INSIDE my Cirrus Cockpit - HOW I FLY A PLANE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ต.ค. 2024
- A tour of my Cirrus SR22 cockpit at 8,000 feet flying from Sydney to Melbourne. What do all the screens do? What are the buttons for? What do each of the switches do? Take a tour of the cockpit and watch how I fly this fantastic aircraft.
I fly a Cirrus Aircraft SR22 single-engine plane registration VH-EYZ. It's a 310 HP cruising machine which I often fly the 391 nautical mile trip from Melbourne to Sydney (and back). Ride along, hear air traffic control radio calls, and watch as I walk you through each of the main parts of the cockpit of this aeroplane.

Many radio calls and procedures have been omitted. If you have any questions about anything you see or hear, please speak to a Certified Flying Instructor first.
I’ve always loved the SR22 in every aspect, including the cockpit layout... This may be an unusual opinion but I really enjoy videos when pilots film their systems and instruments, I find it quite fascinating to see how advanced technology is nowadays!
Nick Aviation HD Likewise! You're not alone.
Same!
You're not alone :)
LOL. The first thing I looked for at the beginning was milkshake. And then... 0:24 .... replaced with milkshake's sidekick - Mr. Banana.
Always fun to get a guided tour of the cockpit.
Thanks for watching, sadly the one and only appearance of Mr B.
This video just makes me want a SR22 even more!
True
You’re my Favorite TH-camr! Not just a TH-camr, but a roll model in a topic I am passionate about (Aviation). I can’t wait to get my Aviation merit badge in Scouts. I play google earth pro on my school computer lol! My sister sometimes lets me play Microsoft flight sim but I can’t wait to be able to fly. Flight is something I’m just so compassionate about. Sorry for rambling on.
When I’m older I wanna be a pilot just like you
You can be! Start today, immerse yourself in aviation, start reading books, listening to LiveATC, hanging out at your local airport. Even if you don’t physically start flying yet, you can still get into the aviation world. Good luck with it.
Already am
Best pilot ever any way I live in Victoria and I always go to Melbourne airport
@@StefanDrury Yes I have the same plan as Jetstar Aviation! Currently a flight simmer and RC Plane geek
Also, as I said to another youngster here, get a flight sim (not flying/shoot em up games), joy stick/yoke and rudder pedals, they'll all help you get to your goal too.
Love the cockpit tour. I’d love to see a video on how you plan a flight with all the considerations of weather and airspace and radio etc.
Yep, calling up Adelaide Approach for taxi clearance instead of Parafield Ground...damnit...
Thanks to Mr. banana, now ive subscribed and clicked the notification bell. Hehehe.🤣 Awesome channel mate.
Nicely done - a concise walk through of a modern glass display. I just started using the Aspen 1000 and look forward to eventually flying in a full PFD/MFD environment like you have so this was very insightful and demystifying - thank you!
Great video Stef, Shane about Mr Banana ha ha ha. What a great setup you have should keep you safe on the big trip.
Really such a beautiful aircraft, wish i could fly that myself one day.
Took me time to train, study, and work hard to fly aircraft like this. If you want it too, work hard and keep practising and I’m sure you can do it too.
@@StefanDrury Will do capt. thanks for the advice, and I am doing my instrument rating currently, really looking forward to flying aircrafts other than Cessnas.
That’s awesome, IR is the best think I ever did, really changes your flying. All the best.
@@StefanDrury Oh man I agree. I'm having so much fun with IR more than I did with Ppl. Thanks alot Stefan, I'll be here throughout your journey. Be safe.
It's an older plane. These are old Avadyne panels. Today Cirrus has the Garmin NXi main panels and the GFC700 AFCS. 3d Audio. ADS-B in/out. XM and Sat phones. Nexrad or XM weather. The nav functions are inside the MFD, not a separate panely anymore. Perspective FMS is the center of the system now.
Awesome Aircraft!
Thanks Matthew.
Cirrus cockpits are nice. I've never seen the interior other than on youtube. However, the style and the "dashboard" materials reminds me of 90s GM interior.
That was excellent!! Sign me up! Stumbled across your page....had a good laugh but learnt heaps.
