Rich, Im dubbing you the Clint Eastwood of aviation!

You can fly such a variety of aircraft with ease that most people would envy. Keep up the great videos and I’ll keep watching.

Love to hear the CSIP backstory.

This feels like a Discovery show. 👍

Fired by Cirrus? That most hurt a lot. For them. Keep up these fab videos. Learning every time. Thanks -

that intro with western music was a surprise to me, another thing was of you two chuckling while doing that banking to left, very unusual from your videos but very refreshing; as usual the presentation of the SR22 was excellent pretty good looking aircraft, dashboard gives you a hint for the future, great sweeping views with that camera; one thing i noticed that the ATC was shortened out from start of engines to head of runaway, its a way to insert other segments later on, Awesome video guys!

We're shopping this airplane

Watched a guy on KZfaq fly one of these from Germany (I think) to my hometown in Huntsville, Alabama. Great video

You showed yourself in the office packing your flight bag before heading out to the plane? Always enjoyable and informative videos. I also enjoy getting to see the landscape of the area you get to fly out of.

Always a pleasure watching your videos Rich 👍

Rich, love your videos ! No AP use. Also like the music on the intro. Thanks for your professionalism. You help me to better understand all things aviation.

Nice plane, I’ll be in your area this week. LAX, Anaheim at NAMM convention.

Love the videos. Lots of cool information. Getting fired from cirrus as a rep was probably not that bad. Live your life as you see fit. 😎

You hand flew this one. Think I'd be too tempted to fly with the auto pilot since I don't have one in the plane I fly. Thanks Rich. Great short video.

I love flying with you, you crack me up. Did I mention I got fired!

You stayed in the pattern rather than the usual departure out to Catalina. Another Great Video.

I live very close by KSDL and yes, they are fast and fast in the pattern. And very popular...

technology and quality this Cirrus ! The must !

TKS fully agree, plus it’s not certified for known ice anyway. Be glad you’re out of there, they don’t have a monopoly on good instructors.

Intro music with you prepping for another awesome video showcasing a plane NOT for sale! Let's go flying! And you added chapters.

Good video! It was interesting to see there was a purpose for a video other than selling the aircraft. Knowing that you are planning to compare the SR22T to another aircraft seems to be a good idea. Your niche over other KZfaqrs is being able to fly many different type of aircrafts. Maybe doing actual comparisons of different aircrafts rather than like other KZfaqrs using the manufacturer’s videos to do the comparisons could be a new angle for content. Keep up the great work!

sweet video! I spot a v35 in the background! Hoping to see that soon!! Thanks Rich

Being on the East Coast TKS is a must for me especially.

great video as usual. And you hand flew all the way :)

Circuses loss ...our gain ! Thx Rich

The clean wings benefit from about a 100 lb increase in Useful Load compared to TKS-equipped model. Most of the clean wings, though, do not have the turbo and that's another 80 lbs of useful. TKS with turbo makes more sense - but normally-aspirated clean-wings are tops for warmer climates. Thanks for the ride, GOAT.

I seen you flew with the tie downs on adding to the parasite drag…noticed that at the end of the video. Agreed with the other items people mention on no destination and taxing instead of touch and go too.

Firstly, I love your videos! But what you didnt do, was mention that you liked the fact the bird had no fiki…..I think you forgot to mention that…😂😂❤️🤟🏻

i like the beginning off the video i think for me that is new good job

Looks like you hand flew that all the way, no autopilot! Nice

Love your vids. What is a Ccip!

You've gotten spoiled flying jets Rich. 😁

You made a complete lap through the pattern, a take-off and landing, before departing for the main section of the review. This is what I noticed was different.

You mentioned multiple times that you got fired from being a CSIP. Why did you get fired?

OK,.....Not much use of the Auto Pilot,.....another great video.,,..........so I did look at the comments, 😁

Noticed you didn't fall asleep and cut the video to when you awake upon approach!

Opening music was different! Just landed and immediately took off again! Did not use the autopilot and didn’t file an IFR.

Yea, I know some other instructors who are no longer Csip instructors due to differences on how to fly. I get that Cirrus had “their” way, but that didn’t mean any other way is “wrong”….. Didn’t notice anything “significantly” different as you change up some between videos anyway, but I take a hat anyway or swap you one!

Love your videos. You kinda leaving the dream of aviation!! PS. you made a mistake. 176 kts was GS, TAS was 183

You didn't set the autopilot once. Sweet plane. They really know how to build an ergonomic cockpit. Is there a big difference between Perspective and Perspective+?

Great video! Was it the multiple take off and landings?

Capo!!!! wonderful !!! 🦾🦾👍🏼👍🏼🙋‍♂🙋‍♂✈✈☝🏼☝🏼👌👌🧿🧿🦾🦾

Great video! Why did Cirrus "fire" you? Seems silly.

What you did different- you received the departure at the river, but stayed in the pattern and returned to land. I was expecting you to mention some mechanical problem and you were returning to the airport, but that didn't happen.

