Jim Barker (the Cirrus whisperer) suggests to simply crack the throttle a tiny bit, full mixture. In HUNDREDS of hot starts since he showed me this, it’s caught in 2 rotations. Nice and simple.
Hey Garrett. Came across your video. I own an 2021 SR22. Was taught this by a cirrus certified instructor during my transition training. I use almost the same procedure with one small difference and it cranks over within 3 rotations every single time. So the same as you are showing, mixture full rich, power lever between the O and W. This is where mine is a little different. Turn the key to both, then at the same time, hit the boost pump on and turn the key to start. Then quickly grab the power lever and pull it back.
I think the idea is the exact same, where we are trying to catch that liquid fuel behind the vaporized fuel. Thanks for sharing! Hope you're enjoying your new sr22, they're certainly a lot of fun!
I misread the title and thought this was how to “hot wire a Cirrus.”… that made me sit up to attention! (Obviously joking 🙃)… Nice video. Dumb question, is there a specific temperature you use to identify when to switch to using this technique rather than a standard cold start? (Completely off topic, what’s the guitar on the wall? Looks nice.👍)
Hahaha can you imagine? Usually whenever the temperature is above 100 to 110 degrees is when I use the hot start, there's a weird transition temperature where either one will work. (The guitar is a Schecter)
Kind of? But not really. The SR20 G6 is so finicky, I've done this hot start on it and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I've done another 3 hot start techniques on an SR20 and they all sometimes work and sometimes don't. The one thing that usually does work in an SR20 is flooding then doing a flooded start from there
Thank you for your sharing and now I’ll use your technique to hot start a Cirrus if I get the opportunity to flying one
Happy to help!
Thanks. Did a hot start yesterday without seeing this. It took me a couple of tries. This should help!
Glad I can contribute!

It really helped me out.
Have you tried this method in the density irport (>8000ft density altitude), usually is better with the flooded start method
I haven't. Never really taken a Cirrus at that high density altitude airfield before, but good to know about the flood start method for that 👍

what about the g6 20? same thing?

Ridiculous
This is the most annoying thing about a Cirrus
