My friends PRICELESS reaction flying in a Cirrus SR22 G6 for the first time. IFR KFRG - KACY - KFRG

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2022
- With the promise of going to one of the best restaurants in Atlantic City, two friends agreed to hop in my Cirrus SR22 G6 for a nice dinner. One of them, John, was a student pilot, owned a 1977 Piper Cherokee, didn't finish his pilot's certificate and hasn't flown in over 15 years. The other, Steve, always had the perception that small plane is just that: small, cramped and uncomfortable. After they got in, both couldn't believe how modern, roomy and comfortable the Cirrus SR22 is. John is even thinking about finishing his pilots certificate.
So please join us on our flight to Atlantic City for an amazing dinner and back.

I think 'isolate' would be a good option for you in busy airspace. Lol. That was funny. 👋
Really great video thanks for sharing! It’s always cool when your friends are so comfortable that they want to start chatting but you did a fantastic job silencing them when you needed to focus.
Thanks Shane!
Love the professionalism and attention to detail in all your videos.
I appreciate that!
The best Cirrus video I've ever seen. I hadn't realised just how well they had integrated the systems. One input sysyem for radio, altimeter checklust etc.
Thanks Simon! Yes the interface is incredibly user friendly.
The whistles and bells you guys have compared to what we had in the 90’s and 00’s on our 182’s and 210’s is incredible. GA more and more looking like the airlines: positive rate, gear up and autopilot on…
While technology is providing great situation awareness, it’s also making some pilots to lose stick and rudder skills. That’s why I still love to hand fly :)
Thanks for your video, I'm learning a lot with ATC communication. Thanks for writing it on the screen.
Glad it was helpful!
I enjoyed flying along with you guys. Great views in both directions and a nice flight in your Cirrus SR22. Thanks for the Video
Thanks John! Appreciate the kind words.
Thanks much for the videos! Great job. You pilot the aircraft so expertly.
Thanks Tom! Appreciate the kind words.
"You can play it back" and his laugh . . . awesome. I know exactly how he felt at that moment!! I wish we had that tech back in my school days.
he was even more shocked at the glide distance ring that factors in wind correction...lol.
This is the safest single-engine, non-pressurized airframe you can buy, it has its own parachute.
Was an easy sell to the wife.
Always enjoy these real life videos. I can fly my make believe flight sims ( X-Plane 12 ) more realistically which make them more fun and instructive. Thank you for posting and look forward to more of your flights.
Thanks pal. I’m a big fan of XP12. It has the most realistic flight model IMHO. I flew a C172 through a snow storm and XP12 simulated induction icing. Anyway thanks for the support! ✌️🤙
Really enjoyed that. Very professional pilot. I sit my PPL exam Thursday this week with the flight test to follow soon. All the best Deren from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks mate! Chookas for the big day!
Nice video. Really good balance of showing the flight without it being boring.
Thanks Josh!
Just found your channel. Thanks for taking us along on many wonderful flights. Really great videos! Thank you, and stay safe.
Thank you Giorgio! Appreciate the support!
Awesome! Thank you for your videos. I'm a newbie PPL holder and I love the way you include all of the pertinent radio calls and everything lines up in context with the audio. EXCELLENT CHANNEL!
Thanks pal and blue skies. 🤙
Love the videos and your plane! Keep it up brother 👍🏻
Thx pal! ✌️
That's what its all about, just hopping in your plane and going to get a bite to eat. You are blessed Sir! Although your tail number means luck, I would have to say you "seized" your "luck". 😀😋
Thanks Shane! ✌️
Great video that really shows the perks and safety of GA. Your buddies were loving it, stay safe!
Thanks 👍
Slow Asian Driver.....I like the handle and I enjoyed this video. Congratulations to you on the level of success you have achieved to be able to take two friends to dinner on a short hop by air in such a nice plane.
I subscribed. Good luck in all of your future endeavors.
Thanks so much Dave! Appreciate the support.
I sure do love your videos. You seem like such a nice guy!!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks pal!
Love the videos! Keep up the great content
Thanks pal!
Great video. You make it look so easy. Very busy on the radio. Excellent flying.
Thanks Ian!
11:35 - LOL. I remember having two passengers that were continuing to chat on final approach -- quick wrist flick of a knob - done!
My wife is worse…I flip the switch then she asks why am I tuning her out. 🤣
Wow, flying to dinner with friends...thanks for the video, very well done!
Thx Kevin! ✌️
So far, my favorite thing about a Cirrus is A/C. It's so underrated holding short for a few landings in July
How did I (we) flew planes without a/c is beyond me. 🤣
Enjoyed the video. Nice to see your professionalism.
