Cross Country Flight NY to FL in a Cirrus SR22 G6 - Fly Your Own Private Plane
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 04. 2021
- I took my family on a cross country flight from New York (KFRG) to Florida (KMLB) to visit friends and family. For the first leg, we stopped at Myrtle Beach (KMYR) to have lunch and to fuel up. During our second leg, we dodged a few thunderstorm clouds and we got permission to do a low pass over NASA's Space Shuttle Landing Facility (KTTS) before landing at Melbourne International Airport. With its creature comfort like Autopilot and Air Conditioning, the Cirrus SR22 GTS flew beautifully and made the 6.5 hours trip easy peasy.
Since I'm still a relatively low time pilot and I have my family aboard, I asked my CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) Nick to come long. It was a great decision and good learning experience.
So please hop aboard and join my family on this epic trip.

Beautiful aircraft and family. Great video - you do a great job editing. You get everything inside of 10-11 minutes. Perfect. Keep up the good work.
Thanks pal! Appreciate the kind words!
Man, that is a nice travel day.
we’ve been pretty lucky.
Enjoyed the flight, thanks for taking me along, beautiful family. Keep the videos coming..
Thank you my friend! Appreciate the kind words.
Wow, I was considering getting the Cirrus G6 and after watching your videos you definitely confirmed that this is the plane that fits my mission objective! Thank you for the great videos!
Thanks Anton! It’s not a perfect plane but definitely checks most of boxes for my mission. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Email is my channel name at gmail.
Man that is a beautiful Cirrus! Would love to fly in one of those one day! Great Video!!! I enjoyed this!
Thanks pal! Your kind words really means a lot!
Cool, love FRG! I hope nick is coming to Endeavor air! 😁
Love the aircraft/lifestyle!
It was always an enjoyable experience in life.
Thanks pal! Appreciate the kind words.
Nice video brother! Love the 360 camera up front. Cheers!
Thanks brother! Hit me up whenever you come to the NY area.
Great family trip! Fly over was wicked! Lovely, family. Safe travels!
Thanks pal!
Might be an older video but got a sub from me! Love the SR22. Hope to be in one, one day.
Thanks for the sub!
That was Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks Skip!
Magic view and amazing video as always..!..🎉✈️🤙🏽
Thanks pal! 🤙
That was awesome. 🙏💪💪💪😊
Thank you 🙌
Looks like a great time. Cirrus looks like a great family plane
Thanks pal! Cirrus SR22 is amazing. Probably the best Single Piston in the market.
Great video !
Thank you for sharing.
I was at HPN Friday and yesterday at the air expo !
How was the event? I RSVP’ed but couldn’t get away.
loved it...very inspiring...keep going on trips...FULLJOY!
Thanks Kenny!
Sir! thank you for sharing. Awesome plane.
Thanks Emmett.
Very Nice! Cool family and cool flight ! Welcome from France on a SR20 ! ;)
Thank you my friend!
Sweet video! I particularly liked the flyover of Kennedy Space Center!
Thanks pal! Who would’ve thought that’s possible!
Looked like a great family outing. Taking everyone along on your Cirrus must be fantastic. The fly-by over KTTS was a cool bonus! Safe Flying!
Good times for sure. Cannot believe how easy it was to over fly KTTS.
@@SlowAsianDriver probably helped to be there on a day when there was no activity at the Cape. Kind of like the folks who got to take their GA plane into JFK, LGA and EWR in one day, last year. Might not get that chance again! Lol
The KTTS flyby was a nice touch!
Thanks! 🤙✌️
I'm a fan of your video editing! Happy flying! #cirruslifestyle
Thanks pal!
"Revved up like a deuce in the middle of the night"
Amen brother!
I flew my Robinson R66 at night at low level & landed on that shuttle runway. Stayed just enough to get pics of us in front of the helo then took off again & flew back to home base. That was several years ago now. Maybe again one day (night) soon 🙂.
So cool!
Nice one Austin!! Living that Cirrus life! Cheers-Ren
Thanks Steve! Btw I’m John…Austin is the smart one…I know we all look alike. 🤣
@@SlowAsianDriver Ouch. My bad!!!
