Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) · High-Performance Flagship

The Cirrus SR22 Turbo: full power all the way up

Three hundred and ten turbocharged horsepower, a 215-knot cruise, full Cirrus Perspective glass, and a whole-airframe parachute for everyone on board. This is the airplane many owners fly for real — and the flagship of our Van Nuys fleet.

The Turbo Difference

The smartest, fastest, safest piston single

A normally aspirated engine loses power as it climbs. The SR22 Turbo does not. Turbonormalizing lets it hold full rated power to high altitude, so it climbs strongly and cruises around 215 knots up where the air is smooth and the views over Southern California are unbeatable — all the way toward 25,000 feet with oxygen.

Behind the sidestick sits the Cirrus Perspective flight deck: large glass displays, integrated autopilot, and the kind of situational awareness that makes a fast airplane feel calm and manageable, even for a lower-time pilot flying with an instructor.

CAPS

A parachute for the whole airplane

Every Cirrus is built around the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System — a rocket-deployed parachute that can lower the entire aircraft, and everyone in it, safely to the ground. It is a layer of safety no other production piston single offers, and it is one reason so many families and professional pilots choose the SR22.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What makes the SR22 Turbo special as a trainer?
It combines modern glass avionics, real cross-country speed, and whole-airframe parachute safety in one airplane. Training in it means learning on the same advanced systems you will use for serious travel.
What does turbonormalized mean?
A turbonormalized engine uses a turbocharger to maintain sea-level power as you climb, instead of losing power with altitude. That gives strong high-altitude climb and cruise performance.
How does the CAPS parachute work?
The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System is a rocket-deployed parachute that can lower the entire airplane to the ground. It is a unique, whole-aircraft safety layer standard on every Cirrus.
Can a student pilot really train in the SR22?
Yes, with an instructor. Many pilots train toward their ratings in the Cirrus, and its avionics and automation actually help manage workload while you learn.
How do I get my high-performance endorsement?
Any airplane with more than 200 horsepower requires a high-performance endorsement. Our instructors provide the ground and flight training in the SR22 and endorse you when you are ready.
I am buying a Cirrus — can you train me in mine?
Absolutely. We provide transition and high-performance training, and we can work in your own aircraft to get you flying it confidently and safely.
