I used to wear oxygen masks for hours and hours in our turbo Baron survey flying. Usually 25,000 feet for 4 to 5 hours. Day after day. Often two flights a day. It dehydrates you quickly. The first beer at the end of the day never even touched the sides. And it was cold up there. So so cold. As usual Stef these videos are awesome. What an adventure!
as an ex asbestos worker and big aviation enthusiast I certainly would love to experience what that is like since I'm used to wearing respiratory masks for prolonged periods of time. never had the chance so far unfortunately to do high altitude flights, but I think I'd like it it, however don't they have oxygen masks nowadays with integrated drink straws that you can screw onto a water bottle?
I remember riding to East Midlands Airport as a kid with mates during summer school holidays from Beeston. Great memories of growing up in the Midlands
Stef, you're gonna be the reason I go for my IFR rating. Still waiting for you to visit Switzerland. Wishing you many happy landings and thanks for the great aviation content.
Great to watch your videos, Stefan! Thanks for making them. One question: why do you say paPA, whereas most (eg. ATC in this video) say PApa? Doesn’t that increase the risk of inaccuracies? Just curious, not criticising!
Looks like your next flight is going from Elstree! That’s where I fly from in my PA28 Archer. Great Aerodrome with pretty short runway. Enjoy! Can’t wait to see the upload. This series was incredible!!! Absolutely loved it! Take care, safe flying! Stephen from Elstree
For those asking about the survival suite. They are both wearing them. If you look at many shots in the last video and this one you will see that Philippe (spelling?) just has it pulled down, while still having it on from his feet to his waist.
Amazing adventure Stefan. Crossing the Atlantic in a single engine towards Groenland is on my bucket list… CONGRATS!!!!Looking forward to your next adventures
Wow, Donair Flying Club! That brings back some memories -- I got my RT licence and my night rating with them back in 2004! Must get a CASA licence out here in Sydney some day!
Great video Stefan, I wonder if you follow or know John Page, taught me all I know on the SR22, has a VLOG flying an SF50 UK to Oz and also an SR22 delivery from USA to UK?
again and again and again! these videos are amazing Stef! the only break I have from studying for my exams. Love to get these video notifications and knowing my break will be amazing!
Love your videos. Did you have any issues with the SR22T getting enough pressurized air for the engine to climb? At what altitude did you kick on High Boost and did you have to run the mixture a bit more rich than normal? I just recently flew at FL250 and my SR22T (new) was overheating starting at FL220. I had to level out and let it cool down and then climb 1k feet in increments.
I really enjoyed watching this Stef. Different, great locations; awesome weather; changes in ATC accents and the mate ship between you and Philippe. Awesome memories for you.
What were your blood oxygen levels at lower altitude? I see you measured 83% at altitude before then cranking up the flow of oxygen a bit. What oxygen blood level were you targeting with the use of supplementary oxygen at altitude?
Could you please answer a question for me….I have seen some videos of pilots flying other cirrus sr22’s with oxygen masks like yours, I’ve also seen videos of pilots flying st22’s wearing an oxygen just to their nose. Can you tell me why the difference ….is it different flight levels or country requirements or just preference or what. Thank you
Most people can use cannula up to about 20-22k feet and maintain saturation levels in the 90's. Some believe that in the US you are required to wear a mask above 18k, but there is no actual reg for it, it is just a recommendation. Things start to drop off pretty quickly above about 22k, so mask is a must at that point. I try to keep my oxygen flows to stay around 90%, if my saturation levels drop to 87-88% I know I need to take action pretty quickly (as in the next 5-10 minutes). Slightly lower altitude or a bit higher oxygen flow can fix things pretty quickly. Also, duration of flight plays a role. I have no problem popping up to 14k for 30 minutes (legal limit for that altitude), but I would not want to do a 5 hour leg at 12k without supplemental oxygen (even thought it is legal). I know I will feel really tired and beat up at the end of that 5 hours, to the point where even flying an approach would be challenging.
Awesome vid Stef, these type of videos are very mourish, look forward to the next one, just out of interest, what is the max height that the Cirrus can fly?? Cheers
I used to fly with Guy who would put the oxygen line in his nose while he ate his Jerk Chicken and Pumkin rice. If he reads this he will know who he is😂. Nice Video looks like great fun.
Loved the video Stef. I have a dream to fly family around the world within the next 10 years - before kids too old and busy with life. Would massively appreciate what you paid in handling fees at wick and in Iceland
Interesting flight. I noticed you were doing TAS 193 at 77% power at FL 230. Is this typical for SR 22 Turbo? Seems a little slow at FL 230. Not an honest 200ktas airplane.
@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549 IAS was showing 131 at FL230. TAS on PFD was 193 and ground speed 197. Cirrus advertised 213 at 250. I would expect solid 200KTAS at FL 230 and 77% power as per MFD
Sorry Stef, I get the impression that Victor Pappaaah is not appreciated internationally. What's wrong with Victor Papa? I sincerely hope you are not developing an annoying habit yourself!
Please Stef, enough of these videos where you try to chill and act cook while seriously taking risks to make these videos with the aim of gathering more views. It is really not needed, you have people waiting for you at home and we as well enjoy seeing you flying in normal conditions as well, without having to cross the atlantic in full FIKI conditions with oxygen mask because over FL200. We're here for you, your kind manners and the quality of content, not for the rush of andrenaline. love from Italy Emilio
Civil aviation regulations mandate the use of supplementary oxygen, typically from 12,000 feet. So even if you think you are fit above average, you have to have it (and have to use it).

