Excellent CIRRUS IFR video. You covered quite a few “potential gotcha” moments that I have experienced. I especially liked checking the approach to see if it populated a hold & then deleting it if not planned. I have been surprised by the AP more than once by neglecting this check. Keep the Cirrus Perspective plus IFR flights coming-excellent detailed instruction. Flying a SID & STAR would be great for next video.
Love the explanation at 27:47 when ATC gave you a shortcut to the localizer. I learned that you can press HDG and NAV together and NAV will come "alive" when it's captured the localizer! sweet!
Garrett, As a new private pilot UA-cam recommended your video so I checked it out. So glad I did. I really appreciate you taking the time to “teach” as you fly so I/we can follow along. More so, explaining how to make changes to your flight plan with the G1000 Avionics . Thanks for taking the time to do so. Rudy
Of all Cirrus flights this is one of the best one I’ve ever been on and not just riding but knowing your Aircraft and it’s navigation systems is the most important part of all my favorite aircraft if I ever purchase one will be SR22T G6
Very Nice Job: From piloting, camera vantage point, and your verbal follow through. One thing and that may be outside of some training. I leave all my lights on when in the air unless nighttime IMC. Back 50 years ago, in my early heydays, and older planes lights got hot and burned out, but with the new LEDs, no issue. (SEE AND BE SEEN). On my 5th Cirrus SR22, the new G6 will be here in March.
Another great video. Slowing getting through them all. 😊…. I noticed during the run up that there was a diamond floating across the PFD. I am assuming that this is part of TCAS and not that you have AIM9 heat seekers on board.😳😁 …. Again, thanks for taking the time to do these videos, they are excellent.👍
Great flight demonstrating proper IFR procedures Garrett! I’m curious about your perspective on proper trim usage. I’m a relatively new Cirrus pilot (have just little over 150 hours in SR20/22), and most of my experience is in Diamonds (DA40/20) and Cessnas (172/182). One thing I try to instill in my students is to avoid “flying the trim”, and always tell them to pitch the airplane to the desired attitude first and then trim to relieve control pressures. However in the Cirrus, I find myself fiddling with the trim button a lot, similar to what you’re doing around 12:28 mark where it appears you make small inputs to both elevator and aileron trim in all 4 directions. As I think of it, it seems aileron trim shouldn’t be needed in flight provided it was set correctly before takeoff to keep ailerons flush with the wing, but in practice, I too find myself doing it. Do you think it’s just a bad habit? Or is that how Cirri are meant to be flown given how sensitive controls are compared to say C182 or G36? This seems like a detail, but trim is so important to maintaining aircraft control. When I look at others fly Cirri, I also see them constantly fiddle with the trim button. This masks what the airplane is “telling” us, which could potentially be dangerous on say, a base to final turn, or a go-around. But perhaps it’s just a result of how the side yoke is designed and the absence of manual trim? What do you think?
This is a very interesting point you've brought up. We do a visual neutralization of the ailerons before takeoff, yes. However, have you noticed that some of the trailing edges of the wingtip are a little crooked or not 100% identical to the opposite side? that is what we (or at least I) was trimming for again after takeoff. It's a known Cirrus manufacturing error (where it's completely different from plane to plane) which can't be eliminated because of how composites cure. That being said... I haven't flown a cirrus in almost a year now (moved on to the airlines) so I'm just going by what I'm trying to remember I did, otherwise I'd love to just go out and fly a few Cirri planes to see why I did it. Hope this helps! Fly safe
I’m ready to copy ADIZ information Victor : I got the IFR clearance for our flight Garett and I’m learning more about putting in the flight planning in the Cirrus
Hi Garrett! Great video! I just received my commercial rating and would love to move aircraft around. Can you share how you started or point me in the right direction? Keep up the great content!
Hey! Congrats man! A great accomplishment indeed. I first started by calling skydiving places and asking if they needed a jump-pilot. Letting them know I'm new to commercial and ready to build some time. That worked out for me for about a year in NY. Getting your CFI and CFII will open a lot more doors for other pilot services. I looked around a lot in indeed.com and just keyword searching the kinds of jobs I could be a good candidate for. There is plenty out there! Also, make sure you have LinkedIn profile, a lot of companies reached out to me through there. Hope this helps!
@@FlyByGarrett Thanks dude!! We have lots of skydiving here in AZ so I’ll give that a shot. Studying for my CFI and CFII as we speak. The DPE shortage is real! I’ll also get my LinkedIn profile updated. I appreciate the advice!! 🙏 Hope your new regional adventure is going well!!
YES. From what I can glean, the technology used for SV varies by who is providing it (i.e.which systems are incorporated. Does the one in the Garmin Perspective utilize ID cameras)? Use IR ?
Thanks man! It's not kine, I just fly it on a contract to contract basis. But I have moved on to the airlines now, so most likely not be any new cirrus videos.
@@FlyByGarrett Ha! I see videos shot from that vantage point but have tried to imagine how the camera is secured to the ceiling of the Cirrus. I think some people do it, but don't know how. Thanks for letting me in on the secret!
@@hanksullivan No worries! yeah, I don't own these planes, and they have really nice interiors. I don't want to stick anything in the ceilings that would ruin it. No worries! happy to let you in on it.
I appreciate your discipline. I’m working at solidifying mine. “Cleared to land - ice lights on”. What’s that ice lights protocol about? Are you checking for ice before landing? Oh, I’ll bet you’re using them to mark that you received your landing clearance. Am I right?
The latter. Since Landing light is called for during descent checklist, I need another light to remind me the clearance has been received. So the ice lights are the only lights left to use. Also, it makes you more visible to others around the airport!
when you reached TOD and started descending, did you have to let ATC know, or do they let you know beforehand you were cleared to descend? Great Video!
Hi Nathan! They tell you before hand what altitude you need to cross a point. From there you don't really need to let them know when you start the descent as long as you comply with the crossing altitude. Sometimes they'll ask if you are planning to descend anytime soon just to make sure you didn't forget. Hope this helps!
if you are flying the flight levels or near them , I think the TOD is a good tool. However , if you are flying at the normal sweet spot (7000-10000 msl) my feeling is that it is pretty stupid and a bit careless in the PIC concept. A normal scenario is an altitude of say 8000 msl and you want to get down to 4000 msl say twenty miles out of your destination , so that you can easily get to 2000 ft msl 10 miles out. So that would be hmm. a 4000 ft descent. And a normal controlled descent (per most pilots) is say 500 pm - no overcooling problems and a comfortable descent.. Consequently, that would be 8 minutes - I really don't need to spend 3-4 minutes on a computer, programming it to know that calculation. A good process is say 30 miles out of your destination tune in the ATIS/ASOS on your second com and listen for when it starts coming in. When you hear the static that is a good time to start planning your descent and do your five second mental calculation of descent (flight level change). The thing I really don't like about this type of flying is that a pilot say over 30 years old , instinctively knows that the reduction in power is the beginning of your descent process and you can lose this or forget it when you turn everything to a computer because of the new catch phrase " reduced workload". Please pilots use your head and don't be brainwashed by your instructor , who mainly wants to show you something you don't know that he/she does.
Hi Kyung, I don't own any aircraft, I help manage them and move then to wherever they need to be positioned. I take advantage of my solo time in the flight deck to record the videos. Cheers!
@@thomasjenkins6950 I'm flattered and humbled! I should get it eventually but at the moment I have some movement going on in my career. Have a great day as well!
Why you use an iPad and phone when you have those screens in the cockpit? Makes no sense unless you don’t know how to use those systems. I’m not a pilot but was just wondering…
Phone to file the flight plan and text my company about flight status. Ipad or paper is required for back-up maps. I like showing different navigation info on ipad while having other things displayed on the avionics. There's a lot of reasons but those are my main ones. Hope it makes sense! I have another video showing how to navigate without a moving map and without GPS (Orlando to Gainesville VFR) and I still have to pu up the electronic map in my ipad to know where I'm going.
@@FlyByGarrett Very cool. Thanks for the clarification. That makes sense now. I am learning. It’s all very interesting to me. I am thinking about becoming a pilot one of these days when I get older
"Approach covers NAV plus the glide slope." Yes, finally someone explained that in a way that is simple and understandable.
Happy to help!
@@FlyByGarrett I appreciated that, too. I like the way you're talking thru and explaining what you're doing. Very helpful.

