A Slick SR’s More than Just Good Looks

Key Takeaways:

  • The 2022 Cirrus SR G6 features drag reduction optimizations in areas like FIKI panels and wheel pants, resulting in a noticeable 2-knot increase in true airspeed (e.g., 181 ktas at 8,500 ft msl) without the usual performance penalty for ice protection.
  • New convenience features include a baggage door integrated into the remote lock system, which now opens beyond 90 degrees with a gas strut, and a step light for improved visibility during low-light operations.
  • Cirrus has expanded customization options for the 2022 models, offering a wider range of exterior paint colors (including "Himalayan Salt") and greater flexibility for owners to personalize interior and exterior design choices.

What’s a perfect day for a pilot in January? Clear skies, calm winds, and temperatures just far enough above the basement to enable both a pain-free walkaround and stellar engine performance.

We had all of these for the demo flight we took in the new 2022 Cirrus SR G6 this week, so we did what clearly any pilots would do.
