5 Years of the Cirrus Life-Part 1

It's been almost 5 years since I started flying our Cirrus SR22T G6 and along the way I've met some amazing people. Today I'm flying with two of my favorites, Cirrus Aircraft alums Al Waterloo and Sarah Talucci. Along the way I learn a couple of new tips and share a great conversation about flying. Come along for the ride!

Nice job, I am 25 year major airline pilot and you run a great flight deck. Love the way you continue to learn and set your high standards for yourself. Very professional.

[@TheRenBaron]

Much appreciated! Really! Cheers-Ren

[@briansims4365]

Wow, AL and the Ren baron in the same plane! What a treat!

[@TheRenBaron]

Who'd a thunk it? Flying with Al and Sara was a blast. Thanks for watching. Cheers-Ren

[@Shaneepe1]

Thanks for taking us along Ren and thanks for sharing your story. We learn so much from you!

[@TheRenBaron]

My pleasure Shane! Thanks for posting. Cheers-Ren

I Loved You introducing the idea of more airplane and pilot. I don't think I will ever have that problem unfortunately, but I think there's a lot of folks out there that are able to write checks that their pilot behind can't cash. Thanks for doing what you.

[@TheRenBaron]

Thanks Russ. Cheers-Ren

Great running into you, Al and Sarah at PRB!

[@TheRenBaron]

Yeah that was fun. Nice meeting you two as well. Cheers-Ren

5 years! Wow, and to think I've been hanging around here much of that time too! P.s. I'll be down in your next of the woods this weekend, but not sure I will have much free time. We will see.

Are you flying down?

Busy departure - well done

[@TheRenBaron]

Thanks Bill.

Love your stuff! I love your CFI friends. (noticed you flying 125 on the downwind and making the base turn at 117 😇). By the way, thank you for influencing me to buy the Real SIM Cirrus Cockpit. It's quite something!

[@dsinha99]

@@TheRenBaron Thanks Ren.. wasn’t speed shaming you. I just got a 22T couple of months ago and my CSIP has been chewing my ears about speed management. Palo Alto’s as complex as KSMO, and I’m all over the place with my speed and power settings. By the way, I got my 22 primarily to visit my son who live in Marina Del Rey, so I’ll be doing a lot of KSMO landings, hopefully soon.

[@TheRenBaron]

@@dsinha99 Your CSIP is absolutely correct about controlling your speed. That SR22T wants to run fast and you gotta keep her on a short leash if you want to make smooth, stable approaches. Those are precisely the things you should be practicing on your RSG Cirrus cockpit!

[@TheRenBaron]

PS-I've flown into Palo Alto (more Cirrus planes per square foot than any place on earth...that's not the Cirrus Factory) and you don't have alot of runway so you need to be precise. Thanks for posting. Cheers-Ren

Wonderful love our non turbo 😊

[@TheRenBaron]

Awesome. Where do you live? Lots of mountains out west so the turbo comes in very handy around here.

@@TheRenBaron we fly out of c83 near our home Discovery Bay ca. with full fuel and at max gross wt the big IO 550 has no problem putting us over the sierras. 😊

[@jphayes786]

You’re so famous. Nice video!

[@TheRenBaron]

Yeah but not as cool as having my name on a big tour bag. How you doing?-Ren

[@jphayes786]

@@TheRenBaron I’m great thank you. Hope you are too. Lovin the Cirrus life

[@c.j.5435]

Since you mentioned mistakes being pointed out in your videos ... If I remember correctly, circling the Statue of Liberty is supposed to be done counterclockwise 🤔😜 or was the SFRA not in place when you did the sightseeing flight?

[@TheRenBaron]

Wow it looks like I can add one more mistake to the list! -Thanks for pointing that out. Cheers-Ren

[@c.j.5435]

@@TheRenBaron anyway - great fan of your channel and the quality of your videos!

[@ryanawilson8549]

Incubus?! 🤯

[@TheRenBaron]

16 wonderful years with the guys. I take it you are a fan. Cheers-Ren

[@briansims4365]

Yes I am too.😃
