The wheel pans are a signature of an SR22. One of the cool things this airplane has. They look very retro and it’s a really distinctive feature.
Just purchased/ordered 2022 SR22T, thank you for the very detailed video showing all the details
Nice! I like the half marathon tribute 👍
Thank you! It’s fun to get creative with the tail numbers! Awesome to see your running stories as well!
The sr22 is a great looking plane but this one is really special. This thing is tricked out and really so cool to look at.
Awesome video. I am a student pilot. Hope I will own a SR22 one day.
Keep working at it and you will!
Same
MAn I wish more people would do videos like this. We dont just want to see flying vids we want to see features of a plane. Thanks for this vid.
Glad you enjoyed!
I agree. It’s a cool video. The flying ones are ok with me they get a liiittle boring sometimes so these types of videos are pretty cool to watch.
a lip ya who
Peanut butter gut. Oh man with the purple and peanut butter, that’s “peanut butter and jelly”. That’s the nickname of that jet!!!!
Bel video, la prossima volta Cirrus Vision Jet.
The colors are really awesome. Purple is very different and very cool on that SR22.
Really appreciate the detail my friend. Was nice to get a thorough walk around. Thank you.
such a beautiful aircraft...and its performance is even better. I like "The Joker". Please continue with the vids of this awesome aircraft!
helping to get you to 100K !
Love this vídeo. We are part of the Cirrus family too . We are thrilled with our new acquisition the Vision SF 50 . # 81 in the production line . Worth the wait. Simply amazing planes . Once again thanks for your videos . We will follow you from now on . 👍🏼
Thank you very much! Welcome to the family, you are going to have a blast with the plane! How long ago did you take delivery? Appreciate the follow.
I hope one day in my life I get to own a Cirrus SR22. Thanks for the tour! I really enjoyed it and watched the whole thing! :)
14:20 chipped purple paint on the windshield caling.
If you'll get a paint code and have cirrus send you a touchup bottle it should keep it from peeling further.
Definitely beautiful plane!
Glad you love the purple!
Al, I watched this entire video! I love this airplane! Cirrus really knows how to make a great airplane!
Awesome! It has so much personality! Come on out and take a look at it!
Best looking SR22 I've seen! So many great features that I wasn't aware of, such as the ice light. I had a Saratoga II TC and was flying over the NC mountains in February and had to keep shining a flashlight on the wing to ensure that no ice was forming. Very distracting.
Love that Purple paint 💜
I never get enough of Cirrus walk arounds. Love all the content you are putting out.
Thanks! Always open to suggestions!
That has to be my favorite Cirrus ever! That build quality is amazing!
Glad you like this David! I wish you could smell the new plane smell!
Al Waterloo KHGR when your in the area!!
Al Firstly GREAT VIDEO - as from 1 pilot to another I appreciate the time and trouble it takes to do this , so really well done. I though have 1 HUGE CONSIDERATION in buying this plane ( like the senior captain also mentioned below ) if one spends 1 million dollars you really HAVE TO HAVE pressurization! For the same amount of money one can buy an used eclipse 550 Jet which has an extremely low fuel consumption of 50 gallons per hour / is fully pressurized / AND CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FLYS at over 40 000 ft, so it is well above the weather. Besides one flys at twice the speed of 350 knots. Of course this is comparing a brand new product vs a 15 year old product, yet with all the avionics updated the luxury of a second hand jet and all the benefits mentioned I MAY go for an ECLIPSE WITH ONE SINGLE EXCEPTION SAFETY!!!!!!!!! HERE they have been very clever with the parachute system and that swings it because nothing an make up for this safety feature. To date over 173 persons have been saved with their parachute system. In conclussion i agree with the former comment - they must put pressurization in and weather radar for the same price of 1 million dollars - their really is a gaping hole for these 2 factors. On a positive note though I still think your aircraft is awesome from performance/style/ease of avionics and if it is not a vital business tool one does not really want to be flying in bad weather in anycase. WELL DONE TO A METICULOUS VIDEO AND YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL - I WOULD FLY WITH YOU ANYTIME BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WILL PUT SAFETY FIRST!!!!!!!!!!
