Cirrus is an incredible airplane. It has so many safety features built in that comparable single aircraft are lacking. They are far advanced in technology and aerodynamics. It would be my choice of a single hands down but I am still working on my pilots license and likely will be able to afford to buy one. I can still dream of owning one!
@GBigs Angle said it correctly when he called it "the Ferrari of the skies" but it seems to me to also be one of the safest planes of the skies, so far it has a C.A.P.S. and it also has a auto HYPOXIA detector and alert in case you do pass out, which I thought was really kewl. Watch the Oxygen video, If ya go too high and hypoxia kicks in before ya get a mask on, it will auto descend to 14000. THAT IS AWESOME!!!, So I told my wife as soon as i win the lottery I am getting my pilots lic and buying this plane. Hell today is FRI THE 13! so lets get LUCKY! Oh and thumbs up to ya brother... this was a very nice vid.
Can you imagine having to deploy that chute over Manhattan, and coming down and catching on a skyscraper? (Or any other large city.) Not good, or having a fail over a forest, then hanging from a tall tree IF you didn't crash on down to the ground with your aircraft on top of you! I think I'd rather take a chance on gliding to a landing, which is a bit more controlled. With a good pilot and careful maintenance and avoiding bad weather, the use for a chute is very minimal. And they CAN tangle! I don't know, I've been a GA pilot for well over 40 years; I just don't fly in icing conditions and would rather glide to a landing than have a chute drop me! All those new gadgets MAY be nice for some, but the novelty of them may be for people who MUST have the latest gadgets, not me!
Im pretty sure that trying to land the plane is almost everytime the better choice than pulling the chute, but I disagree with apploying it over the forest I think if u would literally try to land in a forest where threes are everywhere ur much safer deploying the chute there even if the chute gehts caught up in the trees u much more likely to survive that than try to land there. That said I would almost everytime prefer a field or highway to land on if possible.
No such thing as gliding to a landing in a piston plane. They drop like a rock. If you are over a forest you will die ramming branches thru your torso or if over NYC you will die hitting a building. The chute gives you a fighting chance.
The glass cockpit is amazing, but the best things are the safety features like anti-icing, duplicated everything, and of course, the parachute is the icing on the cake! I don't think any other plane will have such amazing features like this one! After flying it for the first time, I instantly felt in love with it, and it felt like I had been flying it for months! It just does what you want. Simply perfect!
When I see videos like this I am in awe, and anxious as hell about what the investment banker told me 4 months ago. I'm meeting the CFI on Saturday because I'm good to go with a purchase of this aircraft. Target to have the PPL by June '19, and IFR some time after.
@@friskytwox The used market was too good to resist. I flew the plane from new for seven years and sold it for what I paid for it. I am on my last plane now, so I am going for an Experimental, a Velocity XL.
I like that plane, but the indexed yoke hybrid made me want to rip it off and toss it out the window. Particularly annoying when you are landing. It has that awesome yaw damper and an automatic propeller pitch control that's linked to the throttle.Corvallis TTX is a lot faster but it doesnt have a yaw damper and it has the archaic mix-throttle-pitch controls. It's about picking what you prefer.
*sigh*... maybe in my next life I'll be lucky enough. Just out of curiosity, with this particular model can you see effectively down toward the ground laterally from the pilot/co-polot's position? I lot of low-winged (aka not Cessna 152/172/182) single props obscurge to pilot's ability to appreciate his or her view of the ground.
Do you mean look down at the ground from inside the cockpit as you fly? The answer is not directly down, the wing is in the way. But you can peer out ahead of the plane and behind it and see the ground, mountaints etc.
As best as I can tell, it is a beautiful craft. Not that it matters, but I read somewhere that Angelina Joli owns one. I'm not a celebrity worshiper, I only mention that simply to say it must be nice to enjoy such a fine aircraft. And the interior, for the type of aircraft, looks gorgeous. I trained in a Cessna 152, and it was the most uncomfortable thing ever. (Don't get me wrong, great plane), but extremely uncomfortable. The Cirrus looks like a dream come true both in terms of avionics and comfort.
I am a high time student and learned exclusively in a SR20. I would not say it is easy and safe is relative. While the G3 panel is wonderful, learning about the panel and learning to fly can be daunting. Being selective with instructor choice is most important in my opinion. I stopped just before completing my requirements (solo cross country) due to some family obligations, but hope to get back to it soon.
The AoA meter is not a stall warning...it tells you the angle of the wing to relative wind...it has color coded gradations...green, yellow, red. When the needle hits red you will be stalling the wing. But the stall horn will go off just before that...an audible warning too.
CAMERA MOVEMENT TOO JERKY. HOLD CAMERA STILL EXPLAIN WHAT YOU ARE PHOTOGRAPHING, STOP FILMING, MOVE CAMERA TO NEXT INSTRUMENT, HOLD CAM PERFECTLY STILL, EXPLAIN WHAT YOU ARE FILMING. AVOID BACKGROUND DRUM BEAT, WHEN FLYING YOU DO NOT BEAT DRUMS, WHEN FLYING YOU LISTEN AND COMMUNICATE WITH ATC. FLYING IS N. O. T. A ROCK AND ROLL CONCERT. IF I WISH TO HAVE ROCK AND ROCK NOISE, I SHALL ATTEND A ROCK AND ROLL VENUE WHEN I ACCESS CIRRUS VIDEO, I DO SO BECAUSE I WANT TO EXPERIENCE A CIRRUS FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT
Hi Ralph, I'm really sorry you are so angry you are even typing all in CAPITAL LETTERS.. this is not a good practice in the Internet Language. CAPITALS mean SHOUTING... and I don't like people shouting at me. -Let me explain that I just went on a Cirrus demo flight which lasted 30' in total. Probably, if I had more time (or even my own plane), I agree I could have done a better job with the cameras, but the idea was to share with all of you my experience of flying a Cirrus Aircraft for the first time. If you want more details about instruments and systems, I'm sure you can find them on the Cirrus website, and surely, you will find more professional and in-depth videos around the Internet. Regarding the music, it's not "Rock n' Roll"... it's actually electronic music I've done myself to make the video more dynamic and easy to watch... otherwise it becomes boring... Also, FYI, The Cirrus Aircraft comes with Bluetooth connectivity to your phone, so you can actually listen to music while you fly, so this is a true Cirrus flight environment. (If you don't like listening to music while flying, that's also fine, but Cirrus comes with this feature). Regarding the video itself, if you don't like it, I'm fine with that, we all have different tastes, so you can simply click on the thumbs down icon, and we are still friends, but please, don't come to me teaching lessons on how to make videos... Now I'm really curious about seeing one of your videos, to see how good they are, so could you please post a link for all of us here, so we can learn from you? Thanks.
If you're an experienced pilot, you would probably be able to fly the plane without the bells and whistles. The correct airspeed and altitude is a different story though.
Great video. I really enjoyed it!

