About the Cirrus SR 22

The Cirrus SR22 is the best-selling single-engine piston aircraft of the 21st century and the first production general aviation airplane certified with an airframe parachute as standard equipment. Introduced in 2001 by Cirrus Aircraft of Duluth, Minnesota, the SR22 revolutionized personal aviation by combining composite construction, advanced avionics, and the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS), a ballistic whole-aircraft recovery parachute that has saved over 100 lives in real-world deployments. Powered by a Continental IO-550-N producing 310 horsepower, the SR22 cruises at 183 knots and carries four adults plus baggage up to 1,200 nautical miles, making it a capable cross-country tourer for owner-pilots and small charter operators alike.

The SR22's glass cockpit, initially featuring the Avidyne Entegra and later the Garmin Perspective avionics suite, set a new standard for situational awareness in light aircraft and influenced an entire generation of GA design. Its composite airframe keeps empty weight around 2,300 pounds despite a 3,600-pound max takeoff weight, and the low-wing configuration with fixed tricycle gear makes it approachable for pilots transitioning from trainers. The type has also served as the platform for Cirrus's Vision Jet development and remains in production today with continuous refinement across six generations, including turbocharged variants and the high-performance SR22T.

SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
