The SR22T-GTS is a turbocharged version of the successful SR22.
Side-stick controllers are featured in all Cirrus aircraft. Also standard is the Cirrus Aircraft Parachute System, which can be deployed in the case of an emergency. The system was tested and a landing at the maximum rate of descent did not create loads that would cause injury to the occupants.
The aircraft is fully IFR capable, with a fully electric instrument system (no vacuum power needed). The payload is very good for a four-place aircraft. Handling is similar to the SR20, making it predictable and stable. A 315 hp turbocharged Continental TSIO-550-K engine powers the SR22T. The aircraft was certificated in 2010.
The Cirrus SR22T-GTS is equipped with either the Garmin G1000-based Cirrus Perspective avionics suite or the Avidyne avionics suite.
