This plane needs a Jet-A diesel engine option. Sales would be through the roof.

Totally agree

Nice, but when will you get rid of the Red lever? oh, and maybe a little Jet-A to make for some happier (reduced lead) campers!

This prop throttle system is mental!

Thanks for a very informative video. Flying a cirrus in New York’s busy airspace. Getting in on the downwind on a 45 degree to enter the pattern for take art and a prayer. ADSB in traffics depicted on a screen does help a lot. As for the cirrus jokes, ahem, I see it’s universal thing, this Cirrus jealousy. 😊

Waiting for the SR series to be available with a Jet A burning engine for India.

Great videos, as usual!

My Cirrus has a blue prop lever 😊 it’s one of a kind

I buddy how's it going hope you are well and enjoying life to the full.what a brilliant idea that's a awesome no prop lever.philip is still interested in gaining my ppl.would love to learn how to fly a cirrus Phil.

And I thought it was far more complicated. Question - I’m hearing Fadex system? What is that please?

Does the cirrus have a self-feathering prop if there is an engine out? If not what happens to the prop when you pull it full aft.

Knowing the Engine Handbook details for an engine type and the Blade HP value, the concept of an interlinked Prop-Throttle movement is a logical way to manage engine performance. Dose one still cycle the prop on run-up?

Better question would be: Why is the mixture lever still there?

Adjustable best power or best economy settings probably, also i would love a video about that from those guys

Indeed. But that is all FADEC controlled in modern Jet-A1 piston engines. Time for Cirrus to offer that as well if they are serious with simplifying the cockpit environment.

I guess they are making it Dr Proof

It wasnt until the G5 that the prop controls were physically removed. The diagram you showed was for the G1 G2 and G3 models. G5 and G6 use a propeller governor with no cables attached to it. Its adjustment can only be made with the cowling off during maintenance.

I think you’re confused about how the prop system varies from the different models. The 22T turbo is the only cirrus aircraft that operates without mechanical linkage from the throttle to the prop. The 20 and 22 models do however, as explained in the video, utilize the mechanical linkage from the throttle to the prop.

@v1ohno939 yeah that's correct. At our airport altitude we don't see many NA cirrus or many 20s.

If Cirrus really strives for simplicity and safety, that red knob should not be there in 2023.

With a 1950's engine...

How come that at 10,000 feet, WOT I read 65 % power and get 2650 RPM on the prop then ?

At WOT the interconnected mechanism moves the governor cable forward to Max RPM stop on the Governor. Meanwhile your Manifold pressure is naturally reduced to about 21”. the relationship between the MAP to RPM is what the Garmin software uses to determine Percent Power.

What actuates the Blade movement is it oil pressure from engine still ?
