About the Cirrus Aircraft SR22

The Cirrus SR22 revolutionized general aviation when it entered production in 2001 as the world's first certified aircraft with a whole-airframe parachute recovery system as standard equipment. Built by Cirrus Aircraft in Duluth, Minnesota, the SR22 is a high-performance single-engine composite aircraft that became the best-selling four-seat piston aircraft in the world, with over 7,000 delivered. Its Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) has saved over 100 lives in real-world deployments, fundamentally changing the safety calculus for light aircraft.

Powered by a Continental IO-550-N producing 310 horsepower, the SR22 cruises at 183 knots true airspeed and climbs at 1,400 feet per minute, making it one of the fastest fixed-gear piston singles available. The aircraft's composite construction (primarily carbon fiber and fiberglass) delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and smooth aerodynamics. Maximum range exceeds 1,200 nautical miles with reserves, and the service ceiling reaches 17,500 feet. The SR22's glass cockpit, initially the Avidyne Entegra (SREY designation) and later the Garmin Perspective, brought jet-like avionics integration to the piston market years before competitors.

The type has earned a reputation among owner-pilots for combining speed, comfort, and advanced safety systems, though it demands respect for its higher approach speeds and slick aerodynamics compared to traditional trainers. The SR22 serves roles from personal transportation to flight training to air-taxi operations, with variants including the turbocharged SR22T and the latest G6 models featuring enhanced autopilot and connectivity. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
