Just finished my transition training into the Cirrus SR-20 and 22, covering both the avionics packages which opens up my rental options across many flight lines.
Also received my high performance endorsement, however the SR22 has to be considered as one of the easier HP machines to fly. Two levers (mixture and throttle) vs Throttle, Prop control, Mixture, Cowl Flaps etc and management of the heat and fuel flow in more complex aircraft.
I absolutely loved the avionics packages and the autonomy and awareness it brings to a single pilot and my wife certainly enjoys the air conditioning, xm radio and leather seats.
I'm still 95% sure I will complete my IR ticket on a 172 or similar in terms of 6 pack and airspeed. Anyone think any differently and suggest I do my IR in a Cirrus?
Cheers
