@@scpowered correct. You have to obtain the call sign froM an authorized source, such as Foreflight or Flightplan.com.

Is it kinda scary flying by yourself in the dark like am I moving still or anything like that. I know you have all the instruments to help but just the idea of staring out a pitch black window

@@TheRunwayRyan Great to hear!

[@Romanellochw]

That 747 was not cool. If they knew it would cross you shouldn't they have dropped you 1 or 2k feet and turned you before it crossed? If they dropped you 2000 ft 4 min before you'd cross almost 1 mile under it and that's much safer. Awesome video. This is my dream plane.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

I completely agree! Way to tell me about it last minute!

[@brokenlegend629]

Hi Bro Can I Fly A Private Jet With PPL

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Yes actually, you can. You would have to also have an instrument rating, and the type rating for the specific jet.

[@jamesculver605]

Enjoy your videos but this one had too much background noise from a tower talking to ground traffic

[@TheRunwayRyan]

If you’re so concerned with privacy why make a video and post on the most unsecured video hosting platform? Block call sign blurred tail number?!?! I don’t get logic. Not that I care either way but your editing to make sure you’re private ruined vid for me!

[@TheRunwayRyan]

I appreciate your comment, and I’m bummed to hear that it ruined the video for you. Unfortunately I don’t own these airplanes, I simply fly them for the owners. Because of that, I have to respect the owners wishes for privacy and edit out certain telltale signs. I still enjoy making these videos, and I learned a lot from videos like this when I was coming up. I’m hoping to help others the same way. Specifically, I never thought there were good videos operating in the IFR environment. If you like these videos, I encourage you to come back in a couple weeks. I have one coming out that is not redacted, because the owners are ok with it.

[@bkrone2]

Those blurred images didn’t do anything to ruin a video. Weird comment.

[@jpp0901]

@@TheRunwayRyan I can appreciate that and perhaps I didn’t catch that in your vid. I could tell where each cut was made where it was spliced and that’s what I referred to. To see an airplane there and then not there or a clearance halfway just ruined it for me in that aspect. But if you fly for other folks then I can see where privacy can be an issue. I’ll rewatch with different perspective! Thanks for the response and for not taking it personal! Re-reading my comment I could have addressed it differently! Apologies!

[@TheRunwayRyan]

@@jpp0901 no need to apologize! I ask in each video for suggestions, that means some that I may not want to hear as well! I’m getting pretty close to releasing another video filmed in a similar fashion. I’m once again using the “Foreflight 471” callsign and blurring out the tail number badge on the instrument panel. This time however, I did not include any exterior footage of the airplane. I have a video coming out in about 2 more weeks that is not edited in a way to hide the tail number, so hang in there!
