Video length is only 1:40 mins. Here's a quick little trip from Bournemouth to Blackbushe in a Cirrus SR20 on 25 June 2008. Weather was a little dull at take-off but soon cleared for a lovely landing but strong winds gusting 25kts at Blackbushe. The camera (Panasonic SD9) was mounted on a tripod, held down with bungees. I was the only person on board.

  • is it harder flying with that stick than a yoke?

  • @airplanepilot22 , No its exactly the same as your left hand is basically in the same place as with a yoke.

  • Hi there!

    Great video! After my club went into Admin (flying Warriors) I have joined another new club that has the SR20 G3 GTS as a standard training aircraft. What features are available on the left hand stick. I see you making regular adjustments to something there and I doubt its all PTT. Is it Trim?

  • @ChrizRockster Hi, the stick has , trim, autopilot disconnect, and ptt. The Cirrus is a lovely aircraft to fly, but is bloomin' expensive to hire in the UK compared to say an Arrow which is almost the same speed.

  • I have an SR20....Where did you mount your camera?

  • Almost looks like you're driving in the sky

  • maybe you shouldn't be looking at the boost pump/fuel gauge when you're twenty feet off the ground...

  • @yawningdogs - Thanks for the info!!!

  • @witcherdude , the 172 is more versatile in terms of airfield surfaces. The Cirrus can be pretty scary on grass if its not smooth. The Cirrus only has brake steering which makes it a bit annoying for taxiing. Feels a bit weird having to dab the brakes to keep it straight on a take-off roll, especially when its a short runway.

    The Cirrus has a 200hp engine so is much quicker than a standard 172. The 75% cruise speed for the SR20 is 145kts IAS.
