So many flight issues that could or might happen. Very good flight great representation and flight hours needed to accomplish your rating. Be safe and thank you. Onward 🌈 to great ways and prosperous days.
Great video as always, hope you don't mind me saying, these longer format videos are the best 😊, because you can get engrossed in them cheers andrew, from Scotland,
My current 22 is identical to yours but with the factory O2. Still has a 1241 lb useful, which is so nice. Based in SC. Previous 22 did not have factory O2 but used a mountain high system which worked well. Keep the vids coming, great job.
@ There is a check of the regulator and flow equipment I believe every two years and you are required to replace the bottle I think every 7 or 8 years. Of course there is a cost involved in refilling which is fairly nominal. Precise flight is the supplier to Cirrus for the OEM systems. I am satisfied with it so far. They do sell portable systems as well I believe.
If you are not left handed......did you find using your left hand for the side stick somewhat awkward to begin with???....good channel good flying....awesome plane...thanks
You fly nearly every aircraft from the left seat with the left hand. There are very few where you don't (like a Zenith, or some RVs). Even the center stick on a Diamond is controlled with the left hand. It's no more difficult than driving a stick shift with your left hand on the wheel.
Maintenance shops will just give you a sticker to add to the log books with all the necessary info. You never want to store log books in the airplane longterm.
@@jvke.p The POH is a legal minimum. ALT1 is a gear-driven alternator. If you don't know how or why it failed, then your next question should be "what's going to fail next?" Stop the holes of the swiss cheese from lining up. There are at least two documented mechanical failures of ALT1 that led to a crack in the engine case, and one of them (N19BV) led to a CAPS pull after the engine failed to due to oil loss and the pilot was seriously injured. If I am 1hr from home and 2.5hr from a destination that I have never flown to before, then I am at a minimum returning home.
Also since the batteries of the GoPros don't last more than 80 to 90 minutes. How did you resync the videos when you turned the cameras back on? Thank you
I lost full Alternator which resulted in loss of AC, radio 1, flaps and trim capability (I landed no flaps immediately since they were lost). Be mindful of the differences in case it happens again. CAPS placard should be removed for flight. Good job overall.
Oxygen systems? If you could get the OEM from Cirrus retrofitted in, that'd be the best solution... but otherwise, I'm a huge fan of the Aerox and Mountain High systems.

Love the video. Gorgeous SR22. Not sure I personally agree with leaving the caps cover fully on but your the PIC. Keep up the great editing.
I see the fence up from where they tore down the old terminal. Great walk through. 👍

Did you have additional maintenance requirements with OEM installed 02 system?

I didn’t, thought it was going to be awkward. Felt natural almost.
@@carsonreddell9279 Thats good...i am left handed and the thot of having to use my right hand on any device, sounds scary....
I was quite worried the first time I flew a Cirrus. I just completely forgot about it before I even left the ground. It’s completely natural.
@@ThorNjord very good...thanks for the reply
How does maintenance on the road work? Don't they need to log it in one of the aircraft log books? Do you just keep those with you all the time?

@golfcoastpilot Thank you for the response! Great channel! I'm excited to watch more of your sr22 content
When ALT1 failed, I would have diverted to the nearest airport for repair rather than fly 2.5hrs with an unknown electrical fault.
I mean it’s what the POH says… and it’s entirely daytime VMC

Definitely a fair point, I respect your ADM. I will continue to do what Cirrus advices as they are the experts!
Moreover, the 19BV failure was the result of a maintenance error! Not saying it couldn’t happen to again, but definitely a stretch!
Also since the batteries of the GoPros don't last more than 80 to 90 minutes. How did you resync the videos when you turned the cameras back on? Thank you
Batteries last the whole time. Reading lips or using GoPro audio works for me!
What kind of camera mount are you using for the center camera facing the front? Is that a suction mount like the other cameras? Thank you
All my equipment is linked in the description. Yes suction cup mount.
I lost full Alternator which resulted in loss of AC, radio 1, flaps and trim capability (I landed no flaps immediately since they were lost). Be mindful of the differences in case it happens again. CAPS placard should be removed for flight. Good job overall.
You lost both 1 and 2?
@ Just 1, but 2 probably would have failed had I not landed 10-15 min later.
I live an hour west of Leesburg welcome to the area!!.

Good thought, thanks!
Pilot only - Inogen. 4 ppl Mountain High (read test comparison data on their site, they’re better than some masks)
Where did you get the electrical checklist? I’d like to have one of those. WDE!
Drop your email below or dm me on instagram, happy to share👍
Aren’t you supposed to have that caps cover off your whole time youre in the plane?
Just “pin removed”
Cannot find link to xl spreadsheet
Linked in description! Southlandaerials.com/golfcoastpilot
Save yourself the trouble of always having to refill oxygen tanks and get an oxygen concentrator. I have the Inogen one G5 and I love it.
Great idea! Thanks!!
