- Ever wanted to know how I fly a traffic pattern in a Cirrus SR22?
Well wonder no more. In this video, I am going to show you the 4 methods I use to navigate my Cirrus to the pattern and then use the pattern to land the cirrus safely with or without using the parachute.
This is a satire. Fly as your instructor taught you.
I am not a CFI. I am not your CFI.

The “up, up and away” lever. Too funny!
You have such a great sense of humor and can deliver with such beautiful seriousness. Really well done!
Thank you
You forgot one. Cirrus pilots must always land at a field that has a heliport because what they’ll do is just fly over the field and look for the heliport and pull the cute and bring her down gently onto the pad.
@Glen Towler Its not a problem. You just have to time it so a thermal is directly over your landing point.
I recommend the denial-heavy "Oops method". I use this along with the top tips Bryan provided, in his "ATC communications" educational video. I am queen of the skies, everyone avoids me, yet I hear nobody complain, ever.
With love from North London, UK. I think.
I went out and tried technique 1 this morning. I did not realize how easy that method was. Thanks for your insightful knowledge and thanks for making me a better cirrus pilot.
Just found your channel so you have a new subscriber. As a Cirrus driver I have learned a lot just from this video. My CSIP told me that there is never any reason to go around in a Cirrus, just pull the chute.
It’s so refreshing to hear from a pilot who’s been there and done that.
Kudos my friend.
I think I've done the "Oops" method before!!!!
Please don't ever stop making videos, your content is fantastic
Too funny, I actually googled blind beekeeping and it exists, bet they get stung less than me
Imagine how annoying the “Buzzing of the Bee” would be if you were blind.
@@mikeryan6277 from my quick Googling that’s exactly how they beekeep, by listening. I haven’t been stung in two years but that said I haven’t opened a hive in two years either. The drive by stingings stopped too. Met a retired beekeeper, he gave it up to take up flying. Perhaps that’s my future.
@@eveningecho5334 Alfred Hitchcock could have had a field day with the “Blind Bee Keeper”
Could have been his sequel to “The Birds”
@@eveningecho5334 forgot to mention, loved the term “Drive by Stinging”
@@mikeryan6277 I wasn’t joking there lol, I let that particular hive die. Husband of my wife ‘s friend keeps birds, I told him not to keep bees, the marriage would t survive if he gets mixed up in the birds and the bees
Accurate. The only thing I could add is squawking 7600 for pleasant radio silence.
Brian, I hope that you got your bags prepared for your next trip to the FSDO😉
I left general aviation before the first Cirrus was built. Thank you for painting a picture of what I can expect to find if I ever come back. 😂
You know I've heard of those "S Turns" before but never knew what the term meant. Now I know where to perform them. On the runway
You got it. S-turns are equally good for improving take-off distance available - for aircraft so old or flimsy that they have neither a TOGA switch or an Up-and-Away lever.
Hilarious! I'll have to try pre-programming the auto pilot before hitting the "up, up, and away" lever on the Piper; unless, of course, it places me too close to a Cirrus at the next airport...
I’ve learned a lot today. My passengers will appreciate your outstanding knowledge on the “other” traffic pattern base turns.
The "other" pattern clearly provides a superior 360 degrees look-out for other traffic. Keep doing those extra safe "other" style base turns, the greater path distance means they can be initiated from a greater altitude, which is also safer in case of engine trouble (I guess this is why BrYan advocates full speed landings too). Now that you mention it, this sort of nuggets will probably fit nicely in the passenger pre-flight safety briefings - the passengers will certainly be more at ease knowing these things!
Classic. Don’t forget the “shooting ILS approach to missed approach point towards opposite traffic” during high activity hours with a full pattern of students.