Thanks Tony ✌️
Very nice. It’s always a pleasure to see some class.
Thanks pal! ✌️
Great video John! Thanks for sharing your adventure. Love backseat Steve! Being from BOS, I can relate. Lol!
Thanks pal! I trust a guy that curses like a sailor over a smooth talker any day. ✌️
Great video! I hope your friend John gets back into the cockpit and finishes his PPL.
Thanks Russ! I know he’s getting the itchy after our flight. Fingers crossed.
Smooth and very competent flying.......great job and good video.......all the pilots on here now want a Cirrus........
Thanks pal! 🤙✌️
FRG where I learned to fly. That Cirrus has a serious avionics package.
I’m a asian pilot too lol. just got my ppl months ago at KHFD. Trying hard on IFR ground stuff now. The advanced cockpit Cirrus got is so amazing, hope i can sit in one cool cirrus one day. thank you for the GREAT video!!!
小陈， 谢谢您的支持。祝您考IFR成功！ 后会有期。
@@SlowAsianDriver 哇！不知道您也说中文！很惊喜！谢谢您的鼓励！！！
Please stay in touch. I’m on IG under the same name.
@@SlowAsianDriver Will do! Time to redownload my IG! lol
Man it reminds me of flying with my friends to dinner at Scottsdale and coming back in Scottsdale at night over the huge Valley of the Sun Phoenix with the lights as far as you can see. Sometimes it would be dead calm and we just fly right over the runway midfield after 9 o’clock and the tower was closed hang out left which would put us on a left downwind for runway three Scottsdale. Those nights I was flying diamond star DA 40 witch had incredible visibility. Double canopy that came almost all the way down to your waist. Had a stick instead of a yoke which I loved and a G1000 set up.
Night flight is just magical.
@@SlowAsianDriver It really is. When I was getting my Private I would not wait until the night flying part
Excellent video! Great job!
Thanks pal.
Thanks really interesting to see what you pilots have now with the glass systems. Enjoyed the ride!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow I wish TH-cam recommended this video sooner. Really great video.
Thanks William! 🙏
Great job! Loce your videos!!! Thanks!
Thank you Rodolfo! ✌️
Pretty cool, as someone sitting for PPL soon, quite encouraging to see such stuff!
Thx Anand and good luck with your PPL.
Thanks for sharing your adventures. I remember renting PA 28 from Flightways school in FRG in mid 90s and flying for a day trip to Bader airport in Atlantic City. it was very short runway like 2600 feet they closed that airport in 2006.
Thank you Frank, glad you enjoyed the video. I wish Bader is still open.
Doin' it right!
Dat mozzarella was friggin' awesome!
We lost 50 lbs of useful load after eating there. 😂
You set a great tone with your comm with ATC and towers. Nice job, let's see more!
Thanks pal!
What a great video showing start to finish for an IFR conducted flight. I sent to my students to watch.
Thanks Gerry! I truly feel sorry for your students to have me as an example...lol.
@@SlowAsianDriver Not at all! Many of the things you do in the cockpit are what I have been teaching them (they are primary) - and we fly in a Cirrus SR20-G6 which has the exact same colors as the one in the flight. Really excellent demonstration of radio skills, IFR technique, safety, checklists, landing, etc. Not only is your video a great example for them, but it also shows how fun it can be to have the freedom to fly somewhere like that with friends. Atlantic city is a perfect airport for our cross-country flights, so we'll have to do something like that. I'll need to remember that restaurant.
Cafe 2825 is off the chart. Reservation is a must as they are typically booked a week (if not weeks) in advance. Thanks again for the kind words and feel free to hit me up if you come by KFRG. My IG is the same as the channel name. Cheers!
Wish I had a friend like you :)
Great flight and video! Thanks for sharing! -Beth
Thanks Beth! Love your vids as well.
That was my reaction when I did my discovery flight... rotation comes so quickly. Love the SR22, such a little rocket.
Great plane…until you fly a jet. 🤣
@@SlowAsianDriver I know what you mean, for what we do, the SR22 is perfect. Bouncing around New England and the occasional trip to FL. I don't know if I would ever move up to a Vision though, then again never know what the future holds.
Love your videos bud. Keep adding more
Thanks Moe!
I fly out of FRG too , being trained on a Cirrus 2022 just came out of Factory. Hopefully get to fly with you one day, I love hitting those spots.
Shoot me a msg on IG and we'll connect.
5th video if watched and finally read your youtube name and it makes it even better! It earns an instant subscribe.
