Neat video Niko! Nice touch with the engine noise when you pulled the headsets. Your SR22 is an amazingly capable airplane. Turbos, TKS, a chute, great avionics package...what's not to love. :)
@@XMRPIIMPX And exceedingly impossible as the speed required to be able to fly at that altitude would be as fast as the International Space Station. That, and pilots flying above 50,000 feet need a space suit. The International Space Station flies almost 30 times that high. His Cessna-like aircraft would almost certainly be ripped and burned apart by the atmosphere.
25k is the cruise for a 737 with one of the cabin air packs offline, normal cruise is about 35k. Besides that I cruise a c150 over jets all the time(all planes are at 0 agl some point in their flight.)
Yes... "Zulu" is the aviation/military term for zed (Z)... Alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, echo... All the way to "zulu"... Also, in aviation/military, "zulu" is a time format... So 1:00pm would be 1300 zulu...
Really liked how you cut in the engine/cabin audio for the couple seconds you had the headset off while removing mask. Really immersive, nice small touch!
Blood will begin to boil at about 60K-62K feet. Military pilots wear pressurized suits above 59K feet, for non-military pilots it's 49K feet. Breathing pure O2 through an unsealed mask at 39K feet delivers the same partial O2 pressure as 20% O2 at 11,800 feet. Above that altitude, the mask must be sealed and delivering pure 02 at a higher pressure.
My GA airport is near both a class B and two military class D so I regularly fly c172 and c150 over large transport jets at 3000ft: C-17 in sight 10oclock low.
I really enjoy your videos and your entire approach to aviation. Over my flying career, I’ve spent 10,000+ hours in the flight levels, so I am qualified to make some suggestions. Suggestion #1: Even though you’re not required to have the high altitude endorsement, you do have to have the knowledge that is associated with it. I strongly recommend that you get it sooner rather than later if you’re going to be flying up there. Suggestion #2: You NEED to spend some quality time in an altitude chamber. You can find several RUclips videos showing how insidious hypoxia can be. One of the common symptoms is a feeling of well being, but everyone has their personal response to it. You need to know what yours are and the only safe way to find out is in an altitude chamber. The FAA sponsors clinics all across the country. Seriously, you need to do this it will open your eyes. Also not, that the chambers only take you to 25,000 ft so the effects are what you are exposing yourself to in your Cirrus. Suggestion #3: I highly recommend you carry a small backup O2 bottle and mask. They’re not expensive and can save your keister in the event a problem with your built in system. They’ll provide you with enough O2 to get you safely down to a breathable altitude. Finally, I didn’t see that you switched to 29.92 climbing through FL180, but as a CFII, I’ve got to mention it. All that being said, I congratulate you on your professional approach to flying.
Thanks Ward, you are absolutely correct about all that and my flying requires as much knowledge of the topic and backups as possible. As far as std QNH I did and I think you can see it on 1 clip when I was just passed 18,000. This airplane does not let you forget it either. It annunciates it
Roy D Back in the "Bad Old Days" we flew our Turbocharged high performance singles at 28,000 to as high as 35,000 lots of times. It was to get the best possible tail wind, thus shorten the trip!
8000m altitude was the "all days" work from the allied raids over germany during WW2, and some WW2 reconnaissance aircrafts fly up to 12000m...all use specific superchargers to maintain the engine power at higher altitudes...
Several years ago a man in South Florida flew a World War II P-51 Mustang to 42,500 feet breaking the record for that aircraft since the 1940s . No pressurization just wearing his oxygen mask
I really feel like something has recently excited you about your channel, almost like you have hit a second wind. I can really see a difference in your production. We only see the final video and sometimes don’t realize the hours that is put into making the video. Thanks for taking time from your family and company to make these videos for everyone. Safe travels!
Great that you expressed how comfortable you are in your new aircraft. That’s saying a lot when you’re in one position for hours, especially with an unwieldy O2 mask, looking out for pesky icing. Great flight and thanks once again for taking us along!
Niko I have been watching your videos for a while now, and really enjoy them, your safety awareness, knowledge, skill, and proficiency is phenomenal. you have given the General Aviation pilot community exceptional credibility and are a true asset. Keep them coming and enjoy that beautiful SR22 !!!