There is no NEW pressurized piston aircraft for $1m bucks. In fact, the ONLY pressurized piston single on the market is the Piper M350 and it starts around $1.4m. If you want pressurization ya gotta get into the $2m range with a jet-prop or a light jet.
Thanks so much for the comments and discussion! It is so much fun putting these together. Its great! Hope our opportunity to fly together comes to light one day. I understand there are definitely different options out there that are cheaper and much more airplane. The value proposition is just a bit different on those airplanes versus for the Cirrus and the typical owner. Keep in mind that many owners only fly 100-150 hours a year and have other commitments so staying current in a bigger airplane is a big deal. There are also a lot of fringe areas that we don't often associate aircraft values like parts, warranty, service and training networks and OEM support.
We plan to buy our first Cirrus soon, your videos are a big help!!!
Great Video!! finally so many years waited for that way of presenting of a plane, to be able to watch a video about my favorite plane and presented it as it is a normal road car with explenation of every detail. ;) One day I will have it. Thanks
Those wing lights are pretty awesome. This airplane is pretty freaking awesome. Great job showing it in detail! Love this video.
Al - great job with this video; I know they take a LOT of work to produce, and you did a terrific job. Will look forward to your others!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment that. Very meaningful to me and helps motivates me to make others! Thank you!!!
Hey Al, thanks so much for your videos. They're awesome and I love them. Keep it up. I'm now a subscriber.
The purple is so pretty!
Guys and Gals, don't down and laugh at me so hard but I just got into "flying" with Flight Simulator 2020 and the Cirrus SR22 is my favorite plane in MSFS2020 -- the plane I exclusively select and this video is a great Great GREAT highlight of the plane. Good job Mr. Waterloo....top shelf presentation. Back to more flight sim flying :-)
I got my start on MSFS! I think its totally cool. Keep flight simming!
Great video. I had no idea that this plane had a full deicing system. Keep up the good work.
love these planes. I saw one just like this in person and it was amazing.Just sat in it and walked around the plane. Wish they were less expensive but can understand why they are the price they sell for.
Al..excellent and very detailed tour....nice.....
Great video, Al. Thanks.
Thanks for watching
Love the video! Great job showing the aircraft. Really enjoy the content. New sub right here!
Great walk around! I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for posting it :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for details walk around aircraft...👍👍
Enjoyed your video. Very thorough, great content!
Glad you enjoyed.
What an absolutely beautiful aircraft. Love the color scheme. Thanks for taking the time to show the plane. Would love to take a trip in one sometime. If your ever going to be in the Phoenix area, message me. Would love to see the plane in person. I'm not far from KDVT. It's where I did most of my flight training.
Awesome Brad! I will let you know when I’m around, always enjoy linking up! Thank you for reaching out!
Thank you. Your tour of your airplane was useful and very informative. Bottom line for me is I am getting close with my finances to finally buy a new 2021 Cirrus SR22T instead of a used one. I do fly in icing conditions and would sure like to know your personal experience using the ice removal system on your airplane.
Awesome! I’m glad this was helpful and that you are close to getting one for yourself!
Best SR22 review I have seen,!!!
Thank you! Would love to do more of these. If you have some ideas what you would like to see, just let me know!
I Like “Purple Sail” way to sweet
Excellent review, thank you.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. Always open to new ideas!
The purple cookie monster is still my favorite color scheme!
Love it so much!
Just thinking aloud 😃 I wander what performance figures a SR22 would return if equipped with the same or slightly more powerful FADEC equipped Jet A1 burning engine found on the new Diamond DA 50 RG.... just saying...
Excellent tour!
Can't wait to see your SR22T!
This is great!
excellent for my CFI course thanks from colombia south america.
Great video. Keep up the good work
Thank you!
Amaziiiing video! Appreciate all the details. It looks like it would be great to fly it!
Thank you! Hope you get to fly one soon!
Судя по всему, хороший самолёт👍. Полетать бы на нём... Мне он очень понравился. Вот даже на такой малютке стоит автопилот! 😁👍
I really loved watching this video. This is one of my dreams, to be a pilot and have this plane ... for now I don't even have a bike lol
Awesome! I am so glad you want to be a pilot. Its so much fun and you'll realize that dream quickly! Keep at it!
