Definitely the fun advantage goes to the Cirrus SR22. The financial difference and comfort level goes to the commercial flight.

I have that conversation in my head on a daily basis…especially the part about buying another Ferrari. 🤣 ✌️

That's the same argument I used with my dad 60 years ago! He countered with a) if you have the cash flow and capital to make the investment and pay for maintenance and upkeep, b) are willing to limit yourself in terms of loading, as in "What if I want to take 6 people along with me?", c) overall safety: part 121 is safer; d) comfort: a pressurized cabin, in a jet, in "the levels" is quieter and more comfortable (and you have toilets!). On the other hand, if you like or love flying, and you have a Cirrus or Bonanza or Centurion, and have one or maybe two adult passengers, then, for short to medium distances, and fair to moderate weather, then yes the plane is faster for that trip distance. Of course, you might also want to compare this trip to a TBM or Pilatus PC 12, or Cirrus jet, and then SR22 class loses!

Did you have to register your plane and comm before flying to Canada? Also does Mont Tremblant have the same pre clearance like Toronto does so you can fly directly from any airport in the U S without doing any immigration first? A couple airports in Bahamas have that also.

I had to get a Radio Station license for the plane and a limited radio license for me. Both can be done through FCC’s website and takes 24 hours. You need to file a departure clearance with US CBP (but you don’t need to call on the outbound), and you need to call CANPASS before you arrive and then call them again once you land. Mont-Tremblant is an Airport of Entry as long as the plane has less than 15 people. If you go tot he description of video, you’ll find a link to AOPA’s website that gives detailed instruction on flying to and back from Canada. It’s much easier than I had expected.

A friend flies around for consulting work. He gives customers the choice of flying him commercial or having him take his plane and bill them. It comes out about the same; commercial is slower and he bills more for his time, but flying private, he bills for the use of his plane. So after factoring the value of your own time and the costs of operating your aircraft, the overall costs are very similar.

Hi. Great idea for a film. Only observation I’m curious to know, the checklist for use of CAPS says remove the cover, when you go to use it, but I was taught by my CSIP to remove the cover just before flight so it’s more accessible and understandable by passengers. Have you heard that before?

@SlowAsianDriver

Yes, CSIP tends to tell you to remove the cover...however the cover/placard MUST be in view at all times as it's part of the mandatory equipment. Sometimes the CSIP will wedge the card above the handle, other times they will only velcro two of the four points. Both methods will damage the placard over time. Removing the CAPS pin is part of my preflight checklist...it actually appears in two different sections of the checklist. I choose to leave the cover velcroed on all four points to prevent it from falling off during turbulence.

Don't take random Internet guy's advice, though; find your favorite CSIP and ask them

sometimes it gets bumpy and the cover falls off…but yes I know the method and it’s a valid point. Thank you.

Guess who forgot to cancel once landed? This guy. 🤦🏻‍♂️. Between clearing the Canadian Custom and wife wanna get to the hotel. Complete forgot until 2 hours later. But the guys couldn’t be nicer.

@@SlowAsianDriver Ha ha. I meant if it’s a beautiful day and he won’t clear you a vis approach for a technicality, just say the magic words and be done with him. You can cnx IFR at any time as long as you have the required VFR cloud clearance. P.S. Tower is supposed to close your IFR flight plan upon landing.

Since I was crossing the border I had to be on an IFR plan the entire time. CYFJ also didn’t have a tower hence I had to cancel on the ground.

@@SlowAsianDriver Why can’t you file VFR from the continental US to Canada? As long as you talk to ATC w/mode C and have a squawk. If you are on an IFR flight plan it would help the controller out to cnx once in Class G since they can’t provide separation. Maybe I’m missing something.
