CIRRUS SR SERIES

Cirrus SR Series for Sale — The Aircraft That Redefined Safety in Personal Aviation

The Cirrus SR series changed the conversation about personal aircraft safety in a way that no other design has matched before or since. When Cirrus Design introduced the SR20 in 1999 with the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) as standard equipment, they made a statement that the industry had been avoiding for decades: that the ultimate safety backup for a single-engine aircraft is not a better engine, a better pilot, or better avionics — it is a parachute that can lower the entire aircraft to the ground in the event of an unrecoverable emergency. The CAPS system has saved hundreds of lives since its introduction, and its presence has fundamentally shifted how buyers evaluate aircraft safety.

The SR Series Family

• SR20 — The original Cirrus, with Continental IO-360-ES at 200 hp, composite construction, side-stick control, and CAPS as standard. Established the design philosophy and the market.
• SR22 — The SR20 with a more powerful Continental IO-550-N at 310 hp, larger fuel tanks for greater range, and improved useful load. The SR22 became the world's best-selling high-performance piston aircraft and remains so today.
• SR22T — Turbocharged SR22 with Continental TSIO-550-K at 315 hp, enabling cruise altitudes above 25,000 feet and true airspeeds exceeding 210 knots — the performance pinnacle of the SR series.
• SR22 G5, G6, G7 — Generation designations indicating progressive improvements to avionics (Garmin Perspective+ in G6+), interior, safety systems, and CAPS rocket motors.

The Perspective+ Flight Deck

Current generation SR22 and SR22T aircraft feature the Garmin Perspective+ avionics suite — a fully integrated glass cockpit with synthetic vision, traffic awareness, ADS-B weather, and the industry-leading Safe Return Autoland system in the latest G7 generation. Safe Return allows a non-pilot to land the aircraft autonomously by pressing a single button — extending the CAPS safety philosophy beyond parachute deployment to complete emergency automation.
