Discovering the Cirrus SR22T for the first time

FLYER's Rachel Ramsay had never sat in a Cirrus before, so who better to show her the ropes than Director of the SR product line, Ivy McIver

2:40 Weeping wing anti-ice sytems do not effectively shed already accumulated ice. They are preventive systems which require activation prior to entering icing conditions.

I know a doctor who bought a Cirrus and pulled the chute when the AC stopped working.

[SimonAmazingClarke]

Definitely the standard that all manufacturers should aim for.

Nice perspective. I've seen a lot of SR22 videos, but this had a lot of info that I wasn't aware of. Well done!

SR22T is a beautiful-looking plane. If it had retractable landing gears, it would be a perfect-looking plane. But in general, it is a great plane!!

[ArizonaAirspace]

You should have shown the switches and aircraft interior while the person explains where they are, rather than showing her face the entire time. We are all here to look at the aircraft, not the demonstrator. That’s basic common sense.

This video would’ve been perfect for a drinking game. Everyone take a shot of liquor each time Ivy said, “Uuum”.

Ivy McIver - the best name I'm heard since Michael McMichael and Larrie McLaren

Cirrus has a side-yoke, Columbia has a side-stick. It’s a very comfortable plane.

How do you teach forced landings in a cirrus? Is it go/no go decision to pick a field/roadway or is it automatically pull caps regardless?

[TheSonjaxfactor]

What is the max knots the parachute can take before it tears away from the plane in an engine failure or empty gas situation?

[EmesiS]

Lol...Great video of mostly two people looking at stuff. Next time, less face time and more of the equipment!

[gsp]

Good walkthrough, but deploying the chute is certainly not "much better than trying to find a field and do an approach into it". Can't believe the demonstrator agreed. 12:35

People hating on the chute makes me cringe. I did my commercial ride in my SR22 and did 200+ engine out landings. I can put her down right where I want her altitude permitting. Are fighter pilots crappy airmen for having a hot seat? A way out in a terrible oh shit moment? When I’m flying a xc in the SR22 over mountainous terrain or god forbid moonless xc at night nowhere near a town.. you bet your ass I love knowing if my one engine decides to fail, I’m more than happy with that shiny red handle above my right shoulder. It beats smashing into trees at 70 mph with 70+ gallons of 100LL in the wings waiting to incinerate me.

Now why did I know they'd be stressing the pulling of the chute from the get go. No trouble shooting.. No attempt to land somewhere.. Just pull the chute. There are quite a few parameters for successful deployment and even if successful, the plane is totalled. Insurance must be high because they know the owner will pull the chute as soon as there's an engine hiccup.

Would have been an improvement to see more of the display's while she is demonstrating the glass panels, rather than looking at her talking.

[lovelust]

Can't you also parachute into mountains
