Im a CSIP and fly corporate in them. There are several CSIP's on this forum who all seem pretty knowledgeable. 
First advice: Dont even try to argu with the Cirrus haters. The new Cirrus's really are awesome planes to fly
Second advice: Have fun with your training and feel free to ask any questions.
Most of all: Be safe and dont get complacent

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. If I encounter any questions along the way I will definitely ask.

It has been a couple months since I've flown one but I'm almost 100% there is no beacon in the plane. However I always turn them off at night around other aircraft, whether that be Cirrus, Piper, or Cessna.

No beacon, strobes only in place of the beacon...so if the engine's on, strobes should be on.
No. They should be turned on when entering a runway.
Put on the nav lights before you fire up the engine. Let the rest of us keep our vision.

CSIP training is pretty good stuff, if they pull a circuit breaker and you get funny terrain indications...he pulled the flap cb. Odd wiring but it's one of the fun things they do to really test if you know the systems

3...2...1...blastoff!
And remember even w/ Fadec Props over squared is bad mmmkay. And even w/ Super Cool Turbo's you can still shock cool this airplane.
just encase you couldn't figure it out.

ahhh, i must have missed the the lack of beacon for the strobes ruining my night vision. Either that or the parachute deployed in my windscreen.
Sorry, im just confrontational tonight.
That and the fact that I dont like being told by the local doctor in his SR22 that he was going to report me because slipping a caravan is dangerous.

You're right, I forgot to mention at night it's navs only until you're rolling.
I never understood how the Cirrus pilots could be taxing at night with the strobes on too, they'd be getting bilinded the worst! :insane:

I think all that crazy system knowledge would be better spent on piloting skills or at least good manners on the ramp.

hahahah, I think any dr. flying a cirrus needs to be reported; not to say they're bad pilots but...
I had some dbag in his 22 behind me (in a baron) and when tower told him he was #2 behind the baron he had the cajones to say he was slowing down for the baron lol
Slipping a caravan probably facilitates a 3:1 descent or better. That's very dangerous.
I don't mean to be confrontational about it, but operate your aircraft professionally whether you're a weekend warrior in your piston single or getting paid to fly a jjjjjjet around through the atmosphere.
Agreed 100%And remember even w/ Fadec Props over squared is bad mmmkay. And even w/ Super Cool Turbo's you can still shock cool this airplane.

you already said it, who needs skills when you have a parachute?
