Very nice! I'm still laughing! :-)
you probably dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can stream all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of months xD
@Levi Kendrick Definitely, I have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :)
Always remember the propeller is a big fan that keeps the pilot cool, when it stops the pilot starts sweating
Thanks for the shares, thumbs up and comments. Hopefully no Cirrus pilots' feelings were hurt in the making of this video. They are really great airplanes and I take flying and safety EXTREMELY seriously. That said, I like to have fun and I think there is a lot of fun to be had in flying. Thanks.
Absolutely brilliant.
Just Plane Silly it is funny in a way how about a disclaimer
I could see you fighting at multiple points to not say what you actually look for in a pre-flight... Can totally tell it's second nature for you to do it right instead of tongue-in-cheek 😂
"I'd tap that"... lol.. And the line- "I've determined my flight YESTERDAY was safe"... You're making me look like a looney when I burst out laughing for no reason in my office..
I was a big believer in feeling the propeller as it turned in order to feel for variations in the balance. I am currently a big believer in hands free operations.
As for Cloud Residue (good catch), be careful not to inhale it as it fogs the mind.
"Big tubes and little tubes," best piece of advice to date.
Cloud or Cloud residue #brilliant
gotta get the clouds off. I'm VFR and don't want to get caught busting clearances
I use the pee jar to make sure that there's not too much fuel in the water tanks. You probably need about 50/50 or so.
Kinda obvious, as a light sport guy myself, that you snooty guys can't even tell when the end of one of your wings was replaced with a Cessna wing- which is why it doesn't fit.
That's brilliant Brian. Tap the bottom of the wing to check for water was the funniest!! Love it..
"If it taps back you have a weirder problem." My stomach hurts from laughing at that.
Yep, that pretty much sums up Cirrus Pilots! You should copy the walk around a 747 pilot does, "2 wings - CK, 4 Engines - Ck Tail Thingy - CK, enough wheels - Ck O.K lets go flying!!
You had me laughing through the entire video, especially when you finished the last half of the pre-flight AFTER you made your trip 😂 Hilarious video man, I'll be sure to see if those hoses are there next time I fly 😂
*rubbing the tail* "It's good to look like you're doing something, but really, I mean, you've got a parachute" 🤣
1:14 killed me, you're a funny dude...
I laughed pretty hard when you went to talk about the static port lol. A great, satire, video!
One thing that you should really emphasize is having an appropriate vape juice reserve. I had a very unfortune occurrence where I had to perform a power on no CH00T landong due to magenta line being inop and making my way into vmc. Now, of course I attempted to vape my way out of the situation, but before ifr could be recovered I was out of juice and had to go through my emergency procedures. Now, being a Mesa Airlines veteran, and learning under $wag Martin himself I was confident in my abilities. However, you standard pilot probably could not have handled the situation due to the no CH00T requirement in the class M airspace I was in. Let this be a lesson to all. Keep an appropriate vape reserve at all times, and avoid class M if at all possible, the no CH00T requirement is awful, and should be taken out of the AME. #vapesaveslives
I spent 3 hours over the weekend looking for and removing all that nasty cloud residue that had built up. Thanks for the tip... lol 😂 😜😉
You had me at bird strike and cloud residue!! Lol
Thank you. And thank you for watching.
5:57 if it taps back you may have bigger problems. Died laughing!
As a certified lawnmower mechanic used to spinning gizmos, I can tell you that it only takes 3 screws on that spinner thingy to hold the propeller on. 2 if you absolutely have to get away from your girlfriends daddy. The other thing is that it's ok to fly with cloud residue on 1 wing but not both. It's not good to have both wings heavier than your mother inlaw. 1 yes, both no. Too slow to get away from daddy and his shotgun. lol. Have a great day!
That was a lot funnier than I thought it would be. Nice job.
quinnjim thank you
As a Cirrus driver and owner... HILARIOUS!!!!! Thanks for the laughs!!!!! And yeah, definitely a broken rudder on that other plane. Awesome job, Brian!!!
Perfect guide!! I'll follow these steps for my CPL checkride!
