Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 1x Continental IO-550-N, each producing 310 HP of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 186 knots (undefined), with a long-range cruise of 170 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 17,500 feet puts the Cirrus SR22 well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 1,617 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 770 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Cirrus SR22 handles short-haul regional flights connecting major metropolitan areas within a few hundred miles. Typical hourly operating costs range from $300-$500 per flight hour.
