Learning to Fly the Cirrus SR20: Transition Training

PART 1: I have started my transition training from the PA28 to the Cirrus SR20! Here's my first lesson - getting to grips with the SR20 and the way it flies compared to the trusty PA28s. Thank you Gabi and United Flight Systems for your patience!

Hey Noel! As someone who used to teach in the SR20’s quite a bit- something you may try next flight is to relax your grip to only really use two fingers and a thumb. That may help with the landings, as responsive as the controls are on the Cirrus it can be easy to overcontrol. Awesome to see you flying in a new plane, blue skies and tailwinds!

Oh what a relax instructor. Really calm and comforting in the approach. But you can make it. I can't wait to see the two of you explorer the country even futher.

My grandpa used to have a plane like this when i was een kid. Good memories..

I work at the other flight school at this airfield, see this cirrus a lot. Hopefully I’ll see you around at some point! Blue skies.

Looks a very nice aircraft. Enjoyed the video.

Not a bad job of landing, you’ve got it, just a bit more flying and your good to go.

[davidisaacson]

Good choice of plane. Hope you never have to pull that red thing but it is nice to have it

I have had my Cessna 150 since 74 and I would love to have it have a side stick so I could see the instruments better. Would take a lot of getting used to. Have fun. I hate doing accelerated stalls When I do a morning of touch and goes my first one is always the best. And then they start to get worse.

Awesome video Noel Phillips also I see you changed your main channel's location but not this channel's when will you change it from United Kingdom to United States? Keep up the awesome work Noel Phillips buddy.

I also learnt something, I didn't realise the Entegra was actually older than the G1000, I thought it was just a preference rather than the Garmin actually being an upgrade.

[GTLPT]

Brilliant video, hope life in TX is good, I went to Gamston, also do you prefer Ryanair or the US Budget airlines?

[nmsu]

Only recently learnt how much more 'relaxed' flying is over there too! No need for some VFR flightplans, just point and fly! It's a shame it's not similar in England, but since Texas is nearly 3X larger than the UK (not sure if that figure includes NI), I can only imagine how many Englands Texas could contain! Great video as always!

[petermolyneux]

Ryanair would be pleased with those landings.

[raybrown]

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

I had anxiety watching when the engine was turned off! I had no idea that was what you were going to learn to deal with!!!! I'm not sure what I expected but it wasn't that!! You certainly don't have much leg room in that cockpit though .I'm not quite 5' & I could've had room to dance! I suppose tall people have issues as well as short people! It's very interesting that the plane has a parachute! It looked like you did very well flying the plane even if it was your first time. I must say, I don't understand anything that the controllers(?) are talking about on the radio! Thanks for taking us along!