Al, love the channel, question, is this tan interior the exact same tan interior offered in the GTS PLATINUM for the 2021 SR22T MODELS? Thank you Mark
14:11 you can see the damage from those taller tire chocks in the edge of the special clear film sticker that was designed to protect the wheel pan's
You have a close eye!
Fantastic video, watched the entire video, you sure have a cool job 😊😊😊😊
Glad you liked it! You are a hero for watching it all the way through!
That plane is coming to me at end of July courtesy of Mr. Sanderman. Awesome to get a look at it. I had the name Barney picked out for it!
This is awesome! Congratulations. You are going to love it so much. It has been such a joy and honor to fly! Can't wait to hear how you love it!
What do you use for the wingtip videos and in cabin videos? Garmin Virb Ultra? How are they mounted on the wing and in the cabin?
great tour.
Great video Al!
nice video. this my dream to fly on this airplane
Ok, I’m sold I’m buying one.
Awesome!
A few tips. 1. keep one key set of fob, cargo and ignition key on one ring, all other keys on another ring. this prevents damaging the dash area when using the ignition key. the other keys are rarely used also. 2. put your misc items in the baggage area like chocks, extra oil, sump tester and rags, spare headsets, oxygen kits and manuals in a snap-lock plastic storage box to keep them from rolling around and you can place the tow bar behind that bin also to keep it still is.gd/e7KKcH
Nice Airplane! The purple is not my color of choice but fit and finish has really came a long way!
I used to own a 2004 G2 Cirrus and you are right! The fit and finish is leaps and bounds different. Even year over year makes a BIG difference.
Great editing, sound and video quality!
Much appreciated!
Hey Al. Can you do a video of the four blade prop? Thanks and keep up the great videos
Hi Kurt! Thanks, have you seen my 4 blade prop review? Should be there on my chnnel!
Wow this was good viend my friend l,m for palacios texas
Glad you enjoyed it
you are the best!
Hello Al, I noticed that the vision jet has a ski tube in the cargo area...for skiers that like to bring their own equipment, how does the sr22 series handle this type of cargo? Could a ski tube be built into the sr22 at the time of manufacture or added later? Just asking...haven't received a response from the cirrus web site yet!
Beautiful video!!! Thanks!!:)
Glad you liked it!
My goal is to start my flight training Q-1 2021. Should a student pilot learn in an SR-22? Oh ya, what a beautiful plane your flying. I'd throw some gold in it for the Lakers.
Hi Mark! Definitely, a student can learn in an SR22. There are different ways to learn but there are a couple specific approaches to learning in a Cirrus. If you follow them you should have the outcome you want!
It’s almost cheating to use a Cirrus for primary flight training. It’s so easy to maintain altitude and attitude during steep turns, for one thing...roll in, trim back for a count of three and “let go “... it flies like it’s on rails....
How about some Hendrix: Purple Haze?
Why are the lights blue for the digits 8 & 9 for the transponder codes, does it actually allow you to input them?
You cannot add 8 &9 into the transponder but I think its just the functionality and logic of the keypad.
Al Waterloo it looks as if you can, it would make sense for them not to be blue to save a wrong input attempt. Probably on the next software update, I’ll suggest it to them!
Will Cirrus ever get a modern engine with FADEC like the Diamond airplanes do and use Jet A?
Wouldn’t that be awesome. I flew a 2018 built C172 on Monday that uses Jet-A, being a diesel vehicle lover it gave me warm fuzzies.
I can understand why! How was it?
I can say from my personal experience at Cirrus that we are always looking forward to add new technologies and make what we have better!
Europeans are big on Jet-A because they can't get 100LL. There is nothing special about the Diamond diesel engines. Rotax also has FADEC computer mixture control. Cirrus eliminated the prop control. All you need to do is control your mixture. I have flown Rotax planes with so-called FADEC management. They overheat at altitude due the computer getting the mixture wrong most of the time. Better to manually control rich and lean running.
as a pilot, one of my goals in life is after the mortgage is paid and i am debt free. i will buy an airplane just like this.
You and me both Kevin! We are on the same wave length, a goal to be debt free and then be able to peacefully own an airplane in cash! This will be awesome when we both get there!