Thanks for sharing, you have a beautiful family sir. I will definitely fly my kids to Legoland after obtaining my private pilot license.
Thanks so much pal!
@@SlowAsianDriver you are welcome sir!
Awesome job.
Thanks pal!
Great video!
Thanks Mike!
You inspire me. Hopefully soon
You can do it pal!
Great video, hold on I know you, aren’t you that Noble sim guy hahaha
Lol…that would be my airplane Austin. He’s the one wearing glasses in Flying videos #1 and #2. I know we Asians all look alike. Haha.
Wow so cool. I do my flight training out of KFRG. I'm sure we've crossed flight paths at some point
I’m out of Atlantic. See you around pal!
I just found your channel. Great video.
Thanks pal!
Great video
Thanks pal!
Awesome video, even though this Corsa Red is a popular color among Cirrus owners (and my personal favorite) is very difficult to find videos on CZcams of SR22s with it, keep the videos coming!
Thank Luis! When my airplane partner and I were spec’ing out the plane, we wanted to make a bold but tasteful statement. Once we saw a Rosso Corsa plane in person, it was game over…we knew we found the winner.
@@SlowAsianDriver Amazing, I agree 100%, this red is the color to make an statement.
Love
Thx pal!
New sub. Thanks for uploading your video. I had my VariEze at FRG in the 90’s. Now living in Vero Beach and almost finishing my BD 4C at KFPR. If you ever come to FPR lunch on me for your whole family and free tour of my hangar lol.
Thanks Frank! Do you know if Piper gives factory tours at their facility in Vero?
I had fun. Thanks for the video. Would be great to have the complete routing in order to fly it in my sim. :-)

Leg 2: KMYR CHS SAV VIYAP CRG KMLB
@@SlowAsianDriver Thanks Austin.
I’m John…lol. Austin is my partner.
Close to my neck of the woods. KPMP. Well...Melbourne is close by in an airplane. Driving is another story. See you in the sky sometime.
Thanks Laurie! See u around 😊
Gr8 video ... shuttle low approach is something everyone should do :-)
Thanks pal! I couldn’t believe how easy it was to do this.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Republic is about 45 minutes from me. I am thinking of doing my PPL there on the Cirrus sr20. Wondering if I would be better off at a closer airport although they use 172 trainers.
Cirrus SR20 is a great plane to train in…but it’s expensive. If you have the resources and you know you’ll be buying or flying a Cirrus down the road, then go for it. If budget is tight, just know that an hour in a C172 counts the same as an hour in a SR20. 😉. The best bang for the buck is to rent a G1000 C172…hone in your skills and do your Instrument in a SR20. Can’t go wrong either way. Hope that makes sense.
@@SlowAsianDriver great thanks!
Great Video!! Maybe you could do one in the future discussing the price and future maintenance costs.
Thats a great idea! Though if I get depressed at how much I’m throwing away I’m blaming you. 😂
Nice video Slow Asian, beautiful family. I live 15min from FRG…question…Could the SR22 make it all the way to MLB without a fuel stop and if so how long would flight time be? Need to see some new vids Asian…keep it up! God Bless.
Regular 22 will make MLB in the right condition…however, you run into legality with fuel reserve. A typical trip is between 5.5 to 6.5 hour in flight time. We typically stop in KCPC or KMYR for lunch. Feel free to ask any questions and thanks for the kind words! ✌️
Great video. Is he a CFI at LIA? I think I remember doing an instrument lesson with him once.
Yes. Nick is a LIA instructor.
there’s me holding short!
We’re you in one oh LIA’s C172s?
@@SlowAsianDriver N798LA, 152, ive seen your cirrus on the field a bunch, might have a video of your takeoff somewhere!
Awesome. If the weather permits I’ll be at the T hangar (across from LIA) cleaning 8FU in the AM. Stopped by and say hello.
Fun flight. Good you're able to take your CFI with you, as this looks like a complex aircraft.
FRG... I did my PPL down the street at Bayport Aerodrome (23N) - did you do any landings there?
Hi Paul, no I haven’t landed at Bayport but have been there a bunch of times for the vintage air shows. The Cirrus is incredibly easy to fly and nimble :).
