Cirrus has been promising that 12,000 hour restriction for years, now. I wish them well. I searched the online POH for the SR20 and could not find this limitiation documented. Can you provide a link to documentation of this limit? Ah, if it is not on the Internet, it must not be true, eh? :-) Not at all, I just wanted a quick-n-easy link to point someone to. The only place you will find that is by reading the type certification. There may be some place you can find that on the Internet. That info sure makes the googling easier. Found a reference to it he http://www.airplanenoise.com/article....%20Cirrus.pdf Getting the correct number (4350) off that website makes Cirrus's own website be result #2 when googling on: sr22 4350 hours http://www.cirrusdesign.com/aircraft/faq/index.html It's definitely easy to find when you know the right info to google for. The comparision site also says that TBO on the SR22 engine is only 1700 hours, that surprised me. Then they can start figuring out why these things are falling out of the sky. There just seems to be no good reason for it. I suspect training is the issue. according to the current issue of FLYING, they have stopped falling out of the sky. Maybe the training has improved. Well, there were two of them quite recently, but maybe "Flying" went to press before those incidents occurred. True. But those were not fatal accidents. An alarmingly high rate of fatal accidents was the knock on Cirrus, as I recall. The latest FLYING has a column by one of their regulars claiming the cirrus accident rate is now roughly equivalent to that for 182's. |
