Not true, the SR-22 still is 4350 hours until you can show me a type certificate that says otherwise. If the airframe life limit has been extended then Cirrus is sure keeping quiet about it. So, where does that leave your crusade against Cirrus? Right where I started. I didn't like the plane when I thought the TBO was 2000 hours. -jav (Skylane owner, trying to offer a balanced view) A balanced view does not ignore the facts. |

Some of those comparisons are based on flawed data (airframe life, engine TBO). Actually, those are OLD data (as in "revised" since publication), not "flawed " data. You really should work for the DNC :~) |

Just a few corrections:
Max. cruise is 165 at 20000 ft. and 88% power. Range WITH 45 miuntes reserve is 635 nm (88% power) to 970 nm (45% power). Gerd ATP, T182T |

Nope...CJ was right, it's 1700 hours (TCM IO-550...normally aspirated). No, CJ is wrong, the IO-550 in the SR22 has a 2000 hour TBO. http://www.tcmlink.com/producthighlights/ENGTBL.PDF The IO-550N is on the second page, sixth line from the bottom. Again, I don't own an SR22 (actually, I own a Skylane) but stating inaccurate data to make a point is not right. Are you implying a lie (ala Joe Wilson) or the fact that they have one model of 550 that has a 2000 hr TBO vs. all their other models with 1700? Oh, good grief. I'm saying that the engine in the SR22, which is the IO-550N, has a TBO of 2000 hours. -jav |

You know, we as pilots sure do a **** poor job in promoting evolution. We whine and complain about how it's all old stuff because the FAA gets in the way of everything, but when a new design comes along, we sure are ready to bash it to pieces. -jav |

I did post the link to TCM's datasheet on the engine, stating a TBO of 2000 hours. The lifetime of the airframe was recently lifted to 12,000 hours. Now what? -jav |

I'd think this would be something Cirrus would be happy to announce. So I'm surprised their Aircraft/FAQ page still says "The SR22 airframe was initially certified for 4,350 using data derived from the SR20 test. Cirrus is nearing completion of the same structural tests used to extend limits of the SR20 and anticipates that the SR22 will soon be rated for the 12,000-hour life." |

Even if it was not, you are still faced with a fatal accident rate per 100,000 hours 10 times that of average, Put the average PPL into a Boeing 737, and I bet the accident rate will be even higher. So the 737 is an inherently unsafe plane? Statistics offers the numbers, but they must be interpreted. Stefan |
