IFR Scottsdale to Las Vegas' Bravo | Mountain Flying in a Cirrus SR22T G7

Описание: After a few days of sun and great weather in Scottsdale its time to head over to Las Vegas for the week for Cirrus' CX 2026 conference.

Come fly along with us as we depart IFR from Scottsdale, Arizona (KSDL) for a beautiful sunset flight through the mountains on our way to Las Vegas (KLAS).

The arrival and approach into Vegas was a piece of cake with approach vectoring us between a break in the airliners for an easy visual approach.

Some of the most frequently asked questions I get asked:

-What kind of plane?
It’s a 2024 Cirrus SR22T. It’s an Xi which is Cirrus’ custom design program, so we were able to design the paint, colors, interior and truly customize the plane to be our own!

-Where are you based?
Presently based at KPWK, Chicago Executive Airport, which is about 7 miles north of O’Hare in the north suburbs of Chicago.

-What do you do for a living?
I own multiple businesses; my main business is a digital marketing agency where we help other businesses grow through digital marketing.

-Why do you fly?
I got into flying primarily for business. I was sick of dealing with airlines, their schedules, terrible service and delays. I primarily travel for business however also travel for leisure to some pretty amazing places!

-When did you start flying?
I started flying back in 2016 in a Sundowner; however I quickly realized I very much disliked the plane and didn’t jive with my instructor. I got back into aviation in 2023 and earned my private pilot then with my instrument and commercial the year after.

-What do you think is next in your aviation journey?
Writing this as of 2026, I’m a little under 1,000 total hours nearly all of which are in a Cirrus. I think there is a good chance a Vision Jet, TBM or similar are in my future but for now I am loving my current plane.
