[...] Flying the Cirrus with Matthew, testing the Avidyne Entegra, and visiting the Cirrus final assembly site in Bembridge all on the same day was really exciting, and definitly worth the trip to London through Frankfurt and Heathrow airports. The barbecue organized after the visit was also a memorable part of the day. There were six Cirrus, and a couple of other aircrafts all flown by the members of the FreeFlight aviation, also known as the Cirrus 147 flying group. The group operates 6 Cirrus aircraft, based at four airfields in the London area. You can imagine what the discussions were about during the barbecue… [...]

Thank you, I’m glad you like the review. I had hard times to write it, and I was a bit reluctant to publish it as it is, because I don’t think it’s structured enough. On the other hand, I did not wanted to wait for too long.

Boy, you sure had a fun weekend! Interesting review. Like Wayne says, from reading your review I do actually feel like I get a sense of what it is like to be in the airplane and fly it. I have heard many good things about this plane before and this more than confirms it all. An entertaining and insightful review.

I am looking forward to hearing more about the avionics in your upcoming posts and particularly your views on the Avidyne Entegra vs the Garmin G1000.

Outstanding review. I enjoy how you focus on the usability of the airplane from the pilot’s point of view. This is a wonderful relief from the endless repetition of useless technical details which can be found in magazine reviews (”the control stick is milled from moon rock alloy and mounted to the frame with an innovative double U joint…”). This makes some magazine reviews nothing more than large glossy ads, void of anything that might offend the maker (who might have a paid ad in the same issue). Your review has enough details about your experience that someone considering the plane can get a sense of what it is actually like to sit in it and fly it. Well written.
