Thanks so much for taking the time to share this flight and the knowledge you share.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.
Fantastic video. I’ve recently found your channel and these are some great videos. That camera placement provides what I like to call the best seat in the house. Nice job with the single pilot IFR workload…that vision jet is really nice to say the least. I like how throughout the flight your talking aircraft specs and performance data for those of us not familiar with that aircraft. Again great video and looking forward to future flights.
@@mrkc10 Thank you very much! The feedback is very helpful. Some viewers like the full length videos and others like the shorter, feature videos. I try to produce both and keep the content coming. Thanks for being there to watch it1!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
NOTAMS......I learned it as NOTICE TO AIRMEN but you taught me NOTICE TO AIR MISSIONS......which I can see too and makes sense.
@@jwhit3849 Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) have a new name: Notices to Air Mission.
Effective Dec. 2, 2021, the new name is a “more applicable term” that is “inclusive of all aviators and missions.”
Hello. Fellow Brickyard pilot here. Just discovered your page and subscribed. Loving the new jet and look forward to watching and learning more about the plane. Safe travels 🤙
@@TheTedStriker007 Thanks for watching and coming along!! Really appreciate it!
When’s the next video Don? Haha missing the great content.
Nothing like getting that seal approval for the landing! Definitely the icing on the cake! Be well, brother!
You got that right! I was thinking I landed a little fast and was happy I didn’t balloon on the flare so it was nice to hear she approved.
I’ve never been north of Tennessee, but it looks beautiful around Laconia. I’ve heard a lot of wonderful things about the VT/NH area. Great video, as always, Don!
Thanks Matt
Definitely check it out if you get the chance. Beautiful, rugged country. I don't think I'd want to live there in the winter, but it's a great place to visit in the summer and spectacular in early fall when the leaves change.
Thank you for sharing and i can not wait until for fly with you for real and you are worth it buddy
IFR, well done!
Thank you for watching and for commenting!
Nice flight. Thanks for taking us along. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you get a faster cruise if the temperature is higher if you're cruising at a fixed mach number, I seem to recall that the speed of sound goes as the square root of temperature or something like that, so mach 0.52 will be a couple knots faster if you're 15 or 20 degrees above standard.
You are correct. I was actually not referring to Mach in the discussion. I was referring to IAS.
Enjoyed the flight! Thanks for the ride!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the reply, Dan. I received my private pilot in 1988 when I was 31. Passed my instrument written and did a lot of my instrument training. Flu for a while and gradually decided I needed to do less stressful things. It’s amazing to see how automated flying has become compared to Planes from years ago. Of course you can’t compare a cirrus to a piper Cherokee or any other plane. It’s in a class by itself and much safer. Look forward to seeing more of your videos. Be safe ( female former flyer)
Great flight!
@@noleftturns Thanks! It was a fun flight.
Always enjoy riding with you, I feel like I'm looking over you shoulder and it was nice flying the approach to 08 at LCI, say hello to you co-pilot.
Hi John! Thanks for watching! We hope to see you on our way out, like last time. Take care Pal!
I like the longer full flight video, good job! Interesting how your fuel sync gets messed up when using flightstream, must be a bug.
@@ProPilotPete Hey there PPP! Thanks for watching. It’s a strange Garmin bug that sneaks up of you don’t catch it.
Can we get more footage of the new radar!?!? Love radar footage!
I will see what I can do. I filmed a flight last week showing more radar and comparing the manual and auto modes. Unfortunately the audio wasn’t good because I was powering a camera with a panel USB and it created a lot of noise.
Great video as always! I am not a pilot but love airplanes and hope to someday get my PPL. Sorry for the noobie question, but when you levelled at FL310, there was no visibility for a while. What are the steps you take in that case? I assume no turbulence; no icing conditions allow you to stay at that FL? What would make you want to go to a lower FL? Thanks from Auckland, New Zealand!
@@LucasPossamai Thanks for the question. The plane can handle the conditions at FL310 and it has the best fuel economy up there. We can stay in instrument weather unless there is thunderstorms or turbulence. Very cold conditions are not a problem for the jet. Moderately cold temperatures are more risky since ice can form. This does not happen when temperatures are cooler than -20C.
@@DonAv8s Thanks a lot! :)
Is that a human or a mannequin in the right seat? Can't tell haha
It’s a real person who is reading.
my fav plane in mfs 🤠
sameee
Is there a reason you only use 60% thrust while climbing? Is it for fuel efficiency?
@@Account-p1d We use maximum continuous thrust in the climb, which is all the thrust there is due to FADEC limitations. The percentage of power is not quite the same as piston aircraft for example since the indication is not actually an indication of true thrust. It is more like the percentage of total thrust available.
☆☆☆☆Question:☆☆☆☆
Is their a below or above certain air speed or a low or height requirement if you need to pull the parachute?
@@rwedel738 Thanks for watching and the question…. Yes to both… There are speed and altitude limitations. The CAPS system or Cirrus Airframe Parachute System can be deployed safety above 600 ft above the ground or more and IF the aircraft is between 135 knots indicated airspeed or 145 knots true air speed. Above those speeds, the system monitors speeds trends and will wait to deploy the rocket to send the parachute if the plane is slowing to envelope speed. If the system senses the plane is speeding up due to loss of control, it will deploy the parachute. You can imagine it would be hard to slow from 300 knots true airspeed to 145 knots true airspeeds quickly in cruise flight or in a descent. The only way is to abruptly pitch up to bleed off airspeed quickly.
