#23 Flying a 2018 Cirrus SR22T G6 GTS - One of the Best Piston Single Engine

This week we got to fly a 2018 Cirrus SR22T G6 GTS, which one if my client's was kind enough to lend me for this video. This is the latest, most up-to-date version of the successful Cirrus SR22 line. The Cirrus SR22T has a turbocharged 315HP Continental IO550 engine and a top speed of 213 KTAS at FL250. This variant of the SR22 line has a range of over 1000nm but today we are just going on a quick hop from Santa Ana's John Wayne (KSNA) to Palm Springs (KPSP) to show you this beautiful aircraft. We talk about the history, performance, avionics and the competitors of the Cirrus SR22T.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions in regards to the Cirrus or if you're in the market for one.

Thank you for watching! Please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!

Good video presentation! I've been an A & P mech. for 51 years & frequently work on / Annual Cirrus Acft. I was impressed how you managed the engine, wish everyone would do it as you did in video. Our shop has pulled cylinders @ 300 hrs. TT due to improper leaning. One Cirrus SR22T (1100 TT ) had been topped twice before we worked on it (excessive oil consumption) so we pulled all cyls. again for third time & sent to well respected engine O/H shop we deal with. They informed us the cyls. were finished & to order 6 new TCM Cyls. & pull the connecting rods for inspection. 2 of the six rods flunked magnaflux & when we pulled the rods the upper bearing (toward piston) looked like it suffered a shotgun blast. Makes me wonder what else in the engine might be wounded & might fail or not make TBO. I've gone out to run-up SR 22's for Annual & found 3 to 31/2 qts. on the dipstick. Once again, nice video & a pleasure to one flown competently!

This was a great demo flight. I love the SR22T. It was nice to see a video with no background music, and just the sights and sounds of the aircraft with your explanations and comments. Very nicely done. New subscriber!

Gorgeous bird. Getting settled into my NA SR22 and couldn’t be happier.

A few things (speaking as a five year SR22T owner). The M350 is substantially more expensive (about 20%)...so the similar performance numbers don't really matter. I never run my Cirrus over 75% power (180kt true in still air), above is just not needed (waste of fuel and engine), esp at cruise and that will keep the engine cooler and lasting longer. I often fly at 15 to 17k with a canulla and so do other owner friends that also own the plane. Fuel burn is a little better and the oxygen is cheaper than fuel. Never lean in climb, or descent. The best way to lean the SR22T is not to use the carat or MP. Instead use TIT temps. Keep them just under 1600 and you will see CHTs stay below 380f and the fuel burn will be under 17gph. The engine likes to be a little leaner than the carat gives you.

Really like your videos Rich . Really straight forward . It’s a pleasure to watch and learn something from you

These planes are gorgeous. Hoping to fly one myself someday soon, Lord willing.

Thanks for this overview of such an enjoyable single engine aircraft well equiped, and this interesting video full of useful details !! As always a very professional presentation !!

[WillOstrick]

Talk about landing at golden hour, that view 👍
Nice one Rich !

[sean_lau]

Awesome video, beautiful airplane in the exact color I like, too. Owning one is on the top of the bucket list for sure!

[willberger]

Great video! Thanks for that! I use to own a 2006 SR22 GTS. Nice to see all the improvements.

Very pretty Cirrus you were flying here! It's remarkable how far the SR series have come in twenty years. As you mentioned, they are one of the most refined general aviation aircraft in this class. I've flown many of the legacy production planes but Cirrus is a step above. By the way, love the video. Most enjoyable to watch!

[bnelsonbraveheart]

Nice airplane for sure! Thanks for showing it off.

[TonyWilliams]

Hi Rich! Thanks for letting me park the Cirrus SR22T-G5 at your hangar in Long Beach on Saturday, while we went in search of a nearby Cessna Citation Mustang.

[paultaylor]

Great plane and very well documented cheers

[arturoespinosa]

Great plane. I have an RC Cirrus SR22 and flies beautiful and it's very truth to the real one, it got lots of scale details. Good video!

[edwardszane]

Excellent video and presentation. Thanks

[nigalreinbachs]

This is totally perfect way for joyriding especially if you didn’t feel safe riding a motorcycle. This plane has the feel of a motorcycle except much safer!😎💖💖🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✝️

[himankjoshi]

love the vid. . I really appreciate the way how GA aircrafts have evolved. The SR22 is like "on the top of all" those kind of aircraft. Really enjoyed it.

I’ve got a 2010 SR22T, and I love it.
