- A Statistical Analysis of Cirrus Accidents - Pilots of America
As most of you are aware, I do a lot of Homebuilt accident statistical analyses, using the NTSB accident database As part of that, I occasionally use the same processes to look at particular production-type aircraft The ongoing discussions re: Cirrus accidents got me curious So I fired up
- To CSIP or not to CSIP? - Pilots of America
The Cirrus is a fairly conventional plane, and extremely safe when flown correctly, but has some bite-ya characteristics that are well known to the Cirrus specific instructors Without a doubt your transition should absolutely, positively, unequivocally be done by a CSIP Sorry for the lack of conviction ;-) There are more Cirrus fatals with CFI's on board than there should, be almost none of
- Trending Cause of Cirrus SR 22 NA Turbo Engine Failures
Do Cirrus SRxx have 2 fuel pumps (one mechanical on the engine and one electric) Yes, that's what it has They are connected in series -- see the diagram below The electric one is normally used during takeoff, landing and switching tanks, but the emergency checklist calls for turning it on in case of in-flight engine failure
- Another week, another Cirrus crash - Pilots of America
A Cirrus SR22 GTS G3, N42BE, was destroyed when it impacted trees while on approach to land at Ruston Regional Airport (RSN KRSN), Ruston, Louisiana The sole pilot onboard sustained fata
- Cirrus success - Pilots of America
Cirrus builds what the legacy manufacturers don’t seem interested in: Efficient, fast, comfortable planes with the latest avionics, made of modern materials Piper’s closest equivalent was designed in the 70s; Cessna’s nearest competitor hasn’t been made for nearly 40 years
- Whats the difference in the SR22T and SR22TN? - Pilots of America
Originally Cirrus used the Tornado Alley Turbo STC to build the SR22TN They basically took their regular plane with the IO550K and bolted the TAT system to it right at the factory The engine has the same compression and the turbo only maintains a charging pressure slightly above atmospheric (30 5in or so) to compensate for the effect of increased backpressure Two years ago or so, Cirrus
- SR22 Instability - Pilots of America
Does anyone have any good links to articles or publications that discuss instability particular to the Cirrus SR22? From what I was told the FAA would not certify the aircraft had it not been for the CAPS system
- Comparison between SR22T and DA42 VI - Check my numbers
Rick - your Cirrus numbers are unusual since few people fly them ROP It may be ROP if it is brand new and in break - otherwise that is definitely doable in an NA if you do run ROP But typical SR22 cruise figures are 170 KTAS at 13-15 gph (depending on altitude) LOP That's how I always flew my previous SR22 NA plane The SR22T or TN is flown LOP around 15 5-17 5 gph for speed range of 185
