Cirrus Perspective - final approach into Reno

Rounding the corner onto final for rwy 34R, the Cirrus Perspective shows off its amazing synthetic vision display. Watch the runway depiction on the PFD as we cross the threshold.

@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.

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

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

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.

@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 ;)

did you buy this baby new?

It's probably for taking off without minimums.

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.