Just found your channel and I’ve subscribed 😇 thanks and I am really looking forward to your round the world updates . Enjoy and stay safe
Hey Phillip, welcome to the channel and thanks for subscribing!
Did a very nice job talking to YSCB tower instead of ground on a solo navex. Even better the CFI who was to do my PPL flight test a couple of weeks later was listening from another aircraft.
I always thought milkshake was the pilot, it appears i was wrong. Love your vids.
That only leaves the Banana
Really hope to get a ppl and such a beautiful plane someday! Greetings from EDLB, Germany 👋🏻
Excellent tour Stefan. Thanks.
First time watching... Mr. Banana told me to subscribe. R.I.P. Mr Banana
Great video run through for a new flying student, thanks Stef
Thank you for the quick tour Stef! One day I wanna fly a Cirrus as well ;)
Thanks for watching Daniel, hope you get into one soon for sure.
Great video Stef...all that tech...worthy of a 380 flight deck !! Probably not much different...thanks again mate !!
That was great! Easy explanation and informative!!!
Cheers Adam, thanks for watching.
nice video, man ! You re the best!!
No YOU’RE the best (and thanks). 👍
I'm interested to know what additional gear and/or gadgets you are intending to have onboard for your round the world trip?
Great question, thanks Paul. I’ll definitely cover gear in another video.
Entertaining, very informative.
Cool info. Nice plane.
great vlogs buddy and loved the cockpit tour. I was about to learn but on hold til things improve. great work
nice cot pit
hi Stefan, can´t wait for your full review of the recently released torquesim cirrus entegra, man!!!!
Very nice overview. I would love the inside of my Mooney to be that well organized!
Great video !
Can you please make a video on cost of maintainance of this plane.Would love to see that.
I love your presentation style. Have a sub
Thanks for subscribing, welcome to the channel.
Love the videos Stef!!
is it possible for you to set your screens to metric? degrees c, Liters per hour etc?
P.S. when are you bringing the chariot down to Tassie!
If you come anywhere near Ohio I would love to meet up with you and EYZ. Maybe have a cup of coffee and a chat. Anyway thanks for all you do for aviation and can't wait to follow you along this journey.
Really great video! Thanks Stef, been looking forward to this one!
Thanks Manu.
The new music is killing it .
Retro vibe kicking in, glad you like it!
Love the Cirrus planes. Got the chance to fly an SR20 display back from Tyabb the other day and it was awesome. Having not been in one for a bit it was a little overwhelming with how complex everything is but I got my head back around it pretty quick. Reaaallly want to get my hands on one now ;D
I'd love to get a Cirrus when I'm out of uni. The plane looks awesome plus my course includes pilot studies so money is the only object now!
What are you studying
@@Randomshorts421 aerospace engineering with pilot studies, I'm mentally drained
This won’t mean much to you. But I really appreciate your short descriptions on the IFD and especially the MFD.. there are several videos that show the database update for the EX 5000… But I could not find one on exactly how to scroll through the MFD… Thanks again.
Good job to show about detail on dash with monitors too. Thank thank. Do u really love cirrus sr22? What is different sr20 to sr22?
I know you pointed out the switches and just said what they did without showing which was which, but what do they do from left to right? Poor banana, murderer! LOL. Oh, it might be worth pointing out how the throttle and mixture controls work on a small plane, we are used to seeing them being moved on big jets, but for budding pilots it might be worth doing. It might be worth doing a basics video when you have the time, how all the controls work for those that want to know and budding young pilots. Keep the videos coming. Where are you planing to land on your round the world trip or is it just going to be "Let's see how it goes each day"?
Mr. Naa-naaa! Such a short time but you'll live forever in our TH-cam hearts, this is so sad 😭😭😭... So funny, good video
Thanks Andrew, it’s been a tragic weekend for the banana family, his siblings ended up in a loaf.
@@StefanDrury You murdered the whole family! Oh no, no more bananas!!!
Yeah I even did that yesterday afternoon, broadcast on Tower instead of ground for Taxi... but lucky the ATC at YBAF are awesome.
