When the Cirrus rep handed me the keys to a brand new 2016 SR22T for an evaluation flight, I could only nod my head and smile at one of the new features in the latest iteration of this sports car with wings: a key fob with remote keyless entry. Press the button just like you would standing outside your Mercedes or Porsche and the doors to the plane automatically unlock. Shouldn’t all new planes have this feature, I thought?
