I noticed the demo pilot was programming the navigator while taxiing the aircraft with the aircraft moving. Cirrus needs to remind the demo pilot that the FAA stresses and tells all instructors that while the airplane is moving, ‘Heads Up and Eyes Out’ The airplane should be stopped while programming the GPS.
As for the Autoland….FANTASTIC!!!
Careful with the translation. Pedo heat is not on the MEL.
Sorry … this ain’t flying.
No, but it is landing in one piece when flying is no longer an option.
[Sorry … this ain’t crashing.]
I’m guessing you would have to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and use of the Autoland function if so equipped during a check ride. Now that’s irony…
+1 for aviation safety; I’m all for it! But, I wonder who’s ahead in the cat and mouse race: advancements that make GA apparently safer or pilots who make GA appear more dangerous?
For about a million bucks a 4-seat single is NOT what I would even think about coming home with, no matter how many automatic things it does.
I noticed that. She’s dealing with the programming in critical phases of the flight too.
She made the point that this is for experienced pilots — ATP, Commercial etc, I agree. But that won’t discourage a 500 hour TT doctor or lawyer from wanting the emergency autoland feature.
I look at the automation and the reliability – on the heels of reading the NTSB report of the C310R that had a rudder cable failure.
