  • I'm extremely fortunate to be spending a day flying in the Cirrus SF50 G2 Vision Jet - it is absolutely epic, as you can imagine. Initially we depart Cranfield VFR before converting to IFR to fly an RNP approach to Runway 27 at Gloucester. Please do like and comment your thoughts, I'd love to know what you think of the jet!

    I felt like this video was giving me an incredible lesson on how to fly the SF50. There were some gems in there. However, the sound of ATC did drown out the voices of the pilots. In the future, if possible, can you lower the sound of ATC. Thanks for a very informative video.

    Great video and a lovely, if odd looking, jet. Funny to hear my old aircraft TB20 N33NW getting a featuring role as you approach Gloucester. A shame that the pilot keeps abbreviating his callsign to "33NW" despite the controller correcting him every time to "N3NW". Grrr.

      @PlaneOldBen  3 роки тому

      It means in regards to a VFR departure from an airfield not in controlled airspace. A usual clearance would be something as simple as a left or right turnout after departure, but in this instance we were talking in regards to the possibility of them asking us to route via an airways reporting point.