@@SlowAsianDriver First CZcamsr I've known that's been to Bayport. Not sure if it's still there, but I flew the Yellow/Burgundy Cessna 152 (N216DV). You reminded me by saying vintage shows - scored .6 hours in the PT-17 (N1902M), which was a blast.
Continued success with your Cirrus.
Yep 23N is still kicking. Though there’s been talks of closing it down.
@@SlowAsianDriver Sadly, I just heard that Frank passed away about a week ago. He was the owner of D'Angelone Aviation, and the local DPE for years. Now I'm out here in Central Coast, CA. A while back, I did my BFR at Torrance (TOA) and flew up and down the coast. The Special Flight Rules Area over LAX is surprisingly easy to do. When I get back into flying, I'll post some CZcams videos and send a link.
Have you done the Hudson tour of Manhattan? Wish I had done that. Paul
I had the pleasure of meeting Frank a few years ago and he’s truly a gentleman. His presence will be missed by many. Yes I’ve done the NYC skyline route many times truly spectacular. Please do post up some vids would love to see them. Have a nice weekend pal!
Pardon the question, but what were you doing there in the beginning when you sent the flight plan from your iPad to the plane? Was that ForeFlight to Garmin?
Correct. We file the flight plan then we get the expect route through ForeFlight. Instead of entering it manually into the G1000 we can simply push it to the G1000 through Bluetooth from the iPad.
@@SlowAsianDriver thank you. I really enjoy your enthusiasm in your videos. As I am just begging my PPL/Instrument quest (on lesson 4 and started ground), it’s all very daunting. I keep thinking there’s no way I will ever get this. But your videos are inspiring. Thank you.
You got this pal! It’s a lot at the beginning but in no time you’ll be a pro! 🤙
@@SlowAsianDriver thank you for the encouragement. Watching your videos helps so much!
How long did it take you to fly from NY to Myrtle Beach? Then Myrtle Beach to FL?
Just under 4 to Myrtle and under 3 to Melbourne FL. Had a nasty 27 knots head wind. Video has time stamps at various stops.
how did you get the shots outside the airplane as you were taxiing out?
very simple: you leave the camera running then you forget to take it with you. It was an intended result. Lol. I had to call the FBO to ask them retrieve it for me. 🤦🏻♂️
Love the video. Are you based out of king, because you might know my uncle that flies a piper archer, his tail is n2540q
Yes I’m based out of KFRG. I will keep an eye out for N2540Q for sure.
@@SlowAsianDriver if you are free there is a big fly-in this coming Saturday at the orange county Airport. Food, drinks and entertainment are free. I'd love to see your cirrus up close
nice video
Thanks pal!
@@SlowAsianDriver I take it your very satisfied with your airplane. Congratulations.
It’s not perfect: lost a mag with only 60 hrs…some panel gaps that the factory will fix. Otherwise it’s been great. R u in the market for one?
@@SlowAsianDriver I am thinking about it. Just curious how your experience has been.
Be happy to help. Any questions you can reach me on Instagram under the same name.
Sorry for the delay I just called Piper today 6/21/21 they told me the Piper factory tours still closed but the shop is open go figure
Cirrus is doing the same as well. Ugh.
what apps do you use to fly?
I use ForeFlight for planning, CloudAhoy to rate and improve my maneuvers. I use to use Garmin Pilot, but I find Foreflight easier and more stable.
Not a pilot, but If my numbers are right the SR22 can take off and land 5 times on the space shuttle runway before you run out of distance
Lol. Yep, I can do 3 touch n go’s and be current.
Great video question: how we're you able to buy your own aircraft?
Work hard but smart, don’t waste time on negative people, surround yourself with people who are smart and kind. I also have an airplane partner so we share the cost. Hope that helps.
@@SlowAsianDriver thanks I got the same lecture from my dad when I said a joke but what I mean is where did you buy the aircraft did you go to some store or something?
The beauty of buying an airplane is the sale rep comes comes to you and show you all the paint, fabric etc.
N Y to Florida is considered cross country?????? What is N Y to California called...........A HOP?
NY to California is called a long a$$ cross-country...lol. Anything over 50 nautical miles is categorized as "cross country" flight in aviation.
