- Its taken me along time to develop grace and a steady hand in a Cirrus Aircraft SR! It makes a huge difference in how the airplane feels and sets a great tone for the flight you are about to embark on. Hopefully you can use these 3 ideas on bringing a smooth steady hand to your Cirrus flying. Here are my best tips!
1) Ultra fine movements in the throttle!
2) Using one hand to utilize the headset straps!
3) The smallest wrist movement when rotating in a Cirrus!
These fine tune adjustments will hopefully make a huge difference in your flights. Let me know what you and always share your ideas in the comments below! Its AWESOME when you do!
Great tips like always Al. How about a short video on volume controls. Ie: atc volume control, passenger to passenger volume, satellite music volume control etc
Ooooo! This will be a good one!
I support this message
Excellent tips, Al!
Tricks of the trade, thanks for sharing!!!
Keep the tips coming. Love them and I do take notes.
Awesome! I'd love to see the note book!
Love your tips, very helpful
Thanks much! Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic tips. Thank you.
Now, to learn how to fly!
Why I love vernier controls.
Great videos! Thank you for all you do for Cirrus pilots.
Glad you like them! Thank you for watching and commenting! Its very meaningful to me!
I always like your tips. The power lever and grip Ive learned in my G5. Your pro tips on door closing from the outside is a must know, and the exterior cleaning tips were really good.
Awesome glad you find the tips helpful!
About to transition to the SR20 for the trek to KOSH this year. I have my Piper throttle grip where my the side of my wrist rests on the quadrant base for fine movements of the throttle. Good to know the Cirrus tips. Thanks for sharing.
I’m going to purchase a SR-22 as so as I can. Looks so sweet.
Great Tips Al. My fav was the rotation hand technique. Nice!
Oscar you are awesome! Glad you found that to be helpful!
Great tipo, bro!
Very nice!
Thanks!
GREAT VID WATERLOO this is a good tip
Glad you enjoyed it
Good tips, especially on hand/yoke finesse.
For the throttle I line my hand alongside the Mix and “fine tune” the power with the tips of my index finger and thumb. For the headset I have a bungee chord hanging between the visors so my front headsets are hanging right in front.
Great tip! That is so good! I love it!
Great tips Al. At some point could you cover your method for trimming out the Cirrus.
Wow is a good idea
Glad you like it!
Hi! great tips! On a modern Aircraft like the SR22T, it's a pity that Cirrus don't offer an up to date
engine with real FADEC single lever control.
Amazing tips ! 💥💥 , I’m wonder if you can make a review of the new arrivee special edition ! Could be great !!
Coming soon! Great thing!
Al, another great video with noteworthy tips-as usual. BTW, what kind of glasses do you have on at the end of the video?
I am a huge fan of the Oakley Holbrooks! Awesome flying glasses - for me at least.
It was 65 at KHGR, just saying. Great video.
Hello Capitan, I will Switch position of the Bose HP with your co-pilot and always get your HP first not to tangle. I think this is much easer then your method. What do you think? On the SR20 2017 they are positioned upfront in the ceiling.
Hi Al, great videos you re making, very helpful. I m learning this plane via XPlane 11 and the Torquesim SR22 which is awesome a reproduce the whole G1000 and perspective avionics. Coming from steam gauges is a huge change for me.
Could you make me a favor? I m building a full Cirrus cockpit for home flight simulation (from RealSimGear).
This would be really helpful if you could provide me the following next time you fly your beautiful SR22:
Circuit breakers panel (total width x height), width of each of the columns of the circuit breakers, height from floor to bottom of the main instrument panel, CAPS handle cover total length (from bottom to top of the cover).
Many thanks in advance, have safe flights and Happy New Year!
I will definitely work on getting some of this over to you. Awesome you are building a sim - it is so good! I am a big fan of simulators myself too!
Great video Al. I flew an SR20 [my first Cirrus flight] a couple weeks ago. I thought the biggest issue would be the side stick, nope, it was the ground handling and castor nose wheel. Any video you would want to do on that would be appreciated.
The castoring nose wheel is very easy to steer if you do not ride the brakes. The wheel will respond to the smallest brake inputs so just lightly tap them to go straight. The key is to control taxi speed...keep the RPM as close to 1000 and below as you can. On your takeoff roll use rudder only, do not tap the brakes to correct steering. This requires applying the throttle slowly enough to keep the torque down, yet allow enough prop wash to enable the use of the rudder to stay straight.
I can come up with a few things that could be helpful. Have you found any progress with your taxiing?
I have close to 100 hrs in my SR22 and taxiing is still my only issue
@@viewerad As you sit in the left seat there is a large knob on the front of the console on the right side. It is used to set the tension of the throttle and mixture control. You should set that friction so the throttle is moves freely yet stays where you position it. Before taxiing make sure your flaps are at zero. And make sure your heels are on the floor and your toes are able to just tap the tops of the pedals (the brakes). Don't suspend your feet on the pedals. You should rev the engine enough to get the plane rolling then pull it back so your RPM is about 1000 to 1100 or so, that rate of roll is about right (add less on an incline, more on a hill). Think of your brakes as a steering wheel, tap left and you go left, tap right and you go right, but only TAP, do not press hard, feather the brakes, don't stand on them. When you want to spin around simply pull the throttle back while you tap and hold one side or the other. And if you slow too much to make the turn add a little throttle but keep your foot lightly on the brake in the direction of turn. Go out into an open ramp area and practice it for a while till you can do it all without thinking. Then you are ready for the takeoff roll where you DO NOT USE THE BRAKES, but instead push the bottom of the pedals and use rudder only to keep the plane aligned. That maneuver should be the most difficult but it is critical to get that skill if you want to save your brakes. Same applies to the landing roll, once on the runway do not stand on the brakes, only tap and feather them and keep your flaps down full until you get to a manageable roll before exiting the runway. Never force the plane off the runway, the nosegear won't take it. The final tip? Keep your tires inflated, check them monthly.
@@speedomars Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write all that. It has been frustrating I have to admit. While trying to maintain a straight line during taxi my plane always tends to turn so my option is to apply opposite braking and you can imagine what happens next. Regarding the throttle movement, I don't have an issue with that. However, you did get me thinking about how much power I'm applying and maybe I'm going much more above 1000 rpm for taxi. I'm going to copy/paste your text into my notes and will give your tips a shot. Thank you again
Al what is the purpose of the detent I find it effecting the smooth throttle movement
Darn Al I wanted to firewall it like on the B17
That sounds like so much fun!
The worst is the huge desert area of empty space between full power and 45% that you have to go thru after a climbout and reentering the pattern.
True! There is definitely muscle memory behind that. I notice it when flying an SR22 and SR22T.
