Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an aircraft that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other attractive qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.

The sleek, teardrop shape of this Cirrus SR22 marks it as a modern pioneer in general aviation design and technology. Its airframe is so aerodynamically efficient that there is no need to retract its landing gear. This detail, among others, helps set the Cirrus apart on the typical airport ramp.

Cirrus Aircraft caused a sensation in the 1990s with the introduction of its sleek SR series of high-performance four-seat singles. Composite construction, free of the joints, seams, and rivets that characterized previous generations of GA aircraft, gave the new Cirrus models a futuristic look that continues to turn heads today. The integration of an airframe parachute in its design made the Cirrus a one-of-a-kind product with an extra margin of safety that attracted new customers to light aircraft.

This SR22’s panel includes Avidyne primary flight and multifunction displays and an Avidyne DFC90 autopilot, dual Garmin GNS 430W nav/coms, Stormscope, CMAX electronic approach charts, EMAX engine monitoring and ETAWS terrain avoidance and warning system. The cabin is air-conditioned, and the airframe has TKS ice protection.

The aircraft has 1,280 hours on its airframe and on its 310 hp Continental IO-550 engine, which has a 2000-hour TBO. The engine is equipped with a Tanis preheater. Its Hartzell PHC-J3YF-1RF 3-blade propeller with a polished spinner has 615 hours since overhaul.

Free transition training (Cirrus Embark) is included with the purchase from Southwest Aero.

Pilots seeking comfort, speed, and modern technology throughout an aircraft, not just in its panel, can take a closer look at this Cirrus SR22 G2, which is available for $419,000 on AircraftForSale

You can arrange financing of the airplane through FLYING Financial Group. For more information, email info@flyingfinancial.com.