Another thing you can do is leave your coffee on that little tail wing thing if it's too hot to drink right away. It should still be there when you land and cooled off from the air.
Even better the second time around! Because asymmetric flaps…. LMAO. You are the best Bryan, thanks for all the laughs!!!
This pops up on my feed. Thumbnail of you chugging a flask. This is gonna be good 🤣
Perfect timing! I got to the airport and was going to preflight but I had a few beers so a forgot what I was supposed to point at and tap on so naturally I went to RUclips to figure out what to do. Oh course wow my favorite CFI had a video. I now use this as my preflight checklist. After the preflight I got thirsty, because it was Thursday, but then I don’t remember what happened. The plane is back in the hangar so I assume the flight went well. I must have found the other videos on how to fly. Thanks again!
Now teaching students to make sure there is no cloud residue. Thank you for the solid advise. Good Stuff and funny to boot.
at 3:45 - that's not the OIL hole, its for the 710 fluid - it says so on the cap! You're pointing right at it... 710.
You're an incredible smartass. I loved it....hilarious. No water in the fuel and yes, this plane was safe to fly yesterday. Tube check.
You win Bryan .... Hands down. Freaking hilarious! I wish I had known about the propellor check before I did mine though because it's hard to type with this pencil in my mouth ....
I want to buy you a beer .... Or 10. Which obviously we'd drink before we fly right?
HAHAHA!!!!
The rule is 8 bottles and the throttle
@@Jeffrey-Flys , don’t set the bottle on the throttle is the actual rule.
when you checked for the presence of the tubes, you missed the "710" definitely on the checklist.
I'm disheartened that you would fail to mention important steps. For example, there was no mention of needing to insure the tires were on the BOTTOM of the plane.
just earned yourself a subscriber.
Hahahah me teaching my very first student a preflight walk around. This is the kind of humor I need. Dude you're awesome. @Just Plane Silly
Best walkaround ever.
Thanks mate your videos are awesome I want to go and get my ticket to fly thanks for your Inspiration
And, the funniest thing is that you felt the need to label this as a satire. Well, second funniest. Funniest is that someone won't read the whole title and take it seriously.
The FSDO gets fewer calls and e-mails that way…
Thank you for this instruction. I recently bought a nice SR22 and do need some help with this "preflight thingy", I hadn't previously thought about doing that but if you do it, it must be important. I haven't really gotten into that yet, everything seems to be working OK, I can get to 3500 feet in 2 min and it lands very nicely, just haven't yet figured out why it almost runs off the left side of the runway during takeoff, I just start at the very right edge with the Cirrus kind of pointed to the right and it takes off just before going into the grass on the left. Must be a low air pressure in one of the tires or something. But the thing I need your advice about is some stuff I found a couple days ago in my SR22. There is this red dangly piece of cloth hanging from the ceiling, don't know what it's for but the ignition key is attached to it. Seems like a good place to hide the key, don't think any crook would think of looking there for the key. The other day when I was going to start up, as I reached for the key, it fell out and went down someplace around the center console. As I was searching for it I noticed that the lid for the center console has a hammer fitted into a bracket that was obviously made to hold the hammer. Do you have any idea what this hammer is there for? It's not like I am a carpenter or even a do it yourself carpenter. I thought about looking in the book the guy gave me when I bought the aircraft, but don't remember where I put it, He said it was a sort of owner's manual. Who reads those things anyway?
LOL, "you got a parachute" so no real pre-flight check needed.
Damn straight!!!
One of the funniest videos I have ever seen. Thank you.
On a serious note, yes - really. I noted that when you opened the little door to "check the tubes" that you allowed the latches to snap with full force to the open position. Doing this has been blamed on cracking the structure of that door. I always put a finger on the latch to prevent it from snapping open, then let it up gently after pushing the release button. Love the videos, keep them coming.
Thank you. I had no idea. I will pay closer attention to how I handle that. Thanks!
On a cirrus note*
Who cares, you got a parachute LOL
These videos are so amazing. . . Going to have to remember to add the water bottle positioning to my checklist. Lol.
