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
Cirrus SR20 22 vs Piper Arrow - Pilots of America Besides cost, a big difference between the planes is that the Cirrus feels modern, and the Piper feels, well, "classic" in comparison The other biggie is the parachute; using the parachute, my non-pilot wife can, with near certainty safely land a Cirrus in a forest, with a 100' overcast 1 4 mile visibility, at night

Cirrus v. Bonanza - Pilots of America The Cirrus does not have the complexity of retractable gear and all the systems, avionics, etc will be newer, so perhaps more reliable The SR20 engine should be less expensive than the 6-cyl Continental in a Bonanza
Cirrus checkout? - Pilots of America Many Cirrus pilots have lost their lives by not learning to respect this aircraft, thinking it's "easy" Comfortable, fast, and efficient? Yes Easy to fly? NO! Just ask some of the Cirrus pilots with hundreds of Cirrus hours who have had major and minor accidents Anyone who thinks a Cirrus is easy to fly is headed for trouble
Talk Me Out of a Cirrus - Pilots of America Here’s the skinny… Cirrus really are great airplanes - but - unless you’re buying new, forget about it Once the warranty runs out, they don’t want anything to do with them other than to get you into another new one Think of them as disposable Parts are hard to come by and the chute repack is $25k in of itself, plus expensive annuals
