    If you plan to fly a Cirrus should you train in a Cirrus?

    @Linh Tran Reading all the responses here you can tell there is no right or wrong answer. There are so many different factors to weight (most some very personal) that no-one can give you the right answer, other than your self. At the end of reading this thread you should have a pretty good idea...

    Now I know...

    I absolutely don’t mind the critique. There is no ego here. Believe me. Yes, Rod Machado’s “don’t become a passenger on landings”. (I guess others said this too but I first heard it on one of his videos). I used it in the past. Hit or miss for me. For some reason it didn’t work well. I should...

    A few minutes later……………… . Me: “Ground Warrior N2ND, at West ramp, ready to taxi with Golf and… student pilot first solo” Ground: “N2ND taxi to runway 11 via Sierra, Mike, cross runway 5” Writing down the instructions as fast as I can: “11 S M x5” Me: “11 via Sierra, Mike, cross 5, 2ND”...

    Now I know...

    The day started with me waking up after not much sleep. I knew this could be the day. Last evening my CFI was ready to let me loose. We got up there but it was a bit more gusty than he felt comfortable. I did fairly ok. No issues. “Let’s see how it looks tomorrow. You are ready” he said. It’s...

    Good points and definitely an option. How easy/difficult was to adjust to speed difference, especially on landings?

    If you plan to fly a Cirrus should you train in a Cirrus?

    Great responses from everybody and good discussion. I would like to provide an update. I had my flight in a 1976 Piper PA-28-151. A few notes: --- This was an old plane (especially when I compare it with the SR20 G6) but well maintained. Outside looked a bit scary but for some reason the...

    Is there a way to import FlightAware track logs to ForeFlight ?

    This, unfortunatelly, will only import shapes etc to show as a map layer. It will not import track log data. Looking at it a little bit more, it looks like ForeFlight can only import track logs from a G1000 exported csv files. So I guess the next step is the searching of a tool that can convert...

    Is there a way to import FlightAware track logs to ForeFlight ?

    I am starting to use ForeFlight's Logbook and one of the options is to attach a track log in the Logbook entry. This is great going forward but how can I bring in old track logs in. FlightAware has the track log of my flight. It can also export this to KML file. Is there a way to import to...

    If you plan to fly a Cirrus should you train in a Cirrus?

    Thank you! Good to know there are success stories out there Yes. During my research on the subject a lot of people suggesting to start Piper/Cessna 6-pack and then switch to glass (in my case SR20) around half way. It is an option for sure I don't have experience, so I am not sure, but my...

    Great advices from a lot of people. Thanks! I would like to provide an update on the progress. Yesterday I had my very first flight with the Cirrus (SR20). It was kind of an introductory/first lesson type of thing. My very first flight on a small airplane. Some observations: --- I enjoyed...

    If you plan to fly a Cirrus should you train in a Cirrus?

    Great advices and prospectives. Yes, this is I think the best advice I got from reading all the forums and watching all the videos. As I wrote, I already passed the written exam and I have my medical exam scheduled for next week. Then, I will make a decision on a flight school. The Cirrus...