👍☑️Up, up and away lever LOL
I learned a lot from this video BrYan. Having never flown a Cirrus for the obvious reasons of expense, demand, and possessing excellent airmanship, I find myself a bit jealous of the numerous options for pattern entry. I guess the older I get, the more technological advancements render any real thought processes or skills as meaningless as my hopes and dreams. Perhaps I have been too harsh in my judgement of the Cirrus. Yes. I will buy one. Edit: Yeah bud, just checked the prices. I can get like 4 doctor killers for that kind of bank. With glass cockpits. Probably a lap dance, too. F*$# Cirrus, man. Great video, tho
Cirrusouly 🤣🛫 I enjoy your satire! Especially the explanation of your students. I bet the AFW FSDO is shaking their heads and they are making rattle can like noises! Keep up the good work!😁🛫
Most cirrus pilots are blind and oblivious to traffic patterns , " Cirrus 12345, 40 miles to the southwest, lined up for a straight in approach , 30 miles, 20 miles, 10 mile final , any traffic any the area please be advised we have a cirrus pilot in the area please vacate the area immediately"....ha!! j/k
Thank you for another excellent video that made me laugh. Keep it up Bryan !!
This is so good Bryan. Thanks for all the laughs! Looking forward to more
Thank you :)
That second landing diagram made me LOL, thanks!!
I was on the fence but now I'm definitely buying a cirrus!
#4 combined with #3 and a sprinkle of #2 methods are how most folks get into KBDN, Cirrus and Citation alike. However, you didn’t cover the most consistent method used here: listen to CTAF and do exactly the opposite of what everyone else is doing at a block altitude typically reserved for wildlife activity without making any calls whatsoever.
I'm new to flying and this video has been very helpful on my learning journey. Thank you.
If I ever learn to fly, I want to fly a Serious just like you! 🙃
Gee I’m learning a lot!
Thanks man, I always mess up square patterns, rectangular patterns and circular patterns…If you have a sec could also you explain the kidney shaped pattern? You da best…
I am working on some alternate pattern entries. Screw that 45 degree entry. 38 degrees is the optimal entry angle :)
Clever! Laughing at yourself is the best way to keep learning and putting minor errors behind you. Some truth here though, to a Cirrus pilot, a "short" approach is what they perform in the morning, "Hmm, cargo pockets today or sexy & smooth?"
Love it, Bryan!
As Capt. Bill Shakespeare said whilst flying his King Learjet "Jesters do oft prove prophets ..." - you gotta tone it down a bit though - I nearly gave myself asthma I was laughing so hard ...
Make sure you overshoot the final especially if there is a parallel runway
I’ve missed these videos Brian. Too much serious lately.
Best flight instructor in the world.
That was Funny AF! haha killing it
As a Member of the Board of Sightless Apiculturists Minors (SAMs), I am highly offended by the comment at the beginning of this video. You have never once been at one of our meetings. I think your claim to be an instructor for us is fake news.
I've been there, you probably just didn't see me.
Beekeeping to blind kids at the skating rink. Okay, that's one of the best 'instructor' ones you've come up with yet.
Okay, these were funny, but I'm looking forward to the Debonaire Traffic Patterns, or anything involving a Beech Bonanza!
I guess the question becomes "Now that you're getting the Debonaire, are you going to stop mooching off of your Dad and not fly is Cirrus anymore?" :D :)
HAHAH!!! I am upgradinng but so is he. I expect next year I will be flying some Bonanza variant and when able I will be "borrowing" his G3. Dad is flying a ton these days working on his IR. after his checkride, he is going to upgrade. But sticking with Cirrus. I can't wait to see what the future holds. He's my favorite person to fly with.
@@JustPlaneSilly well, I really hope you end up with that 1960 Deb, that's a really nice airplane, except for the paint job.
As to your Dad, it's great that you enjoy flying with him. I also wish him the best in getting his instrument rating.
Next, both of you are going to need to get your Commercial license and then the CFI, CFII, CFIM, CFIIM and whatever else. You need to pick up a Diamond DA-42! If I was still flying, or even able to fly, and I had the money, the DA-42 is the airplane I want to own.
Can I share that the owner of my flight club is a beekeeper and often brings hives to the hangar? And my CFI is allergic?
One of these days, I might learn a very different, interesting, and harrowing style of flying.
"Airport Traffic, Cirrus is on a 50 mile final. Any other traffic in the pattern, please vacate the area immediately"
That was great.
You missed very important points, one, be sure to point the tail at the nearest open hangar. Set the brakes, start the engine and bring the power to at least 2000rpm. Stay there with the brakes set for 20 minutes. Also consider the overhead approach, where you get over the top then pull chute.
