The aircraft

The world's best-selling piston aircraft, and the one you'll want to own

The SR22 is where a Clipper student's training tends to get serious. A 310-horsepower Continental, a genuine 180-knot cruise and a flight deck that will not feel unfamiliar when you eventually move to a turbine.

It is also the airplane that teaches modern single-pilot resource management honestly: autopilot discipline, energy management, and the judgement to use the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System as the last link in a chain rather than the first.

Instrument, commercial and high-performance endorsements are all flown on type, with the same aircraft you trained on.

  • Cirrus Airframe Parachute System fitted as standard
  • Full glass flight deck with envelope protection
  • Flown for private, instrument, commercial and high-performance training