Good Job! Love the explanations of the instrumentation inputs. It would be good to see more detail (close ups) of the instrumentation.
Garett that is why I’m constant listening and watching how it’s done and it’s a lot of information that’ll learn and more and more
It is, but the more consistent you ate in doing and practicing it, the more natural it becomes! Just keep at it!

Good professional crew. Good SA throughout by the PM.
Well done; nice video. Really makes me miss my SR22 flying days, 15 years ago.
What happened? Why did you stop?
@@FlyByGarrettRetirement cash flow challenge not acceptable 😊
Of all Cirrus flights this is one of the best one I’ve ever been on and not just riding but knowing your Aircraft and it’s navigation systems is the most important part of all my favorite aircraft if I ever purchase one will be SR22T G6
This is a great tutorial on working the system. Once the electronics is learned, this would be a snap.
I'm so happy this was a useful video for you. This makes it all worth-while. Safe flying!

Excellent experience watching you Auto Pilot functions, need to see more on this, very helpful.
This is Fantastic .. Please keep teaching different approaches... You are Excellent!!!!!
good flight and good on your part to verbalize what you do...thanks.

Just wanted to get an idea of how well the Synthetic Vision provides in daylight low ceilings, or fog.
The exact same as day VFR. Unless... do you mean the Infra-Red camera?
When at minimums on ILS in the Cirrus G6 SR22T, after full flaps what % power setting do you usually reduce to?
Great video. If you don't mind, How do you mount the gopro that is over your right shoulder?

Just kidding. It's actually on a tripod, haha

Good job, may I ask why the flight director was disconnected when you started manual flying?
Thanks
Sometimes I miss raw-data flying. Just a preference to keep me proficient in harder ways of flying. Nothing more.
Thanks for the comment 👍
IS there a video of this Cirrus SV approach/Landing on low visibility IMC daytime landing?
The one time I went down to minimums (actually, to 100 feet above TDZE ) I wasn't recording 😞
But maybe someone else has uploaded one!
Interesting and informative..
Thank you!

question from a non-pilot (although I wish :) ) - what is that app you're using near the beginning to note the information from ATIS?
Foreflight! It has a scratch-pad to take notes. That's also the same app that contains all my charts and flight notices.
if you are flying the flight levels or near them , I think the TOD is a good tool. However , if you are flying at the normal sweet spot (7000-10000 msl) my feeling is that it is pretty stupid and a bit careless in the PIC concept.