Another nice video, Niko, and a good example of how even after you take off, the decision making, the re-checking and the re-planning doesn't stop until you land. The nice tailwind was the icing on the cake!
watched several videos of yours and it's nice to get tune in to the radio chatter. I'm hard of hearing and can hear most of everything being said but the Air traffic talk lingo takes getting used to. Thanks for a great flight.
Be safe up there man. My uncle and cousin were doing a similar flight at 25,000 feet in a Columbia 400.. electrical problems led to loss of oxygen and they ended up getting hypoxia and went down.
Great editing, especially around 13:00 when you removed your headset and made the engine noise louder, and then quieter when you put them on again! just like in real life! subscribed!
This reminds me when I was learning to fly and I was up with another student and an instructor. We were way out and started heading back. Our instructor is the kind of guy to not say much after he is confident and just go over stuff later. So the student lines up to land but we are still 40 miles from the airport. He switches over to the tower and tells them he is on a four-zero mile final. Haha. They said, "Thats nice. Switch back to ATC" LMAO!! Our instructor laughed the entire flight back. He said, "A forty mile final, huh? I bet the guys in the tower will love to meet you when we get back".
@@Elguapo93 Well no, not exactly what that other person said. Basically while you are flying in controlled airspace, you are talking to ATC (air traffic control). When you are landing, you are talking to the tower at a particular airport you are landing at. In mostly all cases, in controlled airspace, there is a point when you are close enough to your destination airport where ATC will hand you off to the tower and begin your final approach to land. Now, 40 miles from the airport would NOT be an ideal hand off time because you still have many miles to fly and be monitored by the ATC before you even think about landing. This is why it was funny. Usually, 7 to 10 miles out is the maximum in most cases but there is no set number. Depends on the air space, the airport, weather conditions, type of aircraft, and the confidence of the pilot. Switching over to the tower frequency when you are 40 miles out will let the tower know, they have an amateur on their hands and they need to watch them closely. Its a very stupid thing to do.
Great video, thank for doing it. Highest that I ever flew as a pilot was 12500 in Colorado in the early 1970's in a non turbo Cessna 182. Also, great thing that you did helping Baron Pilot to pick up his airplane. I did a few similar flights helping friends that needed a ride to get their airplane to another airport for maintenance back when I owned a Cessna 150 in the 1970's. I was always looking for an excuse to fly...
Very smooth flight and video.. This gives me an insight into what single engined fighter pilots during WW2 had to endure.. they would routinely fly at 30,000ft+ to have that height advantage for combat..and this they would repeat sometimes 4 times a day, incredible.. Much appreciate the effort you put into these videos
One can always depend on Niko to give his viewers a VERY educational aviation adventure! The Cirrus is a very impressive GA aircraft. Thank you, Niko, for sharing the flight.
I am an A320 first officer at this moment. Watching this video reminds me of the time when I was a trainee back in flight college solo flying an SR-20. It’s layout is basically the same as the SR-20 and I’m jealous how you can have one of those of your own and fly whenever wherever you want to. I wouldn’t say for sure it’s more comfortable than an A320(especially at gas masks altitudes), but it’s 100% more fun. Damn I miss those times.
Niko your videos are great, very interesting to see O2 requirements actually demonstrated. I am training up in VRB hope to hear you up there some time!
Was sitting at the Spanish River/I95 exit intersection the other day and thought I might see you pass overhead but no such luck. Great video and beautiful airplane!
Thanks for these videos. I am not a pilot by any means, but your videos are informative and interesting, as well as educational. Thanks again for posting them!
I’m not a pilot but I take the occasional lesson and I like to watch flying videos. Your videos are excellent - the best I’ve seen. I only discovered you last night and I’ve already watched 6 of them.
Its good to see Iceman is still tearing up the skies after retiring from the Navy. First video of yours I watched and I watched the entire thing. Thanks for the great content!
That is a beautiful plane. Always been curious, do those all glass cockpits still use gyroscopes for the gyroscopic readings, digitizing the readings for the display, or is it all done with programming, GPS, and electronic sensors?