Sweet Plane!! I will love to take a demo in a cirrus
You can always check their website, and see if there is an upcoming demo event near you: cirrusaircraft.com/events/
Lovely SR22T. Tracked it via FlightRadar24 on its journey from Duluth to Spain a few weeks back. Any videos of the ferry flight?
Amazing aircraft !!!

Things have come a long way since I flew using Loran-C for navigation.

Sexy! Love the digital dash and the parachute!

how much is the cost of a brandnew cirruss 22? type of fuel? maximum speed?
All of this information is readily available on the cirrus website..............
Cirrus is not cheap. You get what you pay for....they do not hide pricing, go to cirrusaircraft.com/

I just sold my Cirrus SR22T. I flew it for five plus years. I will miss her.
@@gbigsangle3044 why'd you sell??
do you have your PPL??

Thanks for the reply and information. I figured as much, but thought I would ask anyways. It looks like a fun plane to fly.
It is the ultimate piston engine cross-country flyer. It isn't cheap...it's like the Ferrari of the skies.
It's a beautiful aircraft both aesthetically and functionally. Maybe one day I'll get to fly in one.

This a easy and safe aircraft too learn how too Fly?

That aoa indicator seems more like a stall indicator.
Very good! A stall always occurs at a certain AOA, regardless of speed or attitude.
The AoA meter is not a stall warning...it tells you the angle of the wing to relative wind...it has color coded gradations...green, yellow, red. When the needle hits red you will be stalling the wing. But the stall horn will go off just before that...an audible warning too.
Man have aircraft changed since I started flying dirty little C150s!
Not all aircraft. The Cirrus is the state of the art.
Cessna still makes and sells the 172 and 182. They are classics.
what was that song ?
Hi, this is a song I produced for this video ;) Thanks for asking.
Hopper Mantis

I can tell they made that some with GarageBand
Your red love
Shame you can’t see the dash

Nice. I'm just afraid if all the gadgets die, what happens then🙄
If you're an experienced pilot, you would probably be able to fly the plane without the bells and whistles. The correct airspeed and altitude is a different story though.
This plane also has standard, non-digital airspeed indicator and altimeter, so there's nothing to worry about.
If you are a pilot, and done your homework...you fly the airplane.