@@Beef3Dyeah, I’ve seen the U-2 crews use those. Haven’t seen them in GA, yet. (But that may be my bad 😉)

I like how you dipped the audio when you took your headset off, and then brought it back in when you put your headset back on. Great editing.

5:42 love the attention to detail with the sound here. Great watch!
Ya know what a great series would be, Stef and Philippe fly round the world in this aircraft :D
was thinking exactly of this

Thanks gervers, yes that's where the new aircraft is based. A few UK flying stories still to come...

Thank you for sharing
Enjoyed that awesome flight!
Great video I want to do this some day .... done it a ton in jet liners. My GF just got her dual citizenship in the UK.
Very enjoyable - thanks for sharing the experience.
Thanks for following along Beevo
I recognise that SR22 at Elstree!!! I guess this was filmed a while ago, would have loved to say hi!!
Good morning Stefan!! Are You’ve been in Elstree yesterday!? I’m not sure but I think, I see the time when your landing at Elstree… 😊
A dream adventure, thanks for sharing!

Great series Stef!
Just an idea for your next trip: a flying tour off all the countries surrounding the mediterranean.
Is the survival suit a choice to wear? I thought it was mandatory when crossing water
This was a great trip Stef. Thanks for letting us tag along
Curious as to why your friend/copilot isn't wearing the wet suit?
Excellent video!
Glad you liked it, thanks
Great flight. What’s the service ceiling on the turbo?
The nice thing about starting to watch a video like this is that I know it's going to turn out ok. :)
Good video Stefan.
How about a trip somewhere in the vision jet??

Fantastic series of videos Stef, what an amazing adventure. Thanks for making these so we can travel along with you.
Great series Stefan. Have really enjoyed watching this amazing adventure & looking forward to the next one!!
Cheers Nigel, thanks for following along.
@@StefanDrury Enjoying every minute!!
Awesome vid Stef, these type of videos are very mourish, look forward to the next one, just out of interest, what is the max height that the Cirrus can fly?? Cheers
Beautiful as always
Cheers Dave
What happens if tou don’t confirm the hyporia/alert-warning? Will the autopilot automatically make the plane descend?
Ehm....well......thanks for taking me with you :)
Nice video
That ice scared me
You are right to be scared, but that aircraft had an effective anti-icing system; at least for the amount of icing they experienced.
I used to fly with Guy who would put the oxygen line in his nose while he ate his Jerk Chicken and Pumkin rice. If he reads this he will know who he is😂.

G,day Stef from Sydney Australia. Now that's serious flying. You may get to rub shoulders with Dick Smith (unsure if he is an AO).
🌏🇭🇲

@@rafalwyszkowski70 is it possible that they are flying at a best range speed?
So that O2 was a whopping 3LPM?
Why did Philippe not wear a dry suit?
you flew over my house :D EGNX
Is there a hypoxia chamber where GA pilots can do training in Aus? I'd LOOOVE to see you go through that training, Stef!
Silly me ! I thought all oceans were at sea level. Where is the high altitude ocean that you crossed?
looks boring and anxious at the same time
I confused right now. Why did stef say he can't be freinds with Phillipe anymore???
Because he's introduced me to the world of Turbo aircraft, which is an expensive world.
Sorry Stef, I get the impression that Victor Pappaaah is not appreciated internationally. What's wrong with Victor Papa? I sincerely hope you are not developing an annoying habit yourself!
He has daddy issues 😂
will the goat respond??
Why are you wearing a survival suit and the other guy is not?

Somebody Fart?
How is 23k high altitude?
How is it not ?
@@TimToussaint planes go higher than that
And people have climbed Everest (29000ft) without oxygen!!!!!
Many more have become sick at lower atlitudes. You don't take risks you don't need to.
Well if that was the case then we'd still all be living in Africa!@@tlangdon12
Civil aviation regulations mandate the use of supplementary oxygen, typically from 12,000 feet. So even if you think you are fit above average, you have to have it (and have to use it).
Would you do it in an electric plane? Oh wait, you cant
