Default Cirrus SR-20

I am just easily pleased or is the cockpit of this aircraft slick for a single engine plane?

My FBO is expecting two delivered in April. Hourly rental at $190 is a bit pricey.

I really like the plane, if I could just fly it. I am in the middle of trying to get my tranisition to PFD/MFD in a 2004 SR20 presently. Been trying since early January, but it keeps ending in the shop

I think I'd call that a 'red flag'.

It's like really really wanting to go out with this girl, but she keeps getting herpes.

At least it was night VFR. 20 minutes later and it could of gotten real interesting, and most likely stuck at a remote airport. Sad, it wasn't the first time a controller asked me if I needed assistance!

...but beware! There is so much "cool" stuff inside the cockpit that you tend not to look outside.

I've also read that the safety net of having an airframe parachute tends to get VFR pilots into situations that they have no business being in. Otherwise AWSOME airplane!

I fly the SR-22 – when I have an extra EUR160.00 per hour… ouch!

I teach in the 20/22. Our students get it for $120/hr. Awesome plane to fly, but my student thought the TKS sump was a fuel sump and put the fluid back in the fuel tank. The next crew found the greasy gats jar.
