First time you fly a SR20/22 there is no doubt a tendency to try and land "flat" if you are transitioning from other previous generations of light aircraft due to the different site picture. The best technique I was shown to get the flare right in a SR is to look three runway centre lines forward and continuing to raise the nose to the next three and the next there etc until touch down. It never fails to work.
The reason the sight picture appears to be a flat is how long the nose is on the Cirrus. The simplest way to get the sight picture is to do a few landings with the stick held back and allow the nose to fall on it's own. Do not release the stick until you feel the nose wheel touch.
What an awesome video. I will totally watch these as they come out! I appreciated the lighthearted humor, and, of course, I’m always looking for a way to get in that flying fix. I just started flying the SR20 G6 for my instrument training at school, transitioning from the C152/172 realm. What perfect timing! I have to say, with the Perspective+ avionics, gorgeous wingtip lighting, impeccable performance (even at our airport’s density altitude of 8500’+), and overall sleek design, you’ve truly designed a piece of art. I don’t think I will ever run out of good things to say about this airplane. 5 stars!
If you like these, you’ll love UND Aviation videos too. Let’s just say you’ll recognize the voice in a lot of the videos. Anthony is a fantastic instructor and all of his videos are this good.
@Cirrus Aircraft - big thumbs up for the quality information and entertaining presentation - very rare from an in-house corporate production. Great job all!
This question is very strange to me. We just took ownership of a new G7 last month and it was our first Cirrus. Magnificent plane. Flies like a dream. Compared to our Saratoga, it seems like it lands almost soft field every time. Nose up, stall horn going off and a gentle touch on the mains followed by a prolonged nose up then a gentle nose wheel landing. The Cirrus is the first plane that I have ever flown that makes landing easier and much more predictable. So no, it doesn't land flat.
I piloted the cirrus sr 22 for 7 years beautiful very modern bird, pity the maintenance costs can not such a modern product cost so much maintenance, and scary
@@Andrea.Gandalf Odd. You didn't mention you were in a far away land trying to maintain a product made in Minnesota. Fuel is high in Europe too...doesn't mean many do not still own and fly their own planes.
The sweet spot is building a plane with cabin doors on the back like a Bonanza so we can get some folding bikes in the thing. What the hell are you guys waiting for?
What the hell does the seat do with anything? I can change my seat mid flight and still grease the landing in a taildragger or Bonanza. I call bullshit

0:21 - 0:24 is so smooth
love the vision jet hopefully I can own one when I grow up.😎

Still the best episode
As a SR22T owner no one does these better than Cirrus. Everything presented is true and correct.
Keep these coming

Depends where you take your Cirrus for annuals and other fixes. Maint cost vary with each mechanic. My annuals on a 2016 SR22T are about $2k..
unfortunately in Italy the maintenance they charge a lot, I have an average of 12,000 euros per year

Thanks. Can never over learn.
Just became an airline pilot. Hopefully one day I'll be able to finally buy myself a Cirrus SR22

You can get anything you want into a Cirrus thats bigger than the baggage door by simply folding the front and rear seat backs forward.

That didn’t really help much Tony.
