It is amazing how gen aviation has caught up and surpassed autopilot capabilities of airliners. We didn't have such detail on the dep. procedure...or a sidestick.
Congratulations
Congrats on the new job Colin! You do a great job with your content & I definitely enjoy it. Best of luck with your new endeavor!
Congrats on current and future jobs.
You've got my curiosity about landing at Aspen. Now I'll have to check if you have an Aspen approach video.
Great Video, and congrats on the news. Good luck Man!
Top quality as always, Colin. Repeated best wishes to you for the next chapter at Skywest. Still hoping to meet you in May '19 at IA. Damien
Congrats on the new gig!
Congrats on New Job.👍
Congrats on the new job! I’ve enjoyed watching your videos. I was looking for my house while you were being vectored. KAPA is busy as usual.
Hi friend, I loved video! can you pass me what are the video settings you use on your gopro? what better resolution frame rate etc.
ViniciusMartinsOfl Thanks for watching! It’s a combo of the Hero 5 and 6. 4K 30FPS. Protune and spot metering on. Each camera has an ND filter on it.

Cool Video
Great view, great ride. Wing-rockin' best on the new career!
Great video. I noticed that the video quality outside the cockpit is clearer than inside. Is this caused by vibration from the engine and why is the outside view not affected also?
Michael Cuffe yeah the interior camera has a strong ND filter to get rid of the prop. The vibration blurs it a bit. Since the sun is less intense this time of year, should’ve put a weaker one on. Lesson learned!
@@ColinPrenger thanks for the feedback.
Colin Prenger Hi, I noticed you are wearing the light speed tango headset. My question to you is that : have you used a boss A20 before? If so, how is it compared to the tango? I’m trying to decide between which one to get. This would be my first ANR headset. I will really appreciate your input . Also, anyone who’s reading this post and have had both headset, your input would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks y’all.
Is that Cirrus pressurized? Don't you need oxygen when flying at 17,000?
Only the SF50 Jet is pressurized. The SR20 and SR22 series are not. You are REQUIRED to be on oxygen as a pilot at 12,501 and above.
The SR22 is not pressurized. The Cirrus Jet is pressurized.
Great video! Congratulations on SkyWest and welcome aboard! Maybe I’ll see you out on the line soon... I’m on the 175 now but I started on the CRJ and it’s a fun jet. The airlines are awesome in my opinion but I have stayed involved in GA as well and love it! So I’m sure you’ll do great balancing both!
Siegwart Aviator Sounds good! Come say hi if you see me! Looking forward to it
Thank You Colin. We're sure gonna miss these videos. But a man's gotta do whatta man's gotta do. Happy Training. And yes, do your best to hang on this wonderful job that you love doing! Happy New Year!
Congratulations, I wish you well. I have just watched @Cirrusmax take his SF50 out of KASE, but he departed off to the west.
Great video. Excellent work. Thank you for sharing.
I have a friend, a really good pilot, not make the grade recently as a 121 new hire because of the automation procedures that he had to try and learn. This is a guy you would want to have up front if all the bells and whistled failed, but that was not the 121 carrier's interest. They wanted guys with the hours who could fly the automation, and flying the airplane was not the main consideration it was just a few years ago. True story.
What is in planes today is a far cry from the autopilot in the 35's and 55's I flew. It will become a struggle for pilots to keep up with their hand flying skills from now on. It reminds me of a joke I heard in the 1990's, which seemed absurd at the time. It might have been one of Rod's stories..I'm not sure. It went like this: Lufthansa had installed new cockpit automation, and as a result, they were eliminating the FO job and replacing the man with a German Shepherd dog. It was the pilot's job to feed the dog, and it was the dog's job to bite the pilot if he touched anything. Today, that seems less and less absurd.
Interesting you posted this as I had a discussion with a pilot a couple of days ago (he flys for a major carrier). We were talking about automation and how far things have come even in the last 5 years. I don't know if all the automation is a good thing, or a bad one. It's bad because pilots like the one you mentioned struggle to learn all of the new systems but have flown for many, many years. It's good because automation leads to less stress on pilots and the systems are extremely reliable nowadays. Still, there's just a level of comfort knowing that your pilot can hand fly the entire flight if it came to that.
Art Houston You have a valid point, which is why we teach pilots flying the Cirrus how to hand fly if all the electronics fail.
Nice one! So true!
@Art Houston The equipment is not there for looks...it is there to make flights safer. And it does. Your friend needed to be able to use the tools in the plane...no different than being able to use the yoke and six-pack. A pilot conversant with glass is no different than one conversant with round gauges. One not better or worse than the other.
@@BoomerKeith1 The argument 'automation is bad because it can fail' applies to manual flying too. The Cirrus has redundant systems similar to the Boeings. Really there are three levels of redundancy if you count the backup panel independent of the PFD and MFD. An autopilot, especially one as sophisticated as the GFC700 is fantastic...but there is only one of them in the plane so hand-flying is obviously a skill that is required of all pilots, even ones in highly sophisticated planes like the one flown in this video. But the tools on the panel allow single pilot flights at a much higher and safer level. Again, an 'old timer' who uses round gauges is not better or worse than a pilot trained to use glass. Both must fly takeoffs and landings by hand, both must pass the same checkrides demonstrating hand-flying skills as well as skills using the automation. The idea that just because automation is there precludes skill in hand-flying is bogus.