@@DonAv8s
Thank you so very much for the detailed explanation.
Was that landing airport without a tower? Have seen that before from a guy in Fl
That is correct. The airport in New Hampshire is a non towered airport.
@@DonAv8s fascinating
Do those Oakleys not hurt your temples under the headset?
I often wear Oakley “Cable” sunglasses and they work great because of the thin arm design. That being said, I also know how to fit the Bose headset so I do not encounter much induced pressure over the crown or over the ears. Thanks for watching.
I am no pilot but I was wondering if its possible to put 7 adults in that plane?
Also, with 7 adults and some cargo, How far can it go?
While there is seven seats, two are limited to 90 lbs passengers. No jet in the light jet category can seat seven adults.
@@DonAv8s Okay so a family of two with 4 children with lets say 80KG of luggage, how far can it go?
@@aleyrizvi Thats a lot of luggage. Passenger weights matter, but I can say you cannot fill the plane with passengers and baggage and go far. The optimal mission is 2-4 adults and light baggage.
I have to ask, sorry. Who is in the right hand seat. They remained motionless the whole flight. Beginning to think he’s hauling a corpse.
It happens to be my wife and she is an avid reader. She reads while on the plane. She does not like being heard on the videos.
Why does the VNE speed seem to vary depending on your altitude?
Vne was not mentioned. I refer to VMO and MMO as max airspeeds. They are always the same. VMO is 250 KIAS and MMO is 0.53 Mach. What is discussed is the relationship between IAS and TAS based upon altitude.
@@DonAv8s What I mean is at 27:30 in the video, on the airspeed indicator your redline seems to be right at 190 indicated. However then at 28:30 the redline appears to be just above 220 indicated, then in the descent at 32:00 it's at 250 indicated.
@@BryantVucich Yes, this was explained since KIAS and KTAS diverge as altitude increases. The plane will never display 250 KIAS or 0.53 Mach at the same time dues to changes in ai density as altitudes increase. The plane does not use VMO for speed reference above FL180. It uses MMO or max mach number in the flight levels. KIAS is used for stall speed and VRef at all altitudes, but KTAS is a better reference for actual speed in the flight levels.
It does blow me away how poor of performance a $4-million jet has. Getting a 500fpm climb with engine anti-ice on is nuts. I mean the overall climb rate didn't look too spectacular.
I fly them, didn’t design the plane.
Blown away? 4 million? More like $3.2 million plus prepaid maintenance. Have you looked at flight level climb performance at max gross weight for M2, or Phenom 100? Those are about $6m and over twice the cost of operation. The Williams engine only makes 1846 lbs of thrust at sea level, but only burns between 58-70 gals per hour in MCT cruise. In icing we have to maintain 160 KIAS and that limits the climb rate.
@@DonAv8s Never said you designed the plane. It's a great plane for people that want to have a single-engine jet rating I guess. Overall though, the performance is something that continues to plague the SF50. Aside from maybe a million dollar price difference -- which when we're talking "millions", what's another million -- I don't know why anyone would buy an SF50 over say a TBM 960.
The SF50 is too wide for its length, so it creates too much drag. The engine is too small and can't move enough air which makes it inefficient. That inefficiency means much more fuel burned vs. thrust generated. The wing is too thick -- jets need a swept wing to get closer to mach 1.
Once you factor in useful load is half of a turboprop, take-off and landing distance are twice a turboprop, fuel burn is twice a turboprop, range is poor unless the plane is pretty empty, etc...I just can't see purchasing one. The SF50 has very limited useful load and its hot and high performance sucks. On top of that, you need an annual 61.58 ride.
Does it have cool factors? Absolutely. Do I see why some people buy them? Yup. However, if you're actually crunching the numbers on it, I just can't see the appeal -- outside of "I fly a jet!"
@@LimaFoxtrot Aviation is full of opinions and preferences. As it should be… Price out a TBM at acquisition and then cost of operation and ownership. Yes, another 2-3 million at acquisition does matter. Personally, I don’t have a budget for a $5-6m aircraft. Why pay twice as much to only gain 25% better speed, payload or endurance? Then review the cabin experience compared to other aircrafts. Passengers do not like facing rearward in club seats… You’re obviously biased against the Vision Jet, as many are. That is fine but you still watched this content… What are you flying? I have flown TBM’s, M600’s, and M500’s and I prefer SF50 based upon acquisition, maintenance support, standardized training, cabin experience, fit and finish.
Hard to hear you with all the air traffic controllers/ conversations. Can you zero that out for your conversations? Most RUclips pilots silence it. Otherwise fantastic video.
Noted!
Please don’t! This was splendid, don’t allow one non pilots complaint to change your style! If you can’t listen to multiple sources and decipher which you want to listen to, you shouldn’t be flying it’s an important skill.
@@jmax8692 Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the perspective. I record live audio from the audio panel so I need to hear communications coming in. I can probably work on lowering the ATC audio but I think most viewers are like you and want to hear ATC. Thanks!
to fly with 0 visibility for so long. just wow.
@@aratosm Thanks for watching! Having training and equipment really makes this kind of flying possible and safe.