I recommend that you keep the home mortgage and put the payoff money into a stock investment since mortgage rates are so low, its like free money to make good returns. In my humble opinion.
Having flown this aircraft for 4 yrs ,being a 737 captain ,and based on my 25 years of experience i must say that Cirrus aircraft is an excellent machine if you don’t intend to fly anywhere anytime. That is Cirrus has 2 huge limitations,one is its service ceiling of 24000 ft,making impossible to avoid bad weather under certain circumstances (therefore limiting its use) ,secondly,no carrying a weather radar ,( i understand that is a matter of space and weight,but if you are to fly IFR,no being limited by the weather conditions ,weather radar is a must..thirdly,not being pressurized (everybody must admit that flying with an oxigen mask could be fun for couple of times but it is a serious hassle).So when you first purchase a Cirrus as i did (like the one in this video),you firmly believe that you have an aircraft to manage in almost all situations,which turns out not to be true for all the issues forementioned.Taking into consideration its price (nearly 1 million dollars with all the extras) doesn’t cover my expectations (that it did at first but you always want to fly farther away and not being constricted by the weather.
So if your plan is flying under relatively good weather within the US territory that is your plane. But if you take into account the flying time,and all weather conditions you might consider purchasing a jet (i know i know is more expensive,maybe one second hand could do though),but jet A is much cheaper,it takes you much faster,and much higher ,avoiding all adverse weather,you don’t need O2 masks.The downside is maybe the maintenance,it is much more expensive than a reciprocating engine one but if you can afford it it is worth it. Cirrus is a very confortable plane i have enjoyed very much but it came to a point time that the money invested in it doesn’t allow you to fly at a certain destinations. Fly safe¡¡
Thank you for your thoughts. Its all about adopting the mentality fo the aircraft one is flying. The Cirrus does a lot of things right but its not the solution for situation like you pointed out.
You are misinformed. Cirrus single engine prop planes are NOT pressurized but the turbo version as shown in this video has a ceiling of FL25. The SR22T is indeed a cross country IFR machine far more capable than anything else in the piston prop space. It has FIKI deicing, onboard weather information including radar maps via NEXRAD. It also has both cannula and masks sourcing from onboard/built-in oxygen supply. The crew management system also has an auto-descent feature if the pilot becomes incapacitated in the flight levels. If you want to fly higher and with pressurization in a Cirrus then you need to look at the single-jet-engine VLJ Cirrus SF50.
Just go buy a Piper PA46-350 and 2 of the 3 must haves the 737 pilot listed will be met. All it won't do is go above 25,000 feet. At least you will have pressurization and not have to wear uncomfortable oxygen masks and you will have onboard weather radar that is instant and not satellite weather which is 20 minutes old data that will get you killed!
@@oneshotjohn1 The Piper Malibu and Matrix are laughably overpriced and antiquated. If you are gonna spend anything like $2m on a plane get the Cirrus SF50 light jet. It's ceiling is FL28. And it also has an all airframe chute. The panel is unique to the plane too, Garmin created a customize GTC 580 with three touchscreen controllers. It has the same realtime XM weather product as other aircraft in its class (the radar for it is in the nose instead of hanging from the wing in a giant pod as in the Pipers). The Nexrad weather is 5 to 8 mins max delay not 20 minutes and you can also get realtime XM weather in a Cirrus SR22 if you think you need it.
So what you are saying is...if you want to eat an orange, don’t buy an Apple!
The SR22 is not competing with or in the same category as a private jet. Not in performance, range, price, or hardly anything.
For a single engine piston it is awesome.
If you buy a purple airplane, I don't think you are thinking about resale value. You are really limiting the potential buyers. I guess if YOU really like it, and want to keep it forever...go for it. Personally, I like the older Cirrus paint jobs. They seemed to be more classy. Also...at 7:00, what's up with the seal around the wingtip landing light? It looks really sloppily done.
The purple is actually a really fun color and its been more popular than you think! When you get up close to it you'll see why. The other thing is that a certain person will definitely like it, the next buyer will love it too, they just gotta like purple! I'll take a look at 7:00. Thanks for the heads up.
@@al.waterloo It look like it's peeling away. Maybe my new 27" monitor is just too revealing!
Al, are the wingtip lights on the 2019 also? or is that a 2020 upgrade?
