Cirrus SF50 Full Length Flight | IFR Turweston To Cranfield | RNP Approach

In the final Cirrus SF50 video we depart Turweston on a short flight over to Cranfield and fly the RNP (GPS) approach to RWY03. I hope you've enjoyed this mini series, it has been absolutely awesome to share what the Cirrus Jet is like!

Brilliant end to the series, nice one Ben

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks a lot, Joe!

[@joecornelius6714]

Awesome video!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks a lot, Joe!

Hello mate, I always got confused about departures without a specific clearance (IE information or Radio AD). Although flying IFR, would you be able do depart Turweston in genuine IMC? I ask since the initial departure looked visual. I feel like they didn't teach me this stuff in my IR!

[@johnharris4600]

Hi Love the Video, I particularly like the details of the flight ✈️
Also Love your Pilot Watch can I ask what Brand it is,
Regards John 😇

Nice to see the ex Cabair trainer G OCAM at Turweston, I had a 50 th birthday flight in her in 1997.

[@ChrisPinCornwall]

Blimey! I flew gliders from Turweston in the early 80s. Seems to have changed a bit. Nice video. Thanks.

[@aviatordube]

Honestly never get bored of your videos Ben. Making me feel like I’m actually learning.
my PPL training is going well so far :D

[@PlaneOldBen]

Ah that’s really kind, thanks a lot!

[@Matt.Jernigan]

Ben, just out of curiosity how long would it take to go 650nm in the vision jet? With average weather. Thanks

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Enjoyed the video. Seemed to be a lot of power fluctuations while on auto-throttle. Is that normal?

[@PlaneOldBen]

It was due to the aircraft being so light, only needed a low thrust setting to maintain VApp then it overcompensates slightly due to the spool time of the engine from low RPM. There were also some thermals around affecting it too.

[@raspect333]

I was at egnh flying a high-G Cessna the guys who run it were talking about you Ben.

[@stuartwarren3034]

Would love a flight in the sf50 if you are passing Sywell anytime ;-)

[@PlaneOldBen]

Haha, would be cool to take it into there! Such a lovely airfield.

[@stuartwarren3034]

@@PlaneOldBen bring it on! Let me know the cost of any landing fees, lunch and a flight back!

[@LWJCarroll]

Enjoyable flight thanks and being able to read the left lcd screen!.....BTW is the flat keyboard done by "feel" as it doesn't seem to be visible to the LH pilot...??? Thanks Laurie

[@PlaneOldBen]

You can move the tiles around from right to left, it’s super neat!

[@alzdeane]

I fly from Turweston (and used to fly from Cranfield). Seems Cranfield's ATC guys have improved since I was last there, they were usually 'abrasive' a few years ago...

[@PlaneOldBen]

That’s a shame, they were great with us!

[@rhco.itservices3388]

I fly from Cranfield all the time, tried to see you but never had the chance 😥🥲🥲🥺 - hopefully one day!!!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽👍🏽

[@PlaneOldBen]

That’s cool! Hopefully one day 👍🏼

[@mental720s]

Can I rent this plane from you perhaps (you fly with)?
I'm considering buying one but there isn't many in the UK. Let me know

[@PlaneOldBen]

If only!

[@thescurry]

Vision Jet videos... om nom nom nom!!!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Haha it has been really cool to release videos in this!

[@OzzySafa]

Interesting I've flown to both Turweston and Cranfield. Glad to see this beauty there!

[@PlaneOldBen]

That’s cool!

[@singlecom]

Nicely operated Ben, but where has all the fun gone? Much button pressing but very little hand flying. I guess this is the way it is going now thanks to wonderful avionics and autopilots. Even if you were incapacitated one press of a button wold take you safely to the nearest suitable airfield.
I’d just like to see you appearing to enjoy it a little more !

[@PlaneOldBen]

It was definitely enjoyable!

[@willcamden9684]

Another great video Ben!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks, Will!

[@jackbrasier-creagh9139]

I flew into Cranfield on my QXC. Nice long runway and great ATC Services.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Awesome!

[@mikeorlowski_]

A Flaris copy?

[@christopherhadsell9049]

Quite an exciting, albeit short trip! A little turbulence to spice things up. Thanks for sharing!

[@PlaneOldBen]

It was awesome, thanks Christopher.

Nice plane :D

Excellent emoji choice.

[@mr.ginnationfunlifestyle3891]

Great airplane. Great nice video. But a long checklist on the Cirrus. Burns a lot of fuel before you get rolling.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Compared to some other types I don’t think it burns much fuel at all!

[@mr.ginnationfunlifestyle3891]

@@PlaneOldBen yes if you look it that way 😉

[@thiemostam]

Very nice end to the SF50 series mate, great video!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks mate!

[@forfengeligfaen]

Is that a camera or does the panel know exactly where the paint is on the tarmac?

[@PlaneOldBen]

It’s the synthetic vision building in roughly where the centreline would be.

[@forfengeligfaen]

@@PlaneOldBen seemed to know exactly where the paint is. Maybe it just got lucky

[@jeffbridges666]

Nice one Ben, what a cute little jet eh ?

[@PlaneOldBen]

Isn’t it just awesome!

Thanks, Donald!