Lol. Thank Zach! ✌️
You area a very good/accomplished pilot.
Thx pal.
This isn't even the same game at all as flying an older "training" airplane. Great video!
Thanks pal. 🤙✌️
When I started flying, the $100 hamburger was attainable. Great way to use an aircraft.
It’s truly a shame that flying is becoming prohibitively expensive for many.
Entertaining video. I did my primary training in Atlantic City at Bader Field in the late 70’s. We called KACY, NAFEC back then.
Wish that airport is still open.
Love your videos, hope to see you back out towards Southeast Ma. sometime, I live next to KTAN.
Thanks so much Sean!
Amazing!!!!
Thank u!
Impressive! I wish I could talk that fast! 🤣 Great vid!
Lol…was the espresso. Thx pal. ✌️
Wow. That thing really does take off quickly.
Doesn’t use very much runway for sure. 👍
I enjoy your videos and become a subscriber today
Excellent video and dinner!
Thx pal.
Great night video flight
You are doing great, man! Your friends must be happy :)
Thx pal! Yes they enjoyed the plane very much.
@@SlowAsianDriver and what is your flight time pic on this plane and overall? your doing great very professional
I have 400 total and about 180 in the Cirrus.
too cool !
Thanks pal! ✌️
Awesome video.
Thx pal!
Great to see the close captioning for the comms. Student pilot here. Thanks.
You are welcome and glad it was helpful.
So cool!!!! Also, that’s a lot of buttons!
Thanks pal! It’s almost as complex as understanding a woman. 🤣
@@SlowAsianDriver …. almost 🤷♂️
Flying back wit a full belly has to suck! Time for a nap and your IFR!!🤣🤣🤣
The struggle was real. 😂😂😂
You can remind John that HorizonHobby has an awesome SR22T RC =) Same color as yours. My favorite hobby. That will get him re-inspired to finish his license maybe..
Haha great idea!
Nice Video from the other Red Cirrus on the KFRG field N131HF
Thanks Howard! See you around pal! 😀
Beautiful.plane
Thx Martin!
Wow that’s amazing why couldn’t I have a Asian dad like you 😂 that’s my dream of flying!
Nice job! Took a lesson in a Piper with LIA recently out of Republic. I would need a nap after that meal though.
I’m hangared right across from LIA. Who’s your CFI?
@@SlowAsianDriver nice! Matt Ehrlein, super nice guy.
Hello from a fello pilot, I see my house at 8:49. Come say hi at KISP sometime!
🤙rock n roll pal! 🤙
Awesome lifestyle ....enjoy
Thanks pal!
Thank you so much for all your great videos, I've been following you since we've met in the Founders room in the Paramount. I'm over at Nassau Flyers, if you know anybody looking to partner up in a shared SR22 let me know.
Keep up the good work with the videos
Thanks so much pal! Would you shoot me a msg on IG or gmail? Same name as the channel.
It feels like a fine sports car
Sure does. ✌️
You are a good pilot
Thx pal!
The Cirrus looks much larger/beefier/roomier in person, yet still sleek.
It has one of the widest cabin interior for sure. I recall reading somewhere that the cabin’s dimensions are based off a BMW 3 series. Very comfortable cabin that doesn’t feel claustrophobic.
I always listen to ATIS on my phone, then call ground to save money
Great video.. am starting my school to train on Cirrus in two months. Working now on ground school material to get that out of the way first.
Did you get a chance to check out Cirrus' Learning Portal? There are many great modules. Best of luck!
@@SlowAsianDriver no I haven’t,, would love to, do you have any recommendations?
This is the learning portal:
learning.cirrusapproach.com/learning-catalog
See if your flight school can give you complimentary access to the courses. Good luck.
@@SlowAsianDriver thank you!
Did you learn on a Cirrus or on a steam gauge plane and transition? Great videos. One last thing, I could be mistaken, but aren’t you supposed to remove the CAPS cover and pull the pin prior to departing?
Fellow COPA member here, great job through the New York air space and wonderful food! What iPad/pen are you using? I’m looking to upgrade. Thanks and keep the great videos coming.
Hi Bill, I have an iPad Air and an Apple Pencil. Very easy to copy clearance in Foreflight. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Email is the channel name at gmail. 🤙✌️
@@SlowAsianDriver Thank you, I will email you. Safe flying.
nice :))) 5:30 caps cover
Pin was removed, but the Cover tends to fall off if only partial velcro’ed…and if you wedge it, the placard tends to get damaged.
Awesome video! I just started pilot training one month ago on a Cirrus SR20 G6+. How long did it take you to feel sufficient on your Cirrus? Envious....
