Feeling Proficient in a Brand New Vision Jet
It’s been a while since my last video! Thanks to those who have always reached out. It means a lot! There has been a lot of transition going on over the past few months! I haven’t been able to fly the Vision Jet much, until now.
Hopefully this was helpful on finding a mindset to feel proficient and current in the Vision Jet. Switching airframes is a lot of fun but there is some work on developing the mindset of the plane you are flying!
More videos to come! This will be a lot of fun!
Thanks,
Al

Awesome you found it interesting!
As an airline pilot who's never flown a jet this small, this is interesting to watch.
Hello. I've been watching so many flight videos in the last 2 years and far away from taking lessons and buying my own plane. This video is exactly what I and people who have never flown need in order to understand the precise details needed to prepare, operate and fly. If I ever get to flying this is exactly the type of video I would be making to teach others. I wish the popular pilot guys would do this too. This really helps us understand how much is involved in flying. Thank you so much for making this video much appreciated.
Amazing walk through on flight planning with ForeFlight and presentation of the Vision Jet. Great job!

This was a fantastic tutorial. I know how hard it is to do in flight instructional videos and am so impressed with how smooth everything came out. All questions answered!
glad to see a new video!
Thank you for going over Foreflight specifics. This is helpful to understand the program. I’m an old flyer that has not flown in years attempting to understand the new technology.awesome keep up take care ❤💯💯🌹🌹🌷🌷🚀🚀💎☑🔷 thanks for postings greeting from canada love you

Had a blast flying with ya, Al, let’s do it again soon!
Amazing video. Love the huge amount of detail that you go into that other creators edit out. Fascinating to see all that goes into each flight. Really excited to see what you do in the future. Only thing missing from this one was the landing imo. Can't wait for the next one!
Excellent video! As a budding flight enthusiast without any flight lessons yet, I appreciate the level of detail in the video.
Wow, nice jet. Can’t wait to pick one up, after I hit the jackpot
Great video Al, thanks for sharing
What a fantastic video Al. Thanks for the help!
Really enjoy your videos. Al, you're so down to earth and it's a joy to ride along.
Looks like a blast! It’s amazing that the smart phone talks to the smart jet, run by a couple of smart guys!
Every time that ball point gets near the screen, I start to flinch. 🤣

Excellent video... thanks for sharing.
Fantastic !
another amazing video about the VJ.

Really cool video. Lots of information. Thanks
What an amazing little jet! The future keeps coming faster and faster. I can't imagine where we'll be in another 20-30 years.
So many KZread aviation videos start the camera getting into the aircraft - but all of the interesting work is in the flight preparation before then. It's really nice to see a vid that STOPs at the takeoff, and concentrates on the preflight prep. All the same steps I learned on paper in the '80s, but prompted by aps and onboard glass cockpit systems instead of having to remember each process.
Truly a biiig goal for me to get one, so videos like this just refocus me. Thank you for uploading this.
Excellent video presentation. Quite interesting. I enjoyed watching it very much and thanks to you guys for doing it. .
Interesting, thanks !
Al, great to meet you at Renton this weekend. I just wanted to say that this video (brand new G2+ murdered out) will really help me when I fly a vision Jet tomorrow with Fiscus. I have flown before the vision jet but forgot where some of the information comes from on the German instrumentation. Thanks for great videos!
Holy cow that's a lot just to get going! Gotta love all the electronics! I wouldn't know lol.
Great video! 👍
Great video guys, the vision jet is certainly something that would be on my list if I was in the market for one of these planes. I would love to have seen you stick the landing though. Cheers!🥂
..new sub..so awesome..such an exciting plane..and a great place and position..for the future..best wishes..and keep em coming..

That’s so cool
WOW! Now that was amazing... Next time, take us with you to the restaurant! What a great learning video to just see what all goes on. Also take us through the landing as well when you can... This was AWESOME!!!!

Really found how to carry out the checks, how to download the Flight Plan and how this aircraft just functions an enthralling 40 minutes of interest.... yeah of course envious that I probably wont get the opportunity but if the numbers come up, know what I am going to learn to do! Thanks for this, enjoyed a lot!
Wow this made me want to take flight lessons!! Nice job gentlemen!
Nice one Al! Welcome to Cali!-Ren
I am not a Pilot I was an aircraft tech in the Royal Australian Airforce. I use to be a Ground Runner on the Caribou (2 R2000 Radials) I was watching your start check list and man it was never that simple in a Caribou.

How much has the thrust increased on the G2? And has its ceiling increased any? That preflight sure takes a while!
At Scottsdale, you should have asked to work the pattern and did a couple of touch and goes, knock out those two landings.
This was such an awesome and enjoyable video. The deatail in the cockpit was amazing. It was such a treat to see are the cool features of the Vision Jet in an actual prettier off scenario. Fora172 low time pilot such as myself, this was so nice to see and to be able to live the experience vicariously through you. More please! Fly well brother.

