Short personal clips of flying the Cirrus Aircraft SF50 Vision Jet

Back in May 2021 I was lucky enough to go through Vision Jet type training. It was a lot of fun. It’s been really exciting to personally learn new things in aviation. The reward and “treat” of the training was the mentor trip that we went on. It was 25 hours of flying around and picking some fun places on the map. We flew all the way from TYS - OWB - MKC - ABQ - HND - SBA - SMO - CRQ - PSP - SMO - SBA - TEX - PUB - PWK - TYS. It was an incredible trip.
I thought I’d take some of the clips I filmed and share them with you. They are just put together randomly in no particular order. You can jump around as you’d like!
Please enjoy and leave a comment on anything you feel you want to learn more about! I’ll try and grab a video of it next time I am up!

You are living the dream, you know that right! Al, thank you for not adding music to your videos! I want to hear the Cirrus talk to me! LOL

[@davidmangold1838]

Very cool! At 10:58 mark, I notice you’re starting up and doing the after start checklist. I see that you did it as a step by step DO list! May I suggest for all regimes of flying, you develop flow patterns to DO things, then you use your checklist, to check that you did everything. Always something to learn👍🏻. Dave, 53 years flying, 40 years airline B767 etc. and 28,000 accident free hours🙏🏻

Thanks for sharing Al. Hope to see you in Tuscon for Converge. I'm ready to take the type rating very soon...Tom

[@rfriesen1644]

Just fantastic. Well done Al.

[@g.3046]

I like that you get close to the screens with the camera. Thanks for the video.

[@mrpenguin4288]

Beautiful scenery and jet. Thanks for sharing!

[@robertstrand6036]

Excellent video and also I like hearing the surrounding sounds rather than music. Beautiful jet and very impressive. Great job!

[@SauloMogi]

Beautiful!!! Living the dream pal, enjoy it!

To prevent misunderstandings, I like the CJ. But that is the main problem with the CJ, only going up to 31.000feet. Weather is getting challenging more and more. And you need 39.000 feet in a jet like this. That would hit the nail. Besides that awesome unique jet.

Looking good Big AL! Great video. Glad to see you out doing what you love in a cool machine!

[@cocochanel9291]

Love this video. And love the Cirrus Vision.

[@tombuckley91]

That lightning @ 1:52 would have me feeling sketchhhhh

[@wrphelan]

One of my favorite videos...

[@philipgledhill7227]

I Alan hope you are well. What a awesome flight them clouds looked awesome with the lighting.the radar what a brilliant piece of technology just stick to the green you are doing fine phil. Do you ever think they will bring a vision jet out that will take off from a standstill position that would be awesome phil.

No one understands

[@theresasrangerdaddy]

What a great idea for a video! Love it!

[@pvuspotter]

Love your videos! Someday, I’ll have a Vision jet!

[@JR-ig4wm]

Dude why are you NOT showing landings and take offs?

[@flymatt1968]

Ok, definitely want a ride in SF50

[@johnbender6042]

I love your videos. I just saw the scorecard video for the SR22T. I fly one too and was wondering if you could go over the VNAV and it’s applications. I’m instrument rated but have trouble sometimes figuring out VNAV. Thanks!

[@charlesbeilman7077]

Build it, Button it, Bug it. Create your VNav and be sure to press Create (Build). Dial in the altitude (Bug it). Press the VNAV button (button it).

For those of you who can't afford to fly a Vision Jet like me - pick it up in Microsoft Flight Simulator and enjoy! It's an awesome aircraft. I love to fly it through the virtual skies in Virtual Reality. Many gretings from Germany,🙋

[@ronstowe8898]

Is 37% thrust, normal cruise?

[@avfan967]

Nice compilation Al!! Noteworthy: Al says “this is cool” 57 times. LOL, just kidding Al, maybe it was 27. Safe flying!

[@LtNomad304]

One of these crashed about 20 miles from me today. At least everyone survived though the jet turned into a fireball.

[@NavySturmGewehr]

Can the rail system for the seats be used to mount different things? For example, could someone have some nice tie downs so a dog carrier could be anchor, or other cargo? Could a person buy different seats and alter the configuration of their vision jet according to the needs of that trip? ie take out the executive seats and put in the full set, or remove all the seats and just carry cargo?

[@wernerdanler2742]

I loved the visuals but my God, what a noisy plane! I have seen other videos in these planes and they were not near this loud.

[@cuetheplanesound8110]

Great Video Al

[@anwerabdallah569]

its my dream first thing is a passport second dream is this aircraft. wish i own one and be trained to fly it.

[@deepbluesea1887]

Please do in-depth interior.

[@andreinarangel6227]

[@mdeditz313]

[@drblank6286]

[@dareltarbuk1332]

[@IanHoyt]

[@user-jm9ep3zp5g]

[@jonathanhellberg3732]

I'm a little bit jelly...

[@MAGApepe]

[@PRGuanica]

Did any one notice the UFO?

[@danwaterloo3549]

Hey Al, that’s a pretty fancy machine! Looks like fun!

[@bigheadass23]

Would you be so kind and upload/create a video from the perspective of a passenger from the furthest rear seat? Thank you in advance! Congrats on your Vision Jet!
