What an ugly plane. The flying egg. Should have ducted the engine like a Diamond or Stratus jet. They both look like jets. Epic jet looked good too. Cirrus jet looks stupid.

So, super helpful. But some of the words you’re using left me confused. Like “it’s going to try to turn me onto XX heading” or “flight director is commanding a descending turn” or “this is going to roll me to heading XX”. I think what you mean is the FD is painting a chevron that you can follow (hand fly) to get to where you want the plane to go. The FD isn’t doing anything to control the plane, right? Just showing a chevron basically that you follow.

Al, can you tell me more about that audio control panel upgrade?

Great vid. Thanx

Been there many times and it's amazing. The only tip I would have is that if you even think you need to go around do it. This isn't the place to wait until you are running out of runway to go around. There are power lines, trees, and rising terrain to the SW that could be an issue if you wait too long, hence the reason you land runway 24 and takeoff on 06. As mentioned in the video, it will feel very tight coming through the trees the first time or two you land there, but in reality there is plenty of room.

What about the top PFD slot, any need for an SD card to go in the slot for updates? Ty

Love your videos Man. You are an excellent instructor. Very methodical and explanatory. Thank you!

Great video. Nice setup. We have a Cessna Caravan that we are looking at setting up an auxiliary TKS tank in the cargo pod so we can refill our 21 gallon TKS tank during long flights without relying on an FBO. I'm thinking of adding another 20 gallon tank to the Pod that is secure and that's easily removable when empty. We plan on using a Milwaukee cordless transfer pump used to transfer TKS to the main tank. I was thinking of venting the tank with a rollover vent valve so fluid won't splash out during steep bank/pitch the Milwaukee pump will have a 4 way valve tied into the tank suction, pump discharge nozzle with the capability to actuate the 4 way valve so the pump can suck out of a supply drum (with a special attachment to the nozzle) to refill the tank. That's the theory anyway. Haven't built it yet but welcome any comments. Thanks again for this video. RUclips videos like this make the world go around.

Wonderful videos!

Thanks for the video. Brought back fond memories of flying my Cessna 120 into Gastons. 👍👍

Great video, always like watching aircraft landing at Gastons from my Brothers house in the Video at the about 40 second mark with the circle driveway and green roofed outbuilding.

Firstly, it touched my heart to see your old man flying with you, and listening to your mom's honk as well. Thanks on that. I really like your videos and look forward to meeting you anytime soon. One only complaint: since I am learning with each Cirrus Vision video first, it is extremely hard to focus on any particular area of the Garmin 3000 because the camera is too nervous and does not stay still so I can peep on the settings along with your explanations. The rest is great. Congrats and hello to you and your dad from Miami, FL and through the Internet universe of RUclips...

Al, this technique saved my bacon on a recent long cross country where the ramp was very hot when we stopped for fuel. The "aha!" moment for me with this technique is waiting for the fuel flow indication. On a quick turn today where we stopped at KCDC in Utah and the oil temp was 185 degrees when we got back in the plane, I had to wait a good 15 seconds after turning on the boost pump before the vapor lock purged and fuel started flowing.

Lost wow

Belated Congrats Al!

How long does it take to get up to fl30?

Do you think that slick spray increases speed?

Tisk tisk tisk you didn’t tell CLEAR PROP! 😂 I use to live off of Cypress creek last 3 years and I never once came over to visit to see the Vision Jet…. And im a pilot 🤦‍♂️ well, when I come back over to see family can I stop by FXE to say hi?

Love the positive attitude. Nice flying folks.

This airplane is $3 Million. If this money is a fraction of your total asset. You can own it.

Center "counsel"? How does someone with a pilot's license think that's how you pronounce center console?

A true IFR approach: "I follow Roads, Rivers or Railroads". In this case, rivers.

Usually nice to fly directly over the airport to see any other plane movement efore depending and approaching the runway

This is actually close enough to where i live to just hop in the plane, get lunch to go, go home, and my food still be warm. Definitely going to have to try it out.

Flown in many times. Live local. Drove in Saturday. Why so low on final?

I have fished the White at Flippin, downstream of Gaston's , for the last 20+ years. Such a wonderful place.

Great looking inside. I just noticed that your front seats fitted with headset holder straps. May I ask is that original or aftermarket works? Thanks.

I wish I could go flying with this guy. What a stud!

Does every engine require cleaning like this?

Home sweat home!

I think I've been there before

Excellent job on this video - I watch it when I forget particular sequences. Such an easy to follow guide. Thank you!

I’ve NEVER had a bad day trout fishing that area. Even as a non pilot (but I come from a family of aviators and know the lingo) I was always curious about that airport. Great video!

Hi Al, I agree. Too bad the Vision Jet does not allow this to work through Garmin Connext. It would makes calls and texts easier. Then again, that might bring up usage costs since its pretty tedious using the GTC keyboard to send texts. Safe flying!

Went to Gaston's for Mother's Day brunch and watched the planes. It made me think restaurants with their own airfield must be a thing and I just never heard about it. 😊

Great little walkaround here. I appreciate the detailed look. Those seats are perfect.

you forgot 1 important thing that would stop you from getting a turbo over normal. the $$ diff

So much unnecessary procedure

If every trip in the fancy jet includes three hours of effing around on the ground, why bother? Driving the same route in my Corolla, I could have been there by now. ...and saved millions! hahahaha

Landed there many times

It always seems that your first part of the approach is way too tight between those trees

4:03 Dilithium Access = Star Trek reference.

Never feel confident in anything..lots of millions to be proficient.

Been there many a time in UH-1s or UH-60s!

Easy, the SR20 with the IO360 😉, where 130kts @ 8.5 gph is still normal operation 😂

Great video Al. Making a descending left base (to land to the west) over the river gives us airspeed from potential energy of altitude to prevent stall. Thus a 1 g turn of whatever bank angle. Good energy management. Since down drainage egress is a major consideration, takeoff to the east seems safer to me even with some tailwind. If we use the soft field takeoff technique, which is actually the best short field technique because of extra free ground effect energy, we can easily make cruise airspeed level in low ground effect before pitch up. Yes, the bluff is high. Zoom reserve airspeed, enough airspeed to be able to maneuver quickly without stall, will enable us to turn over the field where the big wire with lots of flags attaches to the first pole (or second) on the ground after descending the bluff. With Vy over the bluff, the outcome of the maneuver is always in doubt. Down drainage over what we call a "bottom field" in river country, with zoom reserve airspeed (save it by not pitching up immediately), is never in doubt.

I'm based at KBPK, right beside Gastons. Please everyone monitor 123.00 on your second radio because, KFLP, KBPK, and the Valley are all on that frequency and for some stupid reason Gaston's on its own frequency and there have been lots of near misses. With that being said, Gastons always fun to land at, but guess since fly over it all the time I take it for granted!

Great place, have flown in many times.BTW the approach to final should always be on 24, as ther power lines close to 06.

Doesn't a turbin go on your head?

Where did you steal that fire department water can 😅
