I saw an ad for All-In-Aviation offering dual instruction and experience flights in a Cirrus Jet. May take them up on it, since we have a second home in Las Vegas.

Any other outfits offering dual instruction in a Cirrus Jet?

There’s one at PDK as well.

Forte Wayne Indiana has one

PDK is at Aero Atlanta.

A few hours of The Vision Jet experience from Aero Atlanta sounds like a nice birthday present. They even have a brochure that I can print and leave on SWMBO's dashboard, desk, bedside table, taped to the outside of the shower, ad nauseum.

Does anyone know if the time is loggable as a Part 91 flight?

...wonder if I can drag my best half and the minions on the flight.

So, went to my weekend place in Las Vegas and setup a session this morning with All-In-Aviation's Paul Sallach to fly the Cirrus Jet.

I did 1.2 hours in the left seat, taking off from Henderson, over Hoover Dam and Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon, with a landing on 35R back at Henderson. We stayed low, mostly under 5000', then up to 8000 for a little bit.

Impressions:

1. I really like the airplane. It is super easy to get in and out of the cockpit, very roomy, comfortable.

2. My wife sat in back and took lots of photos. Enjoyed the roomy cabin with plenty of room.

3. Great visibility for cockpit and passengers.

4. Great power and climb, 200kts arrives quickly.

5. Taxiing takes a little getting used to, all differential braking. Though that's true of my Columbia and the SR22, the V-tail lacks any prop wash on the ground, so no rudder influence at all.

6. Turbulence down low was kind of jarring.

7. Visual cues very different than what I'm used to.

8. The Garmin flight deck with 3 touchpads and two screens left me often looking for things, despite owning a G1000 myself. I'd also like to have the A/P control up high on the glareshield, like bigger planes tend to.

9. FADEC, push button start/stop, not a lot to think about other than how much power you want. The Williams responds quickly.


All in all, really liked the plane. I liked it better than PA46 and the easy of cockpit entry and comfort once in, hand's-down a lot better in the Cirrus jet.

How much?

If you have to ask...

A lot less than buying one!!!

Although I would buy one if I could.