Very nice presentation! What time of day did you do your touch and go at KORD? What runway?
James Tochihara it was 28R! The controller offered us a runway preference. We were honored so much that we said whatever was easiest!
Into the purple
Love the Purple. It is so much fun. When people see it and are around it, really grows on them within seconds and they start seeing it!
Al Waterloo for sure. Hope all is well man.
Great review of the 2020 (I have a 2017 G6!!) Do you have a link for the wax you are using after cleaning? Can't find it on Amazon ! Thanks
Thanks for watching it! Glad it was helpful. The Polyglide is made by Arrow Magnolia and can be found on Sporty’s website.
You do not wax the plane. You use a waterless cleaner formulated for carbon fiber, fiberglass boats and cars. The windshield has to be cleaned using a plexiglass cleaner designed for it also.
Lindo, parabéns.
why am I getting stressed out about how long you left the batter masters on. how are the batteries not draining? you were down to 24.1 volts toward the end, don't you need 24 min to start?
ゆうた no need to feel stressed the minimum voltage needed to start is 23 volts! It’s important to monitor and make sure you don’t make a mistake draining the batteries!
@@al.waterloo Wow. I'm impressed. I'm a CFI transitioning into a G3 SR20 with Perspective, trying to figure this plane out and man it's one hell of a machine, coming from an Archer with a G500 and 430s. Any tips or tricks, or things to watch out for? - also thanks for the videos, really appreciate it!
I’m much more stressed out about the fact that this man flies around with the aircraft logbooks in the baggage compartment. My planes logbooks stay in a fire proof safe in my house.
Hey Al, watched the whole video also.. Cirrus really is the "Porsche" of small aircraft. I do have a product question. When will Cirrus make a pressurized version of the SR22T? Currently, in US general aviation. Piper's M350 is the only pressurized piston aircraft sold in the US. I think Cirrus could have a goldmine if they came up with a pressurized version of the SR22T. In my eyes it is a gaping hole in product offerings for Cirrus. Thanks.
Awesome! Thanks for watching. I know a lot is always on the table and this has been thought of and considered!
The price point would be interesting to see; pressurized SR22T vs M350.
Cirrus makes a pressurized aircraft...the 300ktas SF50.
@@speedomars A pressurized V-jet wasn't in the comment but the SR22T was. Always one in every crowd.
@@speedomars yes, i know. But I was talking about the turbo piston SR
Have you ever used Ceramic coating to protect the finish and ease the cleaning process?
I have not - its not actually endorsed by Cirrus. Too much variability in different processes and types of coatings. Can cause a lot static.
@@al.waterloo I haven’t heard that or had any issue with it. We use it on a Piper M600 and a King Air B200. It is great with those aircraft. It is also great on the interior.
Do you really fly around with your airplanes logbooks in the baggage compartment? I have never heard of anyone doing this as usually you want to keep the logbooks in a very safe and secure place where nothing can happen to them.
I would not recommend an owner flying around with their logbooks. Definitely want to keep them safe. We operate our airplanes a little differently. Since we are flying airplanes for only a few months and typically swap them with others, its important we keep them with the airplane. Once the airplane is delivered its important an owner keeps the logbooks safe.
@@al.waterloo thanks for the reply that makes more sense. Maybe one of those small document safes kept in the back of the airplane to make sure they stay locked and safe. I’m located in NC would love to fly over and check out the Skittles lineup on the ramp. What is the best way to get a tour of the Cirrus lineup?
Why the wings have two parts ?
That's a safety and performance feature. The outer portion of the wing is for low speed aerodynamics and the inner portion is for high speed aerodynamics!
Alan you need a push button in it like the vision jet for the auto landing.dont like the parachute I idea you could kill someone on the ground when it lands.but it saves the pilot I hope. Take care phil.
Great idea on that Phil! Thanks for the idea, very brilliant.
ขอให้พวกเราตั้งใจทำงานกันเพื่อประเทศชาติบ้านเมืองของดีๆราคาถูกลงเรื่อยๆอีกหน่อยก็คงได้แจกฟรีกันแน่นอนไม่ต้องห่วง
Do you like to rant out your aircraft for a period of time ?
I can smell that soft leather from here in Asheville
