#BoseAviation #CirrusSF50
In this episode, I fly my SF50 Vision Jet from Smyrna, TN (KMQY) to Knoxville, TN (KTYS) for my annual recurrency training and flight check. Come along with me on this 34 minute flight. I'll show you the engine start sequence for the SF50 and you'll hear the turbine spool up during the start process.

[@DonAv8s]

Thank you for watching! It is very fun to fly.

[@davidcribley]

Really liked watching this nice little hop from takeoff to landing at the Cirrus Center. Hope your training went well. Looking forward to more videos :)

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks for watching David! This flight happened last August and it was a great time at Cirrus. They have a way of presenting new challenges every training cycle.

[@michaellucas5859]

Thanks for this! Just got the vision jet in msfs and this is better than tutorial videos haha

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks Michael! I appreciate you watching!!

I don't know anything about mounting cameras in the cockpit. I am hopefully soon the make a decision in favor of a new VJet. I would love to see videos that focus in on the panel that are close enough to see with better clarity of the info and the button pushing. Clearly it's a different process flow and you are no doubt the expert.

[@DonAv8s]

Hi Rick! Thanks for watching!! I have a listing of videos at m.youtube.com/@donav8s/videos. I understand you are interested in more panel shots. There are a spattering of videos on the channel that show different avionics subjects. Here is one of them SF50 Vision Jet - Garmin Perspective Touch Map Elevation Colors (4k Video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGSQm2VjpdKfapY. Thanks for watching! Reach out with any questions. Thanks

Just found your channel. Awesome video! - Can you do a video about the G3000 flight setup? :)

[@DonAv8s]

Thank you for watching! I am glad you found the channel. Can you be more specific about what you would like to see?

[@rrschoeneck]

Terrific camera views!

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks Randy! I appreciate the feedback. The forward visibility of the SF50 makes the camera work a little easier. Thanks for watching!!!

[@majestic51061]

Great video content Don, informative and professional way presenting the capabilities of the Cirrus Vision Jet 💯 Congratulations on a job well done ! Mark McCarthy

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks Mark! Always a pleasure hearing from you.

[@deepbluesea1887]

It would be incredible to work for Cirrus!!!, I just downloaded the G2= on my simulator, which couldn’t possibly compare to actually flying one!!! Your a Lucky Dog!!!

[@DonAv8s]

Cirrus is definitely one of the best companies in aviation. Enjoy flying the SF50 virtually. Thanks for watching!!

[@rahward3852]

Love ya video, keep em comin…

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks for watching! I am glad you like the videos!

[@gatestpilotpaulmsouthwick7012]

Very good clear video. Thanks

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks for watching Paul! I just checked out some of your videos as well. Nice work!!

[@gatestpilotpaulmsouthwick7012]

@@DonAv8s Thanks. I am heading back to Cirrus Knoxville for my third visit over 7-8 years in November for some SF50G2+ and SR22 flying. It is like the center of the world to me.

[@DonAv8s]

@@gatestpilotpaulmsouthwick7012 That is great Paul! I enjoy visiting Cirrus and the energy within the facility. Safe travels and safer flying!

[@Assassin1959]

Great video, I wish the cockpit was a little more clear. Maybe you may want to go to 4K instead, not sure why at 1080 still blurry. Thanks for sharing

[@DonAv8s]

I really don’t have a PC to process and edit in 4k. Maybe some day. I record in 2.7k.

[@MAGApepe]

nice :))

[@Assassin1959]

The 3 days of training is that mandatory or recommended by Cirrus? Also, before you buy any Cirrus, do you have to attend their tng program before you buy?

[@DonAv8s]

The three day is the annual recurrent training to maintain your SF50 type rating. The initial type rating is eight days of training and then a check ride. Cirrus jet training is different from the Cirrus piston aircraft training.

[@dillonfreed]

Awesome video!! And great flying. How far can you fly with a vision jet? Could you do Miami to NYC?

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks for watching. It al depends on the number of passengers and baggage. I can fly two people with bags about 830 miles nonstop with reserve fuel. The plane flys at about 300 miles per hour so after two and a half hours some passengers want to use a restroom anyway. Might as well stop for fuel.

[@ericbuhrendorf]

It seems precarious they would locate the engine start/stop in the area of the Pilot control stick. Its hard to find much wrong with such an awesome plane.

[@DonAv8s]

They are both on the left side of the cockpit but not that close to one another. They have completely unrelated functions. It’s actually not an actual problem if you were to actually see the cockpit layout.

[@MAGApepe]

@@DonAv8s ya i would have put a spring loaded cover over both of them thou ,, cant be too careful

[@DonAv8s]

@@MAGApepe Engine shut down is a two step process. You have to turn a knob and then press a button. Kind of a nonissue really.

[@MAGApepe]

@@DonAv8s not for me,,, i bet i could hit both in flight without even trying lol

[@DonAv8s]

@@MAGApepe Hitting both would not do anything. You would need to turn the know and then press the start stop button. Has never happened.

[@kenbrand8972]

I thought the vision jet had auto throttle

[@DonAv8s]

The Gen 2 SF50 had auto throttle.

[@kenbrand8972]

@@DonAv8s oh do you have gen 1

[@Ebbrush3]

275 KTS = 316 MPH....woohoo

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks! Not too shabby for a single engine jet.