I did that on tower instead of delivery in CHC on Saturday, I had the volume for that one turned right down
So cool ! I'll be doing my PPL in an SR20 (pretty much similar I guess), thanks for the video. Can you do a complete flight setup from an airport to another one ? Showing how you start the avionics, enter GPS details, waypoints etc, starting the engine, take-off, flight, changing waypoints, approach, land and shut down please ? That would be awesome !! (Besides, no need to edit a lot if it's real-time and full length ;) )
Really good video and learned some stuff too!
Beautiful aircraft. I have an experience with c172 G1000.
G1000 is an awesome unit.
Flying without Milkshake is such a bad omen. Lol
Nice Aircraft - would love to see how those gopros of yours handle during a night flight.. try it out so we know before your world trip 🤓😉
I’m doing some night flying training before the RTW. Let me see if my instructor will let me film some.
I tried a GoPro 5 Black two or three years ago and it were very noisy. The footage was unusable. I hope the new models are much better.
Raise your hand if you've not only talked on the wrong radio and then heard, "you're transmitting on guard" from some nice ATC professional ... maybe more than once ... [*sigh]
how is the fire situation havent heard much in the last month not sure ifs its died off or just been taken over by covid news. also can wait for the round the world trip. im starting my flight training in september21 years in the making lol cheers
Very interesting and quite a few things to keep an eye on during the flight. Do you prefer Avidyne to Garmin ? Thanks Stef
Cracking aeroplane, very nice panel! I've had a few flights in fixed wing microlights and my buddy is training on them, they're at the other end of the scale, panel features wise (mostly) in the UK.
Ahh, the Cirrus, the flying car xD
MintyAviation Yes the panel and layout reminded me of that too, very nice. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a lottery win LOL!
@@musoseven8218 Hehe, same here!
Tbh looks kind of cozy
Good luck for your round the world trip. Will you come to NZ?
Did you report the murder of Mr. Banana?
Great video as always...
It was an Immediately Reportable Matter to CASA. A death (murder) in the cockpit is no joking matter, regardless how delicious.
Very informative, thank you.
Mr Banana 🍌 (or it’s offspring) will have to make a reappearance, then you can have a
“Banana Milkshake” combo copilot
Really interesting tour but don't you have stability control (post editing) ? I'm afraid the camera "turbulence" made me bail out.
Impossible to stabilise that in post production. As I put at the end, it was a bumpy flight so apologies for the bumps, but I thought it's more interesting to show in flight rather than just on the ground. But I appreciate the feedback.
Good to know I'm not the only one who's ever made a call on the wrong com, haha
Stef you are lucky that have too radios. Only one in our heli. So never on the wrong channel LOL or could happen once
Haha. It's great to have two radios for backup, and when flying IFR into an uncontrolled airfield (so I can listen to the CTAF as well as the area frequency at the same time. But for broadcasting, yeah it sometimes catches you out!
@@StefanDrury Oh I totally agree on that one. I flew a R44 with two radios. Got so spoiled but then again, I mostly fly in the bush with not many others around so one is ok :)
See you in Canada?
I'd really like to know how you mounted the camera on the ceiling. I saw in one video a red colored plate that looked to insert between the doors which had several mounts on it. I'm stuck figuring out the ceiling in my Cirrus. Thanks and keep it up!
It’s an NFlightCam mount screwed in to where the overhead light was (we removed that), with a Puluz aluminium cradle for the GoPro. We had an Engineering Order for the aircraft for the fitting which is CASA approved. Very solid and versatile mount.
@@StefanDrury Thanks! I'll have to call them. I don't see the cradle in any obvious spot on their website. The Cirrus is a tough one to find a spot overhead. I'm planning on starting a video series of flights I take with my son who has his license as well. I told him one day he can go watch youtube and look back on some good times! I have no idea how to use editing software so it will be a process with initial low budget look results but I'll give it a go.
Amazing! Some day I could do that...
Absolutely! If I can, anyone can.
Great tour of the cockpit! Have you flown the G1000 kit before? Which do you prefer?
Thanks, yes I’ve flown the G1000 and Cirrus Perspective. Amazing avionics for sure. I can do all I need currently with the Avidyne. But even just to get the new lean assist function on the G1000s (leaning to the blue line) would make upgrading worth it!
