Cirrus SR22T Perspective avionics demo

Demo of the Cirrus Perspective avionics suite in a Cirrus SR22 Turbo. Thanks to Mike, Cirrus Standardised Instructor Pilot (CSIP), for showing me the Cirrus Perspective system. I'm currently flying a Cirrus SR20 with the Avidyne avionics suite, but am thinking of upgrading to a Cirrus SR22 with the Perspective system shown in this video.

VERY IMPORTANT: I am a private pilot and am NOT qualified to give flying instruction. This video, like all videos on this channel, has been significantly edited from the original source footage and is provided for entertainment purposes only. 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.

Filmed on a Canon EOSM6, various GoPros, and sometimes my iPhone. Audio usually from Epidemic Sound.

Question: what do you think are the best features of the Cirrus SR22?

[quinnjim]

Very helpful video for a guy upgrading from a 2005 SR20 with Avidyne to the new Garmin Perspective. You can read books about it for hours, but having someone push the buttons and explain what they do is infinitely more useful.

I actually just made the transition from the 20 to the 22 and continue to fly both. Both planes have the same avionics so it made it easier. The power and speed of the SR22 is awesome but the rental cost keeps me coming back to the SR20 for most flights. I'd love to watch you fly both and report on the differences. I've never flown the Perspective package so I'd love to see it in action. Another great video man, keep em comin!

Great Channel - you've got a new fan! : )

If you want a cost effective way to fly an SR22 think about joining a syndicate. Our group of 5 is full for now. With a few people interested we may purchase a 2nd plane to be stored at Essendon with the first one. Could be an SR20 for local flights or another SR22 depending on new member requirements. Fractional ownership means fractional capital and fractional costs. Great way to fly a couple of hundred hours a year. If you fly more than 50 hours a year this is worth considering. I have been in 2 flying syndicates now over 18 years of flying and have been current the whole way through but for one stormy winter when the kids were babies and business was tough.

Am about to commence my transition training into the SR20 this weekend - Can’t wait!

Hi. I fly both the SR20 and sr22. Except for the increased power, speed and payload, there isn’t that much different. The airframes are the same. So if you can fly the one, you can fly the other one. Different power settings in the circuit. You really do notice the power on take off and Vy climb. You have to step on that right rudder to keep it on the runway. For me the biggest difference is slowing it down. You have to plan your decent and circuit entry well in advance, because she won’t slow down and decent at the same time. But once you hit your 100 knots and 50 flap on downwind, it’s exactly the same as the sr20 to land. I like the sr22, but maybe the one at my FBO is newer with larger screens and leather seats.. but if you just gone cruise around Melbourne, the sr20 will give you just as much satisfaction. Whatever you decide, DO Upgrade to the perspective. It is much better.

What does it cost to hire the sr20 and the sr22?

[captainredbeard]

I’ll be honest for a sec. I’m watching your videos, in part, because I want to see something different. I fly 40-60 year old a/c because that what I can afford. Upgrade to the 22T and tell us what you think!

By the way, the camera work and editing is on point. Every video produced is better than the last. Thanks for putting the effort in.

[meninactionllc]

can you do an updated video on this same topic

[darrenwilson]

Whatever works best for the Pilot is the way to go.

[spiro]

I think the best way to look at it is what are you going to do with it and can you afford the extra cost. If you are planning a number of long trips across Australia and London ha ha, then it might be worth upgrading albeit at the cost of higher fuel consumption and rental fee. A have a feeling that your heart is saying SR22 and your head, stay with the SR20 a bit longer. Whatever decision you make i'm sure it will be the right one.

Great video Stef, with lots of interesting and informative content.
200 horses to 310 ( I was excited when I went from 65 to 100!) and 'hitting the autopilot' in my machine involves cuffing my copilot around the back of their head! ;) Seriously though, what is the consumption comparison?

[harrytd]

I'm getting to the stage where I actually understand some of the instrument panel. Shame there's not a test at the end. Cheers Harry

new fan here 😎
Make a video on ur bio!
Ur birthday , hobbies etc 😊
Great video tho! 😍

Is this Cirrus new I've never heard about. But there's not much better than a Cirrus because Cirrus make there planes very well. Cirrus's aren't that affordable for people as for people mostly get Piper or Cessna which I'm looking for Cessna as for getting advice from friends and YouTube channels like this one. I was recently at the Lilydale Airshow which all the privates there that were just chilling I look at the C-182s which I'm sure it's was a 182 but if it was I didn't know that they are Six Seaters which was weird as for the C-172 has only 4 seats. Cirrus's are very well made planes and great Video Stef! This was very confusing and interesting! Great one Stef!

Go for it SR22 all the way. Sorry I cheated and went to some of your later videos. LMAO.

[Mike_Costello]

I hate to break it to you but TDS has been seeing other pilots. I hope you have been flying safe.
Re the SR22 I would do a flight under supervision first. Go some place to stretch it's legs and then decide. Plus as others have said here, you can always fly both and use them as per the mission. - Mike Costello.

Upgrade you get there quicker farther and faster plus it looks SEXY!!!

[therepguy]

Here what you do upgrade to a 22T, enjoy but put your order in for Cirrus's new Vision Jet, that's when the real fun starts. Just a through. <GRIN>, By the way, is Cirrus importing or building their​ aircraft down under?
