Cirrus sr 22 simulator#
A casual observer might not see any changes to the panel or cockpit in this 2012 model compared to the 4 year old 2008 model that Carenado used for our flight simulator model. He sums it up with “The airplane is beautiful to look at but it is also a pleasure to fly, and not just for the excellent true airspeeds, fine climbing ability, great visibility, and comfortable seats.”Īt first glance, this 2012 model appears to be identical to the Carenado SR22 GTSx Turbo model introduced for FSX and P3D just last week. Toward the end of the magazine article there are a few paragraphs that describe the SR22T from a pilots view point. Goyer owns a fractional share interest in a Cirrus SR22 and is IFR current. A little more digging and I find that Mr. It appears that he may have designated himself as the one and only to fly and write about the latest release or latest paint job coming out of Duluth. Goyer has lots of flying time in the two Cirrus models. Nice.Īfter reading several more articles in the Flying archives I find that Mr. It also appears he may have been given a demonstrator to fly as much as he wishes in order to write the favorable article. Goyer is completely enamored with the new 60/40 split seat and everything else is so so.

Sandwiched between the five photos of the new 60/40 split rear seat is a gorgeous full shot of the interior showing the Garmin Perspective G1000 panel that also shows the two side stick controls and the well designed and implemented lower center console area that houses the keypad controller, autopilot, comm unit, Oxygen and Flap controls.ĭifferent folks pick up on different trends but what I gather from reading this article is Mr. I find this puzzling as my wife’s 2006 Acura MDX has a 60/40 split rear seat and the grandkids don’t seem the think it is anything special at all.

Five of the remaining seven photographs illustrate how to use the new 60/40 split back seat. The second oversized photo is sitting on the ramp with several high rise condos for a backdrop. This eight page spread has nine photographs, the first one takes up almost two full pages and is beautiful view of a silver and white turbo model climbing out with the Saint Petersburg bridge in the background. This particular Flying magazine article was authored by none other than the Editor-in-Chief, Mr. It turns out that even with the full airframe emergency parachute system the pilots and owners still make age old dumb mistakes, like running out of fuel on a 3 mile final approach or pulling the red handle and deploying the chute over a heavily wooded area when they could have glided to a nice open and flat landing area if they would have only looked over their shoulder. Other than having fixed landing gear and rubber tires it does not have much else in common with the Skyhawk.
It also helps that it looks like it was patterned after the Mercedes Gull Wing speedster and gives the appearance of doing 200 knots while sitting on the ramp without the engine running.īut it is indeed faster, more expensive, and sexier than the Cessna 172 Skyhawk for sure. A lot of that has to do with good timing, a forwarding thinking management and sales team, and a good basic design for a family airplane. It's not the fastest, the most expensive, or even the sexiest plane out there, but it is partly responsible for resurgence in private flying. The Cirrus SR22 is a thoroughly modern plane, and has been the bestselling model in the single-engine segment for the last five years, surpassing the long time number one place holder Cessna 172. Should you be one of those browsers in the magazine section of a book store last April, you would have been greeted with a slick photo of the latest Cirrus SR22 climbing out in South Florida. I’m sure the editors spend lots of valuable time selecting just the right photo with the perfect lighting and soothing colors to entice you and me to pick their magazine off the shelf and not the one with the sailboat or the sexy GT hot rod. The cover of Flying magazine seems to always have a catchy photograph.
