Cirrus just dropped a YouTube video on the 2020 G6.

Interesting. Wonder when it'll get to the point of Cirrus sending you an email telling you you busted airspace or exceeded airspeeds or engine parameters or dipped into reserve fuel (oh, and you just voided your warranty).

Groovy new Key Fob. I do like the purple, though. The 4 blade looks funky.

I really want one....bad, but, alas, there are about $900,000 reasons I won’t be getting one. :sad:

I'd like to see an "automatic BT post creation" feature following a chute pull, that immediately creates a thread, of course titled "Another Cirrus Save" and populates the post with engine, fuel and flight parameters, local weather data, and cockpit audio and video files. C'mon Cirrus. We need something to totally disrupt the standard Cirrus thread monotony. Maybe call it "BT Speculation Suppressor".

BTW, something I know won't happen, probably shouldn't happen and Cirrus has no reason to do it, but I wish they'd build an honest 6 place cabin class pressurized TNed FIKI piston with a chute priced at/under $1.3M.

Ironic.

That'd be a little light to get one. The SR-22 we had at Max's Knoxville fly in was $1M. Can't imagine a price cut!

I'd love to have one too. Cirrus is simply in a different league. :bow:

It is nice to see that they are now offering a Cirrus the same color as my 1965 Bonanza.

How much for a nothing-down, 3-year lease?

Lot of fluff, I don't know I'd want to maintain it after the first 500 hours. :bugeye:

Great video.... I'm going to go apply for a job at Cirrus. I love it.

Bob, you can now say you have a Bimini Blue Bonanza..

I do like it on both your Bo, and the Cirrus, glad to see it making a come back, only took 55 years

So it can tell me how much fuel is in the tanks, TKS fluid level, O2 quantity, battery voltage and oil temp. Other than the battery voltage, I'm having a hard time figuring out why I need an app for this. I usually note things like that when I shut down from the previous flight? And I have no idea why I care what the oil temp is before I get to the plane.

I'm guessing that like my Volvo, there's an annual fee for this feature.

And it alerts me if I get 3/4 scale deflection on an ILS??? :scratch:

So you can call the FBO to pull it out and pre-heat it for you. And top off your Fuel, TKS, O2. And then turn on all the courtesy lights so it's gleaming in all it's glory as you swoop through the FBO in semi-slow motion and breeze through the door.

Sure wish they could be like other plane manufacturers and quit making changes, options and improvements. The new ones make my 13 year old plane look old.

Can we also add the automatic X click on any Cirrus thread so I don't have to delete it on my own? The time savings each year will be awesome.
