We loaded up into a brand new Vision Jet and the first thing I noticed was the layout of the cockpit. I’d be flying the demo flight with Justin who’s part of Cirrus Aircraft’s jet demo team – he’s based out of Denver and is an extremely skilled pilot as well as an absolutely phenomenal guy. On the ramp there were three Cirrus Vision Jets, all different paint schemes with different interiors to give a sense of choices available.

Let’s get going with the flight! I arrived at the Orlando Executive Airport in the morning and was greeted by a group of welcoming Cirrus Aircraft team members, many of whom are also long time friends. They’ve simply made the systems very intuitive in big part to automation and presentation of systems which they worked with Garmin International to accomplish.

I’ve flown my SR22 thousands of hours throughout the United States and beyond so am very comfortable with my piloting skills, though in all honesty, I believe that a pilot with far fewer hours would have no problem transitioning to this new jet. I’ll walk through the demo flight and experience sharing my thoughts along the way, as well as comparing it to my current Cirrus SR22 Turbo Aircraft. If I had to describe the Vision Jet in one word it would undoubtedly be… AMAZING! Everything from the airframe design, performance and ease of flying to the stellar interior and Garmin avionics suite, the Vision Jet is an absolutely perfect airplane! I hold delivery position #75 and couldn’t be more thrilled with taking delivery of my very own Vision Jet in the near future! I recently had the opportunity to take a demo flight in the new Cirrus Vision Jet! The Vision Jet (aka Cirrus SF50) is the world’s first truly personal jet aircraft and comes equipped with the whole airplane Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) for enhanced safety.