Great question. The more modern ones like in the Cirrus SR22T I fly they use a combination of magnetometers, accelerometers, and other sensors to determine all that. Similar to what our cell phones use but much more reliable with backups
Also at least when it comes to such as modern airliners etc they also use high end ring laser gyroscopes that are even more accurate than mechanical gyros and more reliable too as they can operate as strapdown solid state devices with no moving parts thanks to computers doing the math for axis transformation etc. But not sure that smaller aircraft will have these yet they have come down massively in both size and cost but think they still run several thousand a piece and they are single axis sensors too so you need three. But wouldn't surprise me if they trickle down eventually hell they were like million dollar pieces of lab equipment not that many years ago.
I am comml pilot certificated but last flew a C-172 in 1977. Glass cockpits are amazing! The comp does everything for you. What do pilots do for real work :-) Love the "stick" instead of a wheel...
As a longtime fixed-wing and rotor non-commercial pilot I really enjoyed this video. I will be subscribing and looking forward to many more of your trips.
Those were two different air traffic comptroller at two different towers. When a pilot takes off and leaves his depature airport, they switch to another tower right after that.
They switch to another controller, not to another tower. Only the controller which is responsible for the CTR or the airport is called tower. The others Are Center/ approach/ departure. I am not exactly sure about the states, cause I fly in Germany (sometimes other European countries) Greetings from Germany
That Cirrus is impressive! That's the highest I've ever seen a piston aircraft fly on RUclips so far. Glad you were able to take advantage of those tailwinds. What a difference in speed! Awesome as always, Niko! 👍🍻
I keep hearing about how modern civilian planes are designed to be comfortable and easy to fly, but it's great to see a pilot directly confirming it. And looking down on that airliner made my day.
I just found this video on my RUclips recommendations and this is one of the best 16 minutes I've spent watching a video I'm no expert when it comes to aviation *(played flight simulator X as a kid from 2006 to about 2012)* but it seems you're very good at it and you enjoy it. subbed and I'll definitely keep watching the videos as they're uploaded.

this is a really amazing video, best I have ever seen on RUclips for us IFR pilots. having flown Cirrus IFR for 12years until 2015, you be right back for me the full feeling of flying and I think you for all the hard work. subscribed and liked!
Nice video it's always nice to see a local pilot in Boca. Every time I pass that airport on 95 I'm always thinking of who is coming and going and now I know thanks again.
Unbelievable Niko. The video has to be one of your best. The editing was out if this world for an "amateur" def in my top 3 from you. Then there is your comments here in the comments section explaining ga ownership in the US and fallacies around the Cirrus..... Thus is the cherry on top.....My goodness my youtube pilots (Niko, Premierdriver, 310pilot etc) are all getting really good at this video blogging thing. (Standing ovation for this one Niko)

Also at least when it comes to such as modern airliners etc they also use high end ring laser gyroscopes that are even more accurate than mechanical gyros and more reliable too as they can operate as strapdown solid state devices with no moving parts thanks to computers doing the math for axis transformation etc. But not sure that smaller aircraft will have these yet they have come down massively in both size and cost but think they still run several thousand a piece and they are single axis sensors too so you need three. But wouldn't surprise me if they trickle down eventually hell they were like million dollar pieces of lab equipment not that many years ago.
So cool! Spreading those wings a bit and getting up into the flight levels with the big boys... Another great Vid! :)
This was very nice. I watched the whole video all the way through.
I am comml pilot certificated but last flew a C-172 in 1977. Glass cockpits are amazing! The comp does everything for you.
What do pilots do for real work :-)
Love the "stick" instead of a wheel...
As a longtime fixed-wing and rotor non-commercial pilot I really enjoyed this video. I will be subscribing and looking forward to many more of your trips.
"Good morning, sir"

Yaboi Smitty he took a big L there
He said “Departure, good morning Sirius 122SZ”.
Those were two different air traffic comptroller at two different towers. When a pilot takes off and leaves his depature airport, they switch to another tower right after that.
They switch to another controller, not to another tower. Only the controller which is responsible for the CTR or the airport is called tower. The others Are Center/ approach/ departure.
I am not exactly sure about the states, cause I fly in Germany (sometimes other European countries)
Greetings from Germany
It's MA'AM
Truly impressive performance by both you and the plane.
That Cirrus is impressive! That's the highest I've ever seen a piston aircraft fly on RUclips so far. Glad you were able to take advantage of those tailwinds. What a difference in speed!
