- Cirrus success - Pilots of America
Cirrus is selling planes because they found a market segment, targeted it, and positioned a product that segment wanted There’s nothing innovative in the product or the business model Textron and Piper target a different market (141 fleets) Cirrus cannot compete in that market with the SR20
- A Statistical Analysis of Cirrus Accidents | Pilots of America
Cirrus' 34 2% is about twice that of the overall GA fleet But remember, the lethality of an an accident depends on how fast the airplane is going at impact and a high-performance aircraft like the Cirrus, Cessna 210, and the high-powered homebuilts will have higher fatality rates Yes, the Cirrus rate is about 50% higher than the Cessna 210
- Cirrus SR20 22 vs Piper Arrow - Pilots of America
The Cirrus will cost more to purchase, sales tax will be more, state license will be more if you're in a place like Minnesota where it's based on the value of the plane Fuel will probably be less on the Cirrus, it's a good 20 knots faster and they're both 200 HP (if memory serves me right)
- Cirrus unveils Garmin AutoLand on its single engine SR series as . . .
This is one of the scenarios where Cirrus teaches pilots to pop the chute, and I doubt that would change In terms of handling an engine failure after a pilot incapacitation where the system is already on, I would imagine that it probably has instructions on the screen for pulling the handle to pop the chute

- Cirrus SR22 vs Cessna 172 a newbies perspective!
Put it this way, if I'm taking a few friends on a 100 mile flight to the beach for the weekend, I'll take the 172 (or 182) every time it's just as capable (with the exception of the new SR22T w FIKI capability) as the Cirrus, but is much cheaper and more comfortable than the Cirrus (the single axis of adjustability and stiffness of the front
- To CSIP or not to CSIP? - Pilots of America
The Cirrus is a fairly conventional plane, and extremely safe when flown correctly, but has some bite-ya characteristics that are well known to the Cirrus specific instructors Without a doubt your transition should absolutely, positively, unequivocally be done by a CSIP
- Insurance on Cirrus SR22T - Pilots of America
I've seen people quoted up to $18K for one year for an SR22 (non-turbo) This was a new 70 hour Private Pilot, with ZERO time in type model of aircraft being insured No instrument rating and no Cirrus Transition Course Most places that rent the SR22T require instrument rating with 200+ hours total time
