This is probably one of the most annoying jobs when preflighting a Cirrus.
There's a little disk on here that tells you if the brakes have overheated had been the
past and it's very useful don't get me wrong it's a great feature but you've
got to get under down here to... Fine on days like this but when it's raining this sucks.
Ooh, even the mats say SR22 I never noticed that last time. We're back inside
Kilo Juliet November again the Cirrus sr22. It's a beautiful gorgeous grey blanketed
in clouds kind of rubbish day which is actually a really good thing because I
wanted to do an instrument flying practice flight with my instructor Mike
who's gonna be hopping on board soon and the last thing you want on an IFR
practice flight is blue skies. You want clouds so this is good. The cloud base
here at Moorabbin is about two thousand feet today and our flight takes us from
Moorabbin to Avalon at 3,000 feet so guaranteed some instrument
meteorological conditions. But real instrument experience you can't beat it.
So these clouds today perfect we just need to get Kilo Juliet November ready
preflighted and then we'll go.
I think they put the wrong sticker on
Had a comment last time about the oil in this SR22. I mentioned that this was a
12 quarts tank and someone said that the sr22 doesn't have a 12 quarts tank. Just
for the interest of Education and information
So other Cirrus aircraft here they do have smaller oil tanks but this one and
there's a note in the pilots operating handbook does have a bigger oil tank and
as we all know despite what people say the size of your oil tank does matter.

Alright so we're coming up to 7 and we're 2000 at 7 miles, so we're about just under a 100 above.
It's really rugged look at that, that's hazy. Yeah sure is. That is really rugged.
That was around 1800 we came out in case he asks.
Six miles to run 1560. So yeah that's only about 40 feet out.
that's really good. Runway in sight so if we were landing we'd do prelanding checks.