3:10 I always thought that was so the cops couldn't see your VIN on the dash so they can't write you a parking ticket for parking your plane in the fire lane!
Cloud residue can be very dangerous. If allowed to build up it can make your plane hard to find in the hanger and you may take the wrong plane. Finding that you are in a helicopter at 5000 feet without the appropriate rating can lead to an tricky phone call from the FAA....
You kill me every time! It seems like pilots legit do that. I’ve had pilots comeback right after they leave because they leave their oil filler caps off. It happened on a 210 and Citation 501.
Oh man! Icing isn't enough! Now I gotta worry about cloud residue!
Number one killer of pilots after CFIT, loss of control, medical emergency, inflight fire, fuel starvation, intoxicated pilot, mechanical failure, suicide, and explosive decompression.
... but you didn't mention anything about keeping the doormat clean. I do love the way the Cirrus has a doormat on the wing so you can wipe your feet before getting in.
Sir, that wasn't the oil fill cap. It is the 710 fluid reservoir. They seem like they would be the same, but pretty sure it's the fluid that keeps the blinky lights working properly. Very important stuff.
This was hilarious haha. You just commented on my video so here I am! I was cracking up the whole time man! good stuff.
"Discount wing repair shop".
"You wanna open up this and make sure this is full of tubes." I fucking died lol
My stomach now actually hurts a bit. Thanks! :)
Thank you
That bottle is a spare baby bottle. Many people forget to preflight kids so the plane just comes with one now.
Hilarious. I like that you fly the G1 model with the steam gauges!!
Very informative, thanks for the insight. I always appreciate it when pros, like you, share their experience.
One small question, though, doesn't pre-flighting a Cirrus also require to pull the red handle? Or did Cirrus get away with it, as they figured that this is not necessary, because the chutes have proven to be so so extremely reliable? ;-)
+transsib I don't know what Cirrus recommends per se but I would pull the red handle for any of the following scenarios:
Bounced landing
Bee in the cockpit
Spilled my coffee
Spilled my beer
Sirrus / XM radio failure
Busted altitude on a checkride.
I am sure there are other reasons but those are the main ones.
+Bryan Turner I asked my PPL DPE if hitting the Blue Button is an acceptable unusual attitude recovery technique in a Cirrus. He didn't laugh, or even really answer me. I just held that blue button in for the entire check ride.
Actually that cap under the flap with the tubes is the 710 cap. Not sure why it's called that but a mechanic I completely trust my car to said that's important to know. I just thought I would pass on that information to you. 😎 Thanks so much for these very informative videos.
Your Teaching RUclips recliner Pilots all our secret Top Gun procedures! LMAO
Honestly you know when you put the oil in you got to fill it all the way up to the top then put the lid back on the oil filler engine works awesome that way
Funniest God da thing I have seen in years. I shared it on my Facebook. All my pilot buddies shit their pants laughing. Please post more !!
I have 2 others right now if you just search for Cirrus satire you should see them. And there will be a lot more coming in the future
I'm sorry, I'm confused. If you flew the plane yesterday, the plane is pretty much junk now, right? My understanding is that Cirruses (Cirrus'? Cirrusii? Cirri?) are one-and-dones. Kind of like a sheet of TP. A very expensive sheet of TP. Surely you didn't actually LAND it? How old school.
It is a common misconception. For most "real" cirrus pilots, that's true but here you can see I managed to get one down safely and re-use it: ruclips.net/video/T_T_nINO0e4/видео.html
The Cirrus flys so fast, I guess that's why the bird residue is on the horizontal stabilizer. he didn't have time before hitting the leading edge of the wing.
You had me laughing so hard I cried. Omg !!
Oh yeah, I need to get a copy of the checklist tossed up on the glare shield so others can read it.... thanks for the reminder! LOL!
I love how he only finishes half of his sentences
Nice to meet you today!
hey it was good to meet you. I just wrapped up flying and I'm back at the Denton airport and your iPad is glowing nicely in the cabin. I thought maybe you left the master on but it was just the iPad. I thought briefly about turning it off but thought it better not to touch someone elses plane.
brilliant! HAPPY FLYING
0:25 - parachute... ?? how did you know 5 years ago about trevor jacob. . ???
