well the system will detect anything nearby operating with a transponder. Technically outside of a Class D someone could be flying without one-so it's good to keep looking. It's not exactly safe practice to be overly focused on aircraft systems in such a concentrated area like a pattern but they seem pretty competant.

This is probably one of the best cirrus cockpit videos I've seen. Very cool airplane.

@gmanzeroalpha While I agree with you that these guys are a bit too much 'inside' the cockpit, they are not flying IFR. They are just using autopilot to fly the airplane....which actually reduces workload and increases situtational awareness.

Where's the joystick?

This is a sweet airplane, wish I won the lotto!!!
thanks for sharing...

do i need some kind of type rating to fly this aircraft? if so, can it be done in a simulator?

This was also my thought. Your looking at your Dash more than flying the plan in traffic. This is not VFR situational awareness it is IFR. It is not a good idea to be doing both VFR and IFR at the same time. They are two completely different mindsets. I fly in airports where the GA aircraft are too close for transponders so they don't use them and the pattern fills on a sunny day all the time. You are the element that makes you safe. Technology supports you. This is not following that concept
it looks like a car...

Yes, you can fly the Cirrus with a private pilot's license. The barrier you will run into is the minimum total time required for your insurance carrier. @parkflyer23