@@StefanDrury Sounds good!
G'day mate,
I have been enjohing watching your videos. Just a quick question.
If you lose your PFD, can you get any flight displays on the MFDs or is it straight onto your back up instruments?
As this is an older Avidyne setup, I don’t have the mirror option on newer Cirrus Perspective setups. So, you’re correct, I lose primary flight data and would go to my analogue standby instruments.
Thanks for the cockpit tour Stef. I know you are putting in extra fuel tanks for the RTW but are you having to do anything about oil capacity?
Carrying 6 quarts of oil at any one time in the back with me, but not upgrading the aircraft with a larger oil sump or larger oil filter (we can’t add the bigger oil filter due to the air conditioning unit). So I just need to stay on top of the oil levels and keep topping her up as / when required.
Can u do a video on how to use the mixture?
Neat Airplane...nice avionics! Sidesticks make it way easier to have an iPad on the knees...how many hours have you logged currently on this plane and PIC totally by the way? Thanks and happy landings! Cheers
Thanks Sebastian, I don’t really release details like total hours. Suffice to say it’s never enough. Thanks for watching.
Stefan, thanks a lot, 100% true statement!
This makes mi excited more tho 🥰😂😂
Amazing video Stef. The garmin screens underneath the MFD came as factory installed or you got it for yourself? Is there a subscription for Garmin as well to use their products?
I installed the GTN650s myself, there were two G430s there before. And yes there's a monthly database subscription through Garmin Pilot (the app) which I have to keep the navigation data up to date for IFR flying.
Interesting - thank you!
Thanks for watching Peter 👍
Forgot milkshake, I'll bet that threw off your mojo on that flight !!!! LOL.
Mr Banana’s jokes were terrible and he wasn’t as friendly as Milkshake. To be honest, he kinda had it coming.
@@StefanDrury That's ok. I'm 57 and always have my Midwest Express airlines bear with me for 25 years. Not the same when he's not there. ! Appreciate the great videos !!
Ha ha, Mr Banana, mate Bananas in Pyjamas :)
Hi, how you put all your cameras in the plane, i fly the same model but dont know where to find parts to put gopro or other small cameras
With SR22 are you able to adjust your prop RPM? I didn't see the prop lever..
Great video, Stefan! Hey, I'm curious how you attached the camera mount in the spot that has the overhead light. I've been using a GoPro mount that I glued to the light lens-not the most stable solution. Your kit looks much more solid.
We took out the light fitting and mounted a metal NFlightCam mount to the roof. It's been approved by CASA and we have an Engineering Order on the aircraft for it. The actual holder is a Puluz aluminium GoPro case. Very solid.
@@StefanDrury Thanks for the detailed info, mate! Was there an available machine screw to mount the Surface Spud Mount or are you using the suction cup mount? Or, perhaps you made a hole in the roof for this-hence the Engineering Order!
I'm a student pilot, I know all of this. Did I still watch the whole video? yes...
"A good pilot is always learning" ;-).
hello Stefan! I actually asked this in the previous video when you were talking about disliking turbulence and what that could imply in a future aviation career, it made me a bit scared as I would love to be a pilot (the only job I find to be "not a job" if that makes sense? Although I'm still not sure if that's what I wanna do, but I don't like anything else haha) but strongly dislike turbulence! On a "serious" level, because whenever I'm flying commercially and hit turbulence I always get a little anxious and afraid we might get into severe turbulence, and the problem is that I fear I might never get used to it and this problem will prevent me from possibly becoming an airline pilot...
have flown around the world for business and vacations in small GA and huge airliners in my mind always linked turbulence with danger but in 40 years of travel never encountered danger ,,even when being thrown around the sky, so you no its in your mind go get in that cockpit take a lesson from Stefan and take too the skies fulfil your dreams
@@g4kfjve7kfj34 thank you for the motivation and your story! I would also hope that it will really become something so usual I just don't mind about it anymore
@@joni41396 sure it will,,,,,,,,,, Admiral Horatio Nelson one of our great british naval heros winning many sea battles against the Spanish navy suffered from severe Sea sickness too the point of being incapacitated He never refused to set sail such was his love of the sea ,, GO FLY PAL and enjoy
Do you train for emergency in EYZ often? Will that be part of your RTW prep? Greetings 🇲🇾
I'm a new viewer. I'm enjoying and feeling for things for the bananas. They prob all think their going to make it
So do you like Garmin better to switch your avidyne system completely? Thanks for sharing
If I could replace the Avidyne PFD and MFD with a G1000 or G3X then yes I'd leap at that. Not sure if technically (or financially) feasible though.
