Thanks very much for this video Chris, its always good to learn more about the engineering functions of the Cirrus class/type of aircraft from an experienced person like yourself. l am delighted to subscribe to your channel now to learn more over the years as you post more videos..
I’m taking delivery of a G7 in January so trying to learn as much as possible about the systems and watching lots of videos - this is the most informative video for where I am in my training that I’ve seen. Thanks!
The propeller governor isn't monitoring anything. It's not doing anything automatically. The prop cable is connected to your throttle under the center console and when you move the throttle the cam assembly under the center console built by Cirrus is mechanically moving the prop cable. Cirrus did the engineering on that so you don't need to physically adjust the prop yourself
Fuel doesn't come out of engine pump directly into the fuel distribution block (flow divider) it comes out of engine pump, thru flow transducer, into unmetered and low idle mix control then into the flow divider into injector lines
Scott, thank you for sharing your experience. This video is to help the low time pilot who doesn't necessarily have detailed technical experience to have a deeper understanding of their new SR systems. You may have never had a fuel cap installed backwards or come off, but as a SR-22 owner and CSIP I have seen this happen at FBOs. I believe it worthwhile sharing the possibility of a fuel cap being installed in such a manner that the airflow might cause the cap to become unlatched and the cap falling off the aircraft airborne, better safe than sorry.
That is not the manifold pressure sensor you hand is on. The manifold pressure sensor was under your palm on top of the intake manifold. It has wire coming out of it.
Scott, thank you for being so astute. Like my previous reply, these videos are designed for the low time, new Cirrus owner to have a deeper understanding of their new SR-22 or SR-20. Pilots new to an airplane do not need to build it; they need to understand what makes their aircraft work to assist them in the rare situation something fails. Most new Cirrus owners share learning the SR-22/20 is like drinking from a firehose, so I find it valuable to meter how much information and detail I share.
Great job! Keep them coming...
Chris and the entire team at PRP are Top Notch !

All the very best on the acquisition of your Cirrus G7 this year West, which model will you be getting the SR 20 or SR 22?
Very interesting and useful.
One of the best videos I have seen explaining engine systems on the SR22!
Excellent video! Thanks for doing it. Don’t let the naysayer discourage you. Please make more informational videos.
Excellent video. Always good to know and understand aircraft systems
Good job explaining the system on the sr series
Excellent and informative video, thank you for uploading
So helpful! Thank you.
Great video Anthony and Chris!
Excellent video, thank you
great info, thanks

Great stuff!

The TKS cap needs a key to open. How are people confusing them? The TKS drain is also different style.
I've worked on at least 500 SR series aircraft. Never have I had a customer loose a gas cap in flight
