I’m taking delivery of a G7 in January so trying to learn as much as possible about the systems and watching lots of videos - this is the most informative video for where I am in my training that I’ve seen. Thanks!
The propeller governor isn't monitoring anything. It's not doing anything automatically. The prop cable is connected to your throttle under the center console and when you move the throttle the cam assembly under the center console built by Cirrus is mechanically moving the prop cable. Cirrus did the engineering on that so you don't need to physically adjust the prop yourself
Fuel doesn't come out of engine pump directly into the fuel distribution block (flow divider) it comes out of engine pump, thru flow transducer, into unmetered and low idle mix control then into the flow divider into injector lines
That is not the manifold pressure sensor you hand is on. The manifold pressure sensor was under your palm on top of the intake manifold. It has wire coming out of it.
Scott, thank you for being so astute. Like my previous reply, these videos are designed for the low time, new Cirrus owner to have a deeper understanding of their new SR-22 or SR-20. Pilots new to an airplane do not need to build it; they need to understand what makes their aircraft work to assist them in the rare situation something fails. Most new Cirrus owners share learning the SR-22/20 is like drinking from a firehose, so I find it valuable to meter how much information and detail I share.
Scott, thank you for sharing your experience. This video is to help the low time pilot who doesn't necessarily have detailed technical experience to have a deeper understanding of their new SR systems. You may have never had a fuel cap installed backwards or come off, but as a SR-22 owner and CSIP I have seen this happen at FBOs. I believe it worthwhile sharing the possibility of a fuel cap being installed in such a manner that the airflow might cause the cap to become unlatched and the cap falling off the aircraft airborne, better safe than sorry.
One of the best videos I have seen explaining engine systems on the SR22!

Excellent and informative video, thank you for uploading
Great stuff!
Excellent video. Always good to know and understand aircraft systems
So helpful! Thank you.
Excellent video, thank you
great info, thanks
Excellent video! Thanks for doing it. Don’t let the naysayer discourage you. Please make more informational videos.
Good job explaining the system on the sr series
Great video Anthony and Chris!

The TKS cap needs a key to open. How are people confusing them? The TKS drain is also different style.

I've worked on at least 500 SR series aircraft. Never have I had a customer loose a gas cap in flight