Awesome as always, Niko! 👍🍻
Hey Smitty, yes big difference
A cute little Long-EZ is good for FL270 and 2,000 mi range. Not quite as comfortable as the Cirrus but more fun.
A Piper Malibu ;-). The only pressurized SEP as far as I know.... Service ceiling 25.000 ft.
Absolutely amazing! Great job Niko. Just got my instrument rating today, you are a huge inspiration!
Congratulations captain!
TOTALY BAD ASS AND VERY EDUCATIONAL SIR! SWEET PLANE TOO! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO!
Feels like this is one of those videos that's gonna go viral.
That was crazy cool. I've done 12.5 and 13.5 VFR, but going above 20k is awesome. Time to look for a more comfortable mask. Great airplane.
Wow, hearted comment on a 4 year old video.
@srvafool why not review some old comments
@@NikosWings Agreed. Why not? Have a great day Niko!
The O2 mask should have an extra / optional soft-edge add-on-adapter to make it more comfortable. You have given me an idea for a new product.
hr 777 Thx for the idea sir
@@TF-km2ls inventions are fun
Great video as always , you know your high when airliners are passing below you .
Very cool video, thanks for letting us fly with you.
RUclips algorithm gave me a good one!
Finally
There is a lot that goes into flying wow. Great video. Very interesting to see this. Cheers from MN
Nice video as usual. Thanks for sharing and summarizing a long flight that well.
I keep hearing about how modern civilian planes are designed to be comfortable and easy to fly, but it's great to see a pilot directly confirming it. And looking down on that airliner made my day.
I just found this video on my RUclips recommendations and this is one of the best 16 minutes I've spent watching a video I'm no expert when it comes to aviation *(played flight simulator X as a kid from 2006 to about 2012)* but it seems you're very good at it and you enjoy it. subbed and I'll definitely keep watching the videos as they're uploaded.
He's a smooth operator.
Beautiful flight , brother. So smooth, very talented pilot.
I feel your pain I used to be a commercial deep-sea diver and would wear a Kirby Morgan 37 dive helmet for hours. NO FUN!!!!
A 777 pilot here, thanks for the beautiful and interesting video, nice avionics package in that small plane.I lived and went to high school back in the 1970's in Boca Raton.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hi captain, thanks for the kind words, Boca is a good place for a family
I know nothing about flying planes yet love watching these types of videos. By far this has been the most professional & enjoyable flight I’ve been on! Awesome job👍🏼
Thx Abe
Lol I'm pretty sure other airline pilots in the air were like "wtf is that a cirrus flying at this altitude?"
It's a different world at that height. Can't wait to get my Instrument Rating!
Wow! That's something! You have such a calm pleasant demeanor.
this is a really amazing video, best I have ever seen on RUclips for us IFR pilots. having flown Cirrus IFR for 12years until 2015, you be right back for me the full feeling of flying and I think you for all the hard work. subscribed and liked!
Welcome Ian
Awesome footage right thru the Flight Levels
Great video enjoyed seeing the flight and the view of the 737 flying by , subbed and gonna go watch some more !
Great flight. I'd say it's time to upgrade the mask for comfort👍
Fantastic camera work. Looking forwards to watching this channel blow up! Subbed.
What a great video brother! I’m a pilot student with about 50 hrs. Blue skies and safe flights. Thank you for sharing!
Love your use of checklists.
That was really cool. Thank you for sharing.
Nice narration and flight planning. High and fast is cool but scenery and landscape nicer down low.
Could this trip be done with a full passenger load
leslie rhodes no
What would be the problem the fuel load all the weight of the passengers
No it would be overweight. Fuel would need to be much less and obviously the distance, would require a fuel stop
Nice video it's always nice to see a local pilot in Boca. Every time I pass that airport on 95 I'm always thinking of who is coming and going and now I know thanks again.
Unbelievable Niko. The video has to be one of your best. The editing was out if this world for an "amateur" def in my top 3 from you.
Then there is your comments here in the comments section explaining ga ownership in the US and fallacies around the Cirrus..... Thus is the cherry on top.....My goodness my youtube pilots (Niko, Premierdriver, 310pilot etc) are all getting really good at this video blogging thing. (Standing ovation for this one Niko)
Thx my friend
