GLUE MAN

I love your title!Are you the Cirrus

‘Deepthroat’(thats from Watergate fame

not porn fame)from the ‘inside’?

While your at it could you please transpose

the numbers on that prodution card from

#150-20 to #259-20 ? Im sure no one would be
the wiser and there’s a ‘C’ Note in it for
you.I think Bribery is in order.I cant go
another summer.

Welcome aboard ‘Glue Man’.Dont do anything

that will get you in trouble though.

recent production info…

planes expected to be delivered this year…270

169 sr22, and 101 sr20

23 aircraft per month by mid year…and 33 per month by year end…

when monthly production climbs to 33…mix will be 19 sr22…and 14 sr20

FinanciaL picture strong

very large cash infusion and debt reduction very near…breakeven will happen later this year…

WOW a Thanksgiving bird that won’t fit in the oven. I can’t wait. SR22 127

I don’t think that this info is legitimate. Perhaps, Cirrus officials talked about this scenario and, probably, a few dozen others. One of these rumors – this one – just happened to circulate and found its way onto this site. I don’t think it is likely that Cirrus would turn the production around like this – emphasizing production of a later model with fewer buyers when they have hundreds and hundreds of original SR20 buyers who have waited a very long time for the original aircraft. What happened to the economic principle of “economies of scale?” This would be real bad public relations and look like they were only out to push a more profitable model (which may turn out to be the case). A better production mix would be closer to 50/50 for the short term to help satisfy SR22 folks who converted, which would also help to satisfy long time SR20 folks and reduce some of the backlog. Once the SR22 conversions have been satisfied, establish the production mix based on the sales ratio between the two aircraft. Otherwise, I think Cirrus will see many of the SR20 buyers, especially the higher numbers, drop like flies because no reasonable delivery date exists. Some may switch to SR22’s, but most won’t.

I read your reply.I work there.I have sympathy for the owners that want numbers. I read half of your post and didn’t read the rest.If you want more info dont flame me.I am here to do you a favor.I can get into big trouble for this.What I posted is what we had that night.We are busting ass for you.I am putting together something more specific becuase I think it is riht as the managment wont help out much.I am just a normal guy who cares.What I post are nor never will be rumors. the glue man.Cirrus has us sign documents saying no talk whatsoever about the plane or serious court action so call it what you will. believe it or not.As long as I don’t go out of my bounds no court will prosecute me. So I feel safe.I signed in duress.lol

In defense of “glue man”, I heard much the same from my Cirrus rep., though not as specific as far as numbers. Within the next couple of weeks, maybe this one, we should hear something.

Hi Jeff,

Not so nice to see you back under a new name! I recognize your inability to leave a space between the period and the first word in the sentence. Our readers will recognize your style. We know to ignore your posts.

Gary,

Before you go ripping him a new asshole, his current SR22 numbers match what I heard from a friend who actually saw serial # plates mounted to planes.

Thanks Paul

this probably should not have been posted as it comes from investor material from 1 week ago however it is timely and important info…

The cash infusion should last through the year…

the drive is to be profitable…that is why the mix will be 19 sr22/14 sr20 per month at peak rate…

last bit to add…

things being worked on are as follows:

air traffic advisory

air conditioning

de-ice

engine monitoring

electronic engine control

air ground communications

ground proximity

weather data link

electronic primary flight display

in flight entertainment systems

More news coming.I will keep getting you numbers.I am on your side.You would be very surprised how well production is gowing.

Not that it matters, but here is my take on how I’d like to see the priorities set.

  • engine monitoring

  • weather data link

  • electronic engine control

  • de-ice (While important, I don’t plan on flying in ice)

  • ground proximity

  • in flight entertainment systems

  • air conditioning

  • electronic primary flight display - I’m assuming this is glass cockpit, as opposed to removal of vacuum systems. I’d move this before de-ice if it is removal of vacuum systems.

I didn’t include these because I don’t know what they are. Text displays for the Arnav?? If so, I’d put them after EEC.

  • air traffic advisory - What’s this?

  • air ground communications - What’s this?

This would be an interesting poll and would give CD some indication as to the options we would purchase. I would rank them as:

engine monitoring

electronic engine control

de-ice

weather data link

ground proximity

electronic primary flight display

in flight entertainment systems
air conditioning

In the northeast you can’t fly through a cloud in the winter without flying into known icing. Most of the time you don’t have ice, and if you did you could turn around and get out, but with knowning icing capability you can’t legally try. Known icing capability would be my number one.

I have be flying my FS2000 with random instrument failures. Loss of the AI is a non event. The loss of the DG is a big pain but not an emergency. However the loss of the altimeter seems to be a serious problem, so my number 2 is altitude preselect because it gives funactionality while providing a backup for the altimeter.

I would spring for TCAS, but any options after that are of no interest to me.

However the loss of the altimeter seems to be a serious problem

The altitude readout from the Garmin (also displayed on the Arnav) is a reasonable backup - not good enough for a non-precision approach but definitely good enough for en-route.

Also, how often do altimeters fail? They have no power source or gyros - there is not a lot to go wrong.

Art,

pre-select is not necessary.

Your GTX327 will have a display mode for pressure altitude.

You must manually dial in the barometer setting into the altitude preselect (sigh, no air-data-computer… drat. :-)).