This is great fun! Love this jet! But a question arises... you said you were using Rwy 35R, But what turned green on the display was a runway oriented roughly ay 27 - or due west. What gives? 35 is almost North.
Sensational content!
Can you share how/where you get the SF50 Flight Data pad? Is that something Cirrus provides, or something that can be purchased directly? Also curious if there is something similar for the SR series.

Great video, Al. Thanks. And just to prove the old adage that it's easier to fly from the right seat, (1) your strobes weren't on, and (2) you didn't tell the tower you couldn't climb at 250. John Skittone and I beat each other up all day on this stuff, and it's the guy in the right seat that's always perfect! ;-) it's always something! Great video!

Wow, I wish my airbus 321 was as advanced as this aircraft.
Try to use screen recording and edit that into the video. Between fingernails and odd video angles the ForeFlight portion was a bit thought to follow.

Nice to see you have got the vision all sorted out and ready to fly. philip hope's to see you soon. Take care and happy flying to you.weather it's the vision or the cirrus sr22t aircraft phil.
I want that jacket. Can’t find them at Cirrus. Getting a G2 Vision Jet in June. Owned 4 planes in the SR series.
I go to volenti at SDL all the time, still instructing in piston aircraft, hopefully I can fly a Visionjet one day

Hey Al, Awesome video with just the detail I need as a high time CFI/Multi. At 81 years old I stopped flying the "Real" stuff some time ago. I always felt; If you can't fly 10+ hrs/mo...you shouldn't be flying. SO !! I went to X-PLANE11/12. Guess what? They have the Fusion on there with exactly your panel, etc. Your presentation is going to get me locked to doing the checklists right. Perhaps someday you put together a (brief) tutorial with performance/wt./balance charts to help me(us) better plan climb/cruising/descent profiles. I have taken to flying all over Europe in this beauty. I'm including all my old flying buddies (FEDEX,etc) by copying your site over to them. 3 of them already want to buy this PUPPY. OG-ZSE/ZOA
Al Enjoyed going through the flight plan and route process on ForeFlight with an IPhone! I use the IPad mini myself. Once the engine is started and sucking jet fuel(💰), I am thinking that there has to be a quicker way the get the pre-taxi checks completed more expeditiously and save some fuel/money in the process. For example get ATIS before the engine is started. I am pretty sure the flight plan can be bluetoothed in with the plane on battery power. How sensitive is the battery for it to have sufficient juice to start after having it on for 5-8 minutes? On the take-off do you engage the TOGA switch with heading mode engaged to get an initial pitch reference attitude? Thanks for the effort…. 👍 Patrick from Albuquerque

Hi Patrick. This is all great. We went slow in this video. There is a quicker flow to this. Once we are up and running, programed and ATC clearance received we can be through it in 3 mins!
thanks
I wonder if u can just put and make your flight plan on your phone, thought an app and than download it, into the plane's FMS, once you're in and ready to go. That would be super cool! I just fly on Microsoft Flight sim and I do RC planes too, for a hobby.
The briefing flight data cards you used. Are they readily available ?
Hey Al, where do you get the TOLD card for the sf50 you are using? cirrus store?

@@Tmm42s You don't need the engines to provide the power to program everything, which does not take that long.
Great Job !! CAN YA be too old to learn to fly the G2??
Can you list some reasons why you like Foreflight vs. Garmin Pilot?
Didn't realise Microsoft flight simulator had this insane graphics
i want to own this aircraft and get the necessary training to fly it.
With these modern aircraft is there backups to the screens for basic avionics?
The performance calculations and weight and balance should be done prior to engine start. Just in case something doesn’t jive plus you’re waisting fuel.
Why u bring the gear up so soon? Would you not want it down to land back on the runway if you flame out at 100 or 200 feet?
nice

Genuine question, how do you take passengers in a bison jet? There’s seven seats, but with two pilots and near full fuel you guys were only shy of 270 pounds for max gross takeoff weight. How much fuel do you have to take out to have four passengers? Provided they are all under 200lbs each.
i have about 30 hrs in a Cessna 210. how long to upgrade to the Cirrus? do you need an IFR ticket? is that included in the price?

There's a good way to go before you'll be ready for a light jet, and without an IF rating you're wasting your money. Single pilot IFR is very demanding, even in an aircraft this modern. Don't let that put you off though.
nice :)))
how long it will take me to be trained to fly this beautiful small jet. if you know kindly answer me.
Should of use Mesa Falcon field as alternate to stay out of all commerical traffic.