Great video, nice aircraft. In the beginning you were packing your bag and did not use the auto pilot....

Rich I hope one day we can get together and fly one of the planes out to that restaurant and I’ll buy you breakfast!!! I’m always ready to ride

👍

Flew a whole pattern and no AP use would be my guess. Great video.

Well...the dobro in the intro was different, right?

You mentioned Cirrus fired you, that was different and I don't think you mentioned it before. LOL I'm becoming "follicly challenged", new hats are cool!!. 8) Does the wing change shape w/wo TKS? The leading edge looks a little thinner? Thanks!! 8) --gary

You did a lap in the pattern, didn’t engage the autopilot and its not often you don’t shoot at least 1 instrument approach. You also mentioned being fired as a CSIP

You didn't read back the "extend downwind " instruction, just said "Roger".

What you did different was you stayed in the pattern. You didn't go to a restaurant at another Airfield.

Packing the flight bag?

You hand flew it!!

Rich, another great video. This especially Cirrus is an art piece. Really awesome. I love it. You fly it so ease and smooth. Just in perfection of aviators work love. Is this your company plane? Some new member? And I want to say, you are 100% right. It’s also my absolute opinion. The fully equipped TKS single engine Cirrus is very often in questionable conditions flying, because the pilots think, I can do it. I have TKS. You can see this in many videos, it what conditions they are flying. To me ridiculous. Yes you can do it, but it is not smart. They get more careless about weather. To me it’s better in this single engine plane, to plan better my weather options and stay out of this. And as you said, the clean wing has some nicer sex appeal. Planes have their missions and limits. And a single engine plane like the Cirrus, their mission should not be in bad conditions all the time. So I get your idea about this and share this 100%. Everybody as he likes. Save aviation needs smart aviator and save flying missions. Severe icing and bad weather is nothing common for a Cirrus aircraft or Cessna 182 or Mooney or what so ever. ❤ thanks Rich again for this great review of this beauty. 😊

At 8:42 you read the true airspeed as 176kts. However, in the lower left that's showing as the ground speed, it's showing a TAS of 184kts due to a quartering headwind. Can I have a hat?

Good stuff brother. The music at intro was the difference ?

You left the flaps down on the first circuit? because you did one circuit then landed?

I’ve been flying for over 35 years using yoke equipped airplanes. How hard is the transition to get comfortable with the side stick?

Have you flown the DA 50 yet? Love to see you review that airplane.

What did you do differently in this video? Forget to shave? Oops, no that's quite normal. Just being cool eh? Love your work mate. Dave Sydney Ausralia

Heard you I believe flying a FlexJet the other day into John Wayne!

Music at the start of the video and walk to the hanger.

What did you do differently? At the beginning you did not say your tag line of "we're going to bring you along for the flight" (or some variety of that phrase)

What you did different today mr. Rich, is that this sr22 aircraft you showcase was not for sale.

you took off and landed twice in one airplane from the same location? normally you have a destination to go... Either way.. great video!

great video like all the planes you fly you took off and flew a pattern first

Flew 1 circuit first with a full stop then continued on the normal Catalina loop

Immediate full stop landing after t/o for some reason. I’m not familiar with the Cirrus but a popped door latch?

I heard somewhere that Cirrus fired you? Is that true? Looked like a smooth flight.

Usually you fly IFR to a destination, then return.

Is the unusual thing that you had flaps in while flying the first traffic pattern?

How can Cirrus fire you? I don’t get it? Can you give any more details? Also how would compare the Cirrus to the LX7? Which would your prefer?

New Tune in the beginning?

Is next week's video a sales flight of the Virgin Atlantic 747-400?

Hmmmm…different. All hand flown? And a circuit before the run out to Catalina? That’s all I can think of…

You didn’t add the flying with Rich promo at the beginning

You didn’t button your shirt

........................The hat thing is great way to engage with your audience ;)

No stop for breakfast or lunch. Must be an economy flight.😀

Seatbelt looks a little high?

You flew a sortie out of Long Beach only to return, you didn't land for lunch anywhere.

Dude you are dangling the carrot. What were you doing that Cirrus/CSIP did not like?

13:46 You did a little pattern work, took a lap.

You did a double landing

You didn’t go somewhere to eat!

You hand flew the entire time.😮

You stayed in the pattern?

Three things. Flew the pattern and landed . Never seen that . Flew a non for sell plane, talked about future plane u are excited about.

You shirt is not properly buttoned at 13:54 (for Cirrus standards :-)

You pulled your own airplane out of the hangar. Granted you did use the robot to pull the jet out on the last video

Glasses on your leg during the landing was the difference. How can I send you my shipping address for the hat?

you took off and then immediately landed?

Landing before flight to Catalina?

You stayed in the pattern for one circuit before departing.

Rich! No stop with breakfast?!

You showcased a plane that wasn't for sale... that was the difference

why'd you get fired as a CSIP?! lol

you used chapters? wish every video did that.
