Cirrus Perspective - final approach into Reno

[14flying]

@lucianmop: yes, civilian pilots are allowed to wear glasses. The pilot's medical certificate must bear a note indicating the pilot must wear their glasses while PIC.

I would sell my soul to be a pilot.

[14flying]

@crchrdsn No need to sell your soul. With some time, study and yes, money, pretty much anyone can become a pilot.

@14flying when i went through flight school i studen loaned the shit out of it lol

[lucianmop]

@14flying but not anybody can be a fighter pilot ;) thts th coolest job i know. by th way.. one question, a civilian pilot can use glasses?? its a doubt i have for many days. thanks and good video ;)

My friend bought the plane. I was his CSIP for his instrument rating.

did you buy this baby new?

what a smooth landing !

If you're so low in IMC that you need to use the PFD runway stripes, shouldn't you have already gone missed?

[14flying]

Hi Tim. I completely agree. The synthetic vision display on the PFD in the Cirrus does NOT relieve the pilot of their duty to execute a missed approach at the DH/MDA per the FARs. It should only be used as an aid in situational awareness during flight.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I think many pilots rely on the "gadgets" in today's glass-cockpit age. In my flight school, we were finding that many students couldn't fly an arc without following the "magenta line". I also fly a Cirrus, but I try to "pretend" it only has steam gauges, and only bring up the maps in IMC.

It's probably for taking off without minimums.

whats the biggest difference between a Sr22 and the perspective?

[14flying]

Hello jth1999. I'm a big Cirrus fan and have approx. 350hrs in the Avidyne Entegra equipped models. I recently completed CSIP training in a Turbo SR22 with the Garmin Perspective avionics and they are very impressive indeed. The amount of information available to the pilot is beyond compare, but can be a little overwhelming to someone who has never flown a TAA (Technically Advance Aircraft) before, so transition ("steam gauges" to TAA) training is key. I love these planes! Jeff

Just curious, how do you like the Cirrus and it's Perspective avionics? Do you have any experience with the Avidyne with Cirrus?
