The Cirrus SR22 is a highly regarded single-engine, piston-powered general aviation aircraft, renowned for its innovative design, safety features, and performance. Manufactured by Cirrus Aircraft, a company headquartered in Duluth, Minnesota, the SR22 was first introduced in 2001 as an enhanced version of the earlier SR20 model. It has since become one of the best-selling aircraft in its class, appealing to private pilots and business travelers alike. One of the standout features of the SR22 is its advanced safety system, the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS), which deploys a whole-airframe parachute in emergencies. This groundbreaking feature has been credited with saving numerous lives and is a major reason for the aircraft’s popularity among safety-conscious buyers. The SR22 is powered by a 310-horsepower Continental IO-550-N engine, enabling a maximum cruising speed of approximately 183 knots (340 km/h) and a range of around 1,200 nautical miles (2,222 km). The aircraft’s efficiency and performance make it suitable for both short regional flights and longer cross-country missions. It is equipped with advanced avionics, including the Garmin Perspective+ flight deck, which features a user-friendly interface, synthetic vision technology, and integrated autopilot capabilities. The design of the SR22 is another key factor in its success. It features a composite airframe, sleek aerodynamics, and a fixed tricycle landing gear configuration. The spacious and ergonomically designed cabin offers comfortable seating for up to five occupants, along with climate control and modern conveniences like USB ports and leather upholstery. Over the years, Cirrus has released various iterations of the SR22, including the turbocharged SR22T, which provides improved performance at higher altitudes.
