Short personal clips of flying the Cirrus Aircraft SF50 Vision Jet

Back in May 2021 I was lucky enough to go through Vision Jet type training. It was a lot of fun. It’s been really exciting to personally learn new things in aviation. The reward and “treat” of the training was the mentor trip that we went on. It was 25 hours of flying around and picking some fun places on the map. We flew all the way from TYS - OWB - MKC - ABQ - HND - SBA - SMO - CRQ - PSP - SMO - SBA - TEX - PUB - PWK - TYS. It was an incredible trip.

I thought I’d take some of the clips I filmed and share them with you. They are just put together randomly in no particular order. You can jump around as you’d like!

Please enjoy and leave a comment on anything you feel you want to learn more about! I’ll try and grab a video of it next time I am up!

I like that you get close to the screens with the camera. Thanks for the video.

You are living the dream, you know that right! Al, thank you for not adding music to your videos! I want to hear the Cirrus talk to me! LOL

[SauloMogi]

Beautiful!!! Living the dream pal, enjoy it!

Very cool! At 10:58 mark, I notice you’re starting up and doing the after start checklist. I see that you did it as a step by step DO list! May I suggest for all regimes of flying, you develop flow patterns to DO things, then you use your checklist, to check that you did everything. Always something to learn👍🏻.

Excellent video and also I like hearing the surrounding sounds rather than music. Beautiful jet and very impressive. Great job!

Thanks for sharing Al. Hope to see you in Tuscon for Converge. I'm ready to take the type rating very soon...Tom

Love your videos! Someday, I’ll have a Vision jet!

Looking good Big AL! Great video. Glad to see you out doing what you love in a cool machine!

[tombuckley]

That lightning @ 1:52 would have me feeling

What a great idea for a video! Love it!

Can the rail system for the seats be used to mount different things? For example, could someone have some nice tie downs so a dog carrier could be anchor, or other cargo? Could a person buy different seats and alter the configuration of their vision jet according to the needs of that trip? ie take out the executive seats and put in the full set, or remove all the seats and just carry cargo?

To prevent misunderstandings, I like the CJ. But that is the main problem with the CJ, only going up to 31.000feet. Weather is getting challenging more and more. And you need 39.000 feet in a jet like this. That would hit the nail. Besides that awesome unique jet.

I love your videos. I just saw the scorecard video for the SR22T. I fly one too and was wondering if you could go over the VNAV and it’s applications. I’m instrument rated but have trouble sometimes figuring out VNAV. Thanks!

I Alan hope you are well. What a awesome flight them clouds looked awesome with the lighting.the radar what a brilliant piece of technology just stick to the green you are doing fine phil. Do you ever think they will bring a vision jet out that will take off from a standstill position that would be awesome phil.

[JR-igwm]

Dude why are you NOT showing landings and take offs?

[jmepzpg]

how long did it take you to get comfortable with all the controls ?

[avfan]

Nice compilation Al!! Noteworthy: Al says “this is cool” 57 times. LOL, just kidding Al, maybe it was 27. Safe flying!

For those of you who can't afford to fly a Vision Jet like me - pick it up in Microsoft Flight Simulator and enjoy! It's an awesome aircraft. I love to fly it through the virtual skies in Virtual Reality. Many gretings from Germany, 🙋
