Tony,

The 4000 hours had to have lost them sales


Well, they're the best selling piston single engine aircraft line. So
just what do you base that statement on?

A couple of things actually.

First, the pure logic which dictates that many pilots would not lay out
$500,000 on an aircraft with a specified airframe life of 4000 hours.

Second, of the three friends of mine who own SR20's, they were all put
off by the specified airframe life of the SR22.

Third, a conversation with the Cirrus sales team at Arlington.
I asked them if they had any further progress in extending the airframe
life of the SR22. They told me that they were still waiting, but when it
was approved they expected sales on the SR22 to improve dramatically.
