Why I Bought A Cirrus SR22. Dan

Recently we checked out a Cirrus SR22 Generation 3. It was a 2012 model plane in immaculate condition.
Today we get to meet the owner of that aircraft Dan.

Dan started flying 8 years ago. He has since earned his private and instrument rating as a pilot. Like many pilots, Dan learned to fly in cessnas and pipers and eventually bough A Grumman tiger which he co-owns with several pilots.

Flight mission changed and Dan upgraded into the Cirrus SR22.

They are beautiful, comfortable, newer, and fast Thanks for the info. I owned a Lance with a partnership for ten years in SW Florida and our gear was absolutely no expense. We made our own jacks and tail weight and swung the gear every year at annual. I'm glad the Cirrus is successful.

[bigboiqq]

Damn bro, good for you! I love that plane

[lashturner]

That is a pretty plane. I love the colors.

I know two Cirrus owners. One is a very talented and successful financial planner. The other is an airline pilot, married (two incomes) - no kids. I put three kids through college. If I don't build, it's Mooney for me.

[adamrudofker]

dude! I was just thinking of learning on the Cirrus! Also cant believe I coicidentally found you!

gotta get that lisence now that the parents are moving down to florida.

We'd love to have a twin engine cirrus as an option for more security above water for example in case of an engine failure

[kevingormley]

Another well done video. I enjoyed the owners comments and thought processes around why Cirrus is a great choice. I visited the center in Knoxville Tennessee where they deliver the planes and train new owners and it is a very high class facility. All the best

[shirothehero]

Going from the Grumman to that? It's like Geo Metro to Porsche Cayman.
Damn. I can dig on an SR22 for sure.

I started flying a piper Cherokee 6 in 1980 in the Amazon region in the state of Para Brasil, at that time there was no GPS and it was not easy, because the region is immense and very flat, so few references for navigation existed, today flying a Cirrus with parachute and all the electronics embedded in this explored aircraft, became much easier

[JonMulveyGuitar]

Ok Mike! Find that 22T and take it for a few spins around the pattern and tell us what's up with the extra pony's under the cowling compared to the 22:-) Maybe next time you are in Torrance. Hit up Steve (Ren Baron) and do a collab clip. He flys out of KSMO. He used to own a Sling 4 before the 22T. And he know the whole Sling family.

[HoosierPilot]

Mike I love your videos! Watching your videos motivated me to start filming my flights and making videos. How’s the Sling build going? I can’t wait to see it flying.

[cyrouskhavari]

Nothing against SR22's. But I will prefer A36 turbo normaized any day over the Sr22 turbo any day, better usefull load with A36. Wish him safe flying, and fair weather.

[jaimeduenas]

Props to you Sir, hell of a plane. I love plane's that have SR in the name, because my all time favorite is the SR 71 Black Bird.

[edwardhobelman]

I wasn’t saying it was bad just the parachute has to be repacked every 10 years and costs a bundle the line cutters are due every 6 years and if not done by due date the airplane is grounded it can’t even be ferried to maintenance to get it done. I worked at a Cirrus service center and was flown quite q distance to do line cutters. An A&P cannot do these unless he has special training for it. The fiki system must be run often to keep the panels wetted if they dry out they won’t let fluid thru evenly and are a pain to get wetted again. On the annual inspection they are checked for even flow. I have seen these systems soak up a lot of shop time getting them working properly.

[Karl__Pierre]

Finally down to two choices for next bird. Sr22 and Malibu

[kentmccoy]

I noticed this plane is now for sale after less than 2 years. Any reason for that?

[adamrudofker]

Is it weird using the one stick as opposed to the traditional yoke.

[anthonydowling]

Enjoy your videos. Correction The G3 does not have a third seat that is a Cirrus G5

[sacuWep]

Careful with that third seat in the back, SR-22 useful load isn't that great

[andik]

If I would buy a Cirrus it would be turbo normilized. FIKI in my opinion only makes sense when you can outclimb the icing. I would always choose a TTX or T240 over the Cirrus.