Job well done. Thanks for producing and sharing. Congrats on the new job!!
Congratulations ! on getting hiredby Sky West Air Lines . Hope you enjoy the job .
Very nice video as usual. Congrats and good luck on the new gig. I do hope you will be able to post a bit more content before your training date. Thanks for all your efforts to date Colin.
What an airplane. Thanks for posting
Watching this on a 4K monitor and it looks great. Good luck with the transition to the 121 world.
JesseFlies thanks!!
nice
All the best for your new job Colin. Love all your postings here and hope to see more in any form. Thanks -
Congratulations and good luck!
my fav x-plane route ) KDE-KASE. Good luck for the future.
Congratulations on the hire. Safe journey!
Well, I guess that's pretty neat, but where is the fun?
@ Colin preener : Hi, I noticed you are wearing the light speed tango headset. My question to you is that : have you used a boss A20 before? If so, how is it compared to the tango?

Fufu Pilot I have used both. I prefer light speed because it fits my head better than Bose. Sound quality between the two are different, no complaints about the tango, but obviously Bose is the leader in that. Wireless feature works very well no issues.
Colin Prenger Thank you very much sir. I really appreciate you. Most youtuber such as steveo1kinevo, flight chops, aviation101 wont reply when you ask them through their UA-cam comment section. I was very happy to see your reply. This is what this community (the general aviation) should be about. I have couple of my friends who work for Skywest but they are now based in Atlanta. I planned to work for Skywest after my training by the grace of God. Hope to see you there. Good luck and God bless. Again, thank you very much for your inputs.
Fufu Pilot No problem, thanks for watching!
Aspen is absolutely gorgeous! You lucky dog!
I'm curious about what you used to "write" the initial clearance on.
iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil on the scratchpad in ForeFlight
@@ColinPrenger Thanks! Seemed to work great.
@@MalcolmRuthven It is a game changer having the Apple Pencil and have everything in one place to write and get info.
@@ColinPrengerThanks again. Can you scroll backwards and forwards to see previous notes?
Excellent
Congrats on the new job with Sky West! Hope you enjoy flying the lovely CRJ. Good luck on training and classes Colin!!
Aviator Dylan Thank you!
Please continue....we love your cirrus flight.
Congrats on your new job. Hope to see more Cirrus videos from you.
Thanks! I hope so too!
Dame you make it look easy
Congrats on the new gig!
Brian McGee Thank you!
Like Butta
Well, it wasn't an automatmated take-off - but it sure looks easy to fly. A well-conceived cockpit.
Amazing flight and congrats!
Congrats, hate see ya go, hopefully in your “spare” time you can throw us a bone from time to time - HA!
Parr 4 the Course I might have a video or two on deck for when I’m gone ;)
Ha, figured as much!!!
My thoughts exactly!
Christopher Hereford
Yep us low time pilots and newbie UA-cam posters need all the tips we can get - HA!
@@Parr4theCourse Yeah! That's absolutely true! Thank God for people like Colin who share their knowledge on the subject, and their wisdom on why they do the things they do. I'm benefiting a lot! Thanks for bringing it up!
Can't find Lindz9 aircraft info on Google.
Michael Miller LINDZ9 is the name of the standard instrument departure procedure. The aircraft is a Cirrus SR22T
@@ColinPrenger Ok, thanks.
Congrats on your news. !!! Enjoy it
Thank you!
Is 100% electric?
Ricardo Vidal Rivero The plane is gas powered if that’s what you’re getting at.
Is this automated flight path a function of the G6's new software, or is this feature also available on the earlier model Cirrus'?
The Visual Approach function is new with the Perspective system. The earlier model Cirrus will fly a departure/arrival just the same.
@@pssryan He briefly mentioned what the Visual Approach gives you on the avionics, but can you describe in more detail what it all shows you on the screen? Thx
@@HighMo Sure! The new visual approach function gives you the lateral guidance via GPS just like an instrument approach, but it also sets up vertical guidance for you like an ILS or LNAV/VNAV instrument approach. Basically you will get two indicators on the screen that show you if you are lined up horizontally and vertically with the runway based on a 3 degree slope coming down.
@@pssryan Exactly correct, thanks for explaining!
Exactly what Ryan said in this thread.
is that your plane
don doswell I wish! It’s one of our fleet aircraft.
Congrats!
Thank you!
What about Oxygen? You are pretty high up there.
I put it on through 14,000 feet. May have not been captured in the video. But yes IFR over the Rockies, always have oxygen on.
@@ColinPrenger Do use an oxygen mask flying over the Rockies or nasal canula ?
Bob Shaw Majority of the flying I do only requires the cannula. I try to avoid the mask if I can, they are pretty uncomfortable.
Too much useless crap talk.
Downunder 069 Then don’t watch it and keep to yourself.
You need to be thinking about standard phraseology for both your training and future ATC communications with Skywest. Good luck.