Thanks pal! It wasn’t long to feel proficient but you are always learning when it comes to flying.
Little heavier heading back. 🙂
💯😂
Every time some says “In the Box” a baby seal dies.
...and a lot more will meet their demise...lol.
Great video.
What cameras are you using ?
Also how did you connect the one in the back looking forward ?
Thanks
Thanks Jose! I have a GoPro Max in the front and Hero 8 in the back. Hero 8 is mounted to the Oxygen Port through an adapter.
@@SlowAsianDriver I hate to bother you, but would you happen to know which adapter.
Thanks
Thanks for the prompt response. Can’t wait to fly..
Terrible flying weather in South Florida
Stay safe this weekend my friend. Btw the adapter was made by someone on the Cirrus Forum. Just do a search on COPA and you’ll find it. If not, please hit me up on IG and I’ll see what I can do.
If he hasn't flown in 15 years I don't think it's question of finishing his license, he'll need to start all over.
True.
No room, I'll keep my 06 Saratoga 2 TC. I am 6`3 and can stretch out, nice.
Any reason your CAPS controls weren't uncovered? Great vid!
Thanks Jeff. The CAPS placard is a mandatory item that must be displayed…some people like to wedge it but I just put it back on the Velcro.
👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Capt Curt!
great video！ what is the current lead time for a new Cirrus SR22 ？
It around 18 month and thank you.
Great video what was the name of that restaurant?
Cafe 2825 and thank you!
I bet the guests were the cirrus owner bosses or something.:)
…and what makes you think that? they are my friends we don’t work together.
Not me brother… I would love to catch a ride with you before I move down to Florida. It would kind of be like a pre-curser to my lessons, if you will.
Always happy to help. But do know that once you fly the Cirrus it will spoil you 😂
Does the SR22 series have an autofeather feature or any way to feather the prop after an engine out?
Prop pitch is controlled by engine driven oil pump. If you lose the engine, the prop is automatically feathered.
Does the plane record communications with atc or is that a device you have in the aircraft when you played it back?
It's a feature on the G1000.
Great Video..but i cringe every time i see someone doing checklists while taxing. :-)
Agreed & appreciate the feedback. Our field is so busy, there’s no run up area at the end of this runway and there were a few jets behind me. Just wanted to be considerate. ✌️
@@SlowAsianDriver Context matters for sure. Its just so easy though to become complacent at other fields. Fly Safe. 👍
@JohnandDiane Fitch I mean, as long as you have a good crosscheck. How do you think charter, airlines, military, etc. function? As long as you're in an uncontested area... Different strokes for different folks I guess...
Happens all the time at the airlines.
Interesting thanks, control check you didn’t actually look at ailerons etc, I was trained too do so…? Laurie NZ.
We do too. Both pre flight and pre take off we physically inspect aileron attachment, counter weight and make sure it movement is free and clear. I may have already did it and was just checking off the digital checklist.
@@SlowAsianDriver Hi, yes I understand the preflight physical check but I think the idea of looking when moving the controls in the cockpit meant I was seeing if I had full range on control surface movement and in the right directions. You could have a partial jam on either side etc which the walk around check doesn’t pick up. Then its not until near or at lift off that you find out there is a problem. I have found in another area related to flying that these safety habits do pay off. I would rather see your flying channel continue thanks and not be a statistic. Best Regards. Laurie
@@SlowAsianDriver fyi I once forgot to set take off flaps on the Cardinal RG I was piloting and didn’t notice until during the take off run and cant recall now if I carried on for a no flap takeoff or popped them down. 3 POB btw…I hadn’t done the pre take off check methodically as I recall…
All valid points of course and thank you!
checklist while taxing???
Yes b/c out of consideration for the 2 jets behind me. Our airport gets very busy.
It always amazes me when people get an opportunity to fly somewhere in a private aircraft be it prop or jet and yet nearly always can not put down their mobile phone, not to take pictures but to scrawl through messages or to text someone. FFS put the bloody thing down, get a life and enjoy the experience that many of us can only dream of!
💯. Sometimes the newer generation feels social media life trumps real life.
Good video. Remove "thanks" to tighten up phraseology
thanks...and wilco :)
The guy on the right cant put down his phone. He s unable to be present.
he's just like my kid...sometimes it's easier to get his attention by texting...even though he's sitting right next to me. smh
He s missing the best. Btw, found your videos. Love them and told my wife how life in the US allows you to live incredibly good and rewarding lives. Well done and keep flying, and recording for us to be jealous.
Thanks so much for the support. The rewarding life style is built on sweat and tears. :)
