Nice airplane, but the video made me laugh. Who are they marketing to? With all the talk of color schemes and "How the airplane makes you feel", it has to be women, amirite?

Also, my Foreflight gives me many of those same alerts. Just sayin'...

They are marketing to people who buy airplanes apparently. Last time I checked they are selling more GA planes than everyone else combined.

Over 350 SRs sold last year.

That sure seems like a solution in search of a problem.

Geez, if I only knew my battery voltage I'd be ready to fly as soon as I got to the airport. Give me a break.

"you get to the FBO, you look out at the airplane, you're confident it is ready"
Seems like a stupid thing to say to someone.

That is a great video. Cirrus really has their act together marketing wise.

Eric,
I think you’re underestimating the allure of connectedness. From your smart phone, you can see who is ringing your doorbell (and talk to them), you can view all your security cameras around your house, you can see what’s in your refrigerator, you can adjust your home’s thermostat, you can start your car, you can track your teenager, etc. There’s an app for that.

That million-dollar airplane buyers would want to feel connected to their plane seems quite 21st Century to me.

I’d love to know if my plane has been fueled or not without having to call the FBO and hope they’re telling the truth.

Still no beacon. Probably doesn't matter anyway, every single light would be turned on from the time the master is switched on till its switched off.

I find the avionics upgrades, new interiors and exterior colors more exciting than the app. With that said there is a use for the app with multiple owners.....

I have 3 other partners on our Cirrus. I've experienced showing up at the airport to fly and found out the plane got in late the last time it was flown, wasn't able to get gas and now I need to do it before my flight. A quick look at the app would have alerted me the plane needs gas. A quick text to the last pilot to put gas in it would save me 1/2 hour of shuffling planes away from the fuel farm and filling and paying and getting reimbursed.

Hours flown are nice too for scheduled maintenance. Not, let's buy a new plane nice. It wouldn't surprise me to see Cirrus continue to improve the app, find new uses and access to more information.

I always fuel my airplane myself and write down the fuel remaining and battery voltage and Hobbs after every flight. This last time, though, I forgot to turn off my Stratus so its battery is dead by now. :doh:

I would like to know when the FBO fuels the plane. Many times I show up at the airport and it isn’t field though they told me it was.

Me? Just a guy who's owned five Mooneys, three Twin Bonanzas, and won an award at OSH for a 63-year-old twin.

Guess I've lost my man card, amirite? :shrug:

Don't worry. I don't have close to the money needed, but I'd like to give one a try someday.

There is no questions... This is really incredible. They keep on improving. Taking nothing for granted. Great business model.
If they could only fix the weight.
But the overall approach is fantastic. If I had the money... Well. wait. If I had 1M to drop in a plane, I would buy something else. I don't care about the new car smell. You can get a lot of plane for 1M, and far more capable, for the same hourly cost.
But if you have some extra cash laying around, then a new G6 is what is in store for you.
