..thanks for sharing Ern...looking just a little different with that white hat...but a really good idea.. while poking around.. and under your beautiful plane...
To me there is nothing better than an owner assisted annual, get to know your airplane a lot better that way. I know, I do have the time and some folks do not, but you will never regret it.

That’s a great point Michael. I hope to do one at some point. 👍🏽

Another great video!!!!
Ern, thanks for sharing this! Its nice to see what goes into an annual inspection and with a maintenance facility that clean, you cant go wrong! Fly safe bud! 🙏
Great video👍🏽… can’t wait to see the Green Hornet back in the air!
Im gonna bring my 22t to those folks!
Congrats to you & Sam for reaching this milestone with The Green Hornet! Great looking maintenance facility - it is very clean! Safe travels flying TGH back home.
Super interesting look at the SR22!! Very cool, Ern. Thanks for all of your aviation videos and also, especially, your G.A. videos!!
“Ok maybe a little Sam” 😂
Thanks Ern for letting us see what goes into a annual inspection!! The Green Hornet will pass with flying colors and be in the air in no time!!
It's always good to get your airplane a physical! All jokes aside, great video and I'm glad the green hornet is in great condition.
Looking very nice...
Looks like a Commander behind you. Makes me think of Bob Hoover

Thanks for sharing this big Ern. This was very interesting to see everything that goes into an annual inspection. A big kudos to all of the aircraft mechanics out there. Especially the SWA mechanics. I just flew back from OKC and the techs were amazing fixing a minor issue. Keep hustling Ern!

Excellent video. Have been thru several of these and always a little nerve racking as to what can come up but it's what makes our airplanes safe and we owe it to our passengers to have the plane running in tip top condition at all times. Nice that Cirrus pay for the first annual . Nice touch Cirrus. That's next level customer service.

I just got my Arrow out of Annual, went in in January came out in February, got an extra month.
very interesting to see the annual getting done from an owners perspective! Also I've been watching your videos for awhile now and I am currently doing my commercial single license right now and at 160+ hours and I hope one day before you retire i'll get to fly right seat with you. I've got a long ways ahead of me before I even get to a regional but southwest is my dream airline and i hope to end up there

I would be honored my friend. It seems like a long way but trust me it will go by fast. One day you’ll be in my seat looking back and wondering where did all the time go. Enjoy the journey👍🏽
That GH still looks like new…hope you can fly it soon…
They do better work than Jiffy Lube. Be sure to remember to use your coupon. Nice looking Arrow Commander.
Great video, what is the ball park price for an annual service?
Too many issues for brand new airplane, I hope Cirrus covers all of that, although I know they’re extremely good with fine prints just like their sales team. Thx for sharing !!

@@FlyingwithBigErn here in NZ, there was a old boy who passed year before last. In his shed, he had a Mustang with 250 hours on it, 2 x P40, 2 x T6 and to top it all off a Mosquito! He also had huge amounts of new old stock, especially for the P51 and mozzie…..fascinating watching their restorations. You need to come down for one of our air shows, Warbirds over Wanaka and Wings Over Wairarapa (where Peter Jackson’s personal World War 1 flyable collection is based)
Did you not see the Turbo Commander?
2:08 - OK Larry! Get the filter off, please. You only have one job.
Always appreciate when you give recognition to my fellow Av Tech brothers and sisters! How did they get to the oil filter? Mechanics Creed: Nothing that brute force, human stupidity and a lot of profanity can't handle. LOL Happy Landings!

Great Video, I am getting my Cirrus in November (In the CMX Program), you made the statement that the tires were new and one side of brakes replaced, was that done while the plane was in the CMX program with the salesman having it, or did you have to do that after you took possession? Thanks Mark

Hey, let you into the maintenance area...car dealers will never allow customers into the work area. Thanks for sharing the maintenance bill. I know that car dealerships will rip you off...$750 for a new battery and filters, do it myself for under $200 with a much better battery!
Woah how many flights do the brakes and tires last?

Depends on the type of flying. Sam is finishing up his PPL so lots more landings on it for now. That will ease out moving forward.
BigErn do you want to fly longhaul?

Hi Robert! I’ve had the awesome opportunity to do that in the Air Force flying the C-5 and KC-135. Great experience and amazing travel opportunity while I was younger. I like to stick closer to home nowadays with younger kids. But I highly recommend if you get the opportunity👍🏽