Really this should be titled "What to do before your check ride with your examiner."
This video made our official training program (in a good way)!
I must know more! What training program?
And thanks for watching!
@@JustPlaneSilly I probably shouldn't say. Big operation, though.
OMG I was in tears!
That guy is good to go flying! LOLOLOL
I feel like my instructor will question me a lot about where I got my uncommon aviation knowledge once I start my PPL.
That was brilliant. I was dying laughing. Are you a comedian?
Hahaha, very well done, love it :) (especially the unfinished sentences "this is the " :)
Also your pee jar is too small, this will never hold enough. Get a bigger one.
And that broken wing, you should likely go fix that, doesn't look good.
Now I got to make sure that my plane is full of tubes next time I fly it, I learned something today.
I only pee in the jar just enough to determine if there is water in my urine.
Haha, good to know, but does the urine go on top or the bottom?
It kinda goes everywhere. This is not the best system. and God help ya if you are female.
You patted and tapped that aircraft quite sufficiently. I won't fly any airplane unless I've pointed or tapped at all the thingies, like, enough times, y'know?
You forgot to ground test the parachute!
Great videos, encore!
All the years I have been flying I did not check for clouds or cloud residue. Stupid mistake! ;-)
Laughed my ass off
Dude fuckin hilarious!! Just found your vids. Im not a pilot but watch a few guys vids on here. Have to say would rather fly with you too my next DEAD and Company show! Have a feeling you would be into it. Just saying could we see a video in how the chute would work? Love to see you re pack it!! Lol.
Dang, I feel like a professional now
You called it oil. But, the true nomenclature is, 710 cap.
what do you think of the vision jet?
They wouldn't let me sit in it at Oshkosh last year LOL. True story. To their credit, I was dressed like a frat boy and there were lots of dudes in suits that cost more than my house. My real opinion is I hope the chute saves some lives if there happen to be some incidents but from just a flying perspective, you can get more bang for your buck with other options. I get that people who can afford this plane are not worried about getting more bang for their buck though. High rollers want what they want and I can't blame them. You can get more people in a faster plane that is less expensive to operate. But not with a V-tail so there's that. I would love to go for a ride in one. I haven't seen one in person except for the demos at Osh. I hope to cross paths w/ one soon. I want to see it in action.
Having one engine would probably be more efficient on shorter flights especially where its top speed and altitude wouldn't be reached anyway. When i'm rich enough i want a vision jet, then a hondajet/embraer phenom 100, and then a bbj 787 dreamliner! oh well i can dream
going to need a larger red carpet and full size waters...
This is absolutely hysterical. If I was of legal age, I'd buy you a beer.
Give me a holler when you are 21. You fly near my favorite brewery!
And what would that be? Also - that's another 4.5 years.
Sam Adams!
I preflighted my Buick using your method and its fine, but I also have a Tahoe - does it translate the same way?
I'd like to point out a mistake in your otherwise very informative video. The "oil" cap you point out is in fact a 710 cap, a completely different thing that
ive always wondered how cirrus pilots log chute pulls. do you keep another column in logbook?
Probably the only thing you need to preflight is the parachute.😂
the static port... I lost it
Look at all those bugs on the leading edge of the wings!!! You need to clean those off!!
Lmafo so we finishing the preflight after the flight now 🤔🤯
the sad truth is I bet someone thought this was real.
who else came because they said cirrus and the thumbnail was a high wing with a yoke?
Definitely a typical Cirrus pilot...kind of like Prius owners.
you forgot to check the rubber ban
That was not the oil. Pay attention that was the 710 cap. Very important you know the difference. Made that mistake once and it cost me my life, er my wife I mean.
Not bad, in TV and movies all pilots do is jump in and go.
Check for tubes-- 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Cloud residue" 🤣
Austin Maness that will ruin your whole doggone day
Yeh yeh, but how do you know the chute is in there? Eh? Eh? Eh?
It’s funny but I don’t think safety should be taken lightly.
