Left downwind on a blustery day with live weather actually shows a virga burst over the field, with local winds gusting 36 knots, making for some extreme conditions in such a tight canyon. For the final approach, I calculated V REF of about 128 was fought with much shear, with airspeed variances of up to 20 to 30 knots, providing a wild ride.

Though it’s not as overtly revolutionary as the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) or Safe Return enabled by Garmin Autoland on Cirrus’ SF50 Vision Jet, the reimagined flight deck in the new SR G7 and other improvements make a more immediate impact—because pilots benefit from them on every flight, from the moment you press the start button.

Flight Design rates the F2 with the same 16-knot demonstrated crosswind component as the previous CTs. Flight Design can will the F2 with a GTN 650 in place of the 175, though Gutmann says hes also looking into using the Garmin GNX 375 GPS/transponder. Otherwise, the F2s flight deck layout is generally straightforward.

An approximate bank angle required for a standard rate turn can be obtained by dividing the True Airspeed (in knots) by 10 and then adding 7. For example, the bank angle required for an aircraft traveling at a True Airspeed of 120 knots is: 120/10 = 12 12 + 7 = 19 19 degrees Angle of Bank (AoB) required.
