    The Cirrus SR20, type certificated in 1998, was the first widely produced general aviation aircraft manufactured with all-composite construction. Glass cockpits originated in military aircraft in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Cirrus uses a side stick attached to push rods and cables not springs.

    We bought a SR20 since it was $80,000 less than the same year SR22 and the speed difference only costs us about 8 minutes on a normal trip. I just couldn't see spending $80,000 for 8 minutes. The insurance and fuel costs were a LOT cheaper on the SR20 as well. It's always nice to go faster, and the useful load on the SR20 is a bit limiting.

    • @SuperV8driver

      You purchase a deal called "scout" or a bit more money the "Stratus". These devices create a WiFi network in the plane that will connect to your iPad. It won't give you internet but it gets information from towers on the ground and then sends them via WiFi to your tablet. It is really nice. Especially for displaying other traffic in flight.

    A Cirrus owner I knew said insurance companies actually recommend pulling the chute because even though it damages the plane severely there is much less chance of serious injuries to the pilot, hurting other people on the ground, and causing serious damage to other people's property if a forced landing goes bad. Maybe it was just his insurer though.

    • @JustPlaneSilly
      @JustPlaneSilly 6 років тому +4

      It is encouraged. Statistically, rate of survival is 100% when pulled with in specified parameters. Off field landing has higher chance of fatality. The insurance companies would rather buy a plane than handle human casualties. And we all want to see our kids grow up so after a quick evaluation, I'd probably err on the side of the chute if I'm inside the prescribed parameters for pulling.

    • @gbigsangle3044
      @gbigsangle3044 6 років тому +1

      There are scenarios where pulling the chute is the emergency response. Mid-air collisions with other planes or objects like a bird strike, incapacitation of the pilot, over water, over terrain where no landing is possible, engine fire that compromises the landing gear, loss of wing, flaps, ailerons, tail, prop, all or in part. To name a few.

  • @jameswikstrom4174
    @jameswikstrom4174 6 років тому

    The Cirrus is one of my favorite airplanes.I believe the body and wings are mostly carbon fiber which reduces the weight but maintains rigidity. The Cirrus Vision jet is one of my all time favorites but a little pricey! When Cirrus came out with the Vision Jet, it was an immediate success. It has payload, efficiency and range. I have seen it flown on UA-cam and enjoy every flight. That might be your next step from the SR-22. Instrument panel is exactly the same which makes transitioning to a jet easy! Something to think about if you have some spare change!

    • @gbigsangle3044
      @gbigsangle3044 6 років тому

      The Cirrus is all carbon fiber except for flaps, ailerons etc. From the SR22 the next plane is usually the SR22T (turbo). Then possibly the jet if you have the money. There is a two to three year backlog to get a jet.

    Cirrus is nice but for me all that auto stuff not into, I like working props. The chute re-pack every 10 years on top of all the other time limit items, make cost of ownership a bit more than my liking. The chute is nice if ever needed that's for sure. I rather have a Cessna 350 or TTx and many other HP aircrafts. Not knocking SR's, nice crafts and glad we have them out there. Auto props are nice I know and helps workload in IFR for sure. If I came across a good deal, I wouldn't walk that's for sure. Depending on which Gen. aircraft makes a difference with re-packing too.

      @JustPlaneSilly 6 років тому

      Foreflight on the ipad. It is a great program that will allow my to quickly get all of the info the plane gives me and more.
      Additionally, it allows me to use more things at once. For example, if I want to use the plane's screen for engine and fuel monitoring, I can reference the iPad for maps and tracking, etc.
      Most pilots in general aviation nowadays fly with foreflight. It is to be used only as a backup to your aircraft instrumentation. My other plane is much older and less well equipped so when I fly with the ipad, it provides me a lot more information in the way of weather, and other traffic. You essentially have $20k worth of aircraft instruments in a $200/ yr iPad app.

    The use of the chute is covered by an insurance. When you buy a Cirrus, The manufacturer gives you a training course, recommend the use of and train you to do so. In case of a dead stick, the moment you pull the chute, the insurance owns the a/c. If you try to land it, you are on your own...

      It looks deceiving because the wings don't appear to be large enough but each Wing has a 41 gallon fuel tank in it. I can fly for about 5 hours on full fuel if my bladder would allow for it.

    “Cirrus is the first aircraft company that took aerodynamics into consideration when designing the fuselage “. I’m sure you can see how this is not exactly an accurate statement,,, but I guess I can see what you were trying to say.

      @@FlyingDoodles I mean this most respectfully.... Trent has over 140K subs and growing fast (roughly 15 times what you have), he is a professional film editor (the quality of the films is absolutely *UNREAL*, sooooo good)... videos typically get between 30K and 2.5M views.... I'm guessing your numbers don't look that attractive to him just yet. If you want to do something that people want to see that hasn't been done??? Maybe look up Mike Patey and do a piece on Turbulence (his race plane). All of the focus is on Draco... there is very little about Turbulence, and that's a shame because Turbulence is so over-the-top cool. Do a piece on Turbulence and I'll sub.

      He didn't, it was a misspeak on his part. His father purchased the Cirrus on a sole owner basis. Bryan owns an AA-5 Traveler. He recounts on the forums his desire to own something on his own, which is how he ended up with the Traveler. He fully acknowledges he wouldn't otherwise be able to afford access to the Cirrus, if his father decided to sell it. If my dad had the means to own a SR-22 and let me fly it for gas money alone, of course I'd jump on that. I think we all would.
      I do understand how without that information for context, people would think his narrative come off as disingenuous or tone deaf, so I don't find your question out of left field. Bryan is good people; his channel is pretty funny and popular, ditto for his contributions on the forums.
