Trending Cause of Cirrus SR 22 NA Turbo Engine Failures Do Cirrus SRxx have 2 fuel pumps (one mechanical on the engine and one electric) Yes, that's what it has They are connected in series -- see the diagram below The electric one is normally used during takeoff, landing and switching tanks, but the emergency checklist calls for turning it on in case of in-flight engine failure
A Statistical Analysis of Cirrus Accidents - Pilots of America As most of you are aware, I do a lot of Homebuilt accident statistical analyses, using the NTSB accident database As part of that, I occasionally use the same processes to look at particular production-type aircraft The ongoing discussions re: Cirrus accidents got me curious So I fired up
Handling and speed of SR20 vs. C172 - Pilots of America I always related an SR 20 to an Arrow in mission, never flew the 20 Similar speed, capacity, economy Greater room and simplicity with the cirrus though Arrow seats come out easy, cirrus "sort of" fold, but not really
Cirrus success - Pilots of America Cirrus builds what the legacy manufacturers don’t seem interested in: Efficient, fast, comfortable planes with the latest avionics, made of modern materials Piper’s closest equivalent was designed in the 70s; Cessna’s nearest competitor hasn’t been made for nearly 40 years
Whats the difference in the SR22T and SR22TN? - Pilots of America Originally Cirrus used the Tornado Alley Turbo STC to build the SR22TN They basically took their regular plane with the IO550K and bolted the TAT system to it right at the factory The engine has the same compression and the turbo only maintains a charging pressure slightly above atmospheric (30 5in or so) to compensate for the effect of increased backpressure Two years ago or so, Cirrus
Cirrus SR22 vs Cessna 172 a newbies perspective! - Pilots of America I flew a Cessna 172S G1000 a few months ago and then I got into a Cirrus SR22 just recently in a flight club Both conditions were perfect with viz greater than 20 miles In my opinion, I didn't like the way Cirrus has the joystick on the left side like that, it just feels awkward I thought
Cirrus SR20 22 vs Piper Arrow - Pilots of America Besides cost, a big difference between the planes is that the Cirrus feels modern, and the Piper feels, well, "classic" in comparison The other biggie is the parachute; using the parachute, my non-pilot wife can, with near certainty safely land a Cirrus in a forest, with a 100' overcast 1 4 mile visibility, at night
Hypothetical: Time to fly Cirrus Vision Jet - Pilots of America This is purely a hypothetical Let's say you are not a pilot and you win the lotto And you want to buy a Cirrus Vision Jet Money is no object Would you: 1) Buy and learn to fly and then get your hours in a Cirrus SR22T then get a Vision Jet? If so how many hours would you need in order to
A Cirrus Piston Twin - Practical? - Pilots of America Clearly Cirrus is doing something right and making some darned nice airplanes A parachute across all models, now a jet with autoland and a trainer that will probably sell quite well So it had me wondering could Cirrus pull off a piston twin? Would there be a market for it given all the