@@StefanDrury understood sir
how do u record the atc audio and yourself, can you show us that setup ??
You inspire me to follow my dreams and try to become a pilot. I’m 12 years old and I fly on x plane 11. Thank you. Also please reply
I used to play flight sims 12 hours a day back in the 80s and 90s when I was a kid, and now I'm going for a commercial pilot's license. Keep your dream in sight!
Arron Metcalf thank you
Arron Metcalf It all helps, rudder pedals, joystick/yoke, a half decent flight sim as opposed to shoot em up games (although they can have their uses). Especially helpful if one can download training aircraft, Eg Cessna 150/152, Cherokee (PA28), even C42 Ikarus or EV97 Eurostars, gives budding students a head start, despite what old cynics might say/think.
@@musoseven8218 Couldn't agree more.
Does your HSI have a Track-Up option?
How long does it take to learn how to fly a plane like this :)?
Awesome
I wish i could fly an SR22 and my only concern was talking on the wrong channel :)
Quick question...going to be stocking up on Kwells for the World flight? 😁
Thankfully I don't get nauseous from motion sickness when in a small plane these days. However I will have a first aid kit and a medical bag with paracetamol, ibuprofen, diarrhoea tablets, that sort of thing. No intent to take Kwells (or similar) though.
Does the banana have an IFR rating?
where is the wind vector and speed data derived from ?
Really interesting video Stef, might sound a silly question, but who, and how are way points named?
Not silly, it's a good question. I believe in Australia it's Airservices Australia who name them (happy to be corrected on that). RNAV waypoints are named based on their location in relation to and airport to which they're associated (eg: Moorabbin Sierra Alpha - MMBSA - the 'Sierra' relating to 'South' and alpha being the first waypoint to the South). But as for en route waypoints I'm not sure. I'd love to get a MILKY for Milkshake somewhere in Australia. I know there's a DRURY in New Zealand!
@@StefanDrury Great answer, that makes sense now. Cheers Stef
@@StefanDrury Hey Stef, I have been following your channel for a while now, and thoroughly enjoyed your video's, Whilst during your around the world trip, if you should be in the South West of the UK, (Devon in particular) if we could meet up, I would happily buy you a coffee and a traditional English Breakfast..No..not McMuffin!)..to give me advice on learning how to fly "in later life"...cheers
For what do you need a fuel mixture
I have the same plane, same 650s. When ifr how do you have things configured, the pfd buttons on left, and which screens on the 650s. When do you load and activate appr ?
All depends on the approach. RNAVs are pretty simple, ILS obviously you switch to VLOC from GPS but not much else to it. I load an approach generally well before I need it, before briefing myself on it, and activate when I’m cleared to it.
@@StefanDrurythanks, oh on the 650s you can adjust the fields in the flight plane to show the step down increments on the approach on the flight plan.
Forgot to hit the correct com button before speaking, yep, been there, done that. Usually when I'm in a rush, never time to do it right, always time to do it over.
What is the price range for such aircraft used?
Hi, on your round the world trip, where you planning to stop in Scotland?
Hello, yes. Plan is to come through Wick airport from the leg from Iceland. I'll put more details on the routing closer to the time.
Stefan Drury aye, wick is nice!!!! If you come to stornoway let me know and we can sort you out for accom and tour of our great island!!!
When the comments talk about a Cirrus and a banana and you havnt got time just now to watch!!!!!
🍌
When the sun shines into the cockpit are the screens then difficult to read?
There’s a lip at the top of the dash that actually shields the screens really well. It’s rare to get sun directly on the screens, but I can adjust the brightness if required.
Mister Banana doesn't measure up to the caliber of Milkshake!