Bahaha…that was hilarious…great stuff!
Watch out for clouds, they might get stuck to your wings
🔥❤️😎Another great video, thank you. Did you sell the Grumman and buy your dads Cirrus or a different one?
Hysterical!
I've been teaching it wrong all along. Thanks! I'll update my syllabus asap and tell all my students to only use caps until they get updated on the new process.
“Land on the taxiway, don’t do that”! Has anyone told Han Solo?
The only thing wrong with this video is that magneto failures have been the way Cirrus has kept me out of the pattern, not the alternator. 😂
I think I'm using the oops method in the C172 and feel kinda foolish now. Like pretending I have a side stick and flying really fast. Are you planning a giveaway of your new baseball cap???? I like it!
This. All of this.👏
I'm concerned about this "un controllable" airport thingy....
controllable airports are a pain because they're always moving around and you never know how much fuel it will take to get to one
Ha ha, love it 😀
2:25 that's what the Grumman is for 😉
Is it proper procedure to pull the shoot on roll out to help you stop on the runway?
That manover automaticly makes you a high performance jet test pilot.
It’s mandatory!
...though I like to pull my chute when nobody is looking.
@@glennllewellyn7369 🤣🤣🤣
Those Parachute pop overlays got me. Real time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Top Man
I love you
Always cal in a 25 mile final approach
We have a local crop duster that uses your "direct to" approach method. This is so dumb, that he actually makes money flying his plane.
This video made it to COPA forums
Hahaha! Hike they are taking it well.
Good to see you. Hope you and your family are well
HA😂😂. The truth to that is I have seen some Cirrus pilots probably fly that way. LOL.
So, Cirrious question for you: how often would you recommend being inside the airplane while flying these types of patterns?
So wait - at what point do I use the blinkers on the wingtips? Before the turn, or do we use the BMW time?
Cirrus champions the precautionary alternator failure...an industry first!
Epic
you did forgot to include
"20 mile final, straight in, any traffic please advice"
You forgot the vertical approach - overhead and pull chute
Straight out departure to a straight in 24 mile approach is the only was to do it! Why do they even put ailerons and a rudder on the airframe anyway? Just need the go fly lever and AP button!
I have never laughed louder
I'm gonna hit the brakes, he'll fly right by. As a Cirrus pilot you can quote Top Gun lines and everything will work out.
I usually just keep flying until I find an airport where I can land straight in.
Unfortunately the SR22 suffers from "don't-get-there-itis."
This is funny, but I've SEEN THIS STUFF!!! So it's funny because it's true.
LOL
Can you land the Cirrus on the ice during a beekeeping lesson?
Yeah but you might hit a kid. They are like super blind at that particular skating rink
Overshoot final and hit a metroliner
I'm not a pilot, just love planes. Is a Cirrus the flying version of a BMW?
Don't let your Dad see this or he will stop you flying the Cirrus and you will have to keep your plane.
I don't believe it. You pull the chute every time, I'm sure of it!
What if I’m the 2nd Cirrus coming in 🤠
As busy as you are, where do you find time to make videos??????
He doesn't
Truth is, I don't require a great deal of sleep. I tend to edit videos after the family has gone to sleep.
Also I am an IT guy meaning I spend most of my day at a computer. I always have notepad up and I constantly jot down notes when something pops into my head.
I am going back to 1 video every other week because it is too taxing at the rate I have been putting them out.
If anyone can afford a cirrus, why not just buy the airport too?
Airports can, like, go outta control, (I mean, Kabul, sure,) but, I'm, like, here, in the US of $$$...?
Cirrus "dominating" Pipers? YGBSM. My Cherokee 6 could beat the sh** outta your Cirrus! lol
My Mooney will bench press both of ya. 9G wing, baby!
You bought your dad's plane???
real pilots dont need engines
clown!
That’s why cirrus pilots are lousy pilots. How’s that insurance premium working for you.
Mine went down this year actually. Was a little surprised.
Not funny. No joking matter.
It seems about 23,000 people disagree with you.
I never was one to ask approval of the masses.
@@BlackwaterBud for sure but you are smack dab in the middle of a comedy channel stating "not a joking matter" Everything here is a joking matter. This is where we come to unwad our panties.
